This style of gambling is prohibited in Hong- kong, as it is also, at all events nominally, in all the British settlements in China and the Straits Settlements; and thus it is that the Chinese and Europeans come down to Macao for the Sunday-when it is not mail day-to "makee play along that Fan Tan gallah."

Kanking and Hankow, or even Macao although so easily reached from Hongkong. As for the enterprising lourist who manages to include in his round-the-world programme a visit to the imperial city of Pekin, he might almost be entitled to rank as an explorer. The chief industry was formerly the Chinese. Coolie Emigration, in plain Englisis slave-dealing-made that be he can split with his chap-stick painfully analogous to the Queensland Kanaka traffic, fortunately now put an end to by the Commonwealth Parliament. It was here that the needy natives were bribed by smalt douceurs of money and magnificent promises of future employment to leave the mainland. They were housed, or rather herded together under lock anil key in dark, unhealthy, prison-like buildings, called "barracoons," and starred and ill-treated until Portuguese ships arrived to take them to Brasil, where they got employment, and were, as a rule, in a state of semi-slavery their original purchasers or bribers reaping a large profit by what was practically their sale to the employers at their foreign destination. However, this iniquitous traffic was suppressed in 1873. There is large civil and military establishment at Macao, and considerable pump and ceremony are ob.erved in both branches of the service in spite of their being ill-paid and ill-hou ed. The Governor's bouse reminds one of the paste- board casites one sometimes sees on the stage of a third-rate provincial theatre. A band plays daily in the public gardens, which are crow.'ed by the civil and military employés, the former dressed, even under a tropical sun, in ill-fitting evening dress. white tie, roomy white kids, patent leather boots, and shining chapeaux de toilette, *

* Up to a few years ago there was a large Roman Catholic cathedral, pictures quely situated on the lofty plateau in the centro of the peninsal, and possessing some archi tectural pretensions but it was burnt down a few years ago, and only the shell remains. Portuguese ladies, closely veiled in their funeral-like mantillas, worn for this occasion only, may be seen trooping in considerable numbers the daily 6 a.m. law mass. There is one great name associated with this mori- bund colony, for the celebrated Portuguese poet, Camoent, was exiled here from, 1556 to 1558 and there sull exists in the public garden his myrtle tree, under whose shade it was his custom to sit, and a sepulchral-looking memorial (calle! Grutta de Camoens), sor mounted by a bronze bust of the Danie of Portugal, now marks the site of the past's refuge; and here local tradition avers that the first six banks of that great work, The Lustads (The Lusitanians), were written, But Macao has been and is still chiefly celebrated for its gaming tables, which are crowded by Chinese and Portuguese, and from Saturday to Monday by Britishers from Hongkong, who prefer having a Butter at the game, if it can be so called, of fan-tan, instead of going to the service at Hongkong Cathedral. The. gambling hells are in the Chinese quarter, and are by no means attractive as regards exterior or interior. They are, of course, licensed by the Portuguese authorities—indeed, the taxes: imposed on these gambling, dens constitute one of the principal sources of revenue of the city. There is naturally no difficulty in obtain ing admission, for which no charge is made, foreigners, especially English, being welcomed These gaming houses are usually of one storey only, and on the ground floor (which you enter at once Iron the street, there being no ball or ante-room) you find an ill-lighted and ill-venti: lated room, someo feet by go, the sole furni- ture of which is a table: about 4 feet square 4 feet bigb. Before the croupier, usually the proprietor, is a small pile of cash. In the middle of the table is a large slab of xine divided into four sections numbered 1, 2, 3. and 4. The puoters place their stakes on one of the sections, but the richer player are careful not to indicate the amount of the stake, and wrap themoney up in rice paper, though even the most skiifu! erpupier would find it difficult, with so many eyes watching, bis manipulation of the the cash, to add to his legitimate prongs by cheating. The ground-floor room is crowded. with lower.class natives and a sprinkling of foreigners, but in the balconies which surroun! the gambling hell are collected the members of the Chinese Aaule monde, mandarins, and other functionaries, who can join in the game. unperceived by the common herd below. They lower their stakes to the croupier in small reed baakels, which are lowered and mised by a cord.
