He fairly opened out his shoulders over Evelyn Thaw's stomach and now he has hit lustily to leg with the world-shaking statement that an American jurywoman said she would hold her opinion "till Hell froze."

I am informed that formerly mitsai were common in most Porty- guese families of standing.. Very few young girls are employed as hired domestic servants, the Chu Lin (Nin) Mus or girl hired by the year, who has been suggested as a substitute for the muitsai, does not appear to be popular, but there are on the other hand a large number of boys between the ages of 12 and 14 employed in domestic work in Chinese households. 122 young girls were described as "Yuk Nui" a term which in most cases denotes the same statum.

The majority are uneducated, but in the Upper Levels where the better classes live, and the greatest propor- tion of muitsai are found, those able to read and write formed 9 per cent of the total. I estimate that abore the age of 19 there are only about
