"BROWNIK" ON "MILK." (ALSO "OFF")
We beg to acknowledge receipt of a title work published from the office of the China Mail and entitled "The Cattle Disease at Pokfulam Daley Fam: Interview with the Maa- | ager." This amusing work of fiction, new first isiue to pamphlet form, is given away without a pound of ten, or even a plich of salt, and there as pears to be some danger that people might read ; though to say they would believe it, would be a libe! on the intelligence of the public, If it has any.
The story pens with a protest—is a good beginning. Modern manufacturers of Imtglasitve literature have long since abandoned the tedious explanatory introducika, an I find it walls rendere to get down at once to the thrilling paniges and let m thrill for all they are worth. But they are not worth much in this case, so that may be the reason for this despondent prélude.

The author detalls first how "persistent attacks have been male on the Dilly Farm," which is a gross plagiarism of the Tylim Tiger's copyright explolts. He then passes to to the "dliquletteg, not to my alarming, rumours that have been put elreuistion about the cattle on the larm," Arybody caught lurking about the cat:le doing such things ought to be denounced, as the poor animals ought not to bave any alarm at:g roundabout them within caraight. As a matter of fact, there was a rtsmour that the Government Veterinary Surgeon reported the existence of pleuro-perumosia at Pokialam, but that. Is nothing; the disease was stamped out promptly a month ago, and is still riglag just the sam; but that again is nothing. This
may appear paradoxical, not to say billy non. sense, but whitt "brownle" writes books like thly what can be expected ?
The treated author says these disquieting and almost startling tumours have brès menda. ciously rustered ad hy terically promulgated by those who are not requ:lated with all the facts. Now, the only thing approaching a "promul Ration" of anything in reference to the Farr was the aforesaid fick declaration that pleuro- pneumonia existed here. Where the men
