it was suggested in the encular that skilfully aringed lessons on the natural history of the causes of the most important tropicki diseases might be made very attractive to children, nad that such teaching would be of practical utility in the future." The Secretary of State desired to be informed whether any teaching of this nature was at that time being given in the

Hygiene had not at that time been taught in the schools of the Colony, except here and there in a sporadic and disc nced way,

under the names of domestic science and physinfogy. To advise how the subject might be conveniently in roduced, Mi.

Meantime booking goes briskly on at the Robinson Piano Co., Des Voeux Road, THE SS. "CHARLES HARDOUIN,"

STRANDED OFF CAPSUEMOON. News was received in the Colony this morn! ing to the effect that one of the Franch river boats, for which the Messageries Maritimes are the local agents, had struck a rock near long- kong and was more or less seriously damaged A representative of the Felegraph called at the Company's office and was courteously informed by M. de Champeaux that the s,s Charles Hardouin had been disabled at Cap-sui-mun and so further particulars up to this afternoon had been obtained as to the extent of the daniago sustained by the vessel.

A visit to the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company's offices elicited the information that the tug Robert Coote was disembarking the Charles Hardouin's passengers and their loggage at Blake Pior.

On arriving at Blake Pier our reporter as certained that the Robert Cooke had already fulfilled her mission and was just then steaming

The night was dark and, the wind freshening. Everything went well until about half past ten o'clock when a loud shise was heard and instantly all the passengers fell a shock as if the ves el bad struck some bard sub tinre. Some of the passen ers, who | numbered close na Bo, fel somewhat alarmed at the 'sudden stopping of the vessel and not a few, we are trid felt a sudden impulse of jumping overboard had they not been stopped by their travelling cumpinions who saw ab sulately no drager in the position of the vessel.

THE PAPERS. There is no doubt in my mind, continues Mr. Irving, that & really practical knowledge of the rudiments of hygiene has been acquired. That was my impression before the examina tion, the results of which only serve to confirm it. The best papers were full and accurate; the worst contained singularly little of the meaningless verbiage, which examiners learn to look for at the bottom of any considerable number of papers. On the contrary, the worst papers, wth few exceptions, gave me the idea that the writers were either struggling to ex- press a correct idea, though language failed At the Unim Church Literary Clubs last hem; or else they were in the position of one, night, Mr. Geo.
