A boy asked to give the provisions of the Treaty of Union says "Tea was brought to England by the Dutch from China tobacco and potatoes was brought to England by Drake." In conclusion we must point out that in 3 forms not a single boy has passed. However, 3 boys showed, consider abie historical knowledge.
GEOGRAPHY was worse.. Out of 9 forms only 3 have obtained a percentage of passes. The only Boy who showed & competent know. ledge of the subject was Tam, Wing Kwong.

CANTON NOTES.
CAGED PRISONERS. (From Our Own Correspondent.)
CANTON, April 271h The punishment of persons guilty of the lesser crimes, such picking pockets, shop, lifting etc, by exhibiting the guilty party in á cage near the scene of his crime B very com- mon at present. In fact it is only within the last year that this method of punishment has been practised to any extent. Now it seems to have taken the place of punishment by means of the cangue. Just now these "caged birds may by seen in many parts of the city. They are always surrounded by a crowd of idle bersons who stand silently gazing at them, In the opinion of the Chinese this is an excellant mode af punishment.

Lord Roberts had reported that General Colvile had shown want of chterprise and sound judgment in the field, and by twice leav ing a body of cavalry in difficulties had set an example which, if followed, would be fatal to an army in the field. There had also been an absence of sufficient control and super vision, and therefore his retention in his command.

Lord Roberts had received every distinction which a man could receive from 2 grateful Sovereign and from his fellow country men, but those high titles which had been so nebly won would have been a travesty and tinsel if his decisions in matters of this kind were not accepted. He earnestly berged the House to put confidence in the Government, and to have some confidencein the Commander in-Chief, and to remember that if these decisions were to be made the subject of continued dis- cussion in the House they must militate against the discipline of the Anny, and would not add to the credit of the House. The debate was adjourned, but was, continued on the following evening. Mr. Douglas' proposal would constitute the Mr. A.

That meant that the House was to take account of super vision over all promotions in the Army, Ha contended that that would destroy the discrp: line of the Army. The real question was whether General Colvile was a proper person to be in command or not, and the adequate and proper judge of such questions was the Commander-in-chief. Mr. Douglas proposal was rejected by 262 against 184.

GRAMMAR In Nu the percentage of passes was very high, and the boys showed a sound knowledge of the subject. The papers of 11 A and IA. were also good,, but the other forms were mediocre, if not bad.

"Concord is defined to be that which does not depend anything else." The comparative and super. tive degrees of "ull" are given as "sick," sickness."
|_ COMPOSITION.—In classes 1. A.B. and N. : the test was essay-writing, and the boys were given a choice between three subjecti. The Chinese boys seem to have little idea of how an essay should be written, and the difference
between them and the non-Chinese boys is
strikingly shown in the percentages which are respectively to % and 75 % In N. 1 Ghula mali's style and appreciation of his subject was noticeable. The repeated use of the personal pronoun by many of the boys was very offen- sive, and such sentencus as "There are many others proofs of the use of newspapers. I'lease excuse. I am ignorant"—are in essay writing the deprecated.
In the other classes a short story was slowly rend to the boys, and they were required to reproduce it from memory N. 2-11" Ay and III A, show percentages of passes, and the work of Solomon, Wong Pak Hing, and Ho Yan Sik was creditable, but in many cases evidently little was, understood and even less was reproduced. N. 3 and 11 B. were particu farly bad. On this subject we must again refer to the comments of the examiners of 1897-
ALGEBRA.--There was a great difference in the standard of the papers set to the different forms. The Chinese boys on the whole show greater capacity for mathemetics than the Non-Chinese. The discrepancy between boys; not necessarily at the top and bottom of a given form, is astonishing for example in 1 A. B, where several bovs do creditably, 6 boys fil to reach double figures; while in 1il B. the variation is between full marks and no marks. This is apparent in almost every subject.
EUCLIDAgain the Chinese boys proved superior to the Non-Chinese. In a searching paper. Hung ing Kam (IA.B.) gained full marks, answering riders correctly. Much of the mathematical work is very neat. But boys who fail frequently show that they do not know the meaning of such clementary terms as base, triangle, angle, etc. For example one boy concludes by stating that "the base of the friangte is equal to 2 triangles. Q. E. D." We were far too often informed that. the whole is greater than its part; which is absurd. Such proofs of 1. 3. as "from the greater of 2 given straight lines cut off a part equal to the less:

