'■Tho Canadian Government has had enough of tho DoukgobOrs and their eccentric ways. Between, thirty and forty men, women, anil girls of .this sec t recently , uituito a bcuflro of. their clothes, 1 and started to march , in .Eden-' lc procession through tlio streets, of Vorktnvn; with t'lio result; that some' Went 'to gaol and sonio to an Asylum. The lands reserved for'the sect have been •opened' for general settlement, and henceforth ,the importation of such communities liiul been discouraged. Mr diaries li. Flint,'.who'has beeii assocated with, air Charles Schwab in some big enterprises,, ■returned:to New York from Europe on September. 5. Ho was informed that during his absenco tho story crediting either him of Mr Schwab,'' Of both 'conjointly, with the task of ■" rebuilding the Hussiani navy had been revived, mid also industriously circulated iii Europe, Mr FJint said lie had been to Russia to canvass for orders. He was presented to tho Czar by the Russian Minister of Finance. ]twas judged, how-' ever, from Mr Flint's remarks that Russia, would place her orders with due'nn gard to economy, and tho question aroso whether American yards, with such high wages «s are paid, could bu Id aa cheaply as elsewhere. Although Mr Flint, iiko Mr Schwab, fa led to get orders to '' rebuild the Russian navy,"" or even for " tho formidable lino of battleships," which a l'ress Agency report from St. Petersburg r a shly gav e to' Mr Schwab, ho did not leave St. I'otersburg omplylwiuied. ConQdentifilly lie told the Tress representatives that the Russian Government had given him an order for " sevcsal ships," hut they are not liattloships. In the course of evidence before tho ltoyal ConiDnission on tho Police Forco in Melbourne the other day, Inspector Oleeson gavo sonvo advice to householders lioiv "to mislead burglars." lle.'erring to the fact that on .Sa;urdays a certain mtuJJ'r of the men in his division were engaged at football matches anil race meetings, thus reducing the olTcctivoncss of the force unler Ids control, lie said liousebrenliws usually took advantage of residents being absent at such Mills, anil raided premises. Tho worst thing that people on leaving houses empty could do was to pull down blinds and lock tho drawers in wlich valuables were placed. lVnwn blinds were an invitation to a housebreaker to enter, and locked drawers only tended to the smashing of furniture, in addition to tho stealing of valuables. Ho thought it advisable to leave even a door or window open. A house quite closed up indicated to a housebreaker that the occup ers were absent. A sheep was captured in tho bush nt Ilick's Bay recently with llireo - years' growth of wool on its back, It was shorn and slaughtered, the carcase turning the scale nt lSOllis. It is stated (says tho Poverty Bay Ifcrald) that tho Maori children in the Wnikaremoana district aro dying off rapidly. Much of this is duo to improper feeding. Diseased potatoes and rotten corn are not the best articles of ufant diet.

It is reported (writes the Taranaki Herald) th # t two local football enthusiasts made a friendly wager on the tour of the New Zealand football team in C 5 rent Britain. In order to have somo interest it was agreed that one should back the New Zealanders tit a shilling a point, the other to takje the points scored against them. It was anticipated that there would he little between tho wagers, perhaps the matter of a few shillings. However, as things a re panning out, tho wager looks decidedly had for one of tho parties thereto, To date the Xew Zen! n iiders have played nine matches, scoring 341 points, which at one shilling represents some £l7. So far only soven points have been secured against (hem, If the Xow Zftilanders keep up their scoring through the tour the prospect lootys decidedly dismal lei the party who is laying against them.
