Pakatoa Island, where the Salvation "Army ha 3 been conducting an inebriates' home for some time, was recently reported as about to be auctioned. The Army, however, have come to terms with the vendors, and purchased the island outright. The price has not been made known. The island (says the " Dominion's " Auckland correspondent) will be used exclusively for women patients. Ruthes Island will be used for men, and is now almost ready for occupation.

At the quarterly meeting of the board of management of the Taranaki Street Methodist Church, "Wellington, the following resolution was unanimously and heartily carried: —" That this meeting records its high appreciation of, and congratulates the Wellington citizens on, the magnificent mission conducted by our Anglican brethren, and thanks Almighty God for the spiritual good resulting therefrom."

A conference was held at Gisborne on Wednesday between sis representatives of the " sheepowners of Poverty Bav and sis representatives of the local Shearers' Union, in an endeavour to effect a settlement in connection with the dispute as to the rate of shearers' wages.

A comparison between the Licensing Bill just introduced by Sir Joseph Ward and the one introduced by -Air Seddon in 1904 is interesting, states a Parliamentary correspondent.

The original draft of ilr Seddons bill also contained a national option clause, though, this was never submitted to Parliament.

Notwithstanding the extremely dry season we are going through the country up the Fairlie line is looking in tip-top order, and the crops are very forward for this time of the year, particularly those from Cave upwards. Of course the present season's prospects are not quite so promising as they Vera f-hi"a time last year, but taking it all round the shortage of rain uas Wot yet affected that part of the country to any great extent. The farmers generally expect this season to be well up to the average, r.lthough they admit a good downpour of rain Irould be very beneficial to the county.

Respecting the approaching -shearing season in Canterbury, it is understood that a large number of sheds in the district have received applications direct from shearers, and that in niany cases a full complement has been ungaged. The secretary of the Canterbury Sheep-owners' Union has received a large number of applications from shearers in Australia and in the Dominion, and at present it does not appear that there will be any dearth of shearers. Some of the sheds in Canterbury, consequent upon the fine weather being experienced, will be making an early start, and the bulk of the North Canterbury sheds in the front countrv will start- immediately after Show Week.—The '"Press."

Several very appreciative notices have appeared in the London and provincial papers regarding the New Zealand exhibit at the White City this year. The following notice is from the "Pall Hall Gazette" :—''New Zealand alone among our overseas dominions has an excellent exhibition of her manufactures and industries in. the White City. And a remarkably interesting collection of the products of that well-favoured country is to be seen. The mineral and agricultural resources of the islands are abundantly illustrated, as is the great progress made in recent years in different branches of industry and manufacture. A more comolete exhibition of the progress of tlie Empire in its remotest parts has rarely been seen within our shores, and the New Zealand building should be seen by everybody interested in the country's development."

A Press message states that Mr D. McGregor, whose name was mentioned as a candidate for the Mastertoii seat in tho Opposition interest, has definitely decided not to accept nomination. It is highly probable that Mr Cr. R. Sykes. secretary to the Masterton A. and P. Association, will be the selected Opposition candidate. • The following motion was proposed at Saturday's meeting of the Canterbury A. and P. Association, but was lost:—"That the words in the definition of the Corriedale breed be altered from " tho result of live crosses of in-breeding' to ' a flock that has been bred either solely within itself for fifteen years or bred from a ilock which is eligible under this limit' as laid down by the Corriedale Breeders' Association."

It will be interesting for many people in Timaru to know that in liis annual report on the tiro brigades of Xe\v Zealand, Mr T. Hugo, the Dominion inspector, states that there had been a general and decided improvemei"o in drill, discipline and methods as a whole, with the exception that more attention should be given to rescue and ambulance work, including resuscitation of persons overcome by gas, fire and heat.

The third shot grazed the cheek, just ruffling the flesh and lodging a considerable quantitv of powder in the cheek and side of the nose.

However, the change has put a different aspect on.matters, and a bountiful harvest should follow.

Owing to his unavoidable absence from the Dornmion through his business connections in Australia, Mr D. Macfarlane has resigned his position as Onier of tile local Gaelic Societv. Mr John 1-raser (late chairman of the Tim!Uftn ? rJOUI ® oar( l) has been elected to till the vacancy, and should prove the right man m the right place. The Society have decided to hold a "i-.ind scotch concert on the 27th inst.. particulars or which will be notified in the course or a few days. The best local talent, as well as .Scotch and Gaelic singers from Dunedin and Chrii church have been engaged. In tl eh" researches amongst ancient Celtic literature _ the Society came across a tule.aeed executed in the year 140S by the then chief of the McDonalds, in fsu our or some of his retainers. With the exception of a slight modification in its orthography, the language is the same now as in those days of vore T'le prelude commences with the words In the name of God, Amen," which proves conclusively that Highlanders in those remote times were God-fearing people, and not the savages that some historians try to paint them.

WHAT STANDS FOR. PURITY => THOMSON'S Carbonated Waters «nd Cordials—they stand alone. What other firm in New Zealand can produce drinks in any way approaching them for quality, character, and reputation? NOT ONE! What other firm can truthfully guarantee their cordials wines, etc.. to be absolutely free from a:l chemicals or preservatives, synthetic ally-prepared essences, or adulterations of any kind ? NOT ONE! What other firm can show anything like tile record obtained by Thomson's in the leading International Competitions of the world, J NOT ONE! These things being true—and they are true—is It any wonder that the number of clubs, hospitals, hotels, and private persons throughout New Zealand who "won't have any but Thomson's" increases year by year?...
