A AVairarapa farmer says he plants two (,r three hundred trees every year, and considers lie lias been amply repaid in the shelter and shade thus afforded his stock. So far as sheep are concerned shade in the summer is of much more importance than shelter in the winter. '

Fashions in decency differ with locality. At Timaru any grown jperson is liable to prosecution for bathing in a public place without wearing a bathing dress. At Hamner however, one of the official regulations, approved by the Deputy Governor -of the Dominion and signed, by the Minister in Charge of the Tourist Department reads: — " No person shall wear a bathing-dress when using a public bath, without first ibtainimr the permission of the resident medical officer, or, in his absence, the bath attendant."

The "Xew\zealand Times" states that among th» economies to be made by the Ministettof .Railways is the dtsuensiiig with tfc services of the traffic superintendent for each island, who •«et i.'700 each. Jut as these officers were also district', traffic superintendents, whose service are necessary, at JKGt.lo'a year, the Jiving will be only tJ*2*lo. It is also pu>posed to lay up the Hinemoa.

In a fetter to the >aily Telegraph (London), an Essex fanier stated:— -Everv sheep that has tan fattened V this country during lie past six months has entailed a loss to the owners bf from 6s to 10s pet head, and .Vhen we ' read " that n,o single Vessel- recently sailed Inin New Zealand carrying n ™nio vnt 31800 carcases of lamb, and ISpOO car'cages of sheep, it is perhaps iut to be wondered at."

The latest cattle boats on tin Atlantic now provide first, second,.and third class accommodation tor lieigts.

■Motor car racing is looked upon with more favour'in the United States than elsewhere-. ..When the route tor the nx>W race New York to Seattle (con:cliided a-few days ago) was being considered, the Governor of Idaho.'notified that the. State would spend £IO,OOO it necessarv in placing the roads in that state in "proper shape for the race. The business men • and other citizens ot Eastern Oregon also offered to repair their roads for the benefit of the race sihdnld it come that way.

"vA. North Island enthusiast considers that if municipalities can afford to provide and maintain recreation grounds.. *Bd local clubs can provide race-courses, the Government should be able to provide .permanent training grounds, for mounted infantry, and the maintenance cost .of which would be met.by the grazing, rents in "off" seasons, or bv growing forage for the horses in eucampmentsV = \Vitn a sufficient area the same 'ground could be used fog hall practice, even for field artillery:'"

" J That there were some oig moas about the.. timaru district • when the thick clay 'deposit was being formed} has been'proved by the chance "discovery' of - large leg hones in the making of the excavations in the clay. A day' or two ago*another kind of evidence of the fact'C was' the finding of a well rounded and smoothed gizzard stone m soliddav that, weighs full three ounces. It was found m one of the cuttings on Caroline Bav, about one fourth or one third of the total depth of the clay from the bottom. As the birds do not as a rule pick up smooth stones, this three-ounce pebble may - have weighed four or five ounces when picked up by the bird.

Mr Daniells, the salvage expert of the Uniott.S.S. Company,-is receiving great praise for ihe manner in which he lias saved the steamer Tavinni, stranded near tlie mouth of the Bnller river about' a year ago. '-Several schemes were tried to get her off and the sea destroyed the arrangements made. Finallv""Mr Daniells shut off the sea, altogether by making it reclaim a good-sized area around the vessel. This he dkl by means of scrub fences or groins which held up the sand that' the ■;ea washed over them. Bv this he has; shifted the high water line five, chains out to sea. The steamer wars'' hauled up the beach as far as possible, ami then by means of beams bolted to her side, and of beds of scrub on the sand to give a bearing to beams, and the use of hydraulic jacks, the vessel was lifted, and •« erntlle bnilt beneath her. On this she has been shifted to r the training wall of the river, and when she has. neen repaired, she will be launched off this into the river.

Speaking at' the opening" of a new Courthouse at Feilding the other day, Dr Findlay, Minister of Justice, stated that justice was .administered in 192 ' buildings (including 42 private structures) Fn~New* Zealand. This works out, roughly, at an average-of one law court -to'every 5000 of population, which is not an alarming proportion, when one remembers tha? the country's population is widely scattered. It is certainly a fact that New Zealanders have their full share of litigation, compared with the inhabitants of other i-oiintries. The Briton is credited with a foiwuiess for having the law off a neighbour whom iie believes to be unneighbourly. . The setting of the.awe-' inspiring legal machinery in motion seems to have a fascination for many people, and thus disputes which might have been easily and cheaply settled on the giveKincltttake principle our. of court, are threshed out in Court. The luxury is costly, not only to the disputants, but to *he general taxpayers wlio have to nnd the money for -he 19-2 'Courthouses, the Magistrates, the Judges, and the other appointments of the law.

