Some people may say, why did ho not change the venue and Bleep inside the house of his wife? Thereby Jiangs a tale. It appeal's his wife had a protection order; and, when on '* his arrival from the country, he attempted '" to roust under the house, she 'ran him in.' In the dock he pleaded'to her to let him off, Lut she was obdurate, and lie was sent up in the. Black Maria to the Kyber Pass for a change of air, :'.' Those who haveseenaneighty-ton gun, known also by its alias of Woolwich Infant, will perhaps be interested to learn the exact cost of owe of these mon- £ ster pieces of artillery.

An eighty-ton gun, ihwi—or rather to bo particular, the eighty-ton gun-ordered to bo made at. : ~ , 'Woolwich by an authority dated 26th ' , April, 1878, cost precisely £1)026 13s lljd . ..'•• Of this sum £5507 lUs2-jfd represented the .jljptofthc material used, £IS ( J7 9a labor expended on it, and £852 what iadescribed as "indirect expenditure." These figures will, 1 think, be a surprise to most people. No wonder war has become in modem days an affair of pockets as well as prowess!— Figaro. Writing on the Chinese Mission a contributor to tile Now Zealand Presbyterian. Bayß:—Notwithstanding the absence of a religious mind, it is not uncommon to find anion? the Chinese a semi-educated man who, whenever he is driven for an explanation of something strange or difficult, is ready with some phrase about "Fate" or "The Gods," the mere utterance of which is supposed to settle the matter. Such are the common sayings—"Npthjng follows man's own calculations; ■b his whole life is arranged by fate j" ' 'Wife, )\ Wealth, children, pay, are all predestined; '!lf a man's fate is to have only eighttenths'- of a pint of rice, though he' traverse the world over, he will not get a full pint;" jobberies, thunderbolts, falling walls, {ind. fifes coma at the call of fate.' ? \V)ien , jpnßound Hjll.ono day,l montioiied, • Wh (tango cireuiiwtamio to a m,nn, who, replied,-"Tho gods appointed it," Of Confucius things at his'birth, |u|N ft yPP pn'lMheao' "merely transparent imitations of the Hindu legends {•elating to the nativity of Buddha," The legends say, "On the night when tho fiHiWps born, two dragons game and kept watch on _ the right and left pf the hill, apd two fairies appeared in the air pouring out fragrant odours, as if to bathe the mother,.
