PAPAL RELIC.

HEAD OF A HUGE STATUE.

IN TIBER...

Lordon, May 12. The head of a colossal statue of Pope Paul IV., which lay in the bed of the Tiber for centuries opposite the Papal Castle of St. Angelo, has been recovered, says the "British United Presn."

Pope Paul IV. was bitterly hated by the populace, and when, in 1559, it was known that he was dying, a mob pulled down all the statues erceted in his honour, including a huge figure more than 20 feet high, which stood in the Castle of St. Angels.

The head of the statue was Bever ed from the trunk, rolled through the streets. by the crowd, and fo- ally flung into the Tiber.

Some time ago, during dredging operations, the head of the statue was recovered. It has now beeri definitely identified by General Borgatti, director of the Military Museum in the Castle of St. Angelo.. Identification was made by a comparison of the head with the features of the only remaining statue in Rome of the unpopular Pope.

RARE STAMP DISCOVERED.

Wellington (N.Z.), May 13..

A New Zealand postage stamp, belleved to be the only one in exist. ence, has been discovered at Christ- church. This is the penny starap, known to collectors as the "Full Face Queen's," which was printed in London in the early, "sixties" on unperforated sheets containing 240 stamps.

These, when sold, were usually cut off the shoot with scissors, but the sheet from which the stamp in question came had been perforated by a firm of Dunedin printers, and Is the only specimen kaown- Reuter.

AFTER FORTY YEARS IN CHINA

Thirty-five years, ago, in 1893, there was a tiffin party in Shang- hai, at which there were present elevan man, all of whom had seen at least twenty years' in the Far East. The function engaged the attention of a local journalist and in a contemporary of that date there appeared the following state- ment:

Total Abstinence in China. Some statistics have been sent to us on the subject of total. abstinence in China, which may be interesting now that the warm! weather is approaching. The oleven gentlemen, mentioned below, met casually at tifin and fall ing into conversation it trans- pired they had all been lifelong. abstainers, and not one of the eleven had been sick from climatic: causes during the period of their rosidence in China. The coincid-| ence was so curious that they be gan. to compare notes on their gen- eral health, with the result that) they drew up the following little table, which one of the party has handed to ua for publication. The names of the gentlemen, who are all well-known Shanghat residents, are given, with their ages, .the number of years each has been In! China, and their weights. The table is as follows:-
