Snakes are unusually plentiful near Sydney this season. One that had evidently been brought to the city with a load of firewood was killed near the central railway station last week. Mrs Neal, a resident of Bathurst, had a bad fright a few days ago. Entering a bedroom in which her two young children had been put to sleep, she found tho reptile—a brown one—by their bedside, and pulling them out of the way rushed to a neighbour's house for assistance. The neighbour returning with her, found, the siiako still thero. and despatched it.

Indignation is expressed by the Victorian branch of tne Britisti Medical Association at remarks made by the Melbourne Coroner (Dr. Cole) at a recent inquest concerning death from anaesthesia. Dr. Cole said, amongst other things, that "even tho medical profession must" respect human life. In resolutions that wero earned at the last meeting it was stated that such remarks if persisted .in would deter surgeons and anesthetists trom operating in critical cases. It was agreed that deaths under anaesthesia should bo reported to t"ie Coroner, but to report such cases in tho Press o-.jy frightened patients, and thus greatly increased the dangers of anaesthesia.

Tho hardships and perils of a gumdigger's lifa were revealed at an inquest held at Auckland on Tuesday on Alfred Barchard. an elderly man who was found in a dying condition beneath an olfico in Newmarket on Saturday. Deceased was once lost in tho bush for several weeks during winter-time.

A letter received" in Auckland this week from New South Wales indicates that in the country districts tho trials of the Australian summer are worse this year than usual. In addition to heat and dv:;, tho summer has brought with it a- great plague of flies, and in tho Riverina and the westorn districts the (lies aro so bad that it is impossible} to venture abroad without fly veils. In somo of the country towns these veils are not procurable, and people are compelled to wear preen parlands round frheir hats, and pieces of cork dancling on strings from their hat brims. Even so. cases are reported of pconlo beinjj bitten and' stuns; almost to a state of b'indness. and two specific instances aro mentioned in which horses were so maddened by .fly bites that they had to bo shot.

Tho Aucklard tramway men are very busily engaged this week in holding meetings of tho different departments to consider tho fresh demands they intend to make next Christmns. It is proposed, after all tho departments h.rro considered their resnective sections of the agreement, .tnd have arrived at a decision, that their suKCjestions and recommendations will bo submitted to a special general nicotine of the wholo of tho members of tho Union for their further consideration. Once agreed to by tho whole urion, the demands of the different departments will bo scheduled and submitted to tho Tramways Company for its consideration. It is stated (says the Auckland correspondent of the "Otago Daily Times") that tho men are not seeking very much in repard to increases in their pay. and that there aro only minor difficulties which need adjustment.

Some humour was imported into Tuosday's damp proceedings at tho new "Wellington Post Offico when it was discovered that a modern Mahomet's coffin, in tho form of a largo lift-load of people, had become suspended between Heaven and earth because something went wrong with the works. The cago resolutely refused cither to ascend or to descend (says the "New Zealand Times"), and the predicament of the passengers beeamo comical to the crowd who thronged tho stairs ar.d landings. Sympathetic observers procured buns, and succeeded in handing them through tho bars of tho lift, with a view of keeping, up tho spirits of the imprisoned passengers. When finally power was restored ami the people emerged, they declared they had boon there for nearly half an hour. Among those who suffered detention wero a well-krown councillor and a genial ecclesiastic.

Tho broken English of two Attstrians j concerned as principals in a civil oaso which was b'eforo Mr" Justice' Edwards at the Auckland Supremo Court on Tuesday was tho cause of considerable levity in Court. In opening the casefor the defence, Mr McVeash explained that doubtless considerable difficult j' would bo experienced in getting tho defendant to speak so that ho could be understood. There was practically no one in Auckland who could speak both tho English and Croatian languages fluently, and thus it was impossible to obtain tho services of an interpreter. Such interpreters as were available could not speak English any better than the witnesses. When the defendant stepped into the was 5 somewhat slow process obtaining his evidence in tho form desired, owing to his limited knowledge of the English tongue. "You aro not a stranger to this Court in its criminal jurisdiction ?" queried tho counsel for plaintiff of' witness. Tho latter stared blankly, failing to grasp the question. Tho Court laushcd, and his" Honour requested counsel to submit his question in loss loßal phraseology. "They don't use that liuviunco on the eumfields," remarked his Honour.

