Reference-Despatch from Consul has been declared an ille al society General to Governor of Hongkong, does not mean that the door has been dated 20th January, 1922 forwarding closed to negotiations between the revised terms of Seamen's Union.

Etiquette for Clergy.
Untidy rating the attentions of and how to behave in other people's women parishioners, collars, cassucks,
homes are some of the subjects which are brightly treated in "A Book of Courtesy for the Clergy, or Deport-
ment
for Deacons," by the Rev. Campbell B. Halon, vicar of Holy Trinity, Southport. It is published at Is. aet by the St. Catherine Pres, Stamford-street, S. E. Among the maxims it contains are:
"It will be soon enough to be known as a sa'nt when you are dead; ; meanwhile strive to carry yourself always as a gentle man." A clergy- man is expected to wear a uniform that is unhesitatingly bidecus. It is black and mournful. It shows the dust and the dirt, spilt milk shines like silver and slobbered egg like burnished gold. A clergyman's best friend must be his clothes brush."
