We are sorry to find _The Globe_ making playful reference to the many postponements of certain music-hall revues. Mr. Justice DARLING will agree that these things cannot be postponed too often. *** "How can I distinguish poisonous from edible fungi?" asks a correspondent of _The Daily Mail_.

If they have been already gathered they were probably edible. *** It is now admitted that the conscientious objectors undergoing sentence at Dartmoor are allowed to have week-ends occasionally.
