The train was side-tracked at the slightest provocation. It was held up at Peftsang for an hour and a half after the shades of night had fallen.

Remarkable evidence was given at an inquest at Dover on two victims of a motor-cycle collision which occurred on the Dover-Deal road. The riders, both "of whom died in Dover Hospital on the morning after the accident, were Peter Somerville Fearon, seventh son of Colonel Fearon, of Walmer, and Stephen Gibbs (18), of Deat

This rider had no light, and was going at about 60 miles an hour. He passed witness's handle-bars within

They are con- stantly falling out of the child's mouth, and being replaced with a certain amount of dirt and disease germs, particularly in
