In cities in Europe 1,000 people in an acre is all that is allowed, and the departure from that rule has been proved again to foster disease. Allowing for differences in habits and possibility of having dwelling houses practically open to the air during seven months in the year, the Commissioners cannot help believing that the surface crowding as it at present exists will seriously impair the health of all dwellers, but more especially the European dwellers, in the City of Victoria, Hongkong.
THE PLAGIARIST.
As the black sheep is to the ovine flock, the prodigal son to the carefully regulated family, the refractory soldier to the strictly disciplined atiny, or the mutinous saller to the well appointed ship, so is the Plagiarist to the noble family of cultivators of Letters. As an excrescence and a morbid development, the plagiarising parasite sticks to and is inseparable from the literary profession. He lives on the life-blood of his models; builds a house over hins from

admiration than there is why any other part of the "buman form divine" should not be admired. Sculptors and painters, ancient and modern, have never thought it necessary to cut the human body in twb at the waist in order to limit the raptures of the lovers of beauty to the upper part | THEATRE alone. They have recognized the artistic value of the lines of the lower limbs, and have immortalized themselves by reserving for later generations the men and women of their day in all their native majesty and beauty. It was reserved for a more degenerate age to hide the legs of their women beneath a mass of drapery which possesses no grace of outline or motion, and which, in many cases, does not even define the contour of the form beneath. This is, if nothing more, an outrage on art, and as such should be severely reprehended.
What is a pretty leg is a question which has been much agitated and discussed, chiefly, we are bound to say, by writers of the sterner sex. In legs, as in other things, fashions have varied, Tom Moore grew enthusiastic over
Light, lovely limbs, so which the spirit's play motion, airy as the chance spray.

It is the same young man, the same young woman, and the same legs; why, then, such a difference ? Can it be, in reason, that the little space between the beach and the hotel has power to make that a sin which was no sin ? to convert a modest, innocent girl into a brazca, shameless creature to alter the relations between the sexes so that a man who sces for an instant on the street what he has seen at will on the beach, is a monster and a villain ? If this be true, locality is a more potent force than philosophers have ever dreamed of, and the sins which have been laid to the charge of the devil, or any other all-pervading principle
evil, must now be shifted to the shoulders of the demon of locality. We must revise our code of morals and make the ethical quality of an action dependent not upon intent, but on the place where it occurs.

Precisely like the and out of the water or sun herself with all house-breaker, the plagiarist sells as his own the property he purloins, and it requires a great deal possible complacency on the beach, surrounded of perspicacity and discrimination on the part of the critics, who are the police of Literature, to detect and identify the stolen goods. There is, however, this difference between, the burglar and the plagiarist, and it only reveals the slow progress which society has so far made: the burglar is no sooner discovered than he is secured and punished; the plagiarist, even when he has swallowed a whole copyright. can dodge his pursuers, and generally comes off unscathed from the ordeal of the law. Particularly so the petty plagianist; this depredatory entity stalks along in his untiring career of literary plander with entire impunity. He can copy, alter, deface, or corrupt other people's productions, to suit his own requirements and his own perverted instinct of vanity Vanity an indomitable feeling in the plagiarist's breast; the would-be author is generally destitute of the faintest spark of genius; very often he has not even had a, liberal education; he may have read the Kiterary productions of the leaders, of men in the republle of letters but the perusal of such standard works, instead of revealing the abysses of his own ignorance, has invariably tickled his jealousy, and excited in his distorted an inordinate appetite for plunder Instead of working himself up to the high standard of literature which is placed before him, the plagiarist generally takes to the Satanic shift of assassinating his model and prostituting the remains to an unconscious world.
we have The plagiarist'a main-spring, as said, is vanity, or self-conceit of the peacock kind. He is gifted with another characteristic, -the racoethes scribendi. This is an insepar able predicate of itis; he cannot abake himself free from it; it is his day-dream and perpetual cauchemar. His distorted imagination has led him to believe himself a writer; he is sure he will, awake some fine morning and find Fame at his bedside. Unconscious of his intellectual emptiness and of the deficiency of his education, he knows nothing of the hard- ships which literary celebrities and even mediocre men have had to put up with before they dared to appear before the reading and discriminating world. Modesty, that inseparable companion of genius, is to him an unknown quantity. He feels as if he must write something or perish in the attempt, although he is both unprovided and
nature
There is but one possible explanation of this apparent anomaly, and that is the power of the tyrant which rules the world-custom. It is obvious that should custom so decree, our women would abbreviate their flowing robes and curtail their sweeping skirts, even until the patella itself should be hinted at, if not shown, in which case the mystery which now surrounds the dainty ankle and the swelling calf would be as legitimate subject of comment as pretty faces now are. Whether such a custom will ever come into ogue it is not possible even to guess, Feminine babiliments have been subject to changes quite
startling; and as a writer of distinction--a man, of course, and a Frenchman at that has asserted that every woman really believes in her inmost heart that she has pretty legs, it may be that in some future age of the world the sex

PRETTY LEGS.
The black stocking, of which much has been said in ancient times, has, says a writer in the San Francisco Chronicle, an esoteric meaning, Black stockings as such, have little to recom- mend them to a person of aesthetic tastes or true culture, for, remove them from that which is their natural concomitant, expose them in a hosier's window or hang them on a clothes-line, and they are less than nothing, the empty fabric of a baseless dream. They owe their importance, not like so many other material objects, to their aurround, and, like the oyster and the pearl, the contents are all that give the envelope a special
value.
All professions are healthy, as compared with trades. What men are longer lived than scien, tists, archæologists--there is no profession of archeology, but let that pass-lawyers, clergy- men, physicians, actors? In, some professions, notably the Bar, to which might be added the stage, the early training is said, in a serious banter, to kill off the weaklings. To some extent this is true of all profession. Men without self- control die, as a rule, young, whatever their occupations. In other cases, however, the conditions under which the classes named exist are the most favorable. The two things that most readily kill men who attain middie age are anxiety or loss of interest. The man who goes to bed not knowing whether a turn in the market may elevate him to wealth or stoop him in ruin, dies of softening of the brain. He who has made his fortune and retired, feels, unless he has cultivated a hobby, that he has no place in the world, and dies of loanition.
