Last evening Miss Billing, deputation from tbe Australasian Foreign Missi U try Society, and who has been labouring as a missionaiy for years in the New Guinea Mission, gave an interesting address ori the work of the mission in the Wesley an Schoolroom. There was a good attendance The B«v. S J. Serpell presided, and suitably introduced the speaker of the evening. Miss Billing described the original condition of the New Guineans, and the methods adopted by the mission to raise these degraded and benighted races to the higher plane of ' hristianity and civilisation. She described the school system and also the social condition of the people. The missionaries did not impose European customs and modes of clothing on the people, but let th?m live healthy natural lives, to wear what was suitable for the clinoate, provided it was in accordance with what was right and proper. A practical illustration was civ n of the style of dre's of the native girl who attended the mission schools, and a hymn was sung by a number of Sunday School scholars in the New Guinea language to the tune of " Hold the Fort." At the close of the address Miss Hilling distributed a nunr.ber of "mercy boxes ' to heads of families, in which they can put a small weekly contribution towards the mission The Timaru Herald states : A strange phenomenon was wit> essed at ashburton recently. The railway platform outside the verandah, and the asphult footpath along the front of Baring Square, were covered by a strange coating of what looked like minute giubs. They were almost transparent, and were of the consistency of jellyfish. They measured about talf an inch long and tapered towards one end. They exhibited no sign of life, and caused considerable interest. New shades in Charley a Anne shirts a 1 Olaxton's.—Advt.
