Notes and Comments.

Tins is the latest good story. In a certain town in New Zealand a missioner was addressing a crowd at a street corner. Speaking of tho corrupting, influence of sin, he illustrated his subject by showing what the. codlin grub did to tho apple, notwithstanding a fair outward appearance. 'A passer-by arriving on tho sceno said to one of the crowd, "What's up? What's lie talking about?" One of the crowd: "Well, he is saying we are all affected with fodiin moth."

Spumous coins are now fairly thick in Wellington (says the Time's), and many tradespeople are in the habit of looking twice at all coins—especially half-crowns and liorins—before finally depositing them in the till. Not long iigo -,\ well-known local hotelkeeper discovered a bagful of bogus florins "dropped in a hurry" in his backyard, ■though why they 'were thus left ho could not say. Southland, Cbristchurcli and Dunedin exchanges also occasionally allude to the same sort of thing. Feilding folks should now look twice at their coins.
