THE NEW TERRITORIES,
POLICE REPORT FOR 1925.
-
Mr. G. N. Dime, Assistant Superintendent of Police in the New Territaries, writes in his report for the past year as follows:-
During the year 1995 there was not a large | amount of serious crime in the New. Territory and it was chiefly senutkab.e for its equal dis- tribution throughout the year, of which the early part produced lower robberies thin the
and the period before and after Chinese New Year was' Lee from the robberies by which it is usually characterised. The north west borders ofthe Territorý (previous to the erection
of the block-house mentioned below) and the
south of Mirs Hay with the Island of Ping Chau, again suffered most from these depreda trees; however, the last successful raid u-on Ping Chau Island induced the islanders to obtain permission to form a guard, which has repulsed a subsequent attempt at robbery. It is to be hapud that a stovifar spirit of enter prise may in future animate other parts of the Territory. As usṭal, the large majority of the minor offences were contraventions of the Opium Ordinance; larcenies have been of rare hccttrrence and it is noticeable iliat debis ure seldoni denied or disputed, which greatly facili tates the administration of justice. What was
formerly the most exposed part of the Territory
is now well protected by the block-house at the Ta Ku Ling.on the north of the Sheung Shui District. This was conmicaced on January 27th, at which date one Indiin sergeant and four Indian constables (of whamtwa Constables were
detailed from Sheung Shui and the others from the Central) were accommodated in tents close by, until they moved into the quarters in March. The block-house is connected by selephone with Sheung Shui and Sha Tau Kok and has pro ed of inestimable value. The past year has been distinguished in the New Territory by two excellent crops of rice, and by appearances of increased prosperity throughout most districts, shown in the construction of new houses and in constant demand for theatrical performances;
but I regret that this has not led to an increased readiness to pay jen!, The redemption of land for the new road led to prompter payments by the districts concerned, and it is pleasant to port that the poster districts of Sai Kung and na Tau Kok have paid without pressure, bot the south-western districts of Tsin Wan and Tai Lam Chung have paid nothing and owing to their distance from the police stations it is difficult to collect these rents. Nor his much success attended the arrangements made with certain elders for the maintenence of certain roads in the Territory. Throughout the year

An instance of what faith can do, however, came to the knowledge of the police authorities the other day, quite in a round about fashion.

deed there was not much the matter with the young Celestial beyond a few bruises, a skinned ankle and a feeling of soreness all over. But the fright it had received seat it into a paroxysm of lerror.. Now a real fright is as bad as a tap on the lead from a life-pre- server. The mother of the child happened to be what is known in the West as a bit of a quack--she had an extensive and peculiar experience of native medicinal remedies. The only thing to cure fright, according to her lexicon, is water in which silver and gold have been mixed. It sounds like alchemy, but it is good juss. She borrowed a gold earring and procured a piece of unalloyed silver; these anicles were placed in a panful of water which was brought to boiling point. Then the water was drained off, and when coul administered 10 man fauure enfant. The child recovered from its fright immediately. It sat up and crowed with delight. It clamoured for more of the "mixture." It was as happy as A sand bay. Now the question What cured the child af its frigh? Did the cure cate the fright, or the fright frighten the cure into a cure? Of course, the Chinese have inany calranidinary

MEN AND MANNERS IN SAN FRANCISCO.
One cannot imagine San Francisco in moùru;. ing, much less in ruins. It was always such a gay, cireless, epicurian city, reprehensible in any of its ways, but, none the less, terribly fascinating. Essentially a beautiful city, not for its architecture, but for its surroundings, and, perhaps, also for the halo of romante which seemed to cling to it; for, even safer its in tensely modern aspect, one could always find hint of the old Spanish capi.at and more than a hint of the wild, hard-drinking, itvolver.. shooting frontier town which Bret Harte im mortalised.
THE JOY OF LIFE. Market-st., Prisco, was one of the sights of the world. Nowhere in America could you see such a stream of cosmopolitan, humanity The four lines of street cats, fingling along in seemingly endless succession, the innumerable heavy drays, the jostling throngs on the de walks, and, above all, the Blinking, giring electric signs, the thousands upon ousands of lights, combined to give i an air of restless vigor.

Some idea of the commotion that has been cussed my be gathered from the fact that between the years 1867 and 6,01 more than 700,000 divorces were granted in the United States (proportionately, about 10,000 times more than in Canada), and that large numbers teristic of the country. of these were obtained with the ease charac

STEADY DECLINE IN MARRIAGE,
THE WANING FASCINATION OF THE WIDOW.
GIRL'S CHANCES OF WEDLOCK.
Not only is marriage decreasing in England, but those who have once been married show an increasing reluctance--when they have tha opportunity to marry again.
The he, Istrar General's report or yogizes elaborated enteulations on the subject. Ile har
attempted to estimate the marriage rate on a
sounder basis than on that of the total
population. He takes 15 as the minimum age of marriage, and works out percentages of actual marriages among the sumarried and widowed population above that age.
The result is alarming. The new method shows a fall in the inarriage rate of 19 per cent. in the past thirty-five years. In 1871 54 per cent. of the population were married; in 1921 only 51.5 per cent.
ARB THE WIDOWED LONGER LIYEDİ The decreased fascination of the widow will be a sad blow to the humorist if he is to be true to life in fature. While the mean annual marriage rate per 1,000 of widows was 21. in 870-3, it was only 12.5 in 1994, a much greater decrease than in the case, of the spinster, whose figures were 63 nd 50.9.
The widower is equally shy, fur the rate has falles since 1870 from 65'8 to 38, while the bachelors' figures are 667 and 52.8%
In every 4,000 inarriages in 1870-2 8'3 we're those of bachelors, 137, of widowers, 903 spinsters,, and 97, widows.
