ELECTRIC TRAMS.

In view of the coming tramway service for Hougkong, now under rapid progress, the doings in mattors electrical in Rangoon are porlaps of special interest. There, says a Rangoon solange, the tenderers for the franchies for the eleotris tramway for that city have boon forced to agres to pay a 'minimum tramway track rest of Rs. 3,000 per mile of double, and 11s. 2,00) per mile of single track por anate, and the saine journal, with all roupset to the Commissioners, rogards this as absurd and steh'ns will prove så « fair drain upon the receipts of electrio tramways in Rau goon. With the ten miles of Jouble track and threw miles of single track now contemplated, this would amount to Its. 36,000 par Mumum it the minimum figures. In Jaleinta, where there is a greater truck mileage, ennek greater scops for expansion, and a traffic far superior to any that can ever be hoped for in Rangoon, the total

STOCK IN THE NEW TERRITORY.

It has often bow observed by visitors in the Now Territory that the verdant-looking hill sides which meet the eye at every turn are bar. ren of both stock and coltivated growth. Why not stock the place with sheep? It is hardly possible that Southdowns or Cheviots would kland the climate, kui Australian sheep should be able to do ao, accustomed as they are te arid plains and torrential rainfalls. The Govern-

ment's acknowledged policy is to develop the country. Surely the raising of slook would be a good thing to start experimenting upon? In the same way, suggestions have been made for the introduction of rabbits into the Now

Territory. The objection is always made that sunkes, destroy them, but it is also said that the saakes are two-legged. However that may be trial in the way of introducing rabbits into the territory would not be for amis. The rod- ents could not do any damage to the young crops in the valleys mulas they developed the chyability of swimming among the flooded paddy-Golde.

"A MIRROR FOR FOOLS."

The daily nowspaper for women called the Daily Mirror has moved the Saturday Review to deal with it in an article which reminds one of some of the criticisms of the Saturday's old LAYA:-

(We are not LAHMEYER saying anything offensive: "advertizemant " is the word need in the old books, and they were literature, for the profana.)

But reflection cast by the paper itself has convinced un that the promoter had a very praiseworthy object. He wanted to help to a FOR solution of an old and vored question; should women have the suffrage? So ho provides at any rate a negative test, which will take us a considerable way. If this paper is a success, it will finally prove that women are hopelessly and irremediably unfit to be trusted with a voto. We cannot enfranchise a great host of fools.

A FIGHT THAT FAILED.

In the full expectation that a glorious battle, an ctioned by the authorities, was to take place on the Esplanade, the Chinamen of Singapore asanbled there in thousands on the 14th Inst., says the Straits Times. It was to be a sort of monster prize-fight, with broken hoads for trophies and damaged circases for luck. Tho two great tribes of Macae and Toochow were to fight for the standard, and the Eikh polico wore to keep order and prevent rival tribesmen joining in the fray. Nothing like it had been heard of since the days of the border battles, mad if there were not some vacancies in the coolie lists it would not be for lack of honest effort. The leaders were reported to be magnificent men- giants in their way Indeel, if all stories be Luo, they were of s nythological typo of beroes. The Macas man had vanquished alt his enemies on earth and was how sugaged in the sure and sortain hope of defeating the spirits of the air.
