“New Zealand occupies the unique position of being practically the only country in the civilised world where the quality of the liquor is not tested in the public Kars (stated Colonel Bell recently at Mangakahia.

The small farmer is fined heavily if ho is caught adulterating his milk; there is no such fine imposed on the man who sells adulterated or low-grade liquor.” —During the year ending March 31, 1821, England spent £26,000,000 on National Insurance, £76,000.000 on Education, and £31,000,000 on Poor Relief. Thirty years ago Education and Poor Relief cost, together, about £18,000,000. A perfect fossil of a wasp, identical in colour and form with the insect wc know to-day, has been found in Colorado. It is supposed to be thousands of years old.
