THE USE OF WATER AT MEALS.
Opinions differ as to the effect of the free ingestion of water at meal times, but the view most generally received is probably that it dilutes the gastric juice and so retards digestion. Apart from the fact that a moderate delay in the process is by no means a disadvantage, as Sir William Robens has shown in his explana- tion of the popularity of tea and coffee, it is more than doubtful whether any such effect is in reality produced. When ingested during meals water may do good by washing out the digested, food and exposing the undigested part more thoroughly to the action of the digestive ferments, Pepsin is a catalyptic body, and given quantity will work almost indefinitely provided the pepstones are removed as they are formed. The good effects of water, drink freely before meals, has, however, another beneficial result- it washes away the mucus which is secreted by the mucous membrane during the intervals of repose, and favors peristalsis of the whole alimentary tract... The membrane thus cleansed

It is interesting to note that a large proportion of the arrivals in the colony were already British subjects, or had availed themselves of the privilege which the Act gives to those who wert resident here before its passings of leaving the colony for nine months ausi returning without paying a second poll-tax. In 1886 out of 309: arrivals no less than 1808 did not pay the poll. tax, being either naturalised British subjects, or clae.on leave. Under the Restriction Act of 1881, all Chinese, who were, resident in the colony before the passing of the Act nre entitled to obtain a certificate of exemption from the provisions of the Act for nine months, and these certificates are issued by the Collectors of Customs, but inasmuch as it is impossible to prove with any certainty the length of time which a Chinaman has passed in the colony, practically all Chinese residents are enabled to obtain these exemptions. The age, height, and other particulars of the man obtaining the certificate are entered on it, as well as on the duplicate kept at the Custom-house, in order to avoid the fraudulent transference of the papers, about which we sometimes hear exaggerated reports. The greatest safeguard and most efficient means of detection is the ability of the applicant to speak English, which in the case of emigrants is generally the case, most of them having resided for some years in the colony speaking our tongue pretty fairly. Each man's qualification in this respect is entered on the certificate, but somehow or other it occasionally happens that John, during bis absence in his native land, has unaccountably forgotten all his English, and can only respond to the questions invariably put, no saver," a time protects it from the action of the gastric Whether it is the same John returned, or another. ferments, and so retards digestion.

D
THE CHINESE IN AUSTRALIA.
For many years past, says a writer in the Sydney Morning Herald the question of how to deal with the Chinere portion of our population has been one of deep interest to all concerned.in the welfare of these colonies, who see that the addition of any large proportion of Mongolians to our population is incompatible with the main tenance of a satisfactory standard of civilisation. The difficulty is so new one, and here, as in many other lands where the same trouble has arisen, various methods of relief have been tried, all of which, however, may be said to be merely tentative, and to only touch the fringe of this import nr problem. On the Pacific slopes, the population, less law abiding and more vigorously independent than our own, are not in the habit utaiting for legislative interference, but whenever the Chinamen become obtrusively numerous, take measures of theirown which lead the Mongolians to perceive at once the advisa- bility of going; here of course such measures are out of the question, and their adoption would be anything but desirable.
"The Chinese must go" has long been the cry in California, and the echo of this cry has at length reached us in Australia, and day by day appears to be taking a firmer oot in the hearts of the people. Just now the question has been brought prominently to apply for it to a certificate of naturalisation, and since the passing of the Restriction Act the
