Like other mortals, I have to recognise the advent of 1909, sad lost I should be deemed churlish or unsociable let me hoston to wish you all the compliments of the season. I won't bore you with any dissertations on the past or prognostications of the future, but I hope your mental stock-taking has not shown too many entries on the wrong side of the recording angel's diary and that you will keep all the good rosolutions you make.
Certainly Hongkong brought in the New Year right royally, trackers and bombe and rockets greeted the infant 1909 with an enthusiasm more marked than that which greeted its immediate predecessors, and, of course, the Scotsmen who went forth first footing did not go empty handed. It is to be hoped they brought good luck to all whom they visited.
Apropos of nesting at the birth of the New Year, the minister of Union Church yesterday related an incident which may be amusing, or otherwise, according to the point of view. The watch night service on New Year's Eve had just concluded and the pastor wont down from the pulpit to exchange greetings with members of the congregation. Going up to one stranger he held out his hand and was surprised to find it touch a whisky battle which the man was endeavouring to concool. Evidently his ideas as to bringing in the new year were a bit confused.
I suppose most people hero liave been struck by the number of new years that are celebrated in this part of the world. The Jews have their New Year about September, and not long after- wards the Parsees celebrate theirs. Then we have our own Xmas, which in itself marks the dawn of a new era, followed by our own New Year, The Mohammedans are the next to celebrate, and, of course, we all know when Chinese New Your falls. We should be a fostive community with all these celebrations to
honour..
Another amateur dramatic performance claims our attention and patronage. The Kowloon Dock Amateurs produce "The Silver King" next Saturday and Monday, and, if they do as well as they did with "Rob Roy" they will earn hearty congratulations. I am told that the play will be better moanted than it was when the professionals played it three weeks ago. Good luck to them!

China is not so far behind as some people would think. Feminism is, as we know, very acute at home, so its outbreaks are occasionally somewhat painful. Whether China has a Suffragette problem I know not, but feminism has, according to a Paris journal, developed to an extraordinary degree, and in most birge centres there is a newspaper run by women. But I did not know until a day or two ago that Chins was blessed with a Lady Journalist. But I learn from the Source indicated that China has crowds of am.

The "alarms" Mr. Lovott has collected from these sources consist in great measure of teeth and claws and hair of wild animals, and it is onxious to note that there is a marvellous resem- blance between them, whether picked up in London or Naples, Paris or Amsterdam, showing that the human mind at a certain stage of evolution seeks protection from sickness and evils in similar ways, irrespective of geographic surroundings. Thus, in London, as in Rome and Naples, the carroll teeth of the boat aro considered very powerful amuleta, as also tho canine teath of carnivorous animals. In Naples to the hair and feet of the badgar are supposed possess great protective power from the attacks of wild animals, and the same idea has been found by Mr. Lovett to exist in Somerset- ahire, while on the South Downs the feet of moles are still regarded as a certain eure for oramp, if carried in a little silkon bag next to the skin.
