.Magpies are iuui easing and getting quite numerous in tlio district now, tho prohibition against their slaughter having given them a good ehauco to multiply.

The last "long night" of tho EvfcnStar .(Juadrillu Assembly was a very suoeesslul one, about 14U dancers being present. The floor was in capital order; first-class music was supplied; Mr J. Eeid proved a capable master of ceremonies, and Mr J. H. Itodgcrs left nothing'to .bo desired in tho catering.

The annual dance of tho Timaru Football Ulub was held in tne Assembly .Rooms last evening about, lorty couples being present, Tho hall was tastefully decorated and a most enjoyable time was spent in dancing to tho music rendered by Mrs Hurdloy's orchestra. Mr H. Anderson' performed the duties of M.G. and the dance passed off very successfully.

•At tho conference of Press representatives recently held in London, there was a good deal of discussion on cablo rates; and, incidentally, on tho condensed form in which, tho cablo messages are received from tho colonies. The following is one instance of tho way cable messages are altered, partly due to errors of transmission and partly to brevity:—"Tho lato Sir Arthur .Kennedy, Governor of Queensland, wag alleged in a cable message to London

tn have become the father of twins, tho first a s<)ii. As e ho was an elderly widower of long standing this news was a. great surprise to his friends. Tho real message was 'turns first sod' of a new railway."

An accident happened to a liorse belonging to Mr J. Shaw yesterday morning as it was being driven near town in a drag. The animal took fright at something, and swerving suddenly, it came into violent- collision with the. step of a spring dray, which was close by at the time. The result was a big ganing wound in the shoulder, wlTii-b Mr McGrath was called in to stitch. "S A local grain merchant speaking to a reporter yesterday said ho cannot imagine where the Government got their statistics re the export of wheat from Lyttelton and Tima'-u. The fWernment's figures make it seem that only ahont 500,000 bushels of wheat have heen exported, -whereas the private tally kept by him of wheat which he knows to have gone from the ports in question is over three times that amount. •' The following is the Rev. D.C. Bates general weather forecast: —"liiere aro indications for a change- in the weather, especially southward of Kawhia and Napier. Light and variable -winds with somewhat milder weather have been experienced, hut freshening northerly winds arc expected everywhere: Cloudy and''wet weather is ■now probable on the west coast and the sontfiern districts of. the South Island and" nn=ettled weather elsewhere shortly;' with a fallinjr barometer."

White and T. L. Harney, J .TVs, attended to hear it. Mr Raymond, for complainant and Mr Ems-- j lie for defendant, agreed to a week's adjournment with a view to an amicable settlement,' the former saying that it was a family affair. The Bench agreed and the case was adjourned accordingly. A nuriiber of farmers in North Canterbury have received letters from tlf secretary of the Farm Labourers' Union, who states that it had been reported to the executive of the union that a number of farmers in the Canterbury Industrial District are paying to their labourers less than 'the 7s per day laid down by the Arbitration Court intheir recommendation " That all day labourers who receive only a money payment for their scrvi'cs sh"ll be paid not less than 7s per day." The writer then goes on to say: "If then, the statements made are correct so far s>« you are concerned, we hope you will remedv same, as the union has decided +o- take the necessary st~ps to have the re"omm°nd"tton of the Court resnected, and. if rc-wry. enfowd. This i<s a niece of bluff, as a recommendation "of the Court has no legal force.

A suuimoii<.-d-uteeliiig of the Star of Canterbury Lodge was held on Monday evening last, at which there was a fair attendance of members. The N.G. Bro." J. Bracefield presided. One candidate was initiated into the order. The half-yearly balance-sheet and report which was adopted as read, showed -the lodge to have made satisfactory progrcss during the term. The D.D.G. 31., Bro. C. J. Talbot-, assisted by P.G. Bro. R. Bonn installed, in his usu.il' .efficient manner, the following brothers into their respective" offices for the current term:—G. A.

Rockefeller had given two millions (sterling) for education purposes, making. 10J millions he has now given for these purpos-s. At least one American millionaire does not believe in such gifts. Mr Crane, a Chicago man of many millions, says of them :—" I have given a great deal of thought and study to the subject of higher education, and have conducted several systematic investigations with regard to this and many other institutions engaged in advanced lines of education. In fact, «o fair as I know, 1 am the onlv one who has ever taken up this su|»j""t in s* bilsines-like way, and the •■oii-lusion 1 have reached is that practically every one of these institutions is a f'and and all imposition on the public.

