THE CHINESE IN MALAYA..

It was the patient, plodding, un- imaginative, but very matter-of-fact Chinaman, says the Maloy Mail, who first laid the foundations of the material prosperity of Malaya by slicing for tin in the alluvial, valleys and along the hillsides of the Peninsula And to-day we see him coming into the F.M.8. în ever increasing numbers with the same object principally in view, the winning of tin and the gathering together of sufficient of this world's gear to enable him to return at som indefinite time or other to the land of his forofathers. Of course he also follows many other occupa- tions, but it is principally us a miner and a general alamrer that we consider him. The acting British Resident, Mr. 1. Broadrick, in his Report on Selangor for 1911, tells us that the num ber of Chinese who entered the State by sea during that year were returned as 46,598, an increase of 14,700 on the previous year, while the

emigrants amounted to 21,512, an increase of 2,487. The last census showed that there were 150,90% Chinese in Selangor, while a satisfactory feature is the. increasing number of females. Of the 56,073 per- sony engaged in mining in the State 55,087 were Chinese. As a rule the Chinaman isa pracenble, law-biding erenture, ask- ing merely to be let alone to pursue in. peace the even tenor of his way. He is not interrated in the politics of the world at large: his own concerns absorb mast of his energies, nontal or physical, and if he gets into trouble it is generally because of some falling-out with a com- patriot or because he has become a victim of the machinations of some secret society or other, for which he has a national penchant Yet, this outwithstanding, the Protector of Chinese and his staff have a fair amount of work to get through in the course of the year. Twenty-seven Chinese, for instanco, had in 1911 to be banished from Selangor, among them being the three headnien of an illegal society discovered at Klang; then a

institution styled the Chinese Young Men's Christian Association, which had become a centre for preaching the doc trine of assassination in connection with the Chinese revolutionary propaganda, was dissolved and action had also to be taken in regard to several so-called schools instituted with the same object." Again we rend: An attempt by the jinrikisha owners and pullers of Kinng to establish a secret urganisation in that town in order to monopolise the business was chocked by the action of the Pro- tactor of Chinese and District officer.'

A WONDERFUL VOYAGE.

While the great steel-built liner, with her fifty thousand tons, her tramping engines, her wireless telegraphy, may come to utter disaster, as we have recently had aniserable reason to know, a little cockle-shell of a keteli, no bigger than the carave) of Columbus, and built a hundred yoars ago, has accomplished a voyage of 6,000 miles in safety. The Seal, of 33 tons. register, has arrived at Durban after a voyage of 144 days from Bideford Quay. Commanded by the Norseman who bought her, as the Norse buy so many discarded British vessels and run them at a profit.. and manned, in part at least, by these "men of Bideford in Devon," whose fore- fathers sailed with Drake in the Golden Hind, the stout little ship faced, fought, and conquered the fury of the Atlantic and the rollers of the Agulhus. Given sca-roons, there is nothing in the ocean which a stout ship, manned by stout hearts, cannot face. Good British onk and elm, with Indian teak, are the materiale of which she is built, and there are none which better resist the assaults of time. The Seal is now the oldest vessel upon Lloyd's Register; but it is not many, years since there was one still plying the coastwise trade between London and New- castle which dated from the reign of Queen Anne. The true romance of the sen is the story of what man has done in little ships. The Seal, unperturbed by her buffeting, is now about to go to take the sea-lion in the South Indian Ocean. We wish her "good.hunting."--~Frill Mall Cazette.

THE AGE OF MIRACLES.

The Daily Graphic of the oth`ult,, says ---

Two events are chronicled to-day which only a few years age would have been regarded as so miraculous as to be incredible. Yesterday, in the gardens of Buckingham Palace, a demonstration was made before Queen Mary, to prove that it is possible to carry on conversation through the air without any material link, although the speakers are so far apart as to be quite out of hearing of one another. That is just the kind of tale that used to thrill us when, as boys,. we read the "Arabian Nights.” To-day we think little of the marvel because we are told that it is merely the natural development of an earlier marvel-wire. less telegraphy. The other miracle chronicled is a series of fights in the newest type of human conveyance, the hydro-aeroplane. It suffices to mention two. Commander Samson flew right round the coasts of Kent and Sussex from Shecrucss to Portsmonth, accomplishing a journey of 194 miles in three and a half hours, and then gracefully alighting on the water like a seagull resting after its flight. Lieutenant Spenser Gray was in one respect loss successful, for his journey was interrupted by some damage to his engine; but he achieved the almost greater triumph of demonstrating that he could repair the damage while the hydro-aeroplane was riding on the waves. In the nineteenth century we all thought that man had almost completely con- quered nature; the twentieth century is teaching us that the conquest is only beginning.

A HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY.

IN the best regulated families the hitle ills of life will creep in. Some member of the family eircle may occasionally suffer from Biliousness and Indigestion, and one or the other will from time to time exhibit the well-known symptoms of Constipation. From these little troubles morc serious complaints arise, and should therefore not be neglected. The slight headache, bad breath, -and-a-discoloured tongue are the index-tha-disordered stomach; and the necessity of keeping a safe, sure, and reliablo remedy in the house is apparent. By following such a course the more expensive method of calling in a doctor will be found quite unnecessary. That Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are the very best Family Medicine is-vouched for by thousands of grateful men and women who speak from personal experience..

Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are not simply a purgative medicine which forces the food out of the body, depriving the stomach of its nourishment and thus starving the system. They contain the essential properties that are temporarily lacking in the stomach through weakness, and complete the digestion and assimilation, and so restore the functions of the digestive organs by obtaining the maximum of nutriment-from-the-food-which sustains the body and assures good health.

Dr. Mouse's INDIAN ROOT PILLS are an effcicnt, reliable, and safe remedy placed on the market at a price' within the rench of all. The Pills being sugar-coated, are pleasant to take, and retain their full medicinal properties. They are puclad in amber-coloured bottles-not in cheap wooden or pasteboard boxes--and are thus always fresh and clean, impervious to moisture, unalfected by climatic conditions, and do not deteriorate by keeping as all liquid medicines do.

Theyare a perfect Blood Purifier and

a positive and per- minent cure for Eliousness, Indi- gestion, Constipa tinn, Headaches, Sillow Complexion, Liver and Kidney Troubles. Pilcs, Pimples, Hoils and Blotches, and for Female Ailments.".
