EXAMINATIONS: THE TABLES
TURNED.
The Monthly Review brings one aspect of the Education question into focus by print- ing a set of ideal examination papers- ideal, that is to say, from one point of view. The following extracts will give a fair idea of the principle on which this clever skit proceeds:
EXAMINATION PAPER FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

1. State briefly your qualifications for the post which you not hold in order of importance, giving dates where necessary.

Its Prospective Decline.
It may seem ridi ulous, in the eyes of the Bridge maniac, to speak lightly of the decline and fall of this admirable and fas. cinating game. Yet it will not last for ever, says 'E. H. L. W.' in the Pall Mall Garette, It may not be moribund as yet, but some day it will inevitably pass away before some victorious successor, and a few old fogies in an obscure corner of the card-room wil alone be left to abuse each other for impos- Games of skill pursue, sible declarations.
the world over, much the same course. At first, they attract the attention of that vast floating population that has attempted othor games and failed to hold its own. They fit eagerly to something new, as moths on a Aummer evening make headlong for the flare- of a candle. To bridge they came in their thousands - all who had tried the elder gamo, and found themselves edged out by superior talent. Whist had grown too difficult; there was too much to remember- too many conventional leads to be borne in mind to much recrimination for forget- fulness on the part of elderly and crusty partners. Bridge afforded an opportunity for a fair start-on equal terms. conventions were overthrown, and now ones had not arisen to take their place. That they would arise, sooner or later, was of course obvious enough. It is plain now that in a few years the new game will bo as fettered with these by-laws (generally the fruit of American inventiveness) as the old. Then the unskilful will once more be forced to new pastures, and bridge shall find its succPSSOT,
The old
The weak point in the game, some are beginning to say already, ties in the no trumps' declaration. · It was well enough in the early days, when players had not
yet discovered that it paid to declare no trumps, as a rule, with but a moderate hand.

Let us say that whenever an hon- nur is turned up by the dealer the rule should be for that hand to be played like a no trumps hand at bridge. I hereby give leave to all and sandry to play this game without fee or license, and to call it by any name they choose. There would, .of course, be no 'duinmy '—and this, I think, would add considerably to the interest of "playing a no-trump hand. At all events, when whist reasserts its ancient influence, let this variant lave a trial. It would be a pity not to preserve a feature or two of a game once co popular as bridge.

Collision with a Junk.
Ear y on Boxing Day morning as the French steamer Charles Tiberghien was coming up between Pootoy and Lamma Is- land she collided with a large fishing junk. The junk had no lights and disappeared immediately after the collision. It is pre- sumed that she went down with all hands as the captain of the steamer had a boat lowored at once, and cruised about the spot until 7 a.m. without seeing any sign of her or her crew.
Counterfeit Money.
The number of bad coins that are in circulation have caused the polico to watch for the offenders. Chinese Detective 365 was on duty on the Praya, and suspecting a Chinaman of having counterfeit coins in his possession he arrested him. When searched, fifteen twenty-cent pieces and eight ton-cent Kwangtung coins were found. At the Magistracy this morning, Mr T. Sercombe Smith imposed a penalty of two months' gaol, with three hours stocks.

A JUNK CAPSIZED.
Three Men Drowned.
An accident, which unfortunately result- ed in the loss of three lives, occurred on Dec, 26 at about 2 a.m. A jonk: used for mixing cement to build the Naval Extension yard wall was at anchor for the night just outside the yard. Ten Chinese were on board and all were asleep. The junk was loaded with stone and cement bags, and was low down in the water. Without the alightest warning the junk turned over on her side with the stern out of the water. Three of the non swam to the Extension Yard, and the watchman informed Mr Rider, a diver employed on the works, hastened to the aput, and, by cutting a hole in the top of the cabin, succeeded in roscuing four of the seven men imprisoned in the boat. The other threo wero drowned. Their bodies were subsequently recovered and taken over by the police. What caused the junk to turn over is a matter for conjecture, there was no wind and the sea leal smooth. The junk may have sprung a leak, or canted slightly and taken in water. The Water Police have charge of the affair.