The Inspector-General of Hospitals, Dr Valintinc, had something to say regarding the training of nurses, when speaking upon the question of hospital economy at the meeting of the Auckland Hosnital and Charitable Aid Hoard on" Monday. ''There is no question," he said, " that our system of training nurses "has absolutely fpiled, because we don't ten»-h them aiivthing about economy. For .tin* reason the average nurse is :i very bad housekeeper indeed. Many of them have not the slightest idea of economy. I went into the diningroom of a hospital the other day and found :> 41b loaf weighing Ub short. At another hospital I found that the quantity of milk delivered one day was a gall"ii and a-'half sh"rt of what there should have been, and what was charwd. X»rscs, he went on to say. should sneriahsc in various tilings, such as hospital econ--Tiiics. sanitation, etc.. and the mnilifirations th«»v possessed in these directions should be taken int" consideration when promotions were being made.

The Melbourne " Argus '' writing of the Victorian Farmers' League. the equivalent of New Zealand's Farmers Union, savs:—The Farmers' League represents the greatest and most important producing class of the country.

Mr Jukow, a visitor from Russia, who has been-on a visit to Rotorua, is of opinion that many Russians will shortly visit the Dominion. The Tourist Department have had their guide Imoks translated into the Russian language, and they are being eagerly read.

.A short time ago a- proposal was mooted at Hastings to start a company and carry on the business of meat curing, or "dry" pickling, especially in relation to beef. The idea was taken up with enthusiasm, and now the Hawke's Bay Curing Company has started work.

At a meeting of the Wellington Philosophical Society last week, Dr A. K. Newman showed some interesting Maori curios, lately collected by him. Speaking of some carvings, he said the wargod. with protruded tongue, was a striking feature of them, and he made an interesting reference to similar figures in Hindu, Tibetan, and Egyptian carvings. He. believed that all the Maori gods and the Maori weapons, and implements could be traced back to India, and thus it was proved that the Maoris, in the far past, came from India.

Mr Alpers told the Defence meeting at Christehurch that he had been " taken down." He felt flattered, when asked to speak at the meeting, _tln.it he was evolving* into a '"prominent citizen," second only in importance to a municipal councillor. However, the liearer of the invitation had soon disillusioned him by saying, " I believe you are a Dane, or a Dutchman, or something; at 'any rate, you'are a naturalised foreigner living under the British flag, and perhaps you can tell the public something from that point of view which will be interesting or instructive."

; A scientific cumniittev at Christehurch say that there are " radium emanations " in the artesian water of the city, which is injurious- to fish. At all events fish put into tauks fed by artesian water "presently die, from a . disease called " pop-eye." Another suggestion was that the deaths were due to an ascertained excess of nitrogen in the water. If the water is allowed to ripple over something the radium grew much less intense. A Timaru sceptic learning of this inquiry, .said he would like to know whether there was not. a dcncicii'-y of oxyg-n in the water as was extremely probable: and if so whether that would not account for the fish "popping" their eyes. .

The "Otago Daily Times" commercial editor, with tl'ie aid of a grain merchant, works juit the Dominion's wheat- problem as follows: —The season's crop totalled 8,722,000 bushels. Of this 6 millions are required for food and seed. leaving 2,722.000 for export, of which 1,230,000 bushels have been sgnt away. The above allowance of 6 millions for home consumption is, however, the annual average, and lie thinks 800,000 more would not bs t-io large to allow for the seeding of the larger area put iiito wheat this year. Say 730,00S, and that reduces the remaining surplus, for export to half ii million bushels. Another merchant helt>ed him", with regard' to oats, anil worked mit a surplus for exiwrt of 41 million bushels.' Prices in London, said the merchant are good—for London —but farmers here are not disposed t;> sell at export rates, and the danger is that they will he holding large supplies when the next crop conies in:

Mr Robert ;Ch:sholm, u/ Scoullar and Chisholin, cabinet-makers, Ihinediii, asked whether an apprentice, having made . choice of his trade, should" be compelled to attend technical classes during the daytime 'i And is it the duty of an employer to pay the fees for apprentices to such classes? To both (if these questions he unhesitatingly 'replied no, certainly not Take a modern, well-equipped factory, where apprentices are employed, and what do you find:-' Much of the work, done by labour-saving machinery, and the best technical education that an apprentice can get is the practical experience gained in seeing the latest approved inethods of production. So far as apprentices at certain trades arc concerned until technical schools are equipped with all tbe latest laboursaving machinery, and a competent staff callable of producing-articles suited to tbe trade (a condition of things which. I venture to think will n"ver previl in the Dominion), it would be a waste of time to compel apprentices to attend during working hours, and folk- to expect employers to pay for such.

