IMPROMPTU PUNS.
It is unnecessary to dwell upon such features of the situation as the Chinese endeavour to procure the break-up of the sextuple group; the indication that the Germans, in combination with certain London banks, were prepared, in thoevent of the dissolution of the group, to make an independent loan to China: and the charges levelled against the French, who were stigmatized as allowing themselves to be used by the Russians to block the toan, that the sinister policy of Russia in regard to Mongolia might be for The real turning-point of the negotiations was the character of the safe.

This course was adopted because of the difficulty experienced by the bankers in handling a metter involving political considerations. The siz Govern ments supporting the banking group were chiefly concerned tha: the loan should not constituta a difficulty in the future, sud it was more fitting that provisions that were in some sense political should be handled by the Legations than by the bankers. Thus, while the bankers were discussing figures and prices with the Finance Minister, the six Ministers were the with arranging the saleguards Foreign Minister. These were provided by the Chinese agreeing to reorganize the Salt Gabelle, with Chinese and foreign co-directors in charge; by the institution within the Andit Department of a foreign a foreign loan section in charge of auditor; and by the appointment of a foreign adviser to the Audit Department, It will be at once realised that, while the difficulty of obtaining Chinese acceptance of these conditions must have been con- siderable, there was also the delicate question to be settled between the six Legations of the nationality of the Foreigners to be appointed. Thus, while the reorganizations schemes were agreed upon with the Chinese, the question of the actual appointments was left to the end, the six Ministers fearing to com- plicate the negotiations proceeding be tween the bankers and the Finance Minister by introducing a subject upon which there was room for a wide difference of opinion, not only among themselves, but between themselves and the Chinese.

To a company Pepe once said that a pun was a species of wit so-triflingly easy that he would engage to make one on any subject proposed offhand. "Well, then, Mr. Pope," said a woman who was pre- sent, make one on keel hanling." Quick as a flash he replied. "That, madame, is indeed putting a man under a hardship."
Spence, who tells this anecdote, deems it well to explain that keelhauling is drawing a man under a ship. He then falls into an cestasy of admiration.
What a ready invention must the man have had!" he cries. "One could hardly have found a more crabbed word to exercise the punster's faculty",
Theodore Hook once bragged that he would make a pun on any subject

Early in February, however, agreement on practically all points had been reached. and it only remained for the Chinese to submit the names of the foreigners they proposed to appoint, for the approval of the Ministers.

After many months his friends heard. that he was in a state of destitution far from where he had landed. He could give no account of his conduct or his ex- periences. He returned to England, and after careful nursing and rest he was ready and willing to work. He had lost his Government appointment, but family interest got him a private secretaryship in the Colonies, where he rapidly showed His ability, and was valued highly."
