In like manner it is very hard to make an arrangement by which one Chinese shall have charge of the food provision of others, in which, if close enquiry is is made, it does not appear that those who receive the food suppose that the one who provides it is retaining a certain proportion for his own use. The dissatisfaction in such cases may possibly be wholly suppressed, but there is no reason to think that the auspicion is absent because it does not manifest itself upon the surface. Indeed it is only a foreigner who would raise the question at all, for the Chinese expect this state of things as surely as they reckou on friction in machinery, and with equal reason. If any matter is to be accomplished which requires consultation and adjustment,it does not do in Chinn, as it might in any western land, a to be delivered. at

of this is the death of a married daughter. THEATRE, ROYAL Although, an already mentioned, the parents are powerless to protect her while she lives, they are in some degree masters of the situation when she has died, if there is anything to which any suspicion can be made to attach itself. Her suicide is an occasion on which the girl's parents no longer adopt their proverbial position of holding down the heath, but the contrary hold their head erect, and virtually impose their own terms. The refusal to come to an understanding with the family of the girl under such circum- stances would be punished by a long and vexa- tious lawsuit, the motive for which would be in the first instance revenge, but the main issue of which would eventually be the preservation of the face of the girl's family.