HOW IMIEUMO CUKISD Mil GILLESPIE

A host <>f witnesses sing the pnuscs of RJIICUMO. The success of tins wonderful remedy is due to the fact that it attacks and at once expels the real cause of Gout, Rheumatism. Sciatica, or Lumbago—excess uric acid in the blood. Mr Andrew Gillespie, of Wellington,' is so well known throughout N.Z., that his experience will interest many. He writes:— "Whilst suffering from a. severe attack of Rheumatic Gout, a friend brought me a bottle of RHEUMO. Tts effect was certain, the pain left, the swelling went down, and the second bottle 7-omplctcd the cure. My wife also had :i severe attack, and one bottle "ffcclcd the cure. A friend who bad been suffering from Rheumatic Gout for some three years, ami whose case was considered boneless, received almost immcdiJato Teliof from pain, and after taking three bottles was able to leave her bed. Whcn.T bear of anyone suffering from Rheumatic Gout 1 always recommend RHEUMO. There are niany suffering who would fct prompt relief if they only tried RHEUMO."

Mr Mark Saunders is' still busy sit work upon the working model of his wave motor, but makes slow progress. Me has a lot of old material on the eastern mole, where he is at work, and is as sanguine of success as ever. The Wainono Drainage Board proposes to raise a . loan of £2300 to rebuild tho outlet culvert through the beach, which was washed away some time ago. The loan will involve a rate of Jd, Id and 1-i'd in the £, on the rateable value of different classes of land to be benefited, these payments liquidating the lo.iu as well as paying interest.

A curious weather phenomenon was observed yesterday afternoon. It appeared to be snowing.on the', range a little east of Burke's Pass, and if so snow started from clouds that were apparently over Kakabu, and over the sea off St. Andrews. A little later clouds to seaward of Timaru and Opihi mouth were also contributing long streamers of drift to the area of deposit, which moved eastward along to Hunter's hills.

Jn response to representations made by Mr Buxton, M.P. for Gcraldine, for better postal accommodation for the. Hook district, he received information that authority had been given to open an office at Mr Bitchcner's, and a thrice-weekly service established, if the cost of carrying the mail does not exceed £3O per annum. As an improved mail service for this district is much needed, Mr Buxton thinks those intc rested will endeavour to comply with tho terms.

An instance of the usefulness of the little owls recently introduced by the Otago Acclimatisation Society is given by the president of the Society (Mr It. C'hisholm), says the Otago Daily Times. The sparrows had become an intolerable nuisance in his garden and fowlrun, and when he erected an aviary for some golden pheasants, their seed was devoured by the little pests in an incredibly short time. However, one of the little owls was placed in the nvnry wth r"ost s-itsfnctorv results, nnd since that day, he says, not one sparrow has been seen either in the aviary or the fowl-run. and "omparatively few anywhere in the garden.

A Stafford street ratepayer who visited Wellington a short time ago, says he noticed that in the Umpire City tin; principal-thoroughfares were being kept free from permanent jicllution by horse droppings in a simple and, as he judged, an economical way. The dust fromfthat source, every shop-ke-;»cr and ever." saii!*arv authority will agree, is a deleterious nuisance In Welliimton. he says, a man or men employed with an implement roughly resembling a- lawn mower, which picks .up the dirt and carries it in a canvas receptacle, which, when full, is emptied into bins at the street side. • Apart from the benefit of bavin'/ th" street kept clean, the man's labour is not unproductive directly, f'-r the contents of the bins are worth soni'-thinir. and are sniieht after for Cordon in:i"ur-. It would be worth while for the Timaru Bnroii'di Council to uink" .wire further enquiry about this manual street cleaning machine.

A relic of old Maori life was picked up by one of the boys of the. South School near a bit of swamp at Saltwater creek, in the shape of a large pebble, shaped like a somewhat flat-' tened egg, which had been prepared for use of some sort. All round one of its longer circumferences the pebble had been I'oughened, making a band about half an inch wide. This was doubtless done to enable a handle of some sort to be fixed to it, when the stone would.be a bandy fern-root beater or a weapon. .The tool maker started to make the rough band so that the heating surfaces would be the flatter sides, but after bruising it (against another stone no doubt) for an inch or so. and indicating the line of work by a-few blows further on, lie': chan"cd bis mind, and made the narrower .sides the business sides./

RHEUMO CURES GOUT AS WELL AS RHEUMATISM.

RHEUMO not only cures Rheumatism, but it also cures Gout, Sciatica, Lumbago, and all kindred diseases. Mr Herbert J. Williams, J.P., Past Grandmaster of New Zealand Constitution of Freemasons, gives his experience in proof of this: — "I suffered periodic acute attacks of Gout, which confined me to my room for several weeks at a time. The last attack occurred years since, and medical treatment entirely failed. Accidentally hearing of RHEUMO, I tried it as aii experiment, and in forty-eight hours was on my feet again. Since that time I have immediately resorted to the medicine on the slitrhtfst premonitory symptoms, and three do c es have inevcrv instance allayed them." RHEUMO' does all that is claimed tor it. Permanent cures are effected every dav, and thousands of sufferers have been freed from the tortures of Rheumatism, Gout, Sciatica, and Lumbajro.
