"OUR GUESTS,"
to submitting the toast of "Our Guests," Sir Charles Dudgeon said Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, The honour has been assigned. to me of proposing the next toast, which is one differentiated from that proposed by our Chairman in that his remarke were flavoured with some self-satisfaction and mutual admira- tion of ourselves most appropriate to an
occasion of this sort, while the toast that I have to submit is completely altruistic. It is the toast of "Our Guests," a toast which is always received at our gatherings most heartily a not quite aware why the committee has put the responsibility of proposing this toast on "me, though I think there were perhaps one ar two sub-conscious considerations which in- fluenced them.

It is wise to be chary of our praise, ut our prejudices frequently lead us to in- justice. Not long ago an insurrection in Southern China was suppressed with great severity, by a certain well-known viceroy. A give newspaper in Canton, hostile to the viceroy, gave vent to its hostility by publishing at this time a story alleging that on the occasion of the execution of a rebel leader, the viceroy, whose personal courage by the way bat often been tested, had cut out the rebel's heart and drunk some of his bloot in the belief that the
