Nearly 5000 subscribers have contributed £SOOO to a testimonial to be presented to the Prime Minister of England by his constituents in East Fife. The" presentation was to have taken place at Blebo on the 22nd inst., Mr. Asquith having represented the constituency for 25 years.

An exchange says a mother sent this somewhat satirical note to the teacher of her small son: "Pardon me for calling your attention to the fact that you have pulled Johnnie's right ear until it is getting longer than the other. Please pull his left one for a while, and oblige his mother."

A clergyman, referring to the discrepancy in the attendance of children at secular and Sabbath schools at a Presbyterian Sabbath school social at Bal* clutha, said he hoped the time would arrive when a paternal Government would make religious instruction compulsory, and that truant officers would be appointed for Sabbath schools (is they were for secular schools.

Remarkable confirmation of state- , ments reported the other day relating to the condition of the teeth of the people of the Dominion is afforded by the experience of Dr. Thomson in the medical examinations under the Defence Act. During last week he examined over 200 young men, and cyily in three cases has he found a perfect set of teeth, while in the majority of cases the teeth arp, he found, in a simply deplorable state.

From all over New Zealand the chief electoral officer is receiving claims for enrolment, from electors. This iB because his name is at the bottom of the forms. The instructions that these claims should be sent to the electoral officer for the district are quite ignored.' Some thousands of the claims have been sent in erroneously, and it meanß, in each instance, that they must be sent back to the registrar of the electorate from which they came. A little thought or observation on the part of the electors would obviate all this additional work.

The oodlin moth, a year or two ago, alarmed New Zealanders. It had tato*-—' possession of our orchards and threatened to stick, and we did not that we eould beat it out. Now we learn, on the authority of Mr. Simms, the Government expert, that this pest is not a real fighter at all, but is easily routed by the spraying and loppings an 4 burnings that are recommended by the) Agricultural Department, and, as a matter of fact, Mr. Simms says, the codlin moth has ceased to be a trouble in New Zealand orchards that are properly attended to.—Masterton Age. ttie Mewliijf delayed cable is dated Washington, Hi— I "Mf tM/rge Westinghouae announces that he iiu perfected an air-spring to take tlw pldee «f > pneumatic tyres ou automobiles, and tfuit the invention will be launched commercially at onoe. The "spring" consists of an upper cylinder to be attached to the top of the chassis frame, which will telescope into a cylinder fixed to the ■bottom of the axle. Inside the smaller are tubes, which permit of the action of a° piston and of the admission oi oil and air. The invention will, it is claimed, revolutionise auto construction by doing away with the tyres now used.'

Nelson has a generous benefactor in ( Mr. Thomas Cawthorn. Some years ago he presented a Sunday school to Toi Toi Valley. He subsequently made a valuable presentation to the Nelson Museum and donated £SOO to the Nelsoa Insti* tute. He subsequently offered to defray the cost of carrying on the improvement scheme for the Church Hill steps in con- | Section with the Pitt memorial fund. He ' also gave £SOO to the building fund of the School of Music and lent £BOOO to the school at a nominal rate of interest. Indeed, but for his assistance, the School of Music could never have been built at all. Quite recently he donated another £SOO to the same institution, and has promised three further donations, each of the same amount, at half-yearly intervals, so that the indebtedness of the school in about a year's time will be completely extinguished. In addition to the foregoing he has ordered for the School of Music a magnificent organ at a cost of about £2OOO. Altogether Mr. Cawthron's benefactions to Nelson are almost unprecedented in the way oi spontaneous liberality so far as Now Zealand is concerned.
