Canton, 18th November. The foreign Consuls called at the residenco of the late Viceroy Tao Ma last Saturday.

FORTY LIZARDS TAILS AS MEDICINE! All, over China the Chinese refuse to believe in foreign medicines; they say that the climate and their manner of living are so different from Loss of foreigners, that the foreign medicine is too strong and does not wait their weak stomach; it might do more barm than good. So, as a rule, whenever a foreign doctor is called in to attend to the sick, Chinese medicine is takun Instead, the foreign doctor is toll that the patient as taken his medicins when it has been thrown away. It is said that while the late Viceroy Tao.

THE WATER SUPPLY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE “DAILY PRESS."

Hongkong, 38th November. Bix-May I presume to address you on the above, which is perhaps the most no. portant subject that can be submitted for alio discussion at the present moment? The recent sudden curtailment of our water- supply bas, it is needless to say, caused puck inconvenience amongst the poorer classen of the community, both Europeans and Chinese, And, strange as it may seem, although the reservoirs appear to be almost full,, in spile of the Water Authority's announcement "that the mains below the level of Caine Road would bo open daily from 6 to 10 o'clock u.m., very many streets in Chinatown are not able to precary a drop of water through their house service. Many having to pay for water, the quality of which is always anreliable, are already beginning to feel the pinch of this extra charge on their monthly salaries very severely, Houses in the Western District have even und their entire supply stopped, and now their lenauts have to obtain water from the street hydrants as their only souros. It will be at once seen that such a sudden change, with the increased cost of living, has caused consider able immediate distress simongst the inhabitants, It may not be generally known that at the time the present Water Bill was before the Legislative Council, during the third reading in August last, there was a feeling of great Roeasiness amongst the Chinese on neconat of the hardship which it was force would nessarily result. When the Bill passed into law, to occupiers of tenement houses it meant that all such hopses would have to rely entirely on the street hydrants for their supply. In consequeros of all the Messrs. Fung Wa Chin und Aluet Baajabu were stopiced by the Chinese Commercial Quion to instract Messrs Johnson, Stokes and Master and Dr. Ilo Kai

A letter signed by twenty-four Chinese hongs was sent to Mr. Richardson, head of Messrs.
