"'Who that England know who only England knows.' We are not certain of the precise verbality, but thus the poet sang."

"Leader," B. E. Africa.

The "precise verbality" is merely a private trouble of the poets.


From an official notification in The Shanghai Municipal Gazette:—

"Where mosquitoes cannot be exterminated by abolishing stagnant water or by the use of kerosine oil, or by reporting their presence to the Health Officer, the mosquito net should be carefully used."

Elderly bald Gentleman (to mosquito): "Now I've warned you once; and if you sting me again I shall report you to the Health Officer."
