The river Rhine (lows three times as fast as the Thames. The United States surpasses all Europe in the manufacture of paper, its production amounting to 1,330,000 tons per annum. Germany produces 423UOU tons; England, ' 260,000 tons; France, 190,000 tons; Austria, 155,000 tons; and Italy, 120,000 tons. A somewhat amusing incident occurred to a down train last Monday morning (says a "Wairarapa paper). Just before reaching Matarawa there is a crossing from one paddock to another, and a farmer was driving his cons across in a leisurely manner when the train came along.' Tho enginedriver whistled and slackened down, but "Biddy and "Daisy" and the rest of the cows strolled carelessly along, and the train pulled up altogether. A move was made again, and one cow went along in front of the engine, defying the "cow-catcher." More speed was put on, and the cow went faster. Speed was slackened again, an:l the cow slackened also, but still kept on the right-of-way t The fireman was doing some good shooting with lumps of coal, but failed to register a "bull'seye." At last, after a good run, the guard dismounted from the train, ran ahead of the engine, and cleared the cow off into a small stream where she stood calmly watching the "rural train' crawl off at its usual speed. No one was in a hurry—onlv a branch line—and no one in the Vairarapa has a right to be in a hurrv on the trains now. The Andrew Dressmaking and Millinery School.
