Wool is on the rise. Piugpoiig has been declared a gambling g line by the Ohio State LegiTature. Lieutenant Peary considers the climate of the Arctic regions admirable for consumptives. A Parliamentary return states that 35 persons died trom starvation last year in Loudon. Four tons of frozen Polar hares were brought trom the Ar lie by the Sverdtup expedition ou ln-ard tho I "ram. Mr <Walluutt, land agent, Hamilton, rpits ihe sale of .Mr Wm. Fleming's farm, in ikiriroa, to Mr Harper, late of Queens'and, at a satisfactory figure. Four penny Cape of Good Hope postage tamp? were recently sold in London lor £ ioG." One was what is known as "I ho ourpenuy red error." The steamer Waikare, which left for Sydney on Monday evening, took £!<>, to worth of builion, in tran-i! for London. The gold was shipped by tl.e Waihi Odd Mining ('O. A drover, passing through Murruuiberran. en route to Bonnie Doon Stati >u, Queensland, reported that he lost 0-1-00 out of in, iiio sheep. A farmer's daughter at Glen Jlines, New South Wales, recently fidi a.:iin.-t a miik sepaiator, find her hair catching in the machinery, her scalp was comp'etelv torn off. According to the schedule submitted to the Waitoa Road Board on Saturday last", the Assets Realisation Board have recently disposed of property in that district to the value of £loO-S its lid. Land in the favotue l districts of Victoria commands a high price either to rent or purchase, aud it is surprising to find land of very inferior quality keenly sought for by northern <*razers. Owing to Una growth of the dairy industry in Tarauaki, the grading stores at Patea have had to be enlarged. A new gradingroom has been built, which Considerably increases the floor space, and the capacity of the freezing plant has been doubled. Many Queensland pastoralists have decided to stack ther wool until rain falls, as the prevailing rates of carriage are almost prohibitive. The st-t-e of the roads gtn *raliy and the high price of feed are causing many carriers lo suspend bu-iness altogether. The Finnish newspapers report that a new religious sect has appeared in Finland iti the neighbourhood of the town of Borga. Among tho innovations in belief and worship adopt 0 1 by the sect is the u.-e of bread and coffee in the Communion service. Ladies in search of summer costumes of the latest fashions are always certain of suiting their tastes at Messrs Milne and C'hoyee. of Auckland. This year the linn are making special arrangements for their summer display, particulars of which are to be found in this issue. The town of ('anowindra, New South W ales, looked as if it had been bombarded after the recent cyclone passed over it. Large portions of the root's of buildings v.eie picked up distant as far as a mile from the town. The experience was the worst in the recollection of residents of forty years' standing. The Premier left Wellington by the s.s. 'i utanekai 1 n Monday for Nelson. When lie leturus he goes up the Manawatu line as far as Palmerston North, and will be present at a banquet to be given to Mr W. T. Wood, M.H.R. He will then go lO the Maori settlement at Wanganui on Saturday, to deliver an address, at the request of the natives. Teaching the girls how to vote: "In view of the fact that the franchise has been conferred on women in the Commonwealth, and will probably soon be bestowed ou them in the different States, political econonv is uuw taught." says the report of the -vielbourne I'reoljyteiiau Ladies' College Council. The Arawa Cricket Club meets the Rangatiras on Saturday next, when the latter team will be picked on the ground. The secretary of the Union wishes us to not it}' that Messrs Connell and Clayton have been allotted to the Arawas. A leading settler from Forty-mile Beach informs a local paper that he has never known such a backward season. The crops are-not doing at ail well, and the grass, owing to fre-jU ;iit rains, is not nutritious enough to enable the cows to produce really good milk' The settler in question also states that on his own farm he has had to plough four times before ho could get some of his seed in. At a meeting of the commiitee of the Hamilton Bowling Club held last evening, it was docided to ascertain the price of a heavy water roller and also to take im-nied-iite stops to improve the g eon. Several new members were elected. The Hon. S,-c„ Mr Bond, will be glad if members forward their subscriptions early, as funds are required to cany out the improvement s suggested. In another column the Returning Officer for this district, Mr J. S. Bond, published the official return of the Loc il < iption Poll. For the purposes of comparison we give the returns for the previous election in 1 599 : Continuance IMV.i, 1'707 ; 1902, 2'io(i. Reduction—l*99, 12-H: 1902, Bi*7. No License—lSO:', 1115; 1902, L>7. It will be seen that there were 231 votes less recorded for : ontinuance this year, and 112 votes more for No License; making a nett gain, since 18.19, of ;i7:S votes thoughout the electorate towards No L cense: a re-ult that is. we understand, satisfactory to the temperance party. In Auckland tho production of ostrich feathers bids fair to become an important industry. One firm that has been breeding ostriches has found its aCcommodition too small, and has purchased property to the extent of ;>>oo acres, to which it has transferred its s'.ock. It is proposed to largely increase the ostrich flock, and the prospects of the industry may be gauged by the fact that the present supp y of feathers is equal to only about one-third of the Auckland demand, to say nothing to the Southern market. A few months ago reference was made to the import into Brisbane of sugarcane tops for the local dairy cattle, and it may be said that of late this has given way to the prickly pear, the waste lands surrounding the city being systematic illy raided for the cactus. The water hyacinth, which, like another Balaam, came to curse, has stayed t > bless, experience having proved it to be very fair feed for dairy cattle. Along the coastal creeks certain species of mangroves are being extensively used tor fodder, Ihe foliage being greedily eaten by cattle, though horses won't touch it. One drawback incidental to the practice of medicine by women is (says the Medical Press), " the unconscionable time they require to respond to a night call, A man jumps iuto his dressmg-gi wn and trips lightly down the stairs, twisting his moustache into shape as he goes. The Woman doctor, on the other hand, has to go through numerous solemn rites before she dare show herself in public, and it may well happen that the time cents l'ned in this femiuely-regnrded indispensable preparation appears to the sufferer and his friends to b> unduly long. If women are to hold their own in medicine they will have to discover a means of obviating this and sundry other drawbacks incidental to their sex." CH \NG L oF A\ ATER often brings on diarrhoea. For this reason many experienced travellers carry a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with them to be used in case of an emergency. This preparation has no equal as a cure for bowel complaints. It cannot be obtained while on board the cars or steamship, and that is where it is most likely to be needed. Buy a bottle before leaving home. W. DEY, Agent, Hamilton ; THOMAS WELLS, \gent Cambridge; GEo. M. A. AHIER, Agent, Te Awamutu, sell it.

