u In ..Neales Residence in Siam,'' work
recently published we find the following bit OF
information, which will probably deter bachelors
from "settling down" in China: t a
When Chinese lady is blessed with an increase
Of her :amily, iroin the moment OF her accouch-
ment the unhappy husband is put to bed also, and
there detained for forty days,durmg which de-
lightful penancc he is subjected TO all the rigorous
treatment of his better half. Should medicine be
| administered to her, he must partake of it also
and he is strictly confined to the same diet that she
is Obliged to undergo, which consists on an aver
age, believe, OF about one thlmbeful OF cream
of rice, administered every, three hours-to say
nothing of the pill at bedtime to prevent indiges-
ton, .s-.rs,T--I t5sf-
g We do not know how this works in Siam, but
we are decidedly opposed to any such custom be-
ing introduced in this region. We are convinced
that the better halves of our city would never
consent to this double imposition. We would
like to know who would tnurse the baby" if the
papas were packed up in that heathenish style.
CmAnAcrER OF AMERICAN FLOUR IN ENGLAND
In a commercial circular of Messrs. Richardson
Brothers q Co., of Liverpool, received by the Eu-
ropa, it is stated 7,r IS. 49,. s.s.as
.'The low quality OF most of the American flour
that has been received here for some years past,
has caused the difference of prices between 1t and
wheat 10 be much greater than the relative portions
of seventy pounds of the former to the barrel Of
the latter
The comparison here made, shows that the de-
feet in quality arises from themanufacture and not
from the quality of the wheat. tits further stated
in proof of the inferior quality OF American floul

"Whilst 2ls. per Dbl. has been the outside value
of the best American on sale, French, the same

25s. lOd. per bh., and Irish 34s. to 35s. per %

pondent of the Philadelphia North American, in
his letter of the 9th ultno, thus notices The up
proach of the fatal diseases, ~ ..I.r8f-
rThat terrible scourge, the. Asiatic cholera, is
steadily moving from east to west, as in 1885 and
1917, and it is more fatal to the population than ii
was in those years. In central Europe, 1t is sweep
ing away its thousands. From Persia, the cholera
has spread through Turkey, Poland and Prussia II
has proved very fatal at Warsaw and also at Dant-
&c. Accounts IeCe1Scu ooch StasS that ehc
proportion of deaths, to the number of persons at
tackled continues aarnngly highs out OF sixty eight
new cases. fifty eight were fatal. In most places,
there was such panic that the courts were
adjourned. - t1,s'. f.
at is feared, in England, that the cholera will
go the tract this year, that, after reach
ing the western ports ofthe continent, it will first
appear on the eastern coast of England, and IRON
this country it will pursue its. course westward to
the United States. 1t is well, therefore, for our
countrymen, to be warned in time, that their
cities and towns may be cleansed, and the drain
age carefully attended to by competent persons.
Some preliminary action, in this respect, may be
the means of saving many lives" s,'l9 49, -
