The deposits made in the I'ost Office Savings Bank during the year ended March " 3t,t exceeded the withdrawal* by £1.060,945. or about £50.000 more tiian the year before. Mr Bevan .Brown. heai!.ma>i< rot the Christehureh Boys' High School, speaking at the conference ot secondary school teachers, said that unite one third of the pupils who came in on pvotideney e-rtiti-catcci were nou ijualitietl to take advantage of secondary education. The exports t'imn th.- tlondnion fm the March t(iu»rter. excluding specie. were valued at £6.350.000. which is £2.203.000 le*s than the value for the Mari'h t[tta.rter of 1907. Wool is ro-portilible tor £1,594,0U0 of the shrinkage. Ihr- Wellington "Trade Review" poinu out. however. that- part of this shortage in wool values is due to delayed shipments. A very successful dance was held in th& Oddfellows' Hall, Geraldine oa Friday evening, the occasion being the annual gathering of the Victoria Lodge. 1.0.0. F. About 50 couples took part in the grand march. Considerable interest- was taken in the waltzing competition which was won by* Mr Stouehou and Mis* Joe. the second couiple being Mr W. Rose and Miss M. Banghen. Messrs D. Woode and C. Boulter carried out their dnties 23 M's. C. efficiently, while excellent music was furnished by Messrs J .Pye (piano) and Allan' (cornet).

The members of the Timaru Rowing Club have again received an invitation from -their President-. Mr C. Howard Tripp, to go to> Orari Gorge on Monday next (Empire Day holiday) for a hare shoot. This is the third year in which Mr Tripp has extended t-hics- invitation, and the previous outings have been thoroughly enjoyed by tha members. The party will leave by train at 7.5 a.m. and will be conveyed from Orari to the station by drag. Those who intend to take advantage of Mr Tripp's invitation site requested to leave their names before noon on Friday at* bis office, where they may also obtain further information as to the excursion.

The Wellington " Trade Review r»iveH the value of import* for the Marcti ouarter at £4.875.795. and remarks on that "The quart, r's im putts extremely heavy, and are in excess «t those of the corresponding period of last in the value exclusive of specie. by * COO. and above the same quarter of 1905 by £1.451.000. It certainly gives the impression that the scale of importation has become excessive arid stands in nr-ed of diminution, it is in the Match quarter that Jit* autumn-winter seasonji supplies of soft goocti' come iu. atul it is probable that this branch is largely responsible tor the expansion." The imports of goods for 'he year ended 51st March totalled 11 A millions, to b? compared with 14-1 millions in 1376- r. and about Imillion* in th;' two precedinu" years. Ibe " Renew" thinks that last year imports were oa an extravagant scale, and recommends caution in this respect. One explanation of the increase suggested is that the delay iu bringing into operation the extra "preferential" duties gave the opportunity to lay in large stock.- in she interval, and thii--. waa largely taken advantage of. A special meeting of the Committer of the- Fairlie Public School was held on Friday evening to consider the applications forwarded by the (education Hoard. _ for rhe position "of headmaster in the school. Present —Messrs C.Talbot (chairman). F. Watts. F. Mackenzie, T. Foden, J. King. J Trotter and W. L. Hosking (secretary). Before proceeding with business the chairman referred to the death o£ Mr J. Riddte. who had been, a mem-be'- of the committee for many yeai>. Mr RWdlr had taken a. great interest in the t-ctiool. and had willingly given fiir- advice and time iu forwarding its interest. Th.- ♦ hair man moved. Mr Mackenzie seconded, and it. was carried that the committee desires t» place on record its appreciation «f the lengthy services of Mr Kiddle «•« a. mn-mht•• »»f the commiti.ee: thai, the inernb-rs unite in condoling with Mrs Kiddle and family in their »a<i: los.». an,l that the chairman be authorised to convey * till- v.onlution by letter to Mrs Riddle. The committt-e then went carefully into the applications and testimonials forwarded by the Hoard, of the half dozen applicants submitted. After a. lengthy discussion it. was decided to send the following tw»> names to the Board, in the order given:—Mr I). MeCaskill. Temuka District High School: and Mr Fnllarton.

