MONTE CARL), OF THE RAST,
Many residents in Hongkong will be surprised to hear that they have almost at their very doors one of the most beautiful and withal convenient tits of country that could be found on the China coast for the establishment of a
Datorlum. And this is on the
SLOPES OF TAIMOŠIJAN,... To the middle of our own New Teritory. Unfortunately for llemselves, most people in Hoogkoog have very julle knowledge of the New Territory. Tothom it is terra incognita. As they gaz across the Harbour waters they see only the sterile, frowning, jigged hills that domiuato Kowloon Peninsula and form from these their estimato libe land that hes behind, imagloing nothing of the smiling valleys and fruitful plains protected by that forbidding barrier.
It is now nearly ten yrais'ngo since the writer first stavelled across the New Tentory In company with a Government official who had spent much of bit luo in the public servite here. He was most-enthusiastic in his appraising of the value of this new British possession. Tadead it appeared to be almost ridiculous at that tinin to hear him dilate upon the great development which the future bad In store for this country, to hear him prophesy the coming of the railway (where the public highways were bridle paths)' and the sparning of water courses (where he bridges were rotten pine). Yet to-day we see the fulfilment of his roscale vision..
THE RAILWAY
may be almost said to be au accomplished fic. The Territory has been speed up with fine new roads, and streams have been sooned by modern bridges. But that which struck and mest forcibly in this official's forecast of the future was his belief als that a health resort for Hongkong resident would eventually be estáb lished in the New Territory. As time goes on the possibility of a sanatorium or bill settlement arising ou the heights of l'aimoshan appears to approach more nearly to realition, Taimosban is the highest peak in British Kow. loon. The view it commands of sea and plain. is unsurpassed foar loveliness. The railway pastor close to its base. Land is cheap for building lots. And the su rounding country with its villages will be found to be a veritable field of pleasurable surprises by the amateur explorer.
Any one who has bad experience of the delights of a sojourn at Forchow's summer refuge, Kulizog, at once appreciate the idea of a similar vergit being provided for Hopkong Un Kuliang heights there. Is Always a difference of ten degrees in the temperature as compared with Foschow, and blankets are

THE POPPY IN SZECHUAN,
Chongking, May 31, Rep:itt of great dimlaution in the quantity of opium under cultivation this year have been so wonderfully favourable, that I am sure there seed to correct a tendency to suppose that extirpation is all but an accomplished fact,
I was gravely told in more places then one when I was in Eugland two years ago that there was no more footbinding now in China; all women were enjoying' natural feet and the torturing of little girls with foot bandages was a thing of the past, Mrs. Little, I was told. had been successful to abolishing the horrible custom,
We all owe a great debi`of'gratitude to Mes Archibald Little for the extraudinary fervour, concentustion and ability with which she con. ducted her crusade, But no one who knows, least of gif Mrs. Little herself, would say that the custom of footbinding has been done away with,

It is a wall-altested fact that in Eaflera li s- chuan there, is still a considerable cultivation and trade in the poppy. The cultivation is of course, not is conspicuous situations, but mostly away from high roads, in one county, Fouchou, and that one of the largest, if not the largest, in the province, an obivat traveller would scarcely believe that prohibi- ion is the declared policy of the Government. There is an exception in this case to the sea crecy. On the hilly banks of the Upper Yang- tre I saw a month ago in this one county eight leaths of the cultivated slopes filled with the poppy, just comlog inte bloom (latter part of April). There was litle attempt at secrecy. about seventy iniles, the poppy in this year From banded of this large county to the other, spoiling the crops of mairs, beans, peas, wheat, and other coreals; and, what is worse, the poppy is again limiting, the cultivation of the than ever.
