With the increase of population and of caltivation there is a noticeable change in the climate. Year by your it is blooming milder. Grain drops grow now which a few years ago the severity of the climate prevented from ripening. With the growth of population the revenue is increasing and, though the province still dorives financial assistance from the older provinces to the amount of £375,000 annually. the time cannot be far distant when it will be Up till now with the exception self-supporting. of the land tax the province has been exempt from taxation such as is levied in other pro vinces. Corruption le bese ming more difficult, Contribations forwarded for its maintenance from other province are being applied more to the needs of the province and less to the personal enrichment of the officials entrusted with distribution. A new spirit is animating the province, s spirit that manifests itself in im- proved education along more modern lines in improved methods of finance, in an improved army and police, and in the movement for the suppression of opium.

CURRENCY AND SCHOOLS IN UBUMCHÈ In Uramohi material progress is to be noted in almost every direction. There is less onrzeney confasion than is nemal in a Chinese city.
