NEVER BE BALD.
SOLDIERS' AND SAILORS' LETTERS,
Privates in H.M. Army or Navy, Non- commissioned, Officers," Bandmasters, Army schoolmasters (not superintending or First Class) Writers or schoolmistresses may send half-ounce letters to the United Kingdom by mail at the rate of four cents (two-pence) each, which may be prepaid either in Imperial or in Hongkong Stamps. By private steamer the postage is two cents (one penny).
2.The same privileges apply to letters ad- dressed to the Privates and Non-commissioned Officers named above.
3-Private steamers leave Hongkong for Lon- don about every ten days.
4-The letters must not exceed half an ourice. No hankerchiefs, jewellery, &c., can be sent, eren. with with the ends open.
5-If from a soldier or sailor his class and description must be stated in full on the letter, the cover of which must be signed by the Com manding Officer, with name of regiment, ship, &c, in full. If to a soldier or sailer, his class and description, with name of regiment, ship, &c., must be stated in full.
5-Soldiers and Sailors have no privileges with regard to books or papers, nor can these be prepaid with Imperial stamps,
LETTER BOXES.
Many boxes of letters are received at the Post Office not scaled, that is to say, the box is fastened with scaling wax, but there fa no impression of a seat.
The attention of boxholders is called to the necessity of carefully sealing such boxes with some recognisable seal, and of sending a chit- book or receipt with them. The omission of the latter precaution leaves a doubt as to whether the contents of the box ever reached the Post Office: the omission of the former, as to whether part of them might not have been abstracted for the sake of the Postage stamps.

TEA MUSTENS.
Persons who send Musters of Tea through the Post in Tins are requested to have them made flat or square instead of round, as it is impossible to pack round tina securely in the mail bags. It is believed that the tea will travel more safely in flat tins, which are not so liable as round ones to be bulged in. 4 by 3 by rá leches is suggested as a good size. The tins should not have sharp comers.
