How He is Housed,
Mr I. M. McAnderson, a visitor to South Africs, had an opportunity of seeing the lately imported Chinese at work, and of learning a great deal of interest about them. He ascertained that there were al the time of his visit about 11,000 Chinese on the field, by the end of the year there will be 24,000. Altogether 60,00 have been ordered, but the samples so far to band are giving so much entisiaction that it is expected that ultimately over 200,000 will be employed. The first Chiness that are rived were from the southern parts of Chins, The others bave ali come from the Northern districts, and are atated by Mr Anderson to
entirely different-looking
lot of men.
be
* They are fine, upstanding intelligent fel- lows, in height from öft. Sia, to fit. They most favorably impress one, and I should think will ultimately do the work that whito men could do, and will probably be employ- ed in all departments excepting the batte- ries and oyaniding planta, where the gold chinese are such expart thieves when they wish to thieve that white men will be employed there.

Coal freights have weakened a bit lately. After a few fixtures in Japan at $2.25 per ton for this port, 82 per ton had to be accepted for prompt loading, but it is ex- pected that rates will rally again before long. Moji/Shanghai, there is a good de- mind at $1.00 per ton, steamers being wanted for a series of trips. Japan/Sing. apore, the Market is weak at $3.30 per ton. On time basis, a fair amount of charter ing has taken place, both for local and Northern requirements and full rates have been granted. A good deal more tonnage is wanted but not easy to procure on account of the very high" figures asked by
ownura.

TWENTY-five years mean a large part Tof a man's life. If you slept the whole of that time at a stretch you would nator lly feel that you had wasted a great part of your existence, yet time spent in pain and suffering that unfits you for think ing and working is worse than wasted, and a urent many lives are blighted in that way which might be made happy and useful by using Bile Beanr as a cure and preventive of biliousness, liver complaint, indigestion, constipation, and various other complaints caused by disorder of the liver and diges- tive organs.
Mr W. H. Norish, a farm labourer, re iding at Burraton, Stoke Climsland, Call- ington, Cornwall, suffered most severely for this length of time in consequence of frequent bilious attacks. He has now been made woll and strong by using Bile Beans, and is entirely free from any trace of bili ousness. To a Liskeard Weekly Mer- cary reporter he recently disclosed the facts of his case and the manner of his wonderful restoration to health.

The attacks would commence with sick head- sche, accompanied in short time with severe vomiting.

He though! my bass serious one and hard to cura. Doctors physic and various medicines. which I obtained were of no avail. One day, however, read of Bile Beans, and decided to try them. To my great surprise and joy soon I began to feel better. I could not expect to be relieved at once, as my case was a very bad one, but have only Bile Beans to thank.*

We have first of all to reckon with the police and the warders. They naturally desire to repress the fierceness of the pri- sonors.
