ine danger 01 playing with dynamite caps was (says the Auckland "Herald") illustrated by a case at recently. A seven-year-old boy, Ivor Kelly, who lives with his parents 'in Hutton-street, Otahuhu, was handling a dynamite cap, when it exploded. His right eye was severely injured, and he was taken to the District Hospital. It is not known yet whether the sight of the eye will be lost. A cigar presented by the German Emperor to Lord Lonsdale, and by him to a fentleman living at Hambledon, was sold y auction at Henley-on-Thames Christmas Market in aid of the local Bed Gross Hospital. ,■ It realised £l4 10s. A correspondent writes Home from Heilbronn, South .Africa, on experiences during the rebellion. One farmer had a valuable stallion and refused to let it go, saying that he would shoot it dead rather than let the rebels take it. They went away that day, but said they Would return with an order from General (?) Britz. They came when the farmer was awav in Heilbronn (his farm was onlytwo'miles out). His Wife, Mrs M., seeing dust on the kopje showing, that horses were coming, got the stallion" out of the stable and put it into her bedroom. She took the carpet, up and emptied mealie sacks and straw thickly over the floor. The rebels came and searched, but could riot find a trace of it, a a the stable was clean and unused to all appearances. ; Later pri Mr.. M. returned and went, of couTse, to look at his stallion. "When.he found the stable empty he was mad" with rage, but his wife said; "Go and have a wash, dear; it's no good crying- over spilled milk." He went into the bedroom, -where he saw his dear horse, which whinnied when it «aw him. It was a>od to'hear him tell the story afterwards. A start has been made-by the Railway 'Department with the construction of the bridge which is to be built ; n ferro-concrete at Onehunga, says an exchange, a. he railway runs under the approach leading irom 'Onehunga to the new .Mangere Bridge,'and the new structure is to replace the , old wooden one , which now spans the-railway. It , will be. 50ft wide, the same as the approach, i A very solid'foundation has been laid for the new bridge, and "stonemasons are busy building up the front with massive stones jointed with cement. Extra space has been allowed for trains to "'pass under the new bridge, and it is the intention of the' Railway Department to lift the rails and straighten the lines' from' a point about 200 yds above the approach.
