Casing A Prince.
An amusing episode in the life of the late King Edward VII. is recalled by the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs, Lamb, of Westmorland. It was the molber of Mr. Lamb who cuffed the ear of King Edward when he was) Prince of Wales. The Prince, who was a small boy at the time, and was spending a holiday at Grasmere. chased some lambs. Their owner. Mrs. Lamb, resented the proceedings She caught hold of his Royal Highness, gave him a good shaking, accompanied by a cuff on the ear and some sound advice as to his future conduct. The Prince's tutor hurried up and told Mrs. Lamb that the boy was the Prince of Wales. "I don't care," said the angry lady, " he must not chase my lambs into the lake," Mrs. Lamb was the wife of a farmer and the story is still told in the Gras mere district, where they live long and have good memories.

CORRESPONDENCE.
TO ENCOURAGE BUILDING,
(To the Editor of the " China Mail."}
Sir-In continuation of the Debate in the Legislative Council on the above subject may I be permitted to point
out-
1. That, as the proposed remission is intended to relieve the pocket of the person who has to pay for the new buildings. 1.e.. the Landlord, ir is
I sound arguldent not against such remission to contend that the Landlord will not pass on the benefit of the same to the Tenant.
2. That, inthe deserving case of the man of moderate means, who desires to build a home for himself and his family, such a remission would con- stitute a substantial inducement to build.
Yours faithfully.
H. E. POLLOCK.
