SHANGHAI WEDDING "An interesting marriage took place recently at Holy Trinity Cathedral. between Mr. T. L Macartney of Hankow and Miss Hilda Van Corbach of Shanghai. The service was conducted by the Rev. C. J. Symons, M.A.
AS USUAL.
Anticipating failure of the "Peace
negotiations and a con- |sequent resumption of hostilities. arrangements are being made to hold a meeting of various Chinese societies in Shanghai "to discuss and decide what steps shall be taken in dealing with the side which begins hostilities."
RETURNED VOLUNTEER. Among the passengers return- ing to Shanghai from War Service by the P. and O. S. Prinzessin was Captain A. F. Gimson, R. F. A... of the Public Works Department. Captain Gimson was one of the Suwa Maru contingent to volunteer for service in 1914. He brings back the Military Cross.
BRIGHTER LONDON.
London office and mercantile buildings are blossoming out in colours, now that the war is ended and the house painter has return- ed to his task. London is far less smoky this year than in former years because of the decreased use of coal and the increase in the use of gas and electricity, This prompts the use of lighter colours by the painters.
BIG PIRACT.
A very big piracy is reported to hare taken glace near the town of Linchow, on the North River, the other day. Some junks which were conveying goods from Canton and Fatshan to various ports on the North River were looted. The escorts fought the pirates but were defeated and several of them were killed. All the junks were cleared of their contents, which are valued_st_ more than a million dollars. The pirates took nearly the whole day to land the goods.

is reported that the Government A, S. WATSON & co.,
are now considering the matter. It is said that the proposal made by Mr. Nemoto is the best thus far, and the Government are studying the American temperance lawe and Mr. Nemoto's outline. The question will be taken up in the coming Diet. It is likely that persons under the age of 25 will be forbidden to touch liquor.
MUMMIFIED BARY FOUND. An open verdict was returned at a Woolwich inquest recently in the case of a newly-born, un- known female child whose body was found in the attic of the White Horse public-house, Wool- wich-road, Charlton. A barman found the body, wrapped in brown paper, under the flooring of the loft. A doctor stated that the body was in a state of mummific- ation, and might have been where.. it was found for months or even years. There was 2 smell of pepper about the body, which the Coroner suggested might have been used to prevent smell.
OYSTERS 105. A HUNDRED. At a meeting of the Kert and Essex Sea Fisheries Board in London, recently Mr. Sydney Brown, the Chairman, said he understood the first consignments of Dutch oysters had reached this country, and were selling at 10s. a hundred. That was less than British growers could produce them. Fifteen million Dutch oysters were expected. Other members said Kent and Essex would defy competition, owing to their quality, but fear was ex- pressed that the Dutch would be sold as natives, and it was decided to suggest that the Oyster Growers" Association should appoint inspectors.
LEG BROKEN EIGHTEEN TIMES, George Hubert Osborne can claim a leg-breaking record. He was the respondent in the Sydney Divorce Court recently when his wife. Ellen Osborne (formerly Kay) asked for a divorce on the grounds of desertion. The re- pondent hobbled into court on crutches, with the lower part of his left leg missing. "My leg was broken eighteen times," be said. "before I had it taken off. I was paralysed when I was two years of age, and since then the bone has been very brittle." Asked to fix the date when he made a certain offer to his wife, he replied, “Just after my leg was broken for the sixteenth time." Evidence for the petitioner was that in 1908 the respondent left her, and three children of the marriage. She had received £5 from him in five years. Mr. Justice Gordon granted a decree misi, returnable in six months.
