Our asylums are fairly full, and some little anxiety has been cocasioned by the figures present- ed to us. But, in spite of that anxiety, very little has been done. Many reasons have been sought. by doctors, olergy and those inter- ested in the social state of their fellows.

Corporal Punishmeat in China. We have frequently remarked on the tendency the Government of Chips is showing to revert more atd more to the old forms and methods that have behind them the sanction of centuries, but every week seems to bring some BEW example of this phenomenon, and it is becoming impossible to guess at what point it will terminate. The latest instance will certainly be regarded with approval by the vast majority of Europeans resident in Chine, and especially those in Shanghai, though we donbt whether the Chirase who will be affected by it will welcome it as a beneficent reform. When the Manchu Gov-" ernment started on its judicial reform programme, one of the first steps was the qlliotal abolition of torture and of corporal punish ment. It is agneo:ssary to ask toʻ what extent this regulation w88 observed in the remote corners of the land where there was no fear of diacovery; it was indeed but another example of the Chinese practice of making rules which they do not observe themselves but which they will always quote, against a foreigner 28 s reason for not doing what he wishes,
