Since the closing of the hotels, frequent applications have been made to tho city "magistrates for orders enabling the applicants to obtain liquor for invalids (says tho Auckland "Herald"). The magistrates hare pointed oat that tho order issued by them forbidding the sale of liquor does not extend to any apothecary, chemist, or drugget administering or selling any spirituous distilled or fermented liquors for medicinal purposes." The magistrates hay* also informed the members of tho Licensed Victuallers' Association that tho order they have given does not prevent licensees from receiving bona-fido travellers and visitors, and supplying them while they are Jiving in the hotels with liquor in reasonable quantities, for consumption on tho premises.

All tho Canterbury trout stream* wer© reported clear yesterday morning. - The proprietor and staff of the Rail Hotel have forwarded £2 12s 6d to the Mayor for the Lilley Fund. The steamer Athenic, which departed tor London on Tuesday, carried 1293 bags of newspaper mail, and 178 parcel receptacles, of a total weight of 92,?901b. This is tho largest mail ever despatched by a direct steamer. Alfred Edmund Tomlinson. charged ' at the Wellington Magistrate's Court yesterday with failing to account for certain money to his employers, Cfoiii n and Co.. Ltd., and with sotting tire to certain books and paoers in Gollin and Co. s offices, was committed for trial, A carpenter connected with the railway service at Clinton, a Xo-license district in Southland, having been dismissed from the service for being convicted of sly grog-celling, representations were made to the General Manager by the A.S.R.S., who further considered the matter, and decided, k view of the special circumstances brought forward, to allow tho man to retire on superannuation. A meeting of the committee of the Canterbury toweot Poa and Carnation Society was held on Thursday. It was reported that tho Minister of Internal Affairs had gr&nted permission to hold an art union in connexion with the show. Mr Laird, of Wanganui offered £1 Is as a special prize in the rose section, and Messrs Cooper, Ltd , Wellington a collection of sweet pea seed for tho best vnso of sweet ,pras in the show. The memberahiD was reported to be 196. It has been decided by tho Federal Executive that all grants from tho Commonwealth Literary Fund shall, in the first instance, be for one year only. At the expiration of that period thoy aro to bo reviewed. This course js duo to the fact that on oao or two occasions more necessitous cases than those already dealt with have been brought under notice after tho fund has _ been practically exhausted, and it has boon impossible to afford any relief. Literary pensions already in force, are not to be affected by the decision. * According to a "witness at the Cost ■ of Laving Luquiry at Sydney last week,' the "bonus" syetom is extensively operated by Sydnoy house agents. Witness herself had many times beun asked for sums of money when going into a new house, and some agenfci made a regular practice of demanding from £3 to £3 before they would even ' discuss business. Her present landlord had demanded —and obtained— 35s from her irhon she took possession. Now he was advertising another house in her neighbourhood, to be let at a weekly rental of 15s, on payment of * £3 bonus. Mr Connington (for the Trades and Labour Council) referred to •what he termed the rapacity of eomp landlords, and his remark brought a rejoinder from Mr Jnjstico Hoydon. Said his Honour, "They are."only human." The Christchurch Technical College authorities have been trying to oncourago initiative on tho part of the boys who are taking Woodwork in the Standard VI. classes of tho Schools by allowing thorn to incorporate' ideas of their own in articles that they were making. The s-rtiHe jn general, been tho boy's own chyce, and in all cases working drawings been made before the work nas been attempted. The result has been that a considerable stimulus has been given to the work. In order to rivo the public ■ an opportunity of seeing the valuable work that is being done, the Education Board has arranged for a display of "... some, of tho exercises in tho window of * Messrs Hastie, Bull, and Pickerinß. ' i The oxhibition is, on tho wlole, a splendid one, many of tho articles showing extremely good workmanship. The crayfish industry is now at its height olf . tho coast of New riouth Wales.; Mr'David■•Q..,.'Stead, tho Government fisheries expert, eays;—'This is a highly profitable, industry, capabio of great expansion if the modern methods practised by a few of the fishermen were followed by many others. The crayfish always find a ready sale. As showing the possibilities oF this industry, it may .bo mentioned that during tho last two or throe years enterprising fishermen have exported crayfish in a frozen state to Cairo and Asiatic Turkey, and even to Germany, ■where they have brought as much as 8d per Ib. The same people also inaugurated » ; '"tirade with those ports in mullet roes, which are first soaked in brine, then dried, and finally, immersed in paraffine, so. as. to give them an im- ", pervious coating. Theso roes are 6old in that etate to wealthy Mussulmans, who munch them as we would eat > cakes. The retail price is not less tban 5s ncr lb. This trade has resulted in mullet roe becoming more valuable than : the fish itself.■ . " ' J■ ' ■ Regarding' tho Suggestion' that a • tubercular home be erected in Auckland, the chairman of the Hosn'taJ Board moved, at Tuesday's, meeting of tho Board: —"That the medical staff bo; requested to report to th& Board definitely as to whether a surgical ward or a tubercular home is the more urgent requirement of the hospital at the present time." Dr. Florence Keller strenuously opposed the-motion. Of the medical staff she contended laccording to the "Herald") that only one - or two came in contact with tubercular case 3, though all were much interested in surgery. "You know you are quite safe," eho remarked to the' chairman. "Of course, they will bring down a report in your favour. "Yon aro only • muzzling tho horse that treads ont the, corn." Mr Mennie's motion met mth little support, only one other member of the Board supporting it. It va»then moved that a committee be set up to enquire into the question of » site and the necessity for a tubercular home, and report to the Board, borne discussion followed as to whether con-, sumption was on the decrease or not. and if tho number of cases in Auck- . land warranted the erection of an institution, and there was also some diJsension on the question of whether a homo was needed most ior the incnr;. able or incipient cases. The motion was ultimately carried by a largo majority,;. Messrs J. and A. Brown, the ,big :'. Newcastle colliery firm, have receives ; advico from their San Francisco house, ! ; dated October 20th, concerning the ' strides crude oil is making in display, in" coal as fuel. Tho lotter firet refers to"tho troubles which recently occurred at Pelaw Main colliery, and goes on to . say: —"It seems a terrible pttv that these etrikes come so frequently a* - Pelaw Main colliery. The miners woujo appear to have n set on it- *%***?' they are only cutting thnr own tnjoatf, . as the foreign trade will go elsewhere, and more particularly * h «J "* Panama Canal is-opened. tho Union Oil Company, also the»6tan dard Oil Company, have already en tered into tho crude o business wf£ south as Peru and Cb.le, and they Wβ doing all they poesiblv can to B«-H" • railroads in this country to use crude oil instead of coal: and we **&****£ r that there is a possibility of the «U roads going clean over to oil. In j££ instance, electricity will bo the po«£ but in a general way oil will be in «» wherever there is a locomotive. J • met in San Francisco ti in" gentleman high up in official circles g Chile, and he informed us that the Chilian Government has now all bat . decided to malte the change He «so said that many of their short railway lines will have electricity as tho motive ■ power, and all the othrrs it is jniir expected, within a couple of years vw be using nothing but crude oU. W» Standard Oil Company, tho Imor. cm Companr, and the General, Prt™«»s ' Company appear to ho all in the 6eg for this* business. We nre ai'O M» that tho Shell Transportation Co. ana an oil company (a British concern) are also after tho business."

