A CONTEMPORARY Says a remarkably ingenious invention recently put us the market in the United States, is a magazine tack hammer The hammer handle is fitted on the under side with a magazine which holds between 60 and 706 or 8 ounce tacks. These are fed into the magazine one at a time by pushing their heads into the magazine tube, a small Bat spring at this point retaining then after they au in the magazine. It requires but a few seconds to fill the magazine.

The Constable grumbles about the Sergeant, the Sergeant about the Inspector, and the Inspector about things in general. What is the reason of this: Why is much the same thing going on at nearly every one of the stations in the Colony and the New Territory? It is this. Take Tsim Sha Tsui. There at one time, we

A DANGEROUS PROCEEDING.
powerful brain evolved the scheme of pro- curing from the old country an instructor in gunnery and seamanship. This was ac cordingly done with the result, which must to any thinking person have been foreseen, general dissatisfaction and grumbling. Three men with the best of charactors with service ranging from 3 years up to a man in his third term of service, were suddenly superseded by one new to the service and the Colony. This, man is made * first class Inspec tor, whose only hope of pulling through and learning the duties is having a 3rd class Inspector in the station with tried and trusty Sergeants to teach him the work he came out to teach them. Can it be wondered at that men of irreproachable character, of long service, with a thorough knowledge of every phase of the duty should get disgusted at the conditions of the service, but having been in it so long and made it their calling must perforce see the time through, so as to earn their pension? We do not say one word against the man who has been foisted on the service but we do against the those who have been responsible for putting this official in a false position and thereby creating as great a feeling of discomfort in Tsim Sha Tsui as there is in the Central.

EXECUTION AT PEKING. The N. C, Daily News says:—
From the following Peking letter it would appear that the Chinese officials who have recently taken over the policing of portions of the capital delivered over to them by the with- drawing of the Allies are showing a commend- able degree of energy and diligence in keeping order and searching for bandits and despera does, who have swarmed into the city after the departure of the Foreign troops to ply their. that the Board of Punishments decapitated ten nefarious trade. The letter in question states, robbers on the 13th inst. in the principal market place of the city, while the Police Censors of the "Five Cities of Peking beheaded eleven more on the following day (14th). All of the condemned "confessed" their several crimes and received their doom accordingly, whitst amongst those executed by the officials of the Hoard of Punishments there were two men who were recognised as ex-Boxers who had escaped from Peking upon the fall of the City, and had returned when the Allies had withdrawn the greater part of their forces, on the supposition that “it was all right for them so long as the Empress Dowager still remained at the helm." This part of the evidence of the two ex-Boxers was given in So loud, resonaut tones before the judges, which coit is stated, so alarmed them that fearful of the news spreading aboard and getting to the ears of the Foreign Ministers and thus causing trouble, the judges for obvious reasons had no alternative but to order the men to summary 20 execution. It is also alleged that there was at first considemble discussion and opposition to the sentence by some of the members of the

It is reported here that the Russians are busy making preparations to despatch 20,000 mei to the Corean frontier to disperse the Chinese bandits assembled there, but a report sent to his Government by the Corean Commander on the border states that there are no bandits in in the district. It appears therefore that the Russians are preparing to send a large force to Antong and that the idea that the troops are required to disperse bandits is uncrely an excuse. The foreign Ministers to Seoul are said to be keeping a close eye on Russian schemes there. Asahi,

The vessel was commanded by John Strachan, and with him were his wife, Alice," and bis son, Wallace. Lionel Plummer was the chief officer, and a native maid servant named Papan attended on Mrs. Strachan. On the 16th of February last, the persons mentioned were attacked with a pecuiliar sickness which caused, severe pains in the body. Un alher $744 occasions. subsequent to this, the same symptoms were felt, and it occurred to them too that they were being poisoned. The cook, a

This led to a confession, and he ad- mitted that one Salem, an Arab sailor, had, given him some phosphorus 'and, poison" used $275 10 destroy cockroaches, to put in the food. 150 The object was to make the people so sick so that the captain would be compelled to put 200 into port.
