At first it seemed at if the attendanca would not be as large an expentel, but this year Mr. Williams said the number touched 60, while 55 were actually March. At but rate of progress they had every present during

The Klcon hond was to specialise the education of girls and Victoria Echool the education of boys, which the speaker considered the most satisfactory arrangement, because the education of boys must be somewhat different.

The first annual meeting of the Hongkong Horticultural Society was held last evening at the City Hall. The Chief Justion (Sir Franois Piggott) presided, and among those prosent were-Mrs. Turner, Misa E. M. Bowley, Hon. Mr. E. Osborne, Messrs. L. Gibbs (secretary and treasurer), S. T. Dunn, J. Barton, A. Carter, F. Howell, J. T. Cotton and Choa Lap-choc.

The PASIDENT was sorry to see such a small attendance. He said the thanks of the Soainty were in a large measure due to the generosity of Sir Phil Chater and a small committee of his friends who had subscribed the sum of $2,000 to the guarantee fund. Their financial situation was very flourishing, as they had a balance to curry forward of $1,623. A small memorandam drawn up pointed out that although the flower show was an unmistakeable saccess there was still a great deal to be done. The first point be was anxions to raise was the porosity

WONDERFUL CURE

OF SORE HANDS

After Most Awful Suffering Ever Ex- perienced Eight Doctors and Many Remedies Failed to Do a Cent's Worth of Good,

"I was troubled with sore hande, so sore that when I would put them in water the pain would nearly set me crazy, the skin would peel off and the feah get hard and break, with blood flowing from at least fifty places on cach hand. Words could never tell the anf- fering I endured for three years. I tried eight different doctors, but none did ma any good, as my hande were as bad na when I began. I also tried many reme dies, but none of them ever did we one eent's worth of good. I was discouraged and heart-sore: 1 would feel so bad mornings, to think I had to go to work and stand the pain for ten hours, I often felt like giving up my position. I would have to wrap every finger up separately, so as to try and keep them soft, and then wear gloves over the rage to keep the grease from getting on my work, I had to wear gloves at night; in fact, all the time. But thanks to Caticnta, that is all over now. After doctoring for throw years, and spending much money, a single box of Cuticura Ointment ended all my anfferings. It's been two years since I used any, and I don't know what sore hands are now, and never lost a day'a work while asing Cuticurs, --- Thomas A. Clancy, 310 North Montgomery St, Trenton, N. J."
