The first consignment of this season’s apples from Hastings and Nelson, totalling 27.000 cases, left Wellington by the Port Dunedin on Tuesday. It is understood that a North Taranaki dairy factory recently concluded the sale of 0000 boxes of the Febru-ary-April make of butter at one shilling and a farthing per pound.

“Painting the Clouds with Sunshine” in Sydney, a pedestrian kicked over the hat, and the coins therein jingled on the pavement. After helping to pick them up—and, naturally, adding one—the pedestrian walked on. Returning half an hour later, he saw a. lady helping to pick up the coins. She, too, had overturned the hat. Grown suspicious, he kept tab, and noticed the musician gradually edging the hat with his foot into the line of travel. In less than ten minutes he got another bite.