A number of young men. who aie alleu>"d to haw been concerned in tint fencis and gate-breaking in Wai-iti itoad on Saturday evening.

Kvervhing appeared to be working in good order and the new lamps made a fair showing; but- as to whether the electric lights were superior to gas in penetrative power caused a considerable amount of criticism. It is confidently expected by Scott Bros*, to have Use whole of the gas area of the town lit up bv electricity by • lune 6th.

A first offender, who. on Wednesday was remanded by Mr C". A. Wray, S.M., for medical treatment, which cost. 20s, on Saturday, ordered to pay these expenses or undergo imprisonment for t days. Sergeant: Bowman reported that the doctor who had attended the defendant when suffering from the effects of drink was of opinion that a further day or two in gaol would be all the better for him and would give him a chance for complete reooverr.

Concerning the deer-shooting season which has just closed, the Tapamti Courier savs:—"The number of good heads obtained must have been the smallest on record, and license-holders generally report verv poor sport. stags only 'roared for" a couple of days, and the general impression is that- they are both scarce and shv from constant, hunting. There are indications that feed is now very scarce in the mountain forests, and starvation is having its effects. Many portions of the bush that were hitherto will stocked with de r are now entirely deserted. Hinds are still numerous, but in the forest area especially they are in very poor condition. A .great many parties camped on the mountain* this season, and every portion of the deer country was persistently hunted.'

A big crowd of music-lovers assembled on Satnrdav evening in the large show room of the Dresden Piano Company and listened to one of the mosc enjoyable concerts given" in -Timarn for a long time. The programme presented was in part classical and in part- popular, and found throughout -high favour with those present-. The concert opened Avith a dnet for two pianos -Le Soir" tChaminade). played by Mrs 'Mangos and Miss Twomey. of Te- ■ muka. in a very artistic manner. This was followed by* a song -'Beloved it is Morn." Mrs Power the popular contralto of Dunedin giving it in finished style: in fact her voice seemed to be even fuller and deeper than when she sung here last. Later on this artiste sang by iequ«sc L 'Angus Macdonald *' and evoked great enthnsiusm. The classical number of the pvenint!. a trio in K Hat by Huni-l!. v. .is splendidly performed by Mrs Mangos. Messrs J. H. Coombs and Ellis Wood. The plavers appeared to be in sympathy with each other and played with a dash and a finish that- left nothing to ha desired. Mi Ellis Wood also gave a fin* performance of two movement? of the Beethoven Sonata sn It minor, ably assisted by bis son, and Mr J. H. Coombs sang on his fiddle the beautiful little legend ""The Swan.' by S;. Saetis, and all who heard him tins! tha* it may not be his swan song for many a day to come. The local favourities shone brilliantly amongst this galaxy of pelfoitriers ; Miss Cole is beard but too seldom. Her finely trained voice pleased her audience greatly in tlw popular songs '"My Dearest Heart" and '" Come Back to Erin." Miss Hole seems to improve every time she appears in public, her voice is of a very tine and sweet timbre and gaining perceptibly in strength. Her two songs " Roses T and " Slumbt-r Sea' added gTeatly to the enjoyment of the concert. The Dresden is to be congratulated on their enterprise, and the excellent arrangements for at concert that went through without a hitch. It is safe to predict, that with so perfect a beginning, tin-.- proposed season of clumber concerts promise to lie a great acquisition to the musical season.

The "S" Sound.—For a long time Edison's Phonograph refused to say "" >peeia."—it dropped the s" and said " pecia." To produce that single sound he needed something delicate enough to receive impression** not more than » millionth part of an inch in depth, and yet rigid enough to tarty the needle up and down, exactly reproducing the vibrations which had made the impressions. The scientists told him there Was no such substance in existence. "Then we nftist produce it." insisted Edison. They declared it cooid not be done. liecause the qualities which lie demanded were inconsistent and exclusive of each other. He declared that it could be done, because it must be tlutie. and he did it—but Kdison worked eighteen hours a day for sevni months to secure that single sound. That Is the story of success since the world began. Difficulties yield to enthusiasm, and you can hear the result of that enthusiasm in Begg's new Phon-ry in the Arcade—to whose daily concerts you are specially invited. ...

