Tradesmen in Hong Kong.

The Chinese tulor5 in Hong Kong
make excellent clothes, writes a cores
pondcnt. The suits are all of Europe
an stuff5 and cost from = to $40 each.
In all Hong Kong there is but one
foreign merchant tailor following a
distinctive trade, and he does not do a
very good business. The Chinese
tailors usually sell all the furnishing
goods necessary to complete a gentle
mans costume, and often at far less
prices than they can be obtained at the
European shops close at hand. Some
times they beat us even on our home
prices. AS an instance, there IS
well-known American toilet water
which costs in America seventy-fye
cents bottle at the swell places and
at others fifty cents, which the Chinese
sell for thirty cents.
The Chinese shoemakers please so
well that they have not aSlh8le lorelSh
competitor at Hong Kong There IS,
though, no Chinese apothecaries where
foreign drugs may be obtained. A
young Chinaman, having served seye-
raj years with an American dentist, is
practicing American dentistry in all
its branches. There are capital
Chinese photographers. The Chinese
build the houses in which the foreign
ers live, furnish and decorate them,
and then clothe, feed and serve the oc-
cupants.
The Chinese are being educated IN
the schools of the English colonists,
and so are being fitted for the positions
of clerks, bookkeepers, &c. in the for
eisn ccunting-rooms. The type-set-
ting in the foreign job printing and
newspaper offices is all done by native
compositors, as is all the book binding
and most Of the book binderies are
owned by the Chinese themselves.