A meeting of ex-Imperial Navy men was held at Wellington, on Tuesday evening, when an association to bo called the lloyal New Zealand Association of os-linperial Navy Men was formed. Mr E. Tregear presided. Tho association (says the "Post") considers a necessary and effective supply of recruits for the Navy and Reserve should be obtained by formins a Boys' Naval Brigade in the chief centres of New Zealand, from which fit and willing members could be selected for tho naval training shirs of New' Zealand, and thenco into tho Imperial Navy for five years, after which they would form a reserve of inestimable worth to the Empire; also young seamen now exempt from military training with Eome instruction in gunnery, and members from the Boys' Naval Brigade who do not join tho Imperial Navy, would, upon joining the Royal Navy Iteeerve, bo a valuable asset, while the knowledge and discipline acquired would bo bcaeficial to themselves and tho Dominion. Efficient instructors from all branches of tho Service aro readily obtainable threugh tho association. Any Bchemo promoted' for naval defence will receivo all possible support, both practical and moral, while* every endeavour must be mado to obtain a standard of efficiency second to none in tho Empirn. The whole influence and ability of this association of trained and practical men shall be entirely devoted to this object of supremo national importance.

There is a moremont afoot in the Dominion at present to form a Catholic Federation, by drawing together tho various Catholic societies into ono united body, to take joint action in all matters affecting Catholic interests. Speaking at tho fortnightly meeting of the St. Aloysius branch of the Hibernian Society" at Wellington on Tuesday, Bro. W. Kane, district secretary of the Hibernian Society in Auckland, referred to tho formation of a Catholic Federation in New Zealand similar to that already in existence in Victoria. # Mr Kano. explained that tho institution in Victoria, which had the approval of Archbishop Carr, was proving very successful, there bcin 2 already over two hunrirf-d branches formed. At a deputation to Archbfahop Redwood from tho Auckland brnnah of the society, his Graco was p'.caeed to rive tho movement his function and approval, as did also Bishops Grimes, Clcary, and Verdon. The District Board in Auckland decided that having secured tho approval of the Hierarchy, tho schemo bo rut into operation as soon as possible. With that end in view the executivo communicated with tho bead offico of the Federation in Melbourne, asking for the necessary information and papers. Tho various branches tff the H.A.C.B.S. are to be communicated with by circular, twkin'j them to establish brandies in their districts. As soon aa these aro formed (snys tho "Poet") a conference Tviil bo held, and a Dominion executive elected.

