According to Mr. ,1. AV. Collins, -the trade commissioner for New Zealand in Canada, the sister Dominion experiences a winter climate compared with which the coldest .lune day in Dunedin would be almost sultry (says the "Otago Daily Times”). During the course of an address delivered at a luncheon tendered to him bv the Dunedin Manufacturers’ Association, he told his hearers how. wearing a fur coat v.-eigii’nt; anil muffled up so that only his eyes were exposed, he went, bno winter's day, to a butcher’s shop in Toronto to purchase some meat. Ho knocked for some time before anyone came from the rear of the promises. He was asked why he had been so tardy in putting in an appearance. and was told somewhat sharply that if ho could not give better service his prospective customer would deal elsewhere. "Well, sir." was his excuse, “it. was so cold out hero, and my mate and I wont into the freezing chamber to have a smoke!"
