Frozen Mutton.

Sitting on the right of the Prince of Wales at a dinner given by Lord Carrington in England, a few months ago, Sir George Dibbs was asked py his Royal Highness “whether he noticed any chmge in the physique of the women of England.” Sir George admitted that he had noticed a change ;. the woman, he thought, had improved in physique, and were ta'ler and better developed than their Australian cousins. “How can you account tor that?” the Prince asked ; “because we have noticed it a good deal within the last ten or twelve years.” “It’s easily accounted for,” the Premier replied. “If you just think back one moment you’ll remember that it’s only the last ten or twelve years that Australian mutton has been obtainable so much in England.’ Toe Prince accepted this as a leasable explanation, and declared that henceforth he would invariably use Australian mutton. This (says the ‘ Sydney Daily Telegraph’) is a well authenticated story, for it was told by Sir George Dibbs at the gath ring at the Pastoral and Finance Assocatiou’s warehouse.
