A borrespondent writes to the Rungoon Gazette: A few miles south of Mandalay there is a village on the bank of a river. There may be sev eral villages for all I know but any way they have nothing to do with this narrative. At the village 1 am speak- ing of there is a Feast of Fishes" | every year. I had better explain that it is not the people who feast on fah, and of course the Ashes do not least on the people, but the fish feast on cakes and the people keep holy-day in honour of the occasion.

Where wide stretches of occan have been spanned either by steamship or by submarine cable, the apparent direct line has been rejected in favour of the true direct line at least, so far as other conditions (e... coaling stations) permit. The best known instance of this is given by the England-New York route, which fol lows or Mercator's projection a curved line roughly tangential to the Ameri- can coast between Newfoundland and Virginia.

from the accounts the amount of $14.985.91 has been received; re- ceipts since the end of the year amount to $1,915, which, with outstanding promises of $545, brings the total up to $17,446.91.
Persistent damp weather last Sum- mer made it appear desirable to raise a portion of the organ away from the ground. This was done at a cost of $225, and it is expected there will be no further major expense for some considerable time. The renovation foreshadowed in the last report was accomplished in October and the pro- perty generally is now in excellent condition, with the exception of the Manse which requires attention. The British and Foreign Bible Society's donations have been collected by Mrs. J. W. C. Bonner who received $317 and this with $55.31 Church Offertory amounted to $372.31.
