People are now, of course, complaining that the cost of the necessaries of life in the Colmy is practically the samo as when the exchange value of the dollar was at 18. It is all very well for the consumer to demand reductions, but in comparatively for casex is it possibio for tradesmen to appreciably reduce their charges. It esp. of conne, be done on goods imparted directly from goldwing contrive, but tradesmon cannot afford to soll a ten-shilling article now at the sams figure they wore able to sell it at when the mchango value of the dollar last stued at 2. In the interval the dollar has been down to rents have gone up enormously in the Colony, and consequently salaries have had to go up to enable men to pay these inoreased rents. If the reader will ponder over the mattor ho will realise that a general increase in rents must inevitably land to higher salaries, and to pay those bigher salariós prices generally have had to beincreased.
Tuo whole question of "the cost of living" in Hongkong ratoires aronn the question of route--the rents, bear in mind not only of the resideal European population, bat the entire Chinese community as well. Building operations in the Colony have not kapt pace with the steady growth in population.

One day it would scab over, and thea crack open and a watery matter oaze from it and the scabs would all fall off. It would be raw for a time, then scab over again. Some one recommended Cuticura, and we immediately procured a box of Cuticura Ointment, and a cake of Cuticurs Soap.
