made to the desirability or otherwise of clearing a house of its furniture by dumping it out of the window; and the Medical Officer of Health has publicly scated that such clearances are made by way of the door. Whether less harsh and more considerate modes of pro- cedure could be adopted than those which obtain a present, is a question which, with ear present information; we The are unable to settle. One thing appears to be clear enough, and that is, that many of the women and children have loft and are leaving the Colony. Ev ciently the reason for this is to be found, not in my dread of plugue, but fear of the house-cleaners. It must be freely conceded that the struggle between dirt and the cleansing authorities will neces- sarily prove to be a hard one. The Chinese regard dirt and warmth with a kindly eye, and every drastic ut- teopt to force cleauliness upon then will either be resisted passively, or Braided by hurried departure. As wa 277 Love Linted, it is not perhaps necessary to bring any charge of want of conside- ration against the sanitary authorities; Hlutatiöe same time the dread which the 633 Chinese feel at the town with the nomestic hearths ought to be respected to the fullest extent consistent with efficient sanitation. Many of the Chfume are now faily convinced of the sdundaess of the white-washing and 184 cleansing system, of sanitation. Some
