H0NGKONGCUSTOMS
Chinese Women Perform a.
Heavy Labor as the Men.
They Haul Huge Loads, Harnessed Up

carry heavy weights strung over their
shoulders as yokels carry milk cans
in the country.
They stagger up the Peak for about
100 yards, when they lay down their
burden, go back, pick a new lot up,
carry this up to the first dumping
place, then take the first load or a
few yards further and SO on, all under
a blazing sun. All the bricklaying,
road mending, coalirg, etc, is done
equally by both sexes, but perhaps the
most curious sight, writes a Hongkong
correspondent, is to see a woman
straining at an oar or at the steerage
of a sampan.

Of the women will work an a to-
gether, one pulling one way and the
other pushing, while a little baby is
perched on the back Of each in a sort
Of cradle or papoose arrangement.
On the other hand up on the Peak,
which is the European settlement, one
often sees a Chinese boy walking
along sedately pushing a perambula-
tor, while the English nursemaid
walks empty handed by his side and
superintends operations. OF course all
the house work is done by "boys."
The next point is the very cosmopol-
itan nature Of the place. This was
most forcibly borne in upon me the
other day when l was walking with al
American on one side and an Austral-
ian on the other. Just in front of us
were a couple Of Germans, a Parsee
stood at the door of his shop, q Japa-
nese girl followed by two Portuguese
boys passed us, and a moment later a
rickshaw went by in which sat a Span
ish maiden.
There were Of course Chinese scat

that here within a hundred yards Of
one another at least nine nationalities
were represented. 1t would be hard to
