The President pointed out that the report covered a good deal of ground, and could not be dealt with just then very well. He suggested that a Commission should be appointed to draw up a report,
Capt. Deane thought that the Secretary could do that, and, Mr. Ede seconding, that view was adapted.

The Secretary then read a letter from the have at present. It is never difficult for a Acting Colonial Secretary, requesting the woman to persuade herself that she is in love; Board to consider several recommendations and if the moment she ha performed this made by the Fever Commission, and, inquir- easy feat, the weight of tr. dtion, of public ing what immediate and eventual action opinion, and of example were to influence the Roard proposed to take to carry them her toward accepting her supposed lover's out. The recommendations referred to, the proposals, we should indeed have plenty of disposal of the dead, the drying of sugar-bags marrying in haste and repenting at leisure. That on the upper roads, the manuring and irrigation girls are strongly influenced by the convention- of gardens, the disposal of the city refuse, cooliealisms among which they are brought up is indeed a matter of congratulation. They are thus quarters, etc.
protected from that fatal gift of believing things that they know to be untrue, which in some measure belongs to every woman. The desire to marry well often proves the touch-stone by which unconsciously a girl is enabled to take the true measure of he feelings toward a man, If it overcomes the conventions in regard to a bad match she need not feel afraid of trusting herself to its direction. If it does not, in ninety-. nine cases out of a hundred the passion was merely a delusion from which a woman will some day thank heaven she esc ped in safely.
So far from the social danger of the present worldliness of women, we are age being half inclined to think that the weaker sex are ready to abandon too easily the older notions in regard to marriage, are getting a little too prone to make love in the abstract the only condition. This we believe would be a reil disadvantage, though it is possibly balanced by

The Secretary then read the report of the Sanitary Surveyor-Mr. Cooper-for the past year. It doalled the number of plans inspected and houses visited, and reported a marked improvement in drain construction.
The Secretary then read his own report, as Sanitary Superintendent.
Captain Deane next moved the adoption of the revised bye-laws referring to common lodging houses. He explained that the old bye-laws usurped the powers of the Registrar-General respecting the licensing of lodging-houses, and had had to be amended.
Di. Ayres seconded, and they were adopted. The Secretary then read the report of the Cam- mittee considering the Vaccination Bill, which stated, among other details, that the birth-rate in Hongkong was about 1650 per annum, of

ARE WOMEN MERCENARY? |
TO WHAT EXTENT MONEY AFFECTS THE CHOICE
OF HUSBANDS
"Mr. Punch," is the rhymed assault upon -modern manners to which he has been treating his renders for the last few weeks, would have us understand that the woman of modern times is far more mercenary, as well as far less simple, than her sister of a generation or two ago. If we are to believe the pictures displayed to our view in "The Modern Asmodeus," the girl of the period, though by no means disinclined to en- courage the attentions of the lover, has no sor! of notion of entering upon the matrimonial contract unless her waner ås possessed of a fortune. Love is all very well in flirtations, but marrige de. mands something more serious and matter-of-fict The essential question which must be asked béfre all' others in What is be. worth?" If this cannot be answered a›tisfactorily then all further consideration of a suitor's claims must at once. be abandoned,. Women of the present day are swayed by worldly mantives alone in choosing their husbands, and the nation that the gallant youth-handsomet, brave and honest-can win Iris way to a damsel's i earl better than the snug millionaire with the bald head and a house in . Grovesnor Square is as little consistent with the nineteenth century, as riding, a pillion or getting up at sunrise.
:
The attack shows a complete failure to grasp the realities of the question. In truth, women are less worldly than they were, instead of more, if anty hecause of the immense increase in their intellectual interests. The girls of || 1790 did not take the question of brains, which is also the question of bardom for life, into consideration. The girls of igo do. Of courac the satirist can, if he chooses, pick out s type of which we all know examples, and can so present a faithful portrait of a mercenary girl of the period. To give such instances, however, is to prove nothing. Though there are plenty of women who think only of money, it is absurd to describe worldliness as the salient characteristic of the daughters of the upper and upper-middle classes. The manner in which the belief has grown up that the ordinary woman thinks only of making a good match and getting herself well-provided with goods in, however, easy enough to understand,
In the abstract women's views about matri. mony are almost bound to centre in the question of money. It is all very well for a man who' has got an appointment or a profession to talk at large of thinking only of love in regard to marriage. Not one woman in a thousand can feel the sense of security that makes such form of contemplation possible. She has Reither money herself nor the power to make it
rich wives, but that is because there are so few heiresses. They do, however, what is much the same. In the abstract they regard marriage as impossible until they shall be in possession of an income capable of securing them the highest standard of life which obtains in the class to which they belong. This is their form of mercenariness, and unless we mistake they are inclined to persist in it with somewhat more resolutionthan their potential wives.-Spectator.
