Ex-Governor Kanjurlt, upon his recent home-coming to his Irish Estate, informed a body of press men, that he believed there was a great future for the colony, of New Zealand.

Dr. Wohlmann, the Government Balneo*logist, declares that the vast majority of people who betake themselves to places like Rotorua in search of health, are nothing more than dyspeptics of a more or less ag~ gravated type. Their troubles are brought on by eating too much, too often anci too <;v:ckiy ; by mixing their food and hc/aidrecshments too much; and by' eating good lood that has been ruined by bad cooking. He advises patients at a health resort to' restrain their appetites, and, for instance, to cut down their breakfast menu most vigor'ously, and not to follow up oatmeal with fish, bacon and eggs, marmalade, and fruit.

On Saturday night, 22nd inst, Mr J, Mellow had a narrow escape from a serious accident whilst at work in the Undaunted Company's claim at Matakanui. It appears that Mr Mellow and Mr J. M'Elligott were at work under the face when a fall nnezpectably came down, the former being struck by the falling earth and pinned to the ground. After some difficulty, the unfortanate man was extricated from his unenviable position, and taken to Mr Leanny's residence Dr E'Elroy, who was immediately telephoned for, found on arrival that two ribs and the breast bone were fractured, besides which the sufferer sustained numerous bruises. Mr Mellor was able to get abou* after a couple of days, and it will not b/ e long before he is able to resume work.
