A HAPPY JUXTAPOSITION.

"CHEAPER MATCHES. | FRESH LIGHT ON THE KAISER'S PLOTS."

From the report of a Royal investiture:--

"The first officer to mount the dais was Major ----, who wore
the broad-brimmed slouch hat of the Austrian Infantry."

_North China Daily News._

A souvenir, of course.

"OH NO, THANK YOU, NOT WITH THE _FIRST_ PIECE."
