In one respect, however, their position differs widely from that which they occupy in America and Australasia. They are superior in energy and business ability to the peOple among whom they live, are ab- sorbing a great deal of the retail and other trade, and are becoming more and more an important element in the enterprises of south Asia as far west . as Calcutta.

Thirty years ago the number living in other countries of Asia was estimated at 2,- 500,000. Ten years ago the figures had increased to 6,000,030. Since then except Asiatic countries. Careful in- quiries were made recently by French officials in view of the growth of Chinese immigrations in Cochin China and other French possessions, and the ‘ conclusion was reached that about ten million Chinese are now living in oth- er countries, and over nine-tenths of them have settled in lands bordering ‘ on the China Sea, the Gulf of Ben-i gal and in the East Indies Archipe-; I- _- The greater part of this vast migra- tion has occurred within the past fifty years; and simultaneously a great outward movement of the Chinese has taken place. The western world has had little idea oi the acQtual extent of this outllowing of Chinese, for most of. gration have been «diverted to North; America, Peru and Australia. Af noteworthy difference between the, exodus from Europe and that from? China is to be observed. The high tide 5 of European emigration was reachedf in 18:32 and then its volume waned for years and has only recently begun tog grow again. In 1882 the outward i movement of Chinese was also under? full headway, and, as far as can be i ascertained, the stream.has not dim-P lnished, but has tended to increase up to the present time. The movement began slowly, but has not lost the ,' impetus it finally gained.

The pods can also be gathered and dried and kept for winter use. w- w- A few plants of.Brussels sprouts will be found quite an addition. and as these are a. kind of cabbage, the treatment is the same as for cabbage or cauliflower.

Instead of being gored, this skirt . is now tucked to the figure, to about mid-skirt, when all the fulness falls in rich folds to the feet. W'e cannot say that even this skirt is very grace- ful, but it shows that skirts are be- ginning to think of increasing in width, which will be a real boon to those ladies who have always object- ed to the tight skirt. It is said that the umbrella skirt will also return to fashion. It is made of several gored widths, each seam being marked by acord, or some oth- er kind of trimming, So you see, we shall soon be able to walk easily again though, let us hope, not in the ath- letic style of the short-skirted girl of a couple of years ago i 7 t ~ Glue 'Waa for Months 3 Marty:- to In.