Tho Westland County Countil on \V edncsdny referred to its chairman (Mr Grimmond) tho uiakine of preliminary arrangements to celebrate the jub.leo of tho Hokitika rush in 1911. A meeting of old pioneers is to bo called shortly and a programme drafted. Early closing of shops on Saturday appears to bo a success in Sydney. MV R. H. Bowie, of Titnaru. who recently visited there informed a Timaru "Pos.t" reporter: "Everybody seems well satisI tied with it. Tradesmen keep open till ' - 10 o'clock on Friday nights. People* do their shopping on Friday nights.. and the shops are crowded as though it were Saturday. The shopkeepers seem very well pleased with the arrangement. Most employers pay their irajjcs on Friday. , ? It appears that West Australia has _ J added to her already great wooded wealth by tho discovery of ebony. A party has, a report Irom Perth st.ites, proceeded to Parry Harbour, in the great North-west, to procure a load of ~' - tho timber. Ebony may bt? found at • i many places along "tho coast, but doe:, not appear to extend any distance iulard. Tho wood does not exceed IQin - , in diamotor, and about 30 per com. <>f tho trees do not contain ary ebony. About 15 per cent, only contains good, sound obony, and about 50 per cent, is damaged by wlrito ant and water rente, but 15 per cent, of tho obony could bo used tor small articles, such as keys » for musical instruments, knife handles, and other things. Ebony is tho heart . of tho timber, and varies in size from an inch to six inches in diameter. About 40 per cent, does not excerd 3in. It does Hot grow straight, but straight pieces up to Oft or 4ft long arc plentiful, and may bo had up to 7ft long. A lot of labour is necessary to freo the ebony, as it is surrounded by f about 3in of outsido wood. Just ns summer is fnst Approaching a riso in prico of whisky nnd soda U threatened in Adelaide (states a lecal paper). .Since tho award of tho Wage? Board appointed to deal with tho rates of pay and working conditions of om- ' ;' ployees of hotels and clubs tho licensee* have been at their wits' end to mako onds meet. They are now arrnnpinc; between themselves to demand 9d for a whisky and soda, or Is 8d if two nor- ,"> sons require a similar refresher, When Questioned ns regards tho effect of thi.s prico on one leading city hotel proprietor said: "Well, tho only people ~_ likely to ho seriously affected will be •■»,, tho manufacturers of aerated waters, ai y thero aro very few spirit drinkers who V will nay extra money for their soda. They will drink iced water with tlu» liquors, and that will mean a serious fallin£-off in.the production oF aernte.'l - waters. There was recently some talk cf a strike in the aerated water trade -„ - owincj to the hours being two long chir-"«_ v . mc tho summer months, but when this new tariff for drinks comes into open- , tkm. I don't think there will be nnv further discussion in that direction. It ■will bo a serious blow to that indus--■' " try."

A valuable hint from America lias- 7- „ been accepted by llio ]>cpartnienb cf -' , Public Health in Victoria, and blecpj" . munic pal councillors aro likely to reap * an early benefit from it. Dr. B. H. Waters, of tho Now York City Health = l - Department, has directed attention. ,to 'J "pjionograpn lectures" on tuberculosa. * The records are manufactured by a Xf-w ' > York firm, and have- received tho" approval of tho 'committee on tho proven- •*. i tion of tubercu.osis appointed by tho \f Charity Organisation &ocie:y. Tho Melbourne "Ago" says that copies of two r littlo lectures have reached Dr. Ham, . who thinks tho idea an excellent one. So tho possibility, is that, with the ■' " State-Government's approval, a distri- -/' bution of phonographs will take place, ; nnd the Councils, combining pleasure - " I with instruction, will libtcii to tellmß remarks by Dr. Ham on tho perils ot *» I the dust,-'rats and flies, ami a variety, " of other subjects on which they are not^ ■ properly in ♦ touch with tho Department, of Public Health. Iho scheme .. offers considerable opportunity to the "' department to reach tho cars of tnmli* " J cipal authorities, whom it requiring a littlo judicious promptingto a proper sonso of duty. '' , ' ■ Exactly why aa assisted iron, jraat v ■ ,'■ should bring a motor-car with hui to Victoria is not, on tho iaco of it, ojv ; parent (says tho iicioournu "Ago" "of <;"■ the- Uih inst.). An immigrant is, ot course, entitled to own a motor-car, bufe .. the owner 01 a motor-car bhculd not »v i - entitled to travel out to Vμ »ria tf.tb— the assistance ot tho State. Conscqueut^"iji' ly when a huge cate, which had «?!•', f', dently been constructed ror a "4body, was claimed by one of the **£■>• ' bisted passengers, tho immigiaLon • cinls promptly reported the matter tho permanent head or the Depart*,**! ment.

