Children appear to lie valued very
lightly in China if we may believe the
statement ola contemporary which
says, the poorer classes in the neigh.
borhood Of Hong Kong, are selling
their children for twenty-four cents

seven to ten years, and the purchaser
must take them away at once and pro-
mise support. They are chiefly en-
ployed as servants. Older girls bring

the American Minister at the court Of St. Janess had

and he may have resented the information Witch II c,n
