DOW settle down to vigorating pastimes and exhilarating erclans, free from the maddening in- facece of the summer heat. The only pity is that in Hongkong there is neither snow nor frost to Impress upon us some of the real joys of winter bat ao enterprising griffin cid not let this mere detail como in his way and wreta home a letter in which he expatiated at some length on the beauty of snowflakes falling among trees as viewed from the Peak tram. Of course, it is in most caso quite safa to stretch a poist or two in these matters as far as the folks at home are concerned but if by any chance an old China baad comes across the startling discoveries made by our imaginativa coiraspondent—well, wall, it is difficult to fore- see what the probable result will be.
THE INTERPORT SHOOT.
Shanghai seems to adhere with bull-dog tenacity to its decision that it must year in and year out be fustalled in fall glory la the matter of the laserpost Shooting Match Hongkong again fared badly as account of unfavourable weather but Singapore with great wisdom post- poned its match for the same causes. At may rate the Hongkong team can console itself with the fact that it has improved upon its previous performance. "Botter luck next. ilme!"
ADVICE TO GIRLS
There was some sound advice given by Lady Lugard, to the pupils of the Diocesan Girls' School the other day. Apparently, her Lady- ship's capabilities as a hostess are not ex ceeded by her powĝis as a public speaker. It is this art of potijng oneself entirely on one side and throwlog oneself heart and soul juto one's environment that at once lovesis a person with a personality all his own and it is to be hoped that the girls to whom the words were addressed hava taken the well meant ad vice to heart...
A PECULIAR DECISION. Rejah Brooke of Sarawak has decided to im- pose a penalty of fifty dollars an acre for each acra of rubber tree plantations sold or trang. ferred to a white man. The notification appears In a Government Gazello issued for the purpose. The object of the Government, it is stated, is to develop the cultivation of'ike land for the inhab cante lo order that they may have the profits, and beneat in the possession of such gardens as au iuboritance or pasaka to their descend- ants-and this object would not be achieved or realised unless the plantations were pa tected and strictly prohibited from falling into the hands of the richer and more speculative class of the white races. It is also stated that the order is issued with the object of praving on a fature day what the absoluta nod booa fide value may be reduced to whos planted by the pativa races, the real workers of the soil, without the extraneous and surrou.ding in faences connected with companies floated by promoters and supported by shareholders. This tender solicitude on the part of Rajah. Brooke for his subjects is well wonhy of emulation. The only plty is that his action has raised a storm of
protest 品味
the European community, who contend that the policy pursued by the Rajah is not very loyal to the white man's laterosis. One of the aggrieved parties actually went to the length of declaring that Sarawak is a country. where the Rojakes a law in a day and secures to per cent. lof himself I
MONOPOLISED CARROTS.
Journalistic & monities svidently differ in Japan from those prevailing here. Fancy this appearing in a Hongkong unwspaper :—" lo "the-name-of-the-Prophet-figs 1" cries the Oriental fruit-seller as he carries his load through the crowded Eastero directs. "In the name" of the Japanese Monopoly Bureau- carrots!" We may expect to hear that any time, remarks the /pin_Chronicle. We read that In the office of the Governor-General of Koron there has been established a monopoly burean to take charge of the monopolise i carrots." What those inoffensive, vegetables have dona to be monopolised we do not know; a fear bat been expressed that the authorities were about to establish a salt and tobacco monopoly as wall," but according to the declaration of a certain authority concerned," there is no inten. tlou la official circles to effect the "monopolisa tion of any works other than the carrots." What all this monopolisation of the humble and harmless carrot is expected or intended to effect we have not the remotest idea. Perhaps some friendly astrologer, will be able to en lighten us on the maller.

The following Ministerial effalon is not in tended-a-fizcilea pa the young men of Hongkong. The speaker was the Rev. Dr. Hamphill when addressing the seventh Church of Ireland Conference at belfast, and the ad- dress was evidently given in a moment of Inspiration. The Rev. Doctor, was surprised at ibe strange reluctance of their young people to get married. What bad come over their young men that they preferred patent leather boots and spats, and a fortaigh's swelling about at a watering place, and a game of til llarda every evening at the clab to the delights of family life?

The Ewa Godowo, a spacious building, the ground floor of which had been provided with rows of chairs for the occasion, is in North Soochow Road, between Kanuuh and Chektang Roads, and faces the Creek.

WIELDERS CF UNLIMITED INFLUENCE AT PEKING COURT,
According to a private fotelligence from Peking, the Prince Regent is now inclined to listen to the demands of the people to hasten the opening of the National Assembly, says a wikter in the afainichi Dempo. But the convo king of much assembly being confounded by many as a sly zal for the overthrow of the Man che authority, very strong opposition axists against "anything calculated to enhance the power and influence of the real Chinese or anti« Chinesa elamants, and such opposition, of course, exists among the Court officials and especially among the osnuchs who wield un- limited influence over Court ladies. There are two classes of cúnuchs who can be distinguish- ed by their voice. Une class has a female tone and is more of a kindead to the fair sóx than to their proper kind. The other class consists of those who are perfectly masculine not only in their tone but in every other respect, except... their peculiar dress. Those belonging to that class are numerically inferior to the other, but in exercising their influence over the Court ladies they are unrivalled by anybody,
It must also be remembered that in the

The Empress 14 Dowager is always a source of great power and authority, and even if the proyes to be a quita harmless fads, her sumosadings headed by the male-toned enpuch always miunge to maintain the power necessary to lim the actions of those who are conducting the actual Govern. ment.
