LOCAL & GENERAL.

_ The monthly meeting of the Mothers' I'mon was held yesterday afternoon in the Diocesan Library, when Mrs .Mules presided. Mrs Can" of Richmond, gave an interesting address and compared the advam-tages of mothers of our la.nds wiih tlio.-e of India. A young man who stood in the- prisoner's dock at the Christ church Supreme Court on .Monday had had. according to his counsel (Mr Herdman). a most "remarkable career, says "The Press." He was horn in England. and afterwards visited America and South Africa. When tlie war broke out h# was living with his brother in South ' Africa, and he joined !>:abant's Horse. Later on lie joined Kitchener's Horse, and became galloper to ill' Commander-in-Chief. He had apparently distinguished himself during his mi'itai'v career, as he- became a King's Sergeant, -and for bravery in the field was recommended for the' Victoria Crn.-s. lie was ultimately <nven the Distinguished' Conduct, medal for distinguished con duct in the Held. At the conclusion of the war. out- of consideration for lifs wounds and his conduct, he was awarded a life pension of 3s. which, if commuted, would probably entitle him to £BOO or £9OO. He had been three times wounded while serving during the war. Three Half-.irown- buv a Ho user Costume! !

Auderseholi, the listinguished Norwegian ,-u'ientist. all di-eases and injuries are registered on the iris, either by colour, spots, or lines, i aeh organ of the body being connected uu with the iris, and having its representative place there. The right eye is the indicator for the right part id' the body, and the left eye the indicator for the left half. Tile new system of diagnosis 9 is said to have been discovered by Pr- lessor Peozely. of Poland, who. in his boyhood, caught an owl. nud the bird's igiit leg was broken. The buy directly i ■: ticed a black stripe in its right eye. He kept the bird, and found that when die fracture was quite well the black line lis ippeared.
