Edward proved a mystery to all except Mr. Boyd. His offence was that he had fallen by the wayside, and Edward, who looked a cross between a First Lord of the Admiralty, in his upper garments, and a bookmaker's assistant, in his nether covering, agreed that he had fallen heavily.

Edward attributed his fall to over

"People who follow your employment should not fall," decreed Mr. Boyd.

I am mistaken if it is not that of a steeplejack.

The neighbourhood of Knightsbridge is a well-behaved place; above all things it dislikes, pushing.

James, who came next, pushed people across the street, into the street, and into other people's doorways. And all in Knightsbridge! The power of the Law was hurriedly evoked.

I feel sure that no policeman has ever suffered so severe a shock as that which James provided.

"Move on, please," declared the Law tolerantly.

"Absolutely no," retorted James, in whom pushing had induced a thirst to which he had attended unwisely. "I-am irretrievably inebriated," he continued, hence the ambiguous movements of my amiss legs.”

Pedantic James paid 10s.

It was reported last week that the Shinfo (San Peh Co.) arrived in Hong- kong, without sailors, following trouble with the crew of the steamer in Canton The Shinfoo it appears, left Shanghai for the south for the purpose of towing the Heungshan from Hongkong. In order not to come here in ballast, the Shinton took on a cargo for Canton, and. from there it was intended to go to Hongay for coal, before coming to this port. At Canton, due to interference by CHALIAPIN'S DEPARTURE FROM the Strike Union, the sailors left the

We had, for example, the case of Ellen (surname inaudible), who entered the deck with that air of self-righteousness which women seem able to sasume even in the most damning of circumstancen.

Did you wilfully damage the win- dow?" asked Mr. Marshall.

"I did not wilfully damage the win- dow," replied Ellen politely and firmly. (Her name, by the way, might have been Helen, but what is an aspirate or so to a busy gaoler4).

He had intended to By to Paris, but at the last minute he cancelled his berth and went by train."
