THE appointment of Mr. George Herpool, Azilag Deputy Superintendent of Police, to be Acting Capiala Superintendent, has been officially gazetted.

The Chinese Times tells a warm about a child who recently arrived in Englind from Tientsin, who when asked how her own country compared with China, replied in the language most famillar to her: Vin fien wu ti: Visi wu tim, which may be roughly rendered: "In the one there is heaven (or sky) without carth; in the other, earth without heaven." The expression, according to our Tientsin contemporary, flius- trates the epigrammatic power of the Chinese language, and does credit to the observing power of the infant. It is certainly true, adds the Times, that in this province at all events, li is only in the sky that one sees anything worth looking at,