The local secretary of the Associated Board of the Royal Academy ot Music and Royal College ot Music, explains that in the list of successful candidates nnbfched on Wednesday the name pf Miss Lily H. Wark was inadvertently omitted "from the list of those who had Raised tha higher school examination, ffjlim W. A. Burns and A. M. Barns passed in the intermediate grade. A few of the local centre pupils have •nt vet passed the rudiments examinaSγ and should not have had their t-anics down as passed pending the examination.

Tor the Westiand Goldfields Jubilee, in the second week of January, the tiokitika Committee is now completing £final arrangement*. The subscriptions received have reached £149. It £ intended, that pioneers of the field who are old age age pensioners shall be entertained for a week, and the Union Seam Ship Company will grant them lassages by its steamers at 25 per cent faction "on the ordinary fare, and S Government will grant them free carriage on the railway. The Manning Committee pay the fares by JtoSer, and undertake to find accommodation for the old people if apnlicatjon is made- prior to T>ecember 2,th.

A matter affecting the question of relitrous observance was argued betoro Mr jVtico Williams at Dunedin ?esierdav morning. John Jameson asks tor Ihe removal of church trustees and anoointment of new ones on tho gSSS that in the past the, service renuirod worshippers to stand during waver ana sit while singing. Under tho tSe deeds, if attempts are made to introduce, innovations oy inslrtuncirfll SET or otherwise, the property reverts to the objectors, borne years ago J majority of the congregation reversed the older of nittina *ml standing, and to tfi» thel plaintiff objects. The queslion turns on the interpretation or otherwise. Judgment was reserved

The President of the Caroline Bay Association addressed a letter to tho new Gmeral Manager of Rail*aye, nointinc out the attractions of ItSara as a holiday resort, and" suggesting that the experiment oF issuing cheap week-end trips to Timaru from Christchurch and Oamaru and intermediate station* and branches, during the holiday months would be justified. Mr Craiiite, as member for nmaru, the Minister for Railways in support of Mr Cray's letter and tho Minister replied etating that he was directing the responsible officers of tho Department to report to him on tho .supßcstion, and when a decision had been arrived at it would be communicated to Mr Craigie.

The person who suffers from a delu«jon which -.ikes the form of thinking that he or she has boon poisoned is by no means a stranger to the medical staff 'tt Melbourne Hospital, according to the "Age." A man who knocked at the casualty room door the other day, however, had something tangible to show in-support of his hallucination; although he was obviously J suffering from fear rather than from poison. He gave the name of Trcgoagh, a kitchen hand on beard the steamer Katoomba, and ho .produced a piece of bread, with which, ho said, he had been poisoned. Ho explained that feeling "peckish," ho took the bread from, a drawer on tho boat and ate .some of it. His shipmates, with every shot? of sincerity, toM him that the bread was kept for poisoning rats, and, being too alarmed to appreciate the jbko,, he rushed off at"once to,'the.."-hospital. TXr. Meade could find no symptoms indicative of poisoning, and a telephone message to the ship, elicited the information that there were no rats on board. "When Treageagh was pronounced "out of danger' , his melancholy expression changed immediately to one of gladness, and he departed, apparently failing, even at the last, to realise that he had been the victim of a clownish joke.

Quite apart from the fact that ho oftenthnes goes through life in constant dread of an enemy's apear, the Papuan should indeed be-' happy (says the "Age.") According to the Ker. Copeland Jving; the native people of the Commonwealth's most northern' territory are ideal Socialiste.. Their form of local government is quite communistic. Despotic, hereditary chieftainship gives place to a purely democratic} method, whereby the man most fitted in their various spheres of life is elected chief, of that sphere. Were Senator Millon a Papuan he. would doubtless be fighting chief. Mr Graham would in all probability be plantation chief, and in that-capacity would decide for! a* whole Tillage what land was to be cleared" for the year, and whether the season was more adopted to an extensive sowing of yams or of taro roots.' They have'their water chief, who, like Mr Elwood Mead, supervises their irrigation, for the Papuan knows "the full value of water. And co on. in their many walks of, life, they have their elected ministers. Their prime minister is yet to be discovered, and "in all probability the first Papuan who suggested an opposition would be hanged to the nearest cocoanut palm. Notwithstanding this seemingly deplorable state.of affairs, our brown friends get on passing well. As an illustration of their communism, Mr King states that should a man, or even a minister, be taken ill or have occasion to leave his home and visit'a distant village, it matters not how; long he is abed or away 4 his garden—(for the Papuans are primarily agriculturists) —will, as a matter of course, be assiduously tended by his neighbours.

