Christmas is approaching, and I am wondering how many of us will be dished out of our in ported plum puildings this year by the Exeins authorities. Quite a large Imsiness is done at Christmas time, I believe, in plum puddings imported from Home, but now that the Excise authorities have discovered that congh lozenges contain morphine, and that it is a punishable offence to import them unless they are labelled *morphia" and poison," the public must begin to wonder whether plum puddings will be held up at the King's warehouse because they are not labelled "brandy". Mr. Bowley, in one of his lotters made a reference to the achievements of the "Heaven Born," and after reading the ossa against Messrs. A. S. Watson & Co. at the Magistracy this week, I would not be surprised, if in the interests of Hengkeng's Children. Mr Bowley may not have to write yet another letter, to protest this time against the interference of the "Hoaren Bora" with the free import of "bull's-eyes" and "brandy balls."

Even local events in Hongkong are eclipsed by the absorbing interest with which the venis in China are being followed. Though the European population is not favoured with the - numerous sensational reports which are in cir. culation among the native population, some of these percolate through to foreign circles, and excitement is intense until the inevitable dental is forthcoming.

A dance which was to have been given by Lady Lugard at Government House on Satur. day night in order to introduce Mr. Barnes to the community was at once abandoned.

The Brenor, in a few introductory remarks, referred to 'China's need for men with Western learning and men of good character, and trusted that the Hongkong University with tho-co-operation of the hostels would supply hundreds of such men.
