THE A. AND P. SHOW.

We are glad to see that. the leading members of the Manawatu Ai and P. Association haye recognised the attitude we took up about'the Show dates as'the right one, and are doing their utmost to retrieve tho unfortunate position they are in. It ds to be hoped that some arrangement will be made with;kindred associations along this c6a6t,;.cven.if,tht) local■ association has;to:contribute towards tLe^jßosttof altering tlie-dates, for ,the; present state of affairs is a rory unsatisfactory idiie.r As. to }«hi)-is.; to blamp for the muddle, we do not care to inquire, but it is'atf extraordinary thing: ihat no one should have noticed that the rule states that our Show shall be held the week after Christphurch.

A Dtmedin visitor to Napier just nov relates that a great dilliculty is beingej perienced in the Otago capital in gettin domestic servants- Evidently the pn vailing epidemic of ping pong has affec ted this department of the household One applicant for a position was showi tho various facilites for the kitchen, in eluding tho kitchen tablo. "Oh she im penously said, " that's not half t>i. enough to play ping pong on." And sh flounced out in high disdain. Professor Pearson, a biologist, has re newed the investigation into the questio: of the relation bet-ween size of Imad an' intellectual preponderance. If th" work ing man has a smaller head on ih average than the professional man, Pro ressor Pearson points out. that the dif ference is due to better nutrition. 1 series of researches of wide extent re suited in the conclusion that very bril liant men have a head slightly large than the average, but Professor Paer. oi adds that the increase is so small thn it cannot form any element in our judg ment of ability. For some weeks past (writes a Tara naki correspondent to the Wairarap Daily Times) wo have at long interval: hoard a prolonged rumbling noise, com mencing loud and gradually decreasin; in volume until it dies away. It his : muffled sound, and suggests a subter ranom explosion. Very ltttle notici was taken of the occurrence until lasi Friday, when it was exceedingly loud much more so than on previous occa sions, and was sufficiently startling tc give rise to wonderment We are anxious to know whether Egmont i preparing to treat us to a second editioi of the Martinique disaster. The Church notices for the week ii connection with All Saints' Church con tamed the following announcements :— Service at Fttzherbert East on Wed nesday at 7 45, services next Sunday a Komako 11 a.m., Awahou 2.30 p.m. Kairanga 2.30 p.m., and Linton 11 a.m with the Holy Communion ; also, Holj Communion at Sfc. Peter's, Terrace End at 8 o'clock. Notice was also given o the meeting to-night at the Fire BrigacV Hall for the purpose of forming a brand of the Society for promoting Bibli oaehina in the State Schools. Kaikoura ia eonyulsed over a sqnnbbL between a bank manager and a ininistor arising, as such things usually do, out o a very small matter. At a church bazaa: a voto of thanks to a person who hat assisted was carried and the Pres byterian minister in a conversation witl the banker in his office, oppressed ar opinion that the vote was invidious other parties who had given as great hel} being ignored. The manager wrote i letter to the press giving a version of the interview which the minister characterised as false ; the banker retorted in v two-column letter, sectarian jealousies have been invoked, and ths undignified disputo fills all the available space in the local paper. The Lyttleton Times says (hat on Sunday morning, just as a well-known Christchurch butcher was preparing to go to church, with his family, his plans were upset On replying to a hasty knock at his front door, he found a rues gener there with a request that he would kindly supply a lady customer with some me it, as her safe had been robbed during chs previous night of aleg of pork, a hindqunrtpr nf mutton, and some pork chops, which had been laid in on the previous day for the Sunday's dinner. The knight of the cleaver set to work to supply the order, hut scarcely had the first messenger left tie shop when a second_ arrived with the news that his master's safe had also been robbed, and a fresh supply was therefore required. Mr D. Charter, secretary of the Palmerston North Brass Band, has just received a letter fronfljient. T Herd, of Wellington, re tho New Zealand Band going to England, stating that he has received applications for membership from some of tho best players in the colony, including several good local players, and a start will bo mado this week to place shares. It is not generally known thatSonsa's Band cleared £24,000 in England last year in a very short time.. This speaks well for the chances of success of our'''Kep. Band," especially when the popularity oi anything from New Zealand is considered If our band can make one-third o£ the above sum it will pay handsomely. It has been decided to raise £3000 by means of shares of £10 each, the wofits to be divided amongst subscribers (or shareholders), and most of the applicants for membership have stated ;heir willingness to take up shares. The band willgive concerts in all the largo towns at Home, and will probably take part in a few contests, including the Crystal Palace Contest, the' chief prize of which is £1000 challenge trophy and about £50 or £60 cash, ~ ' xh* opening of the now portion of the Cuba-street Methodist Church was celebrated yesterday by holding special services. The Church was crowed, especially m the evening when seating accommodation was taxed to its utmost; The Rev. A. C. Lawry, of Feilding, was the preacher for the day and preached eloquent and impressive sermons at both services. In the evening he took for his text Revelation of St. John 3rd chapter^and 20th verse, "Behold I stand at the,door and knock: if any man hear my'voice and open tho door I will come mto him, and sup with him and he:with, me." Tho singing and niusic; was a feature :of the services the congregational hymns, which were appropriate, being joined heartily by the congregahon.

By thi3 means a ready market li will be found for the surplus poultry of b those who are engaged in the industry, at the same time householders will be c sure of getting birds fattened and fit for . ( table use. Wo understand that the f Association have more orders than they r can fill and as all birds nrr sold by j weight, the grower gets fuU value for . his produce and tho consumer full value ! for hid money. Poultry is delivered to ! any part of the town at a few hours' ( notice, dressed and fit for table. Orders j aro also taken for delivery daily or x weekly as required. This is likely to 3 grow into n big thing and should be . hailed with satisfaction-by poultrymen t and consumers nlikw—Advt. | A LOVELY WOMAN 3 Is tho fairest flower in the garden of humanity.