Tlii-Mavor and members of theTimaru ' ftnrou''h Council intend to visit Dunedia na Wedneiday next, for the purposo of - inspecting the new motor 'buses, which jtarted running at Mornington thi3 vre*k.

Objections on the ground of irrelevancy were rather numerous whilo the ■ A+toraey-Ccncral was opening tho S<Sr Case (says the "Fos:"). At last ono of tho objectors became sarcastic, and when tho learned prosecutor was • reading extracts from tho minutes of tß e Merchants' Association, ho remarked :—'•Thoro is something hero "about the Daylight Saving Bill. Perhaps that will be useful to my learned frend." "My learned friend will probably want it before- the case i? finishrd," was the retort. "Wo shall etartat 8 o'clock to-morrow morning." X . very gnod instance (says the "Manawntu l>aily Times") of how the ■ beaches along tho coast, and pr.rtirnlarly between the months of the VVangiinui and Wangaehu rivers, aro beinjr built up from year to year is the wreck of tho Wanganui-Australian trader Ururoa, which went ashore a few ' miles south of tho Wanganui Heads ■bout four years ago. When the vessel went ashore it was almost low tide, and abo quickly became embedded in the ennd and was covered at high -water, but now all that remains of tho staunch •ressel is high and dry against tho snndlvlls, and is only reached by tho son when it is exoopJ/onally rough. The only parts of the hull that are now visible is tho bow, -which is protruding npsido down, from the sand, and several Eirj?e pieces of her sides that aro scattered among the driftwood higher up the coast.

' PRISON LIFE IN MtfNTENEGRO.

- ' The central prison at Cettinje is probably tho most easy-going- in the- - , world, the "Chronicle" says. No walla - surround it, and tho inmates, who fur- , - liiah their own cells, just as they pleas©, " seem to stay there only because they find their quarters comfortablo. Tho Art is liberal, with wine on occasions ■ -and always cigarott.es.. There is uo work to do, no distinctive garb is worn, and comparatively free intercourse is ! ai'ovml with the outside world. On l certain feast days, indeed, the prisoners aro • evea allowed to entertain .fnonds! '

PAID' TO SEE BOWLERS.

The Australian bowl'ng teams were introduced to some ideas which were quite fcovel to them during their recent

The question of "a gate-" has always been looked upon as something to be avoided by the colonial iicwlers. and the majority of players ■ egw that this :s just as it should be. : lo show tho popularity of the colonials at Home, it may he mentioned that on two occasions an admission fee of Is - ' wa* charged, and on another 2s 6d, and „ notices to tho ofToct that the "green was full" wore- posted on tho gates before tho proceedings commenced in - each instance.

THE NEW "STAT?" HTCVCLES AS XMAS PRESENTS.

Christchurch was designed by Mother Nnturo as a city For cyclists, and it is still nn open question whether this city or the American city of Buffalo has most bicycles iv the world per thousand of population. There i? no doubt that a cycle is essential in Christchurch, and as the medern binycle is an equally good servant for cither pleasure- or liusinrss, it follows that nn up-to-date wheel is quite tho idoal Xmas present in this City of the Plains. Messrs Adams Ltd. know by ppst experience that this fact is very fully re-cognised, and following their usun) Xmas custom they have imported a largo shipment of bicycles, which represent tho last word in vnlue at tho prices asked. This year's Xmas shipment, which has arrived ex tho Tainui, consists entirely of tho latest English models of the celebrated "Star, tho machine which hns borne a sterling reputation throughout New Zealand for tho past twenty years. Beautifully finished, light,' strong, and very nicely fitted, in the ladies' and men's roadster models, with mudguards, freewheel, and two reliable- brakes, these ln'cyclos would bo excellent value at tho old price of £12 10s. Wo have, however, cut tho price clown to bodrock, and offer these (inn machines at £~ 10s. Tho juvf-nilo "Star/ , specially designed for the boys and girls, has tho free-wheel, mudguard, and double brako equipment of the adult models.