c -rding to Mr .danger, M.H.R., there are t i.ty total ab-iainers in the Commonwealth Parliament, and the bar is the leastfrequented place in the House. R 'V. Matthew "Walker. a prisonser in the Orange (iaol, has been sentenced to two 1111"nths' imprisonment for rclu'iu"- to give evidence at tlm Quarter Sessions. Mr 1 anemic, accoiding to his own compulation, maoe ;o a fraud, has recently given away n.Mrly i'.i.u n.nooa year. lie averages about ibrarii s a •.lay, giving an average of «i to each- Apparently lie doe- not an'iclpafea cessation of his daily gifts. Says the Johannesburg corre-ponde l l. f the Times :—The hard fact must I e fa -ed that we are going to have a long strug'do lo make S, nth Africa British in heart °as well as in name. The lesson is being taught every day, so why should it bo ignored : The prosperity of tho c.untry will prove a powerful lev. r in our hands and iuii<t form the koyu .to of our policy. It' future generations can say "until the British ivgim • we did not ku >w what prosperity meant," the integrity of the Empire will never seriously be threatened." The Johannesburg correspondent of the Cologne Gazette, one of the most influential papers in G finally, remarks that th 3 idea that the Boers will in a few years again take up arms is a mistak 11 one. " T am firmly convinced," h says, " that this race will not fight unless driven to desperation. English schools can only do the Boers good, since they will there learn to enlarge their views and ideas. England holds the d stiny of So th Africa and the Br tish power in that country in her own hands : even thing depends on her treatment of the B ers.'" Pastoralists' Rjvie-v notes:—The pastoral outlook is a month worse than it was at the time of our last issue. In parts of New South Wales, notably the Liverpool Plains and in the agricultural areas of South Australia, there have, indeed, been light rain-, but few and far between are the places where it can be said that the position has distinctly improved since August, while the great majority are hanging ou, growing more aud more desperate. This is particularly the case in Queensland (though there have been light rains on the Darling Downs and southern parts', which has got no relief at all, and where the available change of country for starving stock is exhausted. We never remember through all these drought-stricken years so heavy a gloom settled over the pastoral interest of Australia. The Typographical Union and the Railway Union at Charlotte, North Carolina in the United States, are taking little children out of tho factories and putting them at school at their own (the unions) expense. This policy (says a contemporary) cannot abolish child-labour in the factories any more than tne old humane policy of buying the freedom of individual slaves could have abolished slavery, but the new policy like tho old—by reason of its concrete helpfulness will stir the heart of the nation more than scores .of resolutions against tiie false system, and when the public heart is fairly stirred the false system will go. 1 he Belfast Magistrates once announced that they would inflict a fine of f,,rty shillings on any person expressing in public too warm a regard for the future state of any political antagonist. A policeman subsequently came upon an Ornngeman lying in dignified ease 111 the gutter and muttering " lo , To —Apparently he could got no further than the name of the destination to which be desired to consign somebody or Something, so the constable with "a care" in view, endeavoured to help him out. " lo where with whom 1' ho enquired, bending over the Orangeman. But the northern cautiou asserted itself. Rising into a sitting posture, the Orangeman gazed upon tin' ofli.-er. *' Finish it yourself,' he said, '■ it's too expensive for in'." in the opinion of Mr Kowin, colonial representative of sever*il lo.rtre houses in London which handle New Zealand dairy produce, it is almost certain that cheese will realise the record price of HOs per cwt in London this season. There is likely to be a shortage owing to the fact that some countries which exported cheese largely last year are now paying more attention to the production of butter. Tlr> Government Dairy Commissioner believes that those factories in New Zealand which are shipping their butter on consignment this season would have been wise to have accepted the offer of Bid per lb made by the agents of English houses, as there are indications that the article will be in large supply at Home shortly. Big stocks of Russian and Canadian butter are in cold store and the output of the factories in those countries will be considerably greater than that of last year. The western breakwater of the Macquarrie (TaO harbour works which Mr C. Napier Bell is carrying out has been completed. Macqiiarrie Harbour is a grand sheet- of water, 120 square miles in extent, with'deep water all over it. It has, however, a bar at the entrance, aud two miles of sin a! water just inside the bar. MiBell s works will increase the depth on the bar to 2ott. at low water. They consist of a western breakwater 3800 ft long just completed, an eastern one 7000 ft long, and a training wall, a mile and three-quarters long, inside, to deal with tde shoal water inside. The breakwaters are being built at a total cost (including all plant) of £lO l"s a foot. The completion of the design for these works is at present delayed on financial considerations, but wheu completed, and the full depth of water attained Macquarie Harbour will be one of the finest in the colonies, as inside the shoals at the entrance it is 27 inile3 long, from five to seven miles wide, and from 60ft to 100 ft deep all over it. The railway lines from Zehan and Mount Lyell have their terminus at Strahan. Mineral deposits of silver, copper, tin, and load are very nnmerous over a wide area, which lias Macquarie Harbour for its outlet. TEN BOLD ASSERTIONS.
