A place where there is no income tax, where the best cigarettes are 50 for a shilling, petrol a gallon. Scotch whisky 4/6 a bottle, and where cabbages grow four feet high, was described last Saturday evening by Dr W. Bryden at Christchurch (states the Press). This was the island of Jersey, where, he said, the climate was good, the sea warm, and everything cheap. The long cabbage stalks were treated and sold as Jersey walking sticks.

Describing the trials of school teachers of the early days in New Zealand, Mr H. F. Penlington stated, at a social arranged for the North Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Educational Institute on Friday night, that the teachers received merely five weeks at Christmas and two weeks in the winter, as holidays.. This, he suggested, had been most inadequate, and he gave a long description of the hardships teachers had to face when sent to isolated parts of the Dominion. Although the life might be hard and difficult, he said, it had been an excellent grounding for junior members of the profession.

Speaking at the National Dairy Association Conference at New Plymouth yesterday Mr W. M. Singleton, Director of the Dairy Division, said that the time appeared to have arrived when there should be some tightening up in the cream grading. This applied possibly more to creams now being graded as finest in view of the fact that such a comparatively small percentage of the cream was classed as second grade. Creams considered now to be only border-line finest could with advantage be relegated to first grade. It was believed that the giving effect to this suggestion was necessary and that it would tend to keep the quality of New Zealand butter from slipping.

The lecture to be given to-night by Mr G. Jaquiery on “Rambles in Fiordland” should prove of exceptional interest, particularly in view of the recent discussion regarding the route of the proposed Milford Sound road. Mr Jaquiery, in recounting many of his personal experiences while mountaineering in this district, will illustrate his remarks by numerous lantern pictures and geological diagrams, and will also discuss the theories of glacial origin formulated by the world-famous geologist, Dr Caldenius, while on a recent visit, and now for the first time made public in New Zealand. The lecture, commencing at 7.30 p.m. at the Boys’ High School, is under the auspices of the Natural Philosophy Club, and all persons interested are invited to be present.

Here is the sad story of an ardent supporter of the Australian cricket eleven who failed to sit through an account of the sensational events at Lord’s as given over the air on Monday night. At one stage of the vigil the tide of fortune was not favouring the Australians in their first innings venture, but when Chipperfield was making his fine stand the listener-in decided that it was safe to go to bed. A lew hours later, however, he was up and at it again, the first words which greeted his ear constituting further remarks about the doings of Chipperfield. “Chipperfield is still going strong,” he announced in high glee to the household. “The Aussies must be building up a mammoth score!” There came, of course, a great awakening. His return to the radio set had coincided with Chipperfield’s second innings effort.
