26 Handbook of the It is usually the case that Europeans live at a more expensive rate than when at home, and it will not he safe for the newcomer to cut his estimate of annual expenses down to any lower figure than one which exceeds hy half what he has found requisite in England. Prohahly the smallest sum upon which a bachelor on an estate or in a country district could live with any approach to comfort, considering only the necessaries of life and making no allowances for luxuries, would he from $80 to $100 a month. If any margin is to be allowed for amusements and social diversions at least half as much again must be provided. These figures represent the lowest possible limit in the case of gentlemen of education and refinement. Emigrants of the artizan class could probably manage, with care, on $60 or $70 a month, if not called upon to pay rent for the house they occupy. Means of In addition to the railways, the following means of transtransport. port for passongors and goods are available : Grharis, or light two-wheeled pony carts, with a light overhead covering as a protection from sun and rain, are the form of passenger conveyance for hire in Selangor, Negri Sembilan and Pahang. Each ghari will accommodate one passenger and a box of moderate dimensions, in addition to the driver. Native passengers frequently travel two in a ghari, but this arrangement is not recommended, for the sake both of the passengers and the pony. A journey in one of these gharis not infrequently partakes of the nature of violent exercise, but in the absence of a private conveyance or of a bicycle, it is usually the only alternative. In Perak the gharis are of larger build, are usually drawn by horses, and are more spacious than those above mentioned. The jinricksha, pulled by Chinese coolies, is the conveyance usually hired for short runs in and around the neighbourhood of the towns. They are comfortable, and usually fairly clean, but as the coolie who pulls it seldom understands any language but his own dialect, and is as a rule supremely ignorant of the rule of the road, it is well to keep a wary eye on his movements. Goods of all descriptions are conveyed over the roads in carts drawn by pairs of bullocks, the speed of which seldom exceeds two miles an hour. —