Mr V. F. Porter, or Huntley, posseises an attested copy of the deed ok "conveyance on • vhich the Webster ilaiuTof half a million is founded. Ihe ordinal was dated 1838, the copy 1841). The 'latter shows that the deed conveyed 80,000 acres of land, and bears the signatures of nineteen natives. The - consideration." for the conveyance of the land (the payment made tor it) is set down as -several articles of merchmdtse" of the value ok .411 Do, and the following Hst shofc* what this merchandise consisted ot :-Twent.y blankets, 2501b tobacco, two c«ats two. casks of powder, 20 cartridges boxes, 100 cartouche boxes, 20 pieces of print 240 yards, of dungaree, 40 pain, . ot trousers. 20 chests, two pieces ot print two iron pots, two gowns •>> casks ot powder. 120 blankets, 80 hoes, SO lp»l», 82 iron pots, 10 superior double guns, 70 muskets, 40 coats, 40 shawls, eisrht down" skirts, 1000 fishhooks, and 40 razors. The only, cash considerations noted in the iU«I comprise two items of £ls and £2olor £;« in all. Mr Porter says that ebster afterwards conveyed the land to .two Auckland men for £IOOO. one or whom sehl his half to Mr Porter's Father in 18-10, for £SOO. The' Webster title was dtsallo.vcd by the Government, anil the money was lost. The Webber deed of mo. is dated ten vears later than the declaration of New Zealand as under British dominion, sjx years after the appointment of a British resident, and is the same year as the founding <>t the first .Viv "Zealau-l company's settlements.

Oamaru has followed the example set by Timaru in disposing of meat by public auction. The meat sales in Timaru are still well patronised.

An Auckland paper says that a. remarkably mild season is being experienced up there. So far Auckland has only experienced one or two frosts this winter, ami those were not severe.

A good deal of wheat is still being shipped away from Timaru. By some, the opinion is held that the shipping business in this cereal is being overdone, anil tbas it will result in a shortage for our own consumption.

At the Magistrate's Court yesterday before Messrs .1. Hole ami \). •-Stuart, Justices of the JVace, a man charged with drunkenness appeared on remand to answer the charge. Accused was convicted, and,ordered to pay 22s Gd medical expenses.

The truant officer under the Wellington Education Board asked the Board for a lead in regard to a particular breach di the Act. It appears that children, of mainly well-to-do parents, were the offenders. The officer pointed out that the holidays, when these children were away with their parents, were often extended by several days. He wished to know were these children to be classed as truants, and, as such, liable to prosecution? Members of the Board decided that within the meaning ■of the Act the defaulters were liable. ■r *•.'.'

Tn 1907 there were 29(5 pupils onr'oll«}nfNow Plymouth, Stratford, and Iriglewood. technical schools, while last year the number was 381. The director calls this very gratifying, hut, re•narks the "Taranaki Herald." when *e consider tire large capital outlay in fi<e school* buildings, the numerous stiff of instructors employed, and the opportunity given '-o youns . men to lean some -useful., accomplishment in their spare. hours, the number takins advaitage of the facilities is "ps»H.

'"' The New. South Wales season-for citrus fruits opened last week in ■ Wellington, when .says the "Evening Post,' about 500 cfces were landed from the Sydney steaner. Oranges brought ss, mandarins Bs, lemons 9s, and passion fruit 4s per >ase. This weeks' shipment was nearl; four times larger, thetotal being 21(M. cases.

| A Galifornian visitor o the Palmer- ! ston Dairy Show, hoking at the Agrij cultural Department's lisplay, expressed astonishment on baring that I mans New Zealand-farmersdid not ap- ■ preeiate what the Government was doing for them in this connection. Why, .lie exclaimed, the farmers of California iean on the experiment statiois. They never think of embarking on an enter-prise-or changing their metlods of work without consulting the staiion experts. Then in America therf were aonVnltnral 'cars attached to trans, in which experts travelled to give lectures to farmers at points alonor the nute. part of the car being fitted no as an amricnltnral museum. The Califorrian visitor concluded by expressing the, iplief that New Zealand farmers woiM yet- be unanimous in their support <f such important institutions to thei: own arid the national welfare as experiment stations.

The following is the Rev. P. '" C Bates' general weather forecast: — "Westerly gale probable north of New Plymouth and Napier, south-easterly elsewhere soon. Rain is probable generally and heavy on the east- coast:of the South Island, with snow and inland rain; southerly gale extending.to East Cape after 1G hours; the barometer will rise" fast shortly everywhere and much colder weather may be expected." Speaking to a "Herald" representative yesterday regarding. a resolution passed by the executive of the Shearers' Unjon, condemning him for having presented to Parliament a petition that the Government should assist the immigration of domestic servants, the member for Timaru said it is his duty as a member, to present.any respectfully worded petition sent him by-'.-iny-of his .constituents, whether .lie is in accord with its contents or not. That should have been known to those who passed the resolution.- All be had to-do was to ask leave to present the petition, obtain leave, and lay.: the petition on the'table of the House.

- At the. annual-meeting of the' Southland Educational Institute last week, one of the members; ]\lr Webber, read a-paper in advocacy nf 'the learning of Esperanto. He thought this new language had failed to gain a strong footing in the Dominion, because the people had no occasion to feel the need of some international means of communication. With European nations it was different. Yet it was so easy and interesting as to be worth while here too. .Esperanto bureaux have been established in 'most continental cities, and are proving useful in enabling correspondence to be carried on by people speaking different languages, and in rendering aid to esperantists or their friends when doing foreign travel.

Mr Clement Wragge advised the "Otago Daily Times" last evening to .the following* effect:—"The jecent .bad weather is flii» to the passage "f the great Antarctic disturbance Taylor.

The scales are large and finely serrated at the edges; the eyes large, the snout prominent, "as- if for ploughing the iiottom. The large eyes aV:d tine tail suggest a deep sea bottom fish.
