In reply to a question asked in the House of Commons it was stated that the cost of the ceremony at Delhi of proclaiming Queen Victoria Empress of India was £65,000.

No less than four tons weight of valentines were this year returned to the Dead „ Letter Office in London. This is not surprising when among them were such articles as. a lady's wig si a. baby's powder puff, a carrot, a pair of boots, a sausage, and a pig's tail.
