Already the fading that precedes the advent of China Now Your han made itself apparent not only among the business olass but among the domestica as wall, and Europeans are trying to view with emposure the prospective dislocation, of their housshold arrangements,
Now is the time when servants are prone to give way to temptation, and it beheros Europeans to remember the portion of a corisin prayer which expresses the wish not to be led into temptation. In other words, they should keep a dese eye on their valuables, no matter how trasted the servants may have proved in the past. We all know that it is temptation which frequently makes the thief.
It does secto something of a reflection on the 'unofoal members of the Legislative Council that they were not alive to the opportunity given to thom a fortnight before to say-nico. things about the departing 'olonial Secretary when the Governor brought the subject to their notice and invited them to propose any resolu tion on the subject that they thought fit. Looks as if their minds worked rather leisurely. Or is it that they enjoy there little excursions up to the august chamber?

I wonder if the Director of Pallic Works really meant what he said when in reply to the hon. Mr. Osberus he mentioned that "unfor- tunately there has been discovered some defect
in the construction of the roof," Personally. I should think it was fortunate that the discovery was made,
The training operations at the amoures on Saturday morning were enlivened by an event that-orented considerable interest and provided no little amusement. To determine their worth or otherwise for racing purpose ten ponies- took part in the "Rotter" Stakor, distanca One Round. From a straggling start the raco provel that four "rotters" were much better than the others, and Mr. Klimansk's moart beat the three next best by couple of lengths, with the remainder strung out.
I hope I won't be accused of serving up *bauld kail bet again" by referring to the flock Towar or the new Post Oftes. It is understood that the project to erect a ålesk has been abandoned, but the tower which was to house it has been built. Trobably our authorities are in the hope that some day the Colony may be Anancially able to furnish the Dessary time. piece, and for that purpose they hårs not altered the constraction of that part of the building, Ant we have overal gentlemen in our midat who, I am sure, will welcome an opportunity of bestowing some benofsotion upea the place where Fortune has been kind to them.

This stranger's attitude is unfortunately that of too many- Britons. They want everybody else to learn their language. They don't want to be bothered themselves acquiring a knowledge of any other tongae. No wonder Mark Tmin said the British were mentioned in the Rible, and then quoted, "Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.”
The theory that a barmaid is not a barmaid when she is a publiaan's wife or daughter repre- sents a social and economic diference which the law is not prepared to revogaise in Hong- kang. The Government definition of the term which has been obtained by the Daily Press is very oloar and leaves little room for doubt as to intentions of the Government in the matter, but isn't it obvious that the proverbial conch sud four way bo'driven through that Ordinance The intention, I take it, is to get rid of female attractions; but to probibit barmaids-that is, "women who serve liquor in a public-house” — does not got rid of the women. If I may speak from casual observation while passing up or down Queen's Road, I should say that more women are employed as doorstep attrac tions than as barmaids.
The Government of Hongkong is taking time by the forelock in securing itself against the espionage of balloonists and aviators which might very well prove a future menace to its safety. A Bill to contrul such ascents has been introduced into the Legislative Council.
Ochanes Sir Henry and Lady May leave us on Saturday, when they sail for their new home in the sunny sonth. How mack we shall miss them is indicated by the number of farewells they have already said and will say this wook before Saturday. They are certain of a good send-off on Saturday.
Tonkin ought to be able to boast a Caledonian Society soon. The chief engineer for the new pulp and paper com pany is a Scot and the six European employers in charge of the various departments are also from the samb airt. The report of their proceedings at a St. Andrew's dinner ought to look particularly unattractive in French.

DIOCESAN 8C:100L AND ORPHANAGE. Lient-Colonel Bir Joseph Fayrer presided at the annual prime distribution of the Diocesan School on Saturday. There was a large number of parents and friends of the boys in attendance, and Colonel Fayzer had seated with him on a platform in the school room in which the ceremony took place his Lordship the Bishop of Victoria, the Rev. F. T. Johnson and Mr. G. Piercy, hoad-mastor of the school.
Bishop LANDER, after an opening prayer, said he felt that this school deserved the support of the people of the Colony for several reasons. In the first place, it was an efficient school. As they would hear from the report, ninoteen boys went up for the Oxford Local Examinations, and everyone of them passed, ong with special honours. (Applause.) Then, the Dioceman was a cosmopolitan school A few years ago he counted up the different nationalities represented among its scholare, und found no less than nine; and as it was possible to learn something from all the untiuus of the earth, he was sure the boys would learn a great deal from one another. Again, this school was charitable. There were those unfortunately, who were left in this Colony in indigent circumstances, and ever since this school had been starteil it was the privilege of the management to take in certain orphans and The following is the table up to date ·

Likewise, it was religions, and not only trained a boy's mind and body, but believed also that he had an immortal soul and gave him a sound religious education. For these reasons he thought the school was one which deserved the support of all who desired the well-being of the boys of the Colony,

three months or so he believed that the boys had been intellectually, morally and physically fed, and judging from the report he could see that their appetites had been good, and that they had absorbed all the nourishment of the food that had been given them. And now came the time for the boys to rest to digest their somewhat heavy meals, and he wished them all, from the bottom of his heart, a very happy holiday. He would strongly
urge
them to make the most of it; to be out of doors as much as possible, and to keep up their reputation in the football feld. He had been addressing them in somewhat serai soientifio metaphor, hat this was done out of compliment to the school, which was a scientific school. To those boys who had won prises and distinctions he offered his very special congratulations. They not only should be proud of themselves, bat proud to know that the whole of the school and all thoir riastern were pread of them. To those boys who had not been successful in the examinations ho would give the following advies: Work on and hope on, and do your best."

While carrying out these improve ments and endeavouring to take part in training granates of the University in which the Head of the Administration of this Colony takes such a great interest, the committee is keeping in view the importance of arming those students who on not afford a university education with a practical education so that they can earn their living aftor they can no longer coatiune their studles, I-think it is a fact that all the lower grades of the neighbouring empire togethor with the varions mercantils communities in the Far East generally reruit uo, small number of young mon from schools like this of the Colony.