can to bring about some kind of reform, be- comes more evident the more that is learned about his doings. It is said that he has sent a memorial to the thrope on the subject of opium smoking. The reason given for the preparation of this memorial is that in the opinion of the Viceroy, China cannot be reformed by officials, nine tenths of whom are upium smokers. H. E. To hopes to prevail upon the other south- ern Viceroys to memoralize the throne, upon the same subject. If the recommendations of the memorial could be carried out there would be a wonderful change, or rather transform- atino ofthe officials. The memorial goes minutely into the restrictions thai shall be placed upon the different officials and the kraduates of the different degrees who use opian, but the recommendations may be briefly summed up follows: No military official shall be employed who uses opium. The civil officials who use' opium shall be ex- cused from duty until they break up the habit, when they shall be allowed to resume office. Students who use opium shall not be allowed ation, The Viceroy is certainly striking at the to enter the lists of candidates for any.examin. root of the matter in this instance. He might. make a beginning by refusing to appoint any opium smoker in the district over which he has jurisdiction.
COTTON MILL MONOPOLY,
It-is reported that the Vicergy has granted a monopoly to a company for twenty years for the manufacture of cotton goods. The company is already formed with a papital of $600,000 which is to be raised fo $1,000,000.
WATER WORKS FOR CANTON,
་་
About ten years ago some enterprising in- 'dividuals proposed the establishment of water- works by which Canton could be supplied with pure water. The gentry were opposed to the scheme on the ground of "fung shui" and because all the wells would become useless. The matter was dropped at that time. Now a company has secured the consent of the Viceroy and proposes to store water in the -Who-Cloud Hills. There seems to be no reason why this undertaking should not succeed.

One of the most eloquent tributes ever penned to the worth of the Great White Queen is con tributed by Mr. C. de Thierry, a resident of Australia, to the March number of the United Service Magazine, The writer considers that every side of the late monarch's service has received full justice but the Imperial, and he strives nobly to supply the lack.

A TRIUMPH OF CHRISTIANITÝ...... Her whole life was spent in doing good. But it is only now that that the consciousness. of what she was is coming home to us, and that is why her passing through London was the Queenliest progress she ever made. At last we have awakened to our danger; at last we began to pause on our headlong course to the abyss of materialism. The noble example which restrained, but did not inspire us as a people, is now our most precious posses sion. What it failed to accomplish while the Queen lived, it will accomplish when she has gone to her roward. Never again will London area sight so majestic, or so entirely in harmony with the Christian ideal as By moral influence alone she built up aber last progress.

GENERAL COLVILE'S CASE IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

She re-made the Monarchy, says the writer:
She raised the entire fabric on a new founda-
tion. Into the dry bones of the Constitutional Monarchy she breathed the spirit of life by calling forth her people's love. For though the governing institutions of the world must be moulded by reason and intellect, they are rooted deep in the hearts of men,
Here the Queen reigned supreme, and her power was such as no sovereign who ruled by force, or right, or ability, ever-commanded. Thus out of the seeming weakness of a woman on the throne was perfected the strength of an Empire. In making the Crown the highest clement in our national life, the Queen made it the symbol of Empire. She and her world- wide realm were one; a fact which first found fitting expression in the Jubilee pagent of 1897

After sixty years the cumulative effect of duty, | faithfully performed as it were in secret, was revealed in the light of a united people's passion.
The case of General Colvile and his retire. from the Army has been fully explained this week (March 16) both by Mr. Brodrick, the Secretary of State for War, and by Lord Roberts, whose correspondence has been issued as d Parliamentary paper. The matter arose in the House of Commons; when Mr. Charles Douglas the young Liberal, member for North-West Lanark, called attention to the treatment of Sir H Colvile by the War Office, and moved: "That, in the opinion of this House, the public interest requires that a complete and immediate inquiry be made into all the circumstances connected with the removal of General Colvile General from his command at Gibraltar,"

Colvile occupied a Mr Brodrick, who replied, said his feel ings were partly of relief because a great many statements had "appeared about the case, and apparently considerable misappre. hension prevailed. He regretted that the motion made it necessary for him to say things he would rather have left, unsaid about an officer who had had a distinguished career. He denied that in reopening Sir Henry Colvile's case he had acted on his own initiative, with- his action had been due to the social influence out consulting his military advisers, and that brought to bear by the members of the Im- perial Yeomanry concerned in the Lindley dis- aster.
