Bearing upon this servant question Leane across this passage the other day in u ook written by a globe-trotting young lady

heathens of China]..
There seem
ed to me to be very little love lost between the Europeans and the natives." Quite true there is not a great amount of love lost between them. And the main reason is that favours voke no gratitude. Let me cite a case in point A European lady catches "boy" young. trains him in household duties, and teaches him Eng. lish. When he feels his feet, so to speak, he deserts without notice in order to secure higher wages elsewhere. Of course, if his whereabouts an be ascertained he can be prosecuted for having his employ without notice, but few. Europeans" are found to put themselves to the Trouble and inconvenience of prosecuting. The
instance I have quoted represents an experience which is fairly mon. It supplies an unswer to the globetrotter. I have quateal, and at the me time I may point out that a boy who leaves his employ without notier would stand ao chanen of getting employment through an oficient registry office. Thus it is ween that suelt an office while, it would be a great con- venienes to European householdsris, would be likely to exercise a distinctly beneficial infusune over the general body of Chinese donusties.

Unlicenced hawkers have a little trick of taking their youngsters out with them when going their counts, and should a policeman appear the lawker vanishes, leaving the child with the goods. The magistrates for some time took pity on the juvenile hawkers and only find thean 70 cents or so, but they now see through the dodge and inpose times of 85 or 14 days' imprisonment en quite young dildren. If the parents pay the fines-and it is really astonisking how soon impacunions Chinese fud money 10 pay fines--well, the bigger the fine the Jetter. But now that the police are up to the dodge it ought not to be difficult for detectives to secure the presence of the parout--the real astienden, -in the dock. It is distinctly hard on, the child that it should have to serve the ferm of imprisonment.
in a case at the Magistracy last week. in which fite secretary of the Hongkong and Kow- Jown Wharf and Godown. Co. was charged as representing the Company with failing to lure vertain houses at Praya East whitewashed. Mr. Looker objected to a Sunitary Board Inspector. putting questions, which, he said, should be put through the magistrate; otherwise it would be putting Sanitary Inspectors appearing, not for Flowselves, but for the Sanitary Board, on a pur with counsel and solicitors. It would. he addre, not be allowed in the Supreme Court. That is true; nor would the chief of a police department be allowed to cross-examine in that Court. Had the magistrate allowed Mr. Looker's objection it would have formed the prevedent for other changes of a like clurocter in the practice of the Court. On the whole I think Mr. Kemp wisely overruledthe objection, but the Sanitary Board night well consider whether they should not instruct their clerk to appear for them as skuilar Bourds do at home. Had the members of the Board been present in the Police Court while this particular case was in progress I am sure they would be convinced of the necessity for the change. I believe ne parallel can be found in England for the pre- fice of the Sanitary Board here is authorising some half a dozen inspectors to institute and conduct prosecutions.

There has been no alteration in the equip ment of the corps since last season; but the C. R. A. has kindly placed two additional 15-Fr. B. L. gans (making four altogether) at
