He believed be was on a mission to England " to obtain a magic box by which he wmld be able to turn all .the crowned heads of Europe (Queen Victoria excepted) into cats." The exception of Queen Victoria showed that some patriotic sentiment still lingered in his mind, but no doubt the poor Czar wonld regard the queer idea as an added torture, so far as be was concerned.

A Norwegian named Lee Samaelson was lately charged at tbe Willlamstown (Melbonrne) Police Conrt with having nneustomod goods in his poseesslon. He bad been disoharglug one of the China boats, and took s!b of soap from an open package and was going ashore in a boat when ha was eeen landing by the Customs officers. Tbe accused pleaded guilty, avd Deteotive Christie said that the amonnt of duty was la B,d, and instead of asking for a fine treble tbe valne of the goods he would take the other alternative, and aek for a fine of £100 Mr Neale, Chairman of the Bench, declared that it was monstrous to Impose a fine of £100 for evading duty to the amonnt of Is Bd. There was an element of latceny in tbe case, perhaps, but tbe defendant had not been charged with that. The defendant was then fined £100, in default six months' Imprisonment, and removed to gaol in default of payment. In the S.M.

Mr Wayte, Government Dairy Instructor, lecturing at Glsborno, made a few remarks which are worthy of re-prodnc-tlon. He Baid milk, us it came from the dow, if she wns healthy, was usually 3terlle, or free from geim°. It did not long remain co, how< var, tor it waa at 3nce subject to miny Bourees of contamination, whereby myriads of bacteiin )bta|ned a footing in the warm and intrient fluid. The air of the cowhouse was apt to be fouled by enormous numbers of germs, and these got into tbe milk as soon as drawn. A dirty condition of the cow's bally and udder, a dirty state of the litter and flooring, uncleanllness of the milker's hands and clothes, cleaning out the cow~houßß Immediately betore mllkiog were all conducive to the spread of bacteria to the milk, As soon as drawn the milk should be taken outside the cowshed to a olean, cool place where tbe air was comparatively free from gnrms, and strained anew, and cooled. iEratlon of the milk was very necessary for driving off tbe gases, end should be done while the milk was warm. In conclusion, he pointed out that milk might sometimes contain disease germs when drawn from an unhealthy cow, or when the milking was done by persons suffering from infectious diseases, and so spreading the malady. This had been proved frequently, and though he did not suppose there was nearly so much danger in New Zealand as In some other countries, it was always as well to take the precaution to boil the milk before use. Onr Waipawa correspondent writing yesterday emphatically asserts that his reporb of the Waipawa County Council was correct In overy particular, although necessarily abbreviated, and adds in answer to a letter appearing in yester day's Issue: -"Mr Sldey says I did not grasp the argument!. I think I understood It very well, and so would most of the oouniy ratepayers, when they read even my abbreviated report. The object of Mr Sldey was very plain, no less than to make the whole county pay the interest on the local loans. This he said in various ways during tbe discussion on the various rates proposed to be levied The reason he voted against the Umatoaroa loan proposals whs simply an ebnllition of temper in consequence of his being three times defeated la his efforts to save his own district and Dt&nevltke trom paying the interest on the looal loans, All that was proposed was a general rate for the whole county, a separate rate for the merged dißtriots in Hen of Road Board rates, and interest on the local loans In those districts j and hi« assertions regardIng Ma warning to the Umntoaroa settlers iq the letter nnder notice are incorrect and misleading. He says he wished to call tbe attention of these settlers to the liability they wonld incor by the Council's action that day, and implied that tbe Conncil had raised the rates this year, whereas the Council had reduced the rate over the whole county by Jd, and the Umutoaroa aettlers will pay less rates this year than they did last year, as well ai all other '
