Carter, the Magician, while up coun- j try, astonished a certain vendor of Truit by revealing sovereigns in the seller's oranges. So convinced was the man of the reality of the " find " that he flatly refused, after several small pur- ] chases on the part of Carter, to sell the conjuror any oranges. When the magician's party had moved some distance ' away, they turned and saw the fruitseller cautiously halve, one after another, ' five or six oranges in the search for sovereigns. The local hon. secretary of the Navy i League asks us to draw attention to a book recently published in a cheap edition by the London Daily Mail, entitled "Our German Cousins." Whilst being free from sensationalism, the work is said to be interesting and instructive, and gives a good idea of the vast strides made by Germany, both from an artistic and a commercial point of view, as well as in regard to her naval expansion. It is estimated (says the Hawkes Bay Herald) that the .salaries to teachers in the Hawkes Bay district this year will amount to £4000 more than last year.
