of the will of Mr. H., F. House.
Much comment has been caur- ed by the statement that, under så clause in his will, all the treasur- fed quarto editions of Shakespeare which were collected by Mr. Henry Frederick House, a retired India civil servant, are to be burnt. A leading article has been written questioning "The Right to Destroy" a Shakespearean scholar has publicly expressed the hope that the clausa may be joveniled; and the Times itself made, ia the opinion of one who kaew Mr. House, a most unfor- tunate and unfair inference that the, probable reason for the clause is that others should not avail themselves of the testator's notes) and comments or profit by his labours."

A. moment's reflection would have shown all these critics their mistake; and any friend of Mr. House, had he been consulted. would have told them at once that it was utterly inconceivable that he should have directed bis treasures to be destroyed. What has led to the mistake is the generosity with which Times" uses its commas. There are no commas in a will and if therefore instead of “all his ed itions of Shakespeare, with his ... Canada, Japan & Shanghai MS. notes, shall be burni." we shanghai read "all his editions of Shakes- peare with his MS, notes shall be burnt,” wé shall see clearly and correctly Mr House's intentions.

A Home Press respresentative was informed at the Admiralty the other day that the dumps have notonly been busy in putting Mana down the slave traffic, but also stopping gun-runaing, which is occasionally attempted.
High prives are paid for the slaves, who are captured from the coastal tribes and sold to the Arabs, who take their victims in- land. The Clematis said an offical, is still at Perim, the i-land at the entrance to the Red Sea, and the Cornflower is now at Malta refitting.
In a comn.unication to thei Marine Society, an old War-pite boy tells of some exciting experi- ences in which he has been eng axed on the Cornflower.
