The Salvation Army (with whose good work, if uot with whose methods, allmnßt be in sympathy) is establishing a " grace beforo meat soheme " to enable all thoao who wish to help them in the maintenance of the four reecne homes, one maternity home, and one discharged prisODero home, already established in the colony. Tho modus operandi is simple. They leave a box in each household, where acceptable! for the reception of the stray pennies of the occupants and visitors, and a duly accredited Salvation Army officer goes round each qnarter on a pilgrimage of collection. The establishment of the Bystem entails no burden on the contributors, while it is a great boon to the Army in furthering its phllantropio objeots. Boxes will be supplied by local members of the Army on application, and It is proposed that one shall be placed on the table of the recipients as a reminder to them when in the enjoyment of full and . plenty, of the necessities of their leas fortunate brethren.

Oar .Waipawa correspondent writing , yesterday Bays :— A rather peculiar acoident occurred to Mr Dan Moroney, ? licensee of the Exchange Hotel, about J five weeks ago, while helping to unload a 3 dray of firewood in his yard. The person „ in charge aot belog able to manage the bullocks, Mr Moroney had to get them in the yard himself, and afterwards helped '• ' to unload. While so doing his right loot c slipped on a piece of the wood on the l( dray, causing the foot to pass through one of tho boles in the bottom of the dray. In trying to recover himself his knee la came in contact with the edge of the is hole. He felt at the time that he was y severely hurt, but went on with the work a and took little notice of It afterwards till the knee ohd leg began to swell and 18 become much discolored, but still considered the Injury a bruise not requiring medical aid, After some daya he noticed jj a long swelling extending npwarJs from in the knee to the thigh, and evidently there was eomothlng that could be moved back and forwards, bnt v.lh little pain. « It did, however, give uceasiness and pain tf when on horsebacft a& the recent bnnt, so at last he called in Dr. Todd, who diag» ar noaed it as a very rare kind af fracture of id the femnr, the external condyle of the ill femur being separated from that bono and carrying with it a splinter of bone . from the mbln shaft to about Its middle IC Dr. Todd hos, 1 loam, done all that la t _ necessary to seouro a reunion of the frag-.' } ment of bone, but hcvine been left hoY J long without treatment of any kindof renders 16 doubtful if he will Bncceed in bo completing it, The ourlous feature of the !• afliir is how tho patient managed to go about and attend to his duties under c . bucu cirenmstanoes wlbhonb more eerlouß a . consequence?, and It looKa'raore like good a luck than good management that the 30 case has turned onb so well as it haa. al The Auckland Star says :— II is evident that the free demonstrations now being , d given at the Anckland Teohnical School ,|j are being much appreciated by the ladies n attending them.
