The unusual spectacle in South Canterbury seen on a recent morning was a covey of nine grey partridges in a young wheat field just alongside the railway line between Morven and Willowbridge. As it was (thought that it was impossible to acclimatise partridge in New Zealand and several importations died oil. it would be interesting to know whdre the covey came from. The Dutch bulb-grower becomes more poetic every year. His fancy is now over-flowing, so to speak, on to the .postal wrapper containing the catalogue. “We have arrived,'’ says the wrapper in effect. “I am happy, my dear, that I have succeeded in taking you here. Now my task is done—we must separate. But your mission is only beginning. Tell the addresser (sic) that I know everything on earth must come to an end. lam net afraid to go down by niyself, tell him it is net necessary, that you, my dear catalogue, should recompany me into the paper basket.’’ How many people resist that appeal ? 39in.

Gustav Stres.eman (the German Chancellor and Foreign Minister) was educated at Berlin and Leipzig universities, and before he was 30 he had a National Liberal seat in the Reichstag. During the war he advocated Parliamentary reforms, and in 1917 he attacked Chancellor Bethniann-Hollweg on this point, his real object being to prevent a nalliance between Bethmann and the Centre-Left in favor of peace. In war-time he was a supporter of German annexations and a ruthless Üboat war. To Britain he says: “The collapse of Germany and unemployment in Britain are identical. German Bolshevism ir. British Bolshevism. If Germany lies, then Europe dies also.’’

Mr T. McPherson of the National Mortgage and Agency Coy., left by car to-day on a holiday trip to the Lakes. The daily express service between Christchurch and Invercargill, and a daily service to Kingston starts on December 15, says a Dunedin P.A. telegram. Readers are advised to note the change for the closing date of tbo tenders for the Waimate County Council for the supply of bridge material. Full pajrticulars are advertised in this issue. Road Race, first week in December. Enquire McLauchlan Bros. “It is undesirable and impossible to make everybody speak exactly alike. There is no such thing as standard English in that sense.’’ So said a lecturer at the Teachers' Vacation Courst in London. A cultured Scotsman, he said, was naturally different from a cultured Englishman, and it would be ridiculous to try and turn a Scotsman into an Englishman. The same thing applied to the Irishman and the Welshman. They wanted to get rid of town peculiarities, which were social in their bearing. This was of the greatest importance in the teaching profession. It ought to bo the main subject of training colleges, because the teaching profession was largely recruited from people of comparatively humble origin. Teachers did not want to carry’ their humble origin with them like a mill-stone round their necks for the rest of their lives. That was true of every boy in an elementary school, and the greatest service one could do for him was to eliminate those peculiarities of speech which, in after life, would mark him out as being different from other people with whom he associated. The recent proposal to open the mouth of the Waitaki River was earned into effect yesterday, when a party of eleven - six of whom were members of the Waimate Acclimatisation Society, one local angler, and four other anglers (from the camp at Waitaki—succeeded in cutting a channel through the shingle bar. The bar was about three-quarter of a chain wide, and fyom five to six feet deep; but the party worked assiduously with shovels, and succeeded in making a satisfactory outlet. The river was running very high, and at 6.30 p.m. when the party left, the water was running strongly thorough the cliannell, scouring out the shingle. One man was left behind to see that the channel did not become blocked today. From Paris comes this itemAn exceedingly grave question in the continuance of the heat wave is what to drink and how much of it to drink, and some interesting medical views have just been expressed in answers to anxious inquirers, fearful lest they are not drinking enough. Much swallowing of large quantities of liquid, particularly’ alcoholic liquids, is, as one doctor points out, provocative of excessive perspiration with all its concomitant discomforts. But. on the other hand, if one does not drink one runs serious risks consequent on blocking of the kidneys: and in face of this ex cathedra pronounc. nient it is fairly safe to assume that the prudent man will hear tile advantages resultant of perspiration rather than expose hhnsolf to the danger of contracting any onp of th? malidies that may supervene on an inadequate flushing of the kidneys. Moreover, though sweating has its dangers, it is healthful from various points of view, and it is not to he forgotten that its inconveniences will be succeeded by a clearing and beautification of the skin—a reminder whicn. coming as it dees from an authoritative source, is calculated to make people who take pride in their personal appearance redouble their efforts to quench their thirst, and consequently to produce copious perspiration. At the same time the wise man will not lose sight of the fact that generous drinking is not necessarily associated with striking facial charms.
