WU JING PANG,
There is a story of Alexander, Pope being likened to a date of interrogation because he was "a little crooked thing that was always asking questions.". But what Pope's critic said in his haste, Washington says in its leisure of the gentleman who is leaving Chica to become Its American Minister for the second time.

the gallery, and along the corridor so crowded was the hall. It was prettily decorated with evergreen and pot plants.
Punctually at five o'clock His Excellency the Governor Sir Frederick Lugard, and Lady Lu- gard arrived, accompanied by the A.DC. Their Excellencies were received by His Lordship Mgr. Pozzoni and Rev. Father Spada as master, of ceremonies who acted in the absence of | Father P. de Maria, manager of the schools, From the main entrance right up to the as- embly hall a large number of girls fined the way for the gubernatorial party.

Sir Frederick Lugard, having distributed the prizes to the successful scholars as given in the fist below, addressed the assembly making re ference to the school report and eulogising the work of the Convent. Owing to the lateness of the hour His Excellency's remaiks cannot be given in full in this issue.
"The entertainment provided by the young girls was then proceeded with. The item that afforded the most pleasure and certainly de serves special mention is "Britannia" The action song and fancy drill followed by the Maypole dance, was a charming performance that won the hearts of old and young alike. Thidy-four children took part. Miss Jenny Lawrence's "Britannia" in the characteristic patriotic song tunefully given by little bands of sailors and groups of flower girls charmingly at tired in while, holding bouquels of flowers held
together by dainty ribbons in the national colours of Old England, is entitled to a word of praise to performers as well as teachers. Little Miss Ahwes was an excellent accom.

As this stage of the journey the wind freshened to a modersle galo with high sea from the north-west. The bar meter was falling in the meantine Indicaling an approaching typhoon. Observing the ex- tremely threatening attitude of the weather, Captain Fey Bauled the steamer to Eastward and hove to West of Macclesfield Bank. All the time the wind was blowing with terrific force, the glass going down steadily until it attained its lowest reading on the 26th ins, at 4 p.nt, vie, z9 zu. But for Captain Fey's sound judgment, the Lightning would have run right into the centre of the storm.

That report consists of very little more than a ralteration of the libellous slate- ments contained in a letter written by my Damesake in Japan to the editor of the China Mail, which letter was published in that news-" paper on the 20th December, 1916. In con2 sequence of such publication certain steps warni taken by me, which resulted. In the pro- prietor of the China Mail satisfying himself that the allegations of my namesake were utterly fular; and in his offering to insert in his news paper an ampla apology for having published the tetter, i I objected to such an apologyTM appearing in the paper unless and until some independent solicitor, to be employed by the proprietor of the China Hall, bad thoroughly investigated the matters referred to a my nameszewie:ter, by examination of the papera, and correspondence relating thereto; and had Also seen the Registrar of the Supreme Court (one of whose duties is to tax solicitor's "bills f·costs), with reference to the bill com plaid of.
