London, December 5: WORKING LATE IN THE CITY. The humorists who delight in jests about the early hour at which they allege City men leave their offices should have been in Bis- hopsgate during the small hours, last week-end.

It was the practice, apparently, of an Irish Lord Chancellor on taking office to convert the silver of the old seal which became his property, into some ornamental -vessel for his table decoration.

I learn that the wire monteith which Sir Richard Cox thus ordered to be made from the seal of his to appear predecessor in 1703 is at Sotheby's on Friday.

INDIA'S ANCIENT POMP

The pomp and circumstance | with which Lord and Lady Willing- don have been received in Mysore by the Maharaja is typical of that State. Although one of the most progressive and Westernised of Indian States-20 per cent of its revenue is spent on education-- Mysore is the home of the tradi- tional pageantry of Hindustan,

The festivities on the Maharaja's birthday and during the ton festal days of the State Dussera" are magnificent spectacles.

Canton, Dec. 25. Mr. Wong Yang' Chung, secre- tary of Mr. Hu Han Min, in an Interview with the reporter ges- terday stated that Mr Hu will probably proceed to Nanking to serve for the country in case the "eight" points mentioned in his manifesto on Dec. 15 will be put into practice and there is no one

There is an interesting legend about the sack of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453. The priests of St. Sophia were surprised at early celebration by the invaders.

It is said that it will remain closed until Christian worship is once more restored to this ancient shrine.
