NEWS AND NOTES.

Three Government stallions have been broueht up from v^he South Island to winter at Momahaki.

The Fire Brigade beg to acknowledge the sum of £3 3s to their funds, donated by Mrs Macguire, of Empire Hotel, as services in connection with the late fire.

The Fire Brigade has decided to erect a bell temporarily at the corner of Wilsonstreet, and telephonic communication will will be arranged for between Mr Parkinson's store and the station.

Country teachers who have been to tbe Wanganui Summer Sohool speak in term 3 of satisfaction with the arrangements, and the value of the information and instruction received.

At the Police Court, on Thursday morning, before Messrs Fake and Haughey, J.'sP. a maori named Mura was charged with drunkenness. He was convicted and discharged, and a prohibition order was also granted against him.

The carelessness of 3ome insurance agents is demonstrated in the window of a Wairarapa commission agent's office, wbere appears a notice to the effect that a certain property is for Bale for £240. In the same notice appears the interesting information : " House insured for £250." This is surely a bargain — for the insurance company.

A valuable draught horse was strangled at Ballarat, Victoria, in a peculiar manner. The animal had been backed on to tbe weighbridge at the Bay market with a load of hay, when the bellyband became unfastened, and the animal was hoisted inito the air. Tbe horse died a few seconds after being released, having been choked by the collar.

One of the troopers of the Eighth Contingent, who left Wellington on Wednesday, determined to leave nothing to chance, so he gained an hour's respite jnst before embarking, and in that hour married the girl of his choice, accepted the many congratulations, bade farewell, and was in his place in tbe ranks when tbe bugle Bounded.

It is stated by the Hastings Standard that ranholders in Hawke's Bay are experiencing the greatest difficulty in procoring musterers. The departure of so many men of this class with the various contingents is responsible for the scarcity which is beginning to be severely felt. As much as 15s a day is being offered for good men without eliciting much response.

Another important discovery has been made at Pompeii at the same spot where recently was found what was believed to be the mummified body of the elder Pliny. The latest find consists of a grand Roman villa, one room of which is filled with objects of Greek and Roman art. These include a bronze statue representing Genius with a torch in her extended right hand the whole being of superb workmanship. There are also four most beautiful Etruscan vases and models of various descriptions, beven other rooms were found to be full of cereals and other foodstuffs. Further explorations of this particular corner of Pompeii is expected to yield rich results.

That there will be more New Zealanders in London this year than in any previous one is apparent (says the Auckland Herald). In the offices of oversea companies any day may be seen groups of intending passengers, eagerly scanning tbe plans of Homeward-bound steamers. The local agents of the Oceanic Steamship Company state that the number of applications for accommodation on the steamers leaving this port in February, March, April, and May have more than justified their most sanguine expectations, and that the great steamers' paesenger accommodation will be taxed to their utmost in both first and second cabins. Tnia is not to be wondered at considering that one can make a comfortable trip to London, and return for a little over £91, or to London via San Franoisco, and home, by any of the Suez lines, for about £85. Accounts from Sydney also point to record numbers of passengers booking via San Francisco and other routes, while doubtless the present Germanic Anglophobia outburst will tell heavily against the German lines out of Sydney.

THINK IT OVER.

Is it not within your knowledge that a weakened run-down system is more readily open to the attacks of pneumonia, consumption, and even of paralysis? Does this not suggest the importance of maintaining bodily vitality ?
