A WARNING.

TWO SIDES TO A QUESTION. To the Editor. Sir, —I noticed by your Hawera Stir there was space allowed for public discussion. I hope you will permit me a I little to discuss about the "Labor in general." Although it is the general conversation among farmers, I thirik there are some troubles that will outdo others. It'touches one's dignity when they hear it £aid so often, '"I couldn't stay there any longer because they treated me. badly." But 1 notice they never say for what reason; therefore there is the other side to be heard." It is not verj^ often that a person has to guard their girls (not exceeding six years of age) from tne evil ways oT 'half the youths knocking around,from plaec to place, but such has been the case in one instance. TSveryone employed! here gets treated like gentUsmen until 'they start to rule,the farm or attempt'to take advantage bf innocent one's on it. Some, of your readers may. think' this exaggerated, but I think I ought to know what I am talking about before letting this go to the press.

Successful experiments with a new system of transmitting telegrams which may revolutionise existing methods have been made by the Paris central telegraph office. By means of the Meroau-dier-Magunna system, as it is called, 18 employees were able to use the same line at the' same time to' 6end their messages. An extension of the multiplex idea will shortly be instituted, and a considerable economy will thereby be effected.

A ferocious mosquieto, nearly an inch in length, is among the discover-oe Dr. Eric Mjo berg, a Swedish scientist, has made in North Queensland, where for nearly 11 months he has been studying the relationship of the lower fauna to other fauna. Dr Mjoberg also secured ground scorpions six inches in length. Far from being deterred by such pesfcs to mankind, Dr. Mjoberg intends to return to North Queensland early next year and make further investigations in the extreme north of Yorke Peninsula. He enthusiastically declares that Northern Australia is one of the most wonderful fields in the world for the scientist. Dr. Mjoberg has nearly 40,000 specimens. Four oppossums not to be found anywhere else in Australia, so far as Dr. Mjoberg knows, were obtained. One is black and white, with a white ring around the. arm, and another has an olive-green far. The green is a protective coloring, arid resembles the moss that covers the trunks of trees on which the opossum lives. The two other specimens are non-leaf eating, and subsist-on grubs, honey, and bees. Dr. Mjoberg captured several giant butterflies, their outstretched wings measuring 10 inches across.

Beetlenut, son of Peralta, won the big trot on the second day of the Ghristchurch meeting in 4min. 43sec, two miles. Breeders should not miss the chance of using such a good sire ac Peralta, /while they have the opportunity. . *

In Idaho, America, the State Dairy Inspector sees that not a drop of milk is sold that is not bottled at the dairy where it is produced. The dairies have been photographed, good and bad side by side, and the dairymen are induced to do more from a sense of pride than they would have done by being obliged to obey rules and regulations they do not like. Inspector Wallis says:—"lf we find bottles of milk with sediment in them we don't have to analyse the milk. We just seize it for pig-feed or destroy it."
