One hundred per cent. of all men Imprisoned in the various correctional institutions throughout England and America are known to have made a daily habit of eating bread. Some of them admitted having had the habit so bad that they would not hesitate to steal rather than go a week without it.

In China the excuse for crime in many cases is rice! A ricsha coole steals a tyre and when called to judgment his excuse is in most instances that he stole it to get money to buy rice! Why did the answer is invariably the same:

One of the features of the celebra tions was the splendidly decorated tramcar of the Hongkong Tramway Company. On the front and sides was the word Peace in prominent lettering. The tram was mass of artistic colours with a Crown in the centre of "G. R." and "God Save The King" in front. On the sides were the names Beatty, Sims Abruzzi and Ronarch.

The Entrance doors were dressed with greenery and Red, White and Blue bunting. Lanterns were plentiful in every verandah. The whole were surmounted by a large Electric Crown 3 ft. high at the corner of Hankow and Haiphong Roads giving a very pretty effect.
