THE COLONIAL SERVICE.

WHAT PRICE ALVES }

To Tas Enron OF THE "Hoжakona TeleaRÁPU."- DEAR SIR-Permit me to ask whether it is true, as reported, that the Portuguese, Alves, was receiving $150 a month in the Treasury at the time he ran away, as if in I think it's crying shame that such rand billets skonid ba given to allcos, who cannot be trusted, when there are dozens of honest and deserving men of our own nationality slaving away for half that, or less old soldiers and sailors, ex-policemen, and other who haveservedtheir Quern and country faithfully for the best part of their lives at wages that gave them li-tle chance of saving, and who now would be glad to get clerkships or places of trust for even a good deal less than $100 a month to keep them from starving, and who could be trusted, which is more than anyone can say of either Chlaese. or Portuguese, especially of the Alves type !

Why should not white men of gord Character have a chance to be tried on their merits in a British colony?

Yours sincerely,

A. BRITISH SUBJECT. Hongkong, February 6th, 1893e [According to the Colonial Estimates for 1893, the First Clerk, and Cashier in the Treasury, the acting appointment held by the vanished one above referred to, received a salary of Sagos por annum and a personal allowance of $960-in all, $295 per month. The post of Second Clerk and Accountant, which Alves beid for many years, curried with it, for salary and allowance, $204 për month. Our come- spondert's suggestion as to the employment of British boro subjects in ali positions of trust in

the Hongkong Government service has frequently been advocated in these columns and we consider it well worthy, especially in view of recent events, of the serious considera. tion of the Governor and the Legislative Council-Ed, Hongkong Telegraph.]

SHELL-WORK IN THE EAST.

Nothing goes to waste in the Extreme Orient, Life is too cheap and the struggle for existence too firrce, Everything, no matter how humble, is utilized in some way or another. Thus for example nearly every form of shell-fish is used for food. After the extraction of the living organism the shells are not thrown away as in the Western world. Some are reserved for the hatten maker; others for the jeweller, some for the cabinet-maker and others for the glue boller. At least a dozen industries are supported by what we would call the refuse of shells. When these Industries have exhausted the raw material, what remains is sold to the lime-kila and the kitchen-gardener. There are few, if any shell- mounds in the Flowery Empire."

|

One faintly of univalves (the Strombus) la used for making fiab-horos, toy-trumpets, war horns and the like. The animal is extracted. and sold in the market. The shell is boiled, scraped and dried and the minor apex or spindle cut off at în obtuse angle with the axis of the warped surface. The resultant shape is a soccess so far as the production of noise Is concerned. As a musical fostrument li is a dire ́ faflure. The toy-trumpets emit a squeak which may please the juvelle ear, but not agy other. The fish-born is on a par with the tin monstrosities with which Christmas is celebrated. The warhorns, heavy and awkward, give a hollow roar more like the bellow of a stray call than call to glory, All of these implements of dissonance are durable and chexp. You will see fish korns which have been used by father, son and grandson until the rough exterior has been polished by the years of handling into a pearly enamel, In the country districts, the farmer's wife uses it to call her husband home, and the berdaman to attract a gering or straying charge. In ancient times the itell war horns were in common use. Military progress has replaced them with brass, especially on the coast, In the far interlar they are still employed.

Another and logentous way of using shells is luttons, sleeve-links-and hair-pin heads. For this purpose a small shell is employed, ranging from a quarter.inch to an inch in diameter. It is cleaned and rallshed and half filled with molten solder. Before the metal cools, a wire loop or hair-pin is inserted in the middle of the molten mass. The loop becomes the shank of te buton, which is strong, seat and very attractive. The shells employed are all mem- bers of the Cypres family, the most common being the Cowry or Cyprea Moneta. The cost of the buttons ranges from 20 to go cents a dozen, Sometimes the wire loops are of allver, when the figures are of course considerably higher.

