Mr Wragge says that v .he latest bad weather was due to the passage of the hinder edge of "Taylor," \he Antarctic disturbance whose coming he foresaw at Christchurch on June 9th. He says that " Taylor" is travelling on eastward, and will probably reach Cape Horn, and make ships heave-to.

It would appear that unparliamentarv language is used at some Harbour Boards outside of Timaru. At the last meeting of the Greymouth Harbour Board, the dredgemaster (Mr Raymond, who, hy the way, was an applicant for a similar position at Timaru) had his temper somewhat rattled during a discussion on the dredger, and this is what he said: "I have had 16 wars' rxperience. and h->ve never hid mv abilitv questioned. Have I got into a secret society or a Fenian society. Mv nod. I don't like tha*s plain English " It is recorded that the chairman stopped further remarks.

U A severe shock of earthquake, accompanied by a loud rumble felt tatte Fairlie and Kaincliff d.stncts -.at 035 on Monday moraine, Jhe shock extending down' as far as Hazelb.irn At Fairlie the shock was so violent that it shook down crockery in houses nml somewhat displaced a brick partition wall in Frayne's stable and it was felt with eoual force in tb" Jtamcliff estate. Several people in Timaru. on hearing vesterday of the Mmck at l- airlie recalled the fact that they had heard and felt something unusual about that hour, but few recognised the phenomenon as earthquake and m some cases in which they did they were laughed at.

Professor Wragge's prediction that heaw weather was to be expected af ter twenty-four honrs from Saturday last came wonderfully well up to as far as Temnka and surrounding districts were concerned. On Saturday the class began to steadily fall, accompanied with" a cold temperature, which prevailed until Sunday morning, when a further fall took place: this was followed bv changes in the barometer which came with nnmistakeable force nt 9 o'clock on Mond-»v morning, when heaw rain began to fall and continued all dav with a. cold westerly wind. TTp to 5 n.m. 1.73 inches had fallen at Temnka" and reports from the back districts state that .it has been raining steadilv for some time.

The Hunters Hlls and the western mountains were a beautiful snectacle yesterday morning, when the .sun shone brightly npoi. their new-fallen coat of snow. The rew fallen snow is much more pleasing to look upon in bright sunlight, than snow that has been thawed on the surface and frozen again. The fresh snow is dead white, and giv»s uo rdisteninft reflection of the sunlight. The air was keen on the summits, and-the snow fnzen dry. for at times it was drifting like a light smoke in the southerly breeze up there.

Speaking on the unemplcved question at the Ashbnrton Farmers' Union on Saturday, Mr Harding sud that farmers would have less trouble in retaining men were small sections of land obtainable at a fair priet. He knew of one section of five acres with a house upon it for which £SO an acre was asked, whilst the adjoining '.and was valued at £3O per acre.- If s<me system could be adopted by which a man could have about four or fhe acres of land to-work during his leisure hours, or when out of employment, there would be less difficulty in keeping men in the country.

Mr A. W. Hogg, M.P., returned to his home in Masterton on Saturday pvenine. and was given a great reception, being welcomed at the railway station by two brass bands and a large assemblage of townspeople. Interviewed subsequently, Mr Hogg said he intended to iiake a comprehensive tour of New Zealand in the cause of labour. Ho had received pressing invitations to deliver addresses from all part? of the Dominion, and these he nronosed to accept. It was his belief that such a course of action would have a reviving effect on the labour cause in New Zealand, and would eventv.ally lead to a vigorous independent labour party.

The "Ploughing Bee" is an old Scottish institution which has never gained recognition in Canterbury, but it is often put into practice in Of ago and Southland. The plough in'i bee is a friendlv gathering of neighbours with ploughs and teonis to "ive a new settler a start. The o+her day a. ploughing be* was tendered to a new settler. Mr Jafferv. at LnvcU* Flat. Southland. Despite very boisterous weather there was a turn-mit of twentv-eiaht teams, and about f>s new were "turned over. There were 122 horses engaged in v the work five I>borse teams, three o-horse, seven 4liorse. and three 3-horse. Such a dav's work done at a ploughing bee, was uninne. nnd it was a si-dit to see the teams following one another round the fic'-l. r1 '" vine of the hrrc-flpen (says the "Tiroes") could not have been less than £4OOO.

