Following our remarks, which appeared in last week, or money lenders in Hongkong. An article on somewhat similar lines ap peared in a number of the Straits Times just to hand. After dealing with the nuisance which the Chetty is to the Colony, the editar- ial proceeds: Quite recently, the judiciary of an American State held it as being against public policy to perink Government clerks to negotiate their salary warrants, and something of this kind may well be attempted here. To the subordinate clerk in the employ of mercan tile houses, notoriously beset by interest-hvat ing Cheties, the protection of the Government may well be extended, as well in the interests of the clerks themselves as in those of their Employers, A usery law, a drastic but futile expedient, would not remedy the evil of which we are complaining, as the acuteness of the money-lender would be sure to devian a counter- expedient whereby the amount of his claim would bende to appear mainly as principal, to which only the statutory rate of interest would on tensibly be added. Nor does the case with which a debtor may obtain relief in the insolvency Court appear to curtail the business of the Chetty who, as far as possible, secures himself against the intervention of the Couri by charg- ing a rate of interest proportionate to the risk And, while the operation of the Insolvency Act generally leaves the Chetty unaffected, it does not tend to improve the morale of bor. rowers who, once having obtained rallel, wil! ask for it again and again. If the humble Eurasian or Chinese clerk is ethically unfitted to protect himself, it is surely the duty of the legislature to come to his rescue by the enact- meet of some such ruling as the courage of the American Judge above referred to has achieved. This would curb the readiness of Chetties to lend to these misguided persons, and we may in time witness amongst us a diminished THE Undersigned has received instructions number of the unclothed Shylocks of the East, who are here merely for the exploitation of the feckless class which, pays to them an appa ling toll of chronic domestic misery,

OBSERVATIONS made in certain schools and dwellings show that girls have mora endur- ance in work than boys until the age of four. teen. From foniteen the working power of a girl does not increase till the age of twenty, whereas that of a boy continues to grow. The energy displayed by girls of twenty is about ball that of boys of the same age. Other ob servations tend to prove that intellectual and physical superiority in generál go together,

MEXICO has certainly the most luxurious, if [FF not the most comfortable, railway in the world. The rails of the Mexican Gulf Railway are laid on sleepers of mahogany, and the bridges are buit of white marble. On the west coast of Mexico there is another line which has sleepers of ebooy and ballast of silver ore, drawn from old mines beside the track. The reason for this apparent extravagance is that the engi. neers had no other materials on the route, and
