THE "WEEKLY PEESS."

— A fair proportion of the spectators who wero assembled in Cathedral Square last Wednesday to see Miss Ethel Julius's wedding will find themselves in the picture of "The Crowd afc tho West Door," published in this week's "Weekly Press," and two other pictures show "The Guests at Bishopscourt" and "The Wedding Party." The wedding has aroused interest in Norfolk-Island, t»he headquarters of the Melanesian Mission, and six views of this are given, including the Mission Church, a view in the Mission Grounds, which are very beautiful, the Landing Bock, the town of Kingston, a group of missionary women and Melanesian girls, and a characteristic picture of the remarkable Norfolk Island "Pine. An interview with Mr W; Laing, of Opawa, who has lately returned from the island, accompanies the pictures. A curiosity is the new Canadian stamp, which marks the initiation of Imperial Penny Postage. A subject treated in a pleasing style is the "Progress of a Young Settler's Farm in the New Zealand Bush," which is well described by "Old Settler," and illustrated with three pictures showing the successive stages on the roaS to prosperity. Spirited photographs are engraved of the Building Trades? Picnic Drags, and the cars loaded with passengers for the Sumner Gala Excursion; and some attractive views accompany the description of "Featherston: a distributing centre of the Wairarapa." A highly practical article in the Farmer explains to New Zealand dairymen how the Canadians feed for milk production; and will be attracted by the brilliant summary of the discussion that was lately carried cai in the "Weekly Press" upon Sheep Breeding in New Zealand. Among "Bullseye's" notes will be found Lord VVolseley's views upon the Soudan Campaign, and the varie<l reading in the literature section includes a smart little story of an unfit new chum and his experiences as a sheep-farmer in Canterbury. 26
