Somebody, a half-caste got a "character" m the New Plymouth Court the other day :— "He is," said another witness, "half-caste by birth pure and simple, but m all his habits he is European as he can be, for he is as mean as they make them. He won't part with a sixpence for anything whatever, unless he is going to get something out of it." That settles it , he's a New Zealander. Waimateites were recently treated to a dense free stink, said stink emenating from a Chow's laundry. The Inspector of Nuisances made investigations, and found that the Chow was too tired to take his ! dirty water and soan suds outsido, and had bored a hole m the floor, and noured it through there to save ! trouble. He was fine, for his laziness, and now carts the refuse out to a well some few yards away. The stink is neaiiv as bad as before, and if, when the warm weather sets m, the typhoid cocci, or spirillum, or b.-iHeiin, or whatever it calls itself, will simply revel m that -"-nil and the •-•Wilation of the •V;.iu...te cemetery go up accordi wgly.
