Mr. E. J. Le Grove, of Wellington, is at present in Hastings. Cabled from London that Prince Albert is suffering from measles at Dartmouth. It is interesting to note in these days of small families (says Friday’s •‘Otago Daily .Times”) that the prize given by the fruiterers at their fourth annual picnic for the lady with the largest family on the picnic ground, was won by a comparatively young-looking woman, who, although having left some at home, produced nine children for inspection by the judge. She was accompanied by her mother, husband, and two sohs-in-law and three grandchildren, and they made a fine, healthy, and intelligent-look-ing group, which would be a credit to any community. Another interesting point was the difficulty which the judges had in coming to a decision as to which was the heaviest baby under 12 months old. Two babies, a boy and a girl, drawing the same weight dressed, had to be stripped and weighed without clothes. The boy (almost seven months old), proved the winner, turning the scale at 23flb, beating the girl by 4oz. NO HOME WITHOUT A PIANOI To make and keep home homely you need a piano in it.