More ingenious are the shell caps, saucers and spoons made from the larger types of tropical univalve shells. The finest specimens came from the Southern Philippines, and the next from Borace, bat gord ones are found in the Pescadores and Formona. It would seem as If the original ides wan Malay and that the ather races of the Orient were merely im- itators. In making caps and sancers, the concha are sawed through in about the same manner as 'cocoanuts when intended for dippers. They are cleaned and polished, and the convex surface ground slightly so as to test on a table without spilling or tiling. The spoons are made by sawing the round superior surface of the coach at such an angle as to partially intersect the spindle or major axis. This becomes the bandle of the completed spoon. According to the size of

silk that is very pleasing. The best effect is when they are newed closely together in double lines upon a vest or waist, when they seem to be a fine and brilliant stripe. A queer way of setting both cais-eyes and onyx balla is practiced by the Chinese and consists in alternating them with small carved fruit-stones. It is rather attractive as an oddity, but the lack of color deprives it of any aesthetic value.

Mr. Hü, not know- ing them nor their object, supposed they wers seeking help from him, o addressed them saying "I presume you are abruptly here asking for side?" The young man onswered "No, sir, we have come to return you our rico pass-book for 12 years and more WO have received this kind help from you, and my mother has thus been preserved. I am now able to support her myself, and I do not wish to imapore on Lan-yiz's kindness further, I have moreover brought with me $ia which I wish to hand over to you, sir, and although it will never pay for the help so kindly glves, yet, I beg Lao jix to accept it, and distribute it in rice ta sther. more needy familien." Mr. Hill was most agree. ably surprised at this proof of sincere gratitude, and smiling on the young man said, “You take those dollars back with you, you will need them to help you in getting a wife in the near future; and don't say any more about the help given, and I shall be pleased." But the young man per risied, saying, "When the time comes for that, and I should be in difficulties, we would again come bere nad consult with Lac-yls on the matter." Mr. Hat was pleared with the young and open-hearted fellow that he tesk the dollars, saying, "If I am in want, or my family. in want of a young man, I will remember you, and you shall have the first opportunity This meant a good deal with a man like Hsü, as the family has large pawp-shops and banks and other establiments in this prefecture The A sad story comes to us from Kushan.

It is thought they wern literally frozen to death,

Two conlios, engaged by a nativa bank to cany $2,300 from over the Bridge to Nantel, managed, in a crowded part of the street, to dis- appear from the man in charge, and to his sur prise and consternation they could nowhere be found. A bandrome reward is offered for Information that may lead to their arrest,

Reports reach us from Cheong Lok, Hockchang and Hirg-Hua.that the fall of snow was far heavler in those places than it was here.. It lay to the depth of upwards of two feet, and a great many head of caitle, left unsheltered during the memorable night of Sunday the 15th instant, perished to the cold. The people are said to have been terribly alarmed on first seeing the snow..

The late inclement weather has told seriously against the natives in causing a rise in the price of all commodities in daily use amongst them. Rice is fully goo casă per picul dearer, and the price of fire-wood zo per cent higher than it was. Salt asb, generally to cheap, is now too dear for the poorest classes to buy at all. cheapest food, to be had, have risen to geo cask per picul, having now largely taken the place of rice in the meals of the poorest natives, many of them being driven to live solely on this tuber, and as many more having to be content with one meal a day of it.

SHAOHSINO, January 18th, 1893. This bitterly cold weather has called forth the exercise of compassion and benevolence. What ever may be the motives which actuate the Chinaman, whether he considers the exercise of these affections as a source of moral advantage; THEATRE or "as a process of moral culture," whether he lows it as possessing a certain amount of "mental enjoyment which carrica with it its own reward," or looks upon it with Buddhistle mis- conception and attaches the character of merit to all that he does for the poor, still we are thank- ful that the poor are benefited thereby,

Another large "congee kitchen" has been opened about 30 yards from our house. The recipients of this charity are not allowed-as lo hangchow-to take any congee to their homes, but each man, woman or chlid may eat as much as he or she likes. The first meal is dispansed at a large temple next door to the Baptist Chapel, and is situated in the centre of the city. The afternoon meal is at another large temple not far as I have said above-from our place of residence and wear to the north gate of the city. Besides this portion af good hot food twice a day, wealthy familles are distributing an extra number of warm garments to the deserving, poor. For the Chinese do not at such Ilmes, and on cuch a large scale, distribute thetr charity in discriminately; indeed they are more careful and cautious concerning the subjects of their charly than foreigners are; we have been agreeably surprised at the minuteness of their investigations, and the smartness with which they find out impostors and inpositions This is not a Government charlly, and therefore the yamên runners have no share in the spoil, I am glad to say.
