A paragraph recently . appeared in 1 the North Otrlgo Times stating that a considerable mortality among singlelambs was being experienced in the dainaru district, apparently from, a new disease. An old settler of the district informed a representative of the paper that the disease has been prevalent, oft amt on, for many years. It is an affection of tile kidneys and bladder, due to the iambs oveivfeeding on succulent pastures. The settler stkted that if the sheepowners Were to turn their lambs in to. poor pastures, the mortality would cease. In the course of conversation, . a Stratford resident, ivlic. attended the Royal Show at Palmerston North, expressed surprise that no attempt was made by the business people t* that town to celebrate the holding of' the first Royal Show . there (states the Start-ford Pest). With one exception, none of the shops were deco-rated, and there was no indication outside the show grounds that anything exceptional was taking place. There was a poignant sequel to a “nature talk” which a Brighton teacher lately had with her class of yoiing girls. For the purpose- of the lesson each of the children was. given a cherry, and when the lesson was over cherries were distributed among the best-behaved of them. Orie of tKe children ,tc. get this gift of cherries for gdod behaviour was Clive Strong, a girl of six years, who ite one of the cherries and died shortly quest that, a .cherry stone had lodged in 'the girl’s, lungs., and that this was the cause of death. In tlie last two hundred years (according to a writer in The Times), Eton and Oxford have had seventeen Prime Ministers. Mr Baldwin is the first Harrow boy to hold this high office since Lord Palmerston. The Inst preceding Cambridge man was Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman. In an analysis of the new Cabinet Eton has pride of place with six old boys compared with Harrow’s five and Rugby’s three. Winchester and Merchant Taylors, of the other old schools, claim one each. Prom the University point of view it is an Oxford Cabinet, with twelve men from that ancient, seat of learning, including four from Balliol and three from University. Cambridge has three, all from Trinity College. These figures may not. be exact, as they have been computed. 1 hurriedly,, and complete particulars of the education of some of the. newer Ministers are not available. The Harrow boys are Messrs Baldwin, Churchill, Am cry, Sir Samuel Honre, and Viscount Peel Eton’s six are the Marquess Curzon. Lord Salisbury, Viscount Cecil, Sir Douglas Hogg, Messrs W. C. Bridgeman and E. P. L. Wood. Balliol College, Oxford, claims the Marquess Curzon, Sir Ramsay Steel-Maitland, Viscount Pele, and Mr Amefv. and Trinity College. Cambridge, Mr Baldwin, Mr listen Chamberlain and Mr Bridgeman. Does your baby’s food turn sour duriiig digestion? Give the little one Sharland’s Pluid Magnesia.