The '.'Merry Widow" lias departed from Timaru, and lias loft a rather had impression in one quarter. The manager of the Dresden, who had a great deal'of work and worry in connection with the hooking (for which he received nothing) did not see the performance. He received no remuneration of any kind except two seats which, by order of the manager of the "Merry Widow" Company, were.afterwards "given to another person, and although Mr. Gorlitz lipid" the tickets he could not get his seats. With such treatment he was naturally much incensed, nartic'ularly as he had taken two ladies to occupy his'two seats; and he says that this is the. first time in a long* experience of the theatrical business that he has heard of a manager acting in this manner.

A well-known resident of Timaru who for some months past has been travelling about the east coast of the North Island, says, in the course of a letter to a friend here, that the weather has been atrocious up that way of late, there having been scarcely a day without rain since Easter.

Minister refusing a railway from Kakahu and Geraldine, and "the Department refusing grants for roads in South Canterbury, when I see the condition of the country here, and the difficulties that settlers have to contend with. Yesterday I saw a team of pack horses at work taking supplies to settlers, and. the foing was so bad that each horse could only carry 751b5."

Another large moa stone from the clay at Caroline Bay'was found yesterday. It is two inches long and an inch and a half wide, but flattish. ■Moa; stones are common and ■iianv of xhe:u are large, so that everv find "of. a nig specimen is not worth ■recording;. 'This specimen, however, seems to deserve ;nent.ion as it indicates the-great, muscular power of the mo.i's gizzard. : It is perfectly clear from the condition of the pebble, that, aft r it had been considerably worn and.- rounded, the stone was split' in the bird's gizzard by the pressure against another, and the new ;sur.fa.ee and angles were worn to a much less degree before the bird died and left its gizzard stones as its monument.

An interesting phase -of the unemployed question was learned :by a "Poverty Bay Herald" representative wrhen- in Hawke's Bay a few days- ago. He was assured that-the position was being made more acute through the general timidity- that exists' amongst farmers respecting their'.liability-'under the "Workers' Compensation - Act for casual employees. In the neighbourhood pf''Norscw'ood and Ormondville, for instance, farmers were quite able to give a passing swagger employment for' a day or two, but disinclined to go to the ; trouble of effecting an' accident insurance .policy over the workmen, and fearing that in the- absence of such a -cover'they may be exposed to the dishonesty of a stranger -and plunged into a heavy liability, they have almost invariably told the swag-, ger to pass on.

Mr. R. M. Pitt, a director and adviser of the ■■" Australian Chilling and Freezing Company of New- South Wales, "who has just returned from a visit to. England, says that, after, consulting the British palate, which has been trained to prefer longwool or crossbred- mutton- to merino, -the next thing to consider in those -who' buy frozen meat, is their stomach, and''this prefers lean meat. It is, he says, the poor people who buy the merino, and it is meat, not fat, that they want; 'lience'it is that* the lighter weight A u?tralian mutton invariably realises more ner lb than the heavier—although the heavier is generally primer meat. Fat is worth.lid to 13d per lb, and the poor man out for the: Sunday, dinner wants mutton, .and not mutton Tat. Indeed, be will insist upon the fat being cut off. In this way frozen mutton freight is paid on much that should go in the tallow casks. The better class buvers of frozen mutton, will not look at the lumny fat. Then flip lean has its disadvan+iges. for the lenn thaws out black. The thick nart of the leg covered only with.skirt invariablv does so. But as-the verv noo>- need meat, and can only'afford to buy that which can he obtained at a very low price, they purchase it-re-gardless of colour, as they do rabbits or any other flesh.
