A treat to lovers of good tea, Hyslop's Pure Ceylon in lead pockets. — [Advt.j A movement of very considerable international importance has just been initiated in America. It has as its object a new translation of the Bible, which it is proposed (says the Yorkshire Post) shall be published in a unique condition. According to Professor PauLHaupt, of John Hopkins University, who is now in England in connection with the work, it is proposed that the book shall include not Only the Old and New Testaments, but the Apocrypha, the Peendepigrapha, and the four fisdras and the Psalms of Solomon Each of the 36 books will be assigned to a competent scholar, and their translation will be accompanied by explanatory notes and pictoral r< presentations on a more magnificent scale than has ever yet been attempted. The books of the Old Testament alone will comprise two volumes, each of which is calculated to contain 1000 pages, and the entire Scriptures will fill six volumes. The work will be unique in this respect—it will contain a feature which Professor Haupt claims to be the author of, andwhich consists of the printing of portions t belonging to the documents from which the translation is made in different colours. In this way it is considered that the reader will be able to tell at a glance the period when the lines were compiled, and from what source they were taken. CADBURY’S COCOA. The Medical Annual advises Practitioners to remember that when reoolnmending Cocoa as a food and beverage for invalids, the name Cadbury on any packet of Ooooais a guarantee of purity. The Victorian Government statist, in his report on friendly societies, remarks that many corrections and alterations have to be made in numerical and financial returns sent in to render them suitable for publication. The inference to be deduced from this it that the system barely holds its own, and that were it not for constant and skilled official supervision enforced by law, chaos would soon reign supremo. Appended to the report is a statement of the numerical and financial strength of friendly societies in the Australasian colonies, the figures running thus Victoria, 88,134 members, funds £909,604 j New South Wales, 63,793—£394,6201 Queensland, 16,165—£102,195 ; South Australia, 80,289—£249 832 } West Australia 774—£9301 ; Tasmania, 8692 £69,623 j New Zealand, 26.013—£430,544.

The finest tea the world produces is Hyslop’s Pure Ceylon Tea in lead packets.— (Adtt.J During the past few weeks most of the houses at Zeehan have been overran with bush rats, a small black inoffensive looking creature, but one that is very destructive to goods. At one business 'establishment a few days since, over 80 were killed in less than one hour, and a sufficient number escaped to give many euoh hours' employment in the future.

According to his usual practice Mr Gladstone, when in Liverpool on a recent Sunday, attended ohuroh and read the lessons.
