She arrived baok in Sydney from a two months' sailing cruise recently Instead of coming on to New Zealand aa waa hoped. The Sydney Morning Herald states that It is likely that she may be tent on a long stretch of Balling of from 4000 to SOOO milea via Fiji.

In the oonrsa of a report presented to the Nojth Canterbury Board of Ednoation, the Board's Inspectors pointed oat that home work tends to develop Indrietrloas habits, and to keep the obildren from Icflaerjces under which they might otherwise fall, The report eono'udes :— "The liksome borne Ie«»on may be avoided, bat a still worae thing may befall tbo c who thne gain extended opportnnitlea for acqalrlng the aooompllanments of the manly larrikin, or beoomlng familiar with the waya of the gentle spieler.

The obildren a festival at S>, P<joTs yesterday In celebration ol the anniversary wa« a great mooese, there being orowded congregations at the three nervloee. tn tbe morning the Rev, Mr Dodds delivered a short addreaa on "My Jewels " to tbe large nnmbsr of obildren present, Tbe subject of the sermon wbb " Home Religion," and it was mnoh appreciated. The choir of ohlldien, consisting of 60 voices, sung special bymne, and the effeot proved tbe able conductorship of Mr Griffin. Mr Rennud ai organist Is also largely responsible for the excellent result attained. In the afternoon the service of song entitled " Probable Sons" -was rendered by the choir of children, and was very prettily and Effectively accomplished by them. Tbe solotit, Master Elmes, acquitted hlmielf well in hla efforts. Mr T. K. Martin read tbe connecting story, At the even* Ing service the Rev. Mr Dodda again preaohed to a large congregation, There were special collections dating the day In aid of the Snndaysohool funds, and the appeil waa liberally responded to, On the sutjjot of manual tralnlDg and technical laarrnotlon attention Is drawn in tbeannnal report of the Minister for Education to the fact that the annual reports of the several Education Boards ttX rd no reason to believe that any great activity is being manifested in the development of that kind of elementary manual training, which, under the operation of the Act of 1895, la now reoo? nlsed as being part of tbe proper eduotlve work of the primary sohoolo, and whlcb, while Including kindergarten oconpatlin and " sloyds," is oapable of wide development In oardboard work and in the conatruotlon of models In wood and metal as DluetriUoca of many subjects of eclentlGo Instruction. Id allowing oapltatlon grants to technical ■ classes It baa been deemed better lo err rather on the side o! a too liberal Interpretation of terms than oi that of nndne strlotness : and after tbe example of the Solenoe end Art D'puttrent in London, to recognise such sabjeota as aborthand and bookkeeping and even classes that might filrly ba considered bb answering the purposes ot a continnatlon school, Bat daises for primary sobool work have not been to reoognlaed, nor dostcs for Instruction of pupil teacbera, Speoial grants have been made to technical class associations as follows :— Auckland £100. Glsborne £30, Dnnedln £450, and Inver* earglll £50. A grant of £80 was also made to the Chrlstehnroh sohool of domestic lnßtrnotion, That nnhappy colliery strike in South Wales still oontlnues, and the eoffjrloe of the strikers' families 1b beaoming acute (wrltea tbe London oorreapondenb of tbe Otago Daily Timet). Yet there seems little hope of a tettlement. Even the ablest ot the journalistic orgarjs of tbe L»bor party admit that the buiinesa la being as hopelessly and helplessly muddled by the men es were the Cibmen'a and engineers' atiikea Their leaders not only display no capacity for organlsa* tlon, but in many respects exhibit an utter ignorance of tbe primary conditlona of the situation. As a Liberal paper caya :— " The men were to inferior In strategy to their opponents that though tbeir attitude la perfectly defensible on the merita they gave tbe masters an opportunity of patting them in the wrong at the V6ry first conference." Briefly, tbe point wbloh tbe men are trying in a curiously blnnderlng, muddling wny to nrge la that their wages should not be at tbe mercy of a sliding soale according to prices wbloh would enable their employers to cut prices and reoonp themselves at tbe expense of the men by lowering wages below a definite "llvlogwage mlolmnm," That this possibility is a grave reality was proved by the eventa which led to tbe gteat coal strike of 1893, Coal-owners ate eddloted at times to outilog prices In order to Bcore off tlva'a, and under tbe eliding scale system the men are the sufferers. But they will have to improve their organisation and seoure abler and better informed leadera If they are to esoape defeat aa disastrous as that whioh successively befell the cabmen and engineers. The following reaches ub (London Daily Mail) from a correspondent In touch with the Vatican ;— Leo XUI. had the highest admiration for Mr Gladstone, whom he regarded as the greatest Englishman of modern times, and duilDg tbe Illnesß of Mr Gladstone bis Holiness followed the dally bulletins recording the condition of tbe great statesman with the keeneet sympathy. Hia death Is the oooaston of great grief to the Pope, who feels that he will follow Mr Gladstone at no distant date. Tbe Pope baa on several occasions told Monslgnor Angell, his private secretary and confidant, that he wonld die soon after the death of one of the great ones of tbls century— that la, after the death of either Qaeen Vlotorla, Mr Gladstone, or Prince Blimarok. It was therefore with great caution that Cardinal Rampolla broke the news of Mr Gladstone's death to him. The newa reached the Vatlotn abont 11 o'olook, while the Pope waa at mass. After mass Cardinal Rimpolla entered the Papdl apartment and shortly afterwards Informed the Pop?, who said, " Requiem eUrnam dona ci Domine,'' to wblon the minister replied " Amen," Hia Holiness was mnoh affected. Last Fiilay he requested to be kept dully Informed of the health of (jieen Vlotorla and Prlnoa Blamarok, Hla mind la tnnnlng on bia own end, and a frcqaent remark of bia to Monslgnor Aegell ia, 11 Remember Pins IX amended to heaven * month after Vlotor Emmanuel."

The (entries wero doubled through tbe night prooedlng tho memorable twe fth. The pan o! defeaoe was prepared by tbe cffiaeri, and all details for a bloody and fearful engagement were dlsonsaed. A treoob was made by meana of a couple of hundred of bags filled with earth, and behlod this everytbiog was Id readiness for biioglog op the heavy pieces of artillery to shell the town. A stile of commotion pervaded tbe precinoti of the fort, and feverish excitement pievalled la the haatlly-inmmoned Coanollor War In Pretoria.

The Johannesburg tffiolals pooh-poohed all the reports of the secret agents, bat had to submit to the decree of the supreme authorities, and bold themselves in ieadi« ness for action.