The reason why this firm can guarantee the upkeep is- that by the- past seven years experience- tfi-y have fonnd that the J)arraetf arid Dxiiim cars are by far thcheapest on the market, as regards upkeep.

At the Theatre Royal last evening there was a moderate attendance to listen to the discourse by Dr Gominins and to witness the lantern "pictures of sacred subjects. Dr Commins spoke very impressively on " Life and Immortality" and explained some of the figurative language of th« Uook t>f Cone-:'- He illustiatea what was meant by a dual existence—spiritual and phvsical—he gave his conception of tho meaning of death and spoke on other ab struse subjects; and at the conclusion described pictorially what a human being discarnated for a time might- see in the viuiitiia! world. It. is Dr Conuniiis' intention to continue these Sunday evening addresses throughoue the winter. That the art of painting must lie a pleasing one u> demonstrated in a very line picture now on view at Mr Rad-c-liffe*.., Stafford Street.. Lovers of the beautiful who are willing to be convinced of the power of the palette, brush and colour on canvas, would do well to have a look at the picture. The scene, a fiascape. with three fishermen in the foreground, is of artistic beauty and effective power: the pee of tiie figures is excellent, and quite beyond the range of criticism except of commendation. The study on the whole is a genuine work of art. and besides being a highly creditable example of the work turned out of a Timaru istudio. reflects great credit nn the artiste. Muss K. K. Hroper.

" Kvervthing in connection with railwavs has gone up,' said the Minister of Railways, the Hon. W. Hall-Jones, to a deputation in Wellington: "Wages, oil, timber, steel—everything.

On Saturday afternoon the Timaru Main School Girls' hockey team visited Temuka, and suffered defeat by two goals to nil. For Temuka the goals were shot by Mary Miles and Irene Wareing.

After tire match the visitors with their school companions (the football boys) were entertained at. tea by the teachers and pupils of the Temuka school, and a very nice concert was also held.

The candidate replied that he deplored the delay and indecision of the Government in the best interests of our Arbitration Act. "Then why do you support them?" the questioner persisted. "If you had a horse with a splint," the doctor rejoined, " would you shoot him or blirfter him and keep, him going?" The Ward Administration, had made mistakes, he admitted, but- he preferred to put a few blisters on and keep them going. Loud laughter and applause followed.

At the church of the Sacred Heart yesterday evening Dean Regnault preached an impressive sermon on Faith. He also made eloquent reference to the success of the recent mission held here by the Redemptorist Fathers and exhorted everyone to persevere faithfully in the good work that had been done so successfully during the mission. At the offertory Mrs Power of St. Joseph's choir, Dunedin, sang Hoban'ii " Ave Marin" with greiu- df votion and taste. Mr Coombs played the violin obligato and Mrs Mangos presided at the. organ.

was found on the leaves of the gum trees. It turned out to be the scale .known as Eriococcus. In all probability it was introduced on the bark of the hardwood timber brought over to build the jetties with. The scale spread and became a. pest. A tree badly attacked would not live more than eighteen months. The only possible way to meet the pest seemed to be to import from Australia the natural enemies of the scale, and in the end of 1905 the biological branch of the Agricultural Department received' its first shipment of about 2,000' ladybirds-. One kind, a black ladybird named Rhizobius ventralis, multiplied and did well, so that the- department was able to send these ladybirds to other places in Canterbury, with the result that all plantations which a -couple of years ago were f.-onsidcred to be ruined had gained their normal health, and it was-estimated that in another year the scale would we wiped out. Riiizohias jot at an unprotected part- of Erioccus and sucked-the scale dry.—ln anssv rs to questions, Mr Cockayne said that the common ladybird in New Zealand was an aphiseater and of no avail against scale insects, also that there was no fear of Rhizobius becoming a pest, since when they had finished oft' the scale they started to eat each other.
