"The advent to the episcopal bench of Dr. Russell Wakefield—the only Anglican Bishop on record to wear a moustache with a clean-shaven chin—does not appear to have aroused so much comment as the appointment of Dr. Ryle to the See of Liverpool in 1884. It was then said that the new prelate was the first Anglican Bishop to wear a beard for over 200 years."—The Daily Chronicle.
Dr. Russell Wakefield, of course, has not worn his moustache for a quarter of that time.
From a Hong Kong tradesman's circular:—
"Eggs! Fresh Eggs! and Tasteful Eggs! For Sale.
These eggs are exceedingly pure and fresh, and can be proved by looking at or breaking them. The yelk when boiled—smell sweet, the white—glistened, relished, and favourable to health as well.
Try our taseeful eggs as their quality bears.
Come! Come! Come! and try to have some."

Second Winter Sport. "Yes, it's all right; but you needn't rave about it like a bally poet."
