WEATHER FORECAST.

SECOND EDITION.

The Rev. D. C. Bates wired at noon to-day as follows:

Moderate to strong northerly winds ; glass fall slowly; weather probably mild and changeable.

The following comprise the Mangaramarama School Committee for the ensuing year :—Messrs G. H. Brown (chairman), H. G. Coome, W. Brown, F. Kerridge and Jacobs.

“I don’t know wliat to do with that horse,” said a young trainer to an old veteran, as they stood looking at a very thin horse. “1 have trained him and trained fiim, but he don’t appear to have any speed.” “Ever try feeding him?” said the old horseman, as lie turned away. Lady Palmer, the widow of Sir Charles James Palmer, who died at Dorney House, Bucks, left the following direction in her will: “1 have a great horror of being buried alive, •therefore I wish my finger to be cut, and bequeath £lO to any doctor who is attending me at my death for such service.”

Six deer, presented to the Buller Acclimatisation Society by Mr Chirnside, of Victoria, have arrived at Westport. The stags liberated in the vicinity of Giles’s Greek are causing the settlers a great deal of annoyance and loss. A horse was killed recently and another wounded. Some time ago one settler had’three horses hilled by stags, and another settler had a horse injured. The Westport Times says that the district is paying rather heavily for its sport. Dunedin City Council has paid as a solatium the .sum of £5 to a lady tor damage to her millinery. She had been m the habit of using a discarded hathox as a rubbish bin, and the other day the dustman took a similar box from her gate which contained samples left by a tradesman. Ou emptying the box the man discovered his mistake, and, says the Daily Times, “lie retrieved the ruined hats and carried them disconsolately to the lady of the house.”

Mr C. J. Norton, postmaster, has returned to Pahiatua, after enjoying a month s holiday, which was spent in Auckland City and the Waikato district. He visited Cambridge, and in company with Mr J. Luiidon, manager .of the Bank of New Zealand m that growing town, and an erstwhile resident of Pahiatua, visited the sanatorium, at which there were about 70 patients, who were undergoing the open-air treatment, with more or less beneficial results. Mr Norton was greatly impressed with the favourable situation ot the sanatorium, and its picturesque surroundings. He also visited the Wa ito mo caves, which were reached after a six miles drive over a muddy road from Hangatiki. He spent two hours'very pleasantly in exploring the caves, from the roofs ot which hang beautiful stalactites. Mr Norton returned home by way of the North Island Main Trunk railway line, and had a splendid view ot Mount Ruapehu almost covered with a snowy mantle, and Mount Ngauruboe in eruption, the passengers who stood on tlie carriage platforms being well sprinkled with the volcanic dust that was issuing from the mountain. Mr Walsh, who had acted as relieving officer in Mr Norton's absence, left for Carterton yesterday. SUCROSINE FED TIGS.

Secured over 100 awards at last spring shows. The fattest pig at the Christchurch show was fed oil Sucrosine, and was purchased by the Christchurch Meat Company for exhibition purposes. It is false economy to feed pigs altogether on skim milk. One pound of SUCROSINE to half a gallon of skim milk will give better results.
