BAA, AA, BLACK SHEEP.

One of the last stories in connection with the history of the King's Speech, and perhaps the least dignified is told of George IV when Prince Regent. That Prince, as we know, say a writer in the Strand Magazine, took his re sponsibilities lightly, and on one occasion la said to have bot Sheridan 100 guineas that, either owing

to the magnetism of his personality or the flutter which the veupants of the Lords Chamber were in so little attention was really raid to the verbal chamster of the Speech he was making that he could make any intarpola tion he liked, undetected. The bat was taken, and the Prince Regent agreed to introduce the words, "Bao, bas, black shoep," in the middle of the Speech. If anybody smiles or looks startled, I see my bet. This daring and ridionlens exploit came off, and at the close of a weighty allusion, composed by Lord Liverpool, to Wellesley's difficulties in Spain, the Regent cleared his throat, said," Ban, na, black sheep," hurriedly, and went on, without apparently exciting any remark.

AUSTEIAN COULT BALL ROMANCE. The ball which was specially arranged at the command of the Emperor Francis Joseph for the younger members of the Imperial Austrian House, and took place at the Schönbrunn Palace, was (according to a Daily Mail message from Vieann) a charming spectacle. The eyes of all present were attracted by the Aruhuuchess Elizabeth Frances, or "Effa," whose mother the Archdushes Maria Valoris, is the youngest and favourite daughter of the Emperor. Arcbduoless Ela, attired in a simple maslin frock, was thought to resemble closely the late Empress Elizabeth, after whom she is named. Contrary to the original arrangements, the Archdashess partner was the Arohdake Charles Francis Joseph, the young heir-presumptive to the throne. The news of this spread rapidly, and it is thought to portend that the Austrian people's dearest wish that the grandchild of the Emperor Francis Joseph should one day share the Austro-Hungarian throne may be fulfilled. The Archduchess is aged oightoos and the Archduke twenty-three.Y

THE BRITISH SHARE IN CHINA'S TRADE.

The Shanghat correspondent of the London Timtes, in the course of a review of Chinese trade, says

that British trade with China, in spite of From the figures published for 1908 it appears increasing and subsidized competition, fairly maintains its leading place. The fact that it doos up in the face of competition which too frequently reflects Protective" as opposed to

Free Trade" principles is to the credit of the British merchant and manufacturer, whose old- established reputation for fair dealing forms no small asset in the East. It is also satisfactory to note that in several branches of business British merchants are now showing landable enterprise and adaptability to new methods, and are reaping the reward of organized activities intelligently directed, In several instances (notably those of the Anglo-American To- bacco Company and the alkali business) most satisfactory results have followed the organized extension of basiness in the interior. The lesson to be learnt from such instances is that in the Chinn of today there is no place for the old-time "merchant prince"; that in a land overrun by Japan's keen-witted agents it will no One would rather like to know apon what longer serve to wait for orders at the treaty specialist, has founded his curious and interest. it may be our custom te mauntecture.

A TRAMWAY PIONEER,

To Sir Cliftor. Robinson, who has retired from his position as head of the United Electric Tramways, and is now on his way to the East, London owes a great deal. In spite of the opposition of those who thought they saw in tramway development a new means of exploiting municipal Sosialisnt, he brought the utmost munication with the cantre, and opened up to ends of Greater London in complete com the workers vistas of field and hedgerow. His scheme, too, of linking up the trams with the tubes has added greatly the convenience of London travel. Not only hue Bir Clifton been the pioneer of electric traction in London, bat he has introduced tramways in such other big cities an Edinburgh, Bristol, and Dublin, and has carried his entorprise and all to San Francisco and California. He has been throughout his life associated with tramwaye, for he began his career on the staff of the late George Francis Train, who at Birkenhead built the first tramway on this side of the Atlantio,

GIRLS FIGHT A DUEL.

A Berlin telegram of the 7th ult. saya

A duel between two girl students took place yesterday at Presterlitz, a small village close to the Austrian frontier. The combatants, who were studying medicine at Cracow, had faller in love with a dashing young medical student named Breitner, who made love to both of them in turn, and avoided becoming engaged to either. The rivalry for his affections excited violent hatred, which led to a quarrel and the exchange of blows. The two girls considered themselves bound by the game roles z

In these color blows demand the of blood, and a dual is the inevitable quence of a hand-to-hand fight. Consequently. Ilonca Iluotzky, who received the first blow, challenged Olga Metzeroff, who struck her, by conding two other girl students as her seconds, Olga Moisecofi obtained two ware girl students as her seconds, and the four seconds arranged that the duel should take place in German territory to evade the Austrian authorities,

After the duol the combatants and their party- were to return to Austria is great haste to avoid trouble with the German authorities. The conditions arranged were pistol shota at fifteen paces, to be exchanged nutil ons of the two combatants became disabled. The four seconds arranged an interval of three days to enable the duellists to prac tise pistol shooting. The duelling party orossed the frontier at sunrise and proceeded to a secluded spot in the forest. The principals took up their positions, and one of the seconds gare the word of command. The two com batante exchanged four shots before either of thom was hit. At the fifth shot Olga Metzeroff received a wound in the left shoulder, and fell in the snow fainting and bleeding profusely. Two girl medical students had come to render first-aid in case of necessity, and after bandag ing the wounded girl she was convored back. to Austria and faken to her home. The victor, Iloncs Ilanlaky, was the recipient of enthusiastic ovations from her fellow-women stodents.
