Mr. Thomson stated that the plaintiff and defendant came from the same village in India. The defendant arrived in the Colony about mino months ago when he saw the plaintiff and asked if he would get him work. The plaintiff said he would try to do so, and in the meantime he supplied him with food and bought him a erat. Defendant recently got employment in Fenwick's as watchman, but had since refused to repay the amount dus. On Saturday night the defendant visited cue of the plaintiff's witnesses, and offered him a bribe of Sl not to give evidence in this ease; he further threatened that if he did he would punish him
in some way.
Mr. Almada said the defence was a complete deniel, Ever since the defendant's arrival in the Colony he had lived with two of his countrymon, but never with the plaintiff.

It is all very well for the conner to demand surtides, but in comparatively fow cases is it possible for tradesmen to appreciably reduce their charges, I can, of course, be done on goods imported directly from gold-using cocairios, but tradesmen cannot
afford to sell a ten-shilling article now at the same gure they were able to se'l it at when the exchange value of the dollar last stood at 2. In the interval the doller has been down to 1/6, rents have gone up enormously in the
Colony, atsil consequently salaries have had to go up to enable men to pay three increased rents, If the render will ponder over the mattor he will
realise that a poberat increase in rents must inevitably mi to bigler salarios, and to pay thase higher salaries prices generally have Lad to be increasel. The wholo question of "the cost of living" in Hongkong revolves arouni the question of rents-the rents, bear in mind not only of the resident European population, bat the entire Chinese community as well, Building operations in the Colony have not kopt pace with the steady growth in population. The Building Ordinance of 1908 has probably checked investment in Chinese house property, for the Ordinance has autailed heavy expences on owners of such property. These expenses are, of course, recovered from tenauts in the form of higher rentals, and the result is that the wages of labourers and artisaus have appreciably increased. It would, indeed, bo very instructive if the Government were to compile, as the Japanese Government does, a table showing the average wage of artisans and labourers every year. In the last edition of the Japanese “Resumé Statistique" it is shown thut wages increased from 60 to 100 per cent from 1895 to 1001, And during the last ten years the incresss has been in about the same propor tion, I should think, in Hongkong. There can nover be any stability about prices in Hongkong until we get a fixed exchange.
There is food for reflection in the announos.

ONE DESIGN. In this men all four bouts were over the proper line before gunfire, although well behind the roark boat. Kathleen got much tho bost of the start, while Min, who seemed to have con- scientious scruples about the proper place to start from, got left. Kathleen rounded the Channel Rocks about a minute sud a half utend of Colken, with Afin and Bonito close ap.

On the reach across, not much difference took place, except that Borilo went slightly shoud of Kathlees, the order of rounding the Mork boat being Min, Colleen, Bonito and Kathleen.

BABY GIRL'S
AWFUL HUMOUR
Would Scab Over, Break Open, and Be Raw-Intense Suffering for Two Years-Doctors and Medicines Failed to Help Her.
CURED BY CUTICURA
WHEN ALL ELSE FAILED
Writing under date of August 15, 1904, Mrs. L. C. Walker, of 5 Tremont Street, Woodfords, Mc., says: "My sister had a terrible humour on her shoulder when she was eighteen months old, causing intense suffering for two years. We had several doctors, and tried everything, but in spite of all we did it kept spreading. One day it would scab over and then crack open and a watery matter ooze from it and the scabs would all fall off. It would be raw for a time, then scab over again. Some one recommended Cuticura, and we immediately procured a box of Cuticura Ointment, and a cake of Cuticura Soap, She was much better after the first bath with warm water and soap, and
and an application of the Ointment. Before it was half gone we saw a marked change for the better, and she was entirely cured, without a scar being left, by the one box of Ointment and one cake of Soap, Her skin is now catirely clear, and she has not had a sign of trouble since."
