The Christchurch Press says :—On Wednesday night a meetirig of non-associated flour millers was held at Timaru, at-which tlie South Island mills were fairly well represented. The object of the meeting was to discuss some means by which a better state of things than those now prevailing in the trade may be brought about. It was agreed that with wheat at its present price there should be a substantial- advance in the price of flour in order to save millers from carrying off at a loss, but the meeting decided nothing definitely, it being agreed that no action cam be taken till it is ascertained whether all the mills will act in unanimity.

A "Malvern Farmer" writes to the Christcliurch Press as follows: —"I understand that the shooting of seagulls is now prohibited by law. Can you kindly inform me whether there is any exemption allowed on farms' during the lambing season? I recollect that Sir J. Hall made some efforts in that direction some time ago. Yesterday a lamb was found on my farm with one eye and its tongue pecked out, evidently the work of one of these birds. The lamb was alive when found. Comment is needless."

'Citizens have rights that are paramount to those of a street car company." There is no reason why one should suffer more with sickness in summer than in winter. But summer drinks are snares of th devil. The custom of constantly dosing the stomach with ice-cold drinks in summer is simply suicidal. When thirsty in hot weather one should drink water at from 60 to 65 degrees. At this temperature itquenches the thirst much better than icedwatsr. —Dr Wiley, quoted by the Argonaut, San Francisco.

The Otago Daily Times says:—ln some t>f the more outlying districts in Waihemo and Waikbuaiti Counties hares axe becoming very numerous—so much so that some of the farmers find them a greater nuisance -than ever the rabbits were. However destructive bunny may have been, he never aspired to such athletic exercise as leaping rabbitnetting fences to please his palate with the tender bark of young fruit trees, as his more fleet-footed brethren are doing, to the damage of orchards and the consequent trial of the farmer's temper. In some portions of the Central Otago district, as well as the back districts of Waihemo and Waikouaiti, hares are multiplying in numbers so rapidly that the question of their destruction may be a serious one' in the immediate future. In these districts, of course, the law allows the killing of hares at all seasons, but still they multiply. A graduate of Cambridge appeared before the Wellington Benevolent Trustees recently in a dilapidated state, and asked for some boots and clothing. He stated that he had written 185 folios describing some wonderful experiences in lAustralia, and Guy Boothy, the novelist, had written to him stating that he- would use the manuscript. It appeared that he had been doing odd jobs since his arrival in Wellington. The trustees decided to give him a pair of boots and some clothing. Mr Thomas Wilford writes as follows to tbe_ Wellington Post:—"l noticed your notification re Goodwin being stranded in London through a bogus advertisement in reference to funds awaiting claimants. I was instructed.tojniaterinquiries during- my visit Home in reference to estates advertised in a. well-known 'lndex,' the address for applicants in that 'lndex' being 67, The Strand. I went to 67, The Strand, and found that it was the Tivoli Theatre. Inquiring at 66 and 68, Strand, only proved that I was one of the many who. were looking for No. 67. Comment is needless."

On Friday morning the signalman afc the Kaiapoi bar, while crossing the bar (c-ays the Press), noticed ' a case floating. On picking it up he found that one side was covered with wire netting, and that it contained two snakes—one Bft long and the other sft.. He reported the matter to the police. People who have, seen the reptiles say. they are carept snakes. It is probable they have been thrown a ship, and been washed ashore by the strong easterly weather. It was recently reported that a visitor to • the colony was accompanied by a number of pets of this description, of which these may be part. .No other Liniment will heal a cut or bruise so quickly as Chamberlain's Pair Balm.
