CONSIDERABLE indignation was expressed at a meeting ofthe British Mercantile Marine Officers' Association held at the Marine Hotel last might, respectingan unauthorised statement in the CAfra
Mail to the effect that the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce had arrived at an adverse decision on the subject of legislation in connection with Sunday labour on board ships in Hongkong harbour. It was urged that the publication of such a statement was premature in the extreme, as no reply from the Chamber had been received up to that time and it was not expected for a week or more. The Secretary was at once desired to address a note to the Editor of the Daily Prom denying in express terms that the Association had received even the slightest intimation of the Chambers' decision on the question at issue the much-vezed question of unnecessary labour on board ship on Sunday. It was further Cecided to forward a copy of the Chamber's reply to all the local newspapers, both Englib and Chinese, as soon as it came to hand. The Secretary was instructed accordingly, and the proceedings terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the Chairman,

PROBABLY the most extraordinary surgical operation on record is reported from Paris.

The child, a little giti four years old, had a deformed head, only about one-third the size of an ordinary little one of her age. Sho never smiled, never took notice of any thing, and she could neither walk nor stand. The Doctor became convinced that the duo condition of the little creature was to the abnormal narrowness of the head, which hindered the natural growth of the brain. About the middle of May fast he made a long and narrow incision in the centre of the skull and cut a portion out of the left side of it, without injuring the dura mater. The result of this operation was something astounding. In less than a month the child began to walk. Now she smiles, interests herself in everything Fround her, and plays with a doll.