An unusual incident happened during the sitting of the Hou*e of Representatives (says the Melbourne '"Ago '). Late- in the afternoon, while the Attorney-General was speaking on the Abolition .of Preference Bill, the bells of the House started t*> ring. They began ringing suddenly, unexpectedly, without any apparent cause or reason. The opeaker hurriedly 6 ent a messenger to ascertain what was the matter, but the official was unable to discover. The bells, apparently, wero ringing themselves. Meanwhile those members who were absent in the lobbies of the Queen!s Hall came hurrying into the Chamber with a look of bewilderment on their faces. They imagined they were being summoned to a division, and could not make out what the division was for. They found there was no division, that the AttorneyGeneral was still on his feet, and that he was endeavouring to make his voice heard above the "jans»ling and the wrangling" of mysterious, phantom bells which were operated by no one and came from, nowhere. After the sound had continued for five or six miputes, the Speaker eaid he would adjourn the House till the noise ceased. The Prime Minister, making a joke of the strange situation, called out cautiously: *'I move that the bells be no : longer heard." Sfembers wore just beginning to file out of the Chamber, with the intention of coming back later, when th<? bells censed ringing ai suddenly and unexpectedly as they had hegun. Whether they had got" into tho habit of ringing, in consequence of the frequent calls for a division of lnt-e. or whether thp>- had started on their own account to profit against Mr Irvinp's ensures on political unionism, or whether the electrical disturbance outside was the cause.! no member of the House was informed.

At the Supreme Court at Blenheim yesterday, fcdward Aylmer 'ieran.ro ivenny, for perjury, breaking and entering and theft, was sentenced to twelve months' reformative treatment, and John Somerville Dall, for forgery and uttering, to twelve months' reformative treatment. A Palraerston Press Association telegram ju . yesterday morning's issue stated that Mr K. McXab bad discovered certain sacks of documents at Sjitney. As a matter of fact (says a later message), Mr McXab had been allowed by the authorities to investigate the contents of these sacks, which bad been discovered a few years ago. The Rev. J. Flanagan will preach tomorrow morning in the Durham street South Mission Church. In the afternoon he will deliver a lecture on "Taking Men Alive/ in the Grand Theatre, and in the evening will conduct an evangelistic tervice in the samo building. Each night during tho week he will preach in tiie Durham street South Mission Hall.

At abo;it 11 o'clock last night, a seaman belonging to tho Dorset, much the worse for liquor, lost his way at the port, and wandered along the wlwrf to where tho Northern is berthed. The officer of the watch, noticing the man's condition, hauled up the gangway to prevent him from boarding the vessel, and a minute or two later heard a splash. Tho seaman fell into the water between tho boat and the wharf, but kept himself afloat till one of the engineers of the Northern descended to the water's edge and placed a rope round the man, who wns hauled on to the wharf, none the worse for his adventure.

A small boy was wheeling a sack of potatoes in a hand-cart along Colombo street, near Moorhouso a»enue, about five o'clock last evening, nhen he was stopped by two men under'tho influence of drink. One called out: "Come on. mate, these arc 'scab' spuds.'' and tho mate thereupon drew his knife and ripped the sack open from the top. Ho then took a potato. a:id on the boy asking what he wns going to do with it. remarked: "You'll ace what I'll do with it," at tho same time cutting it iii nieces across his knee. But ho was evidently not an expert vith the knife, for ho inflicted a deep j;ash in the calf of his leg near tho shin-bone. Tho wound bled profusely, but a doctor was soon ill attendance, and 1 id it stitched up. The man, who is well known to the police, was then taken into custody on a charge of drunkenness and wilful damage to the sack of potatoes. He will appear before the Court this morning. * ' '

'"B" Squadron, Ist Mounted Eifles (C.V.C.), go into camp at Tai 'Japu to-day till tbe 29th inst, both days inclufcivc. Yesterday two waggons left King ]idw«rd Barracks for the camp site, carrying camp equipment, tents, cooking utensils, forage, etc., and tho troops will Jeavo for the camp today, Christchurch, Belfast, antl kaia--1.30 p.m., Yaldhurst, Tai Tapu, and West Melton parading at their own centres at the same hour, Hatkett men parading at West Melton. The camp Is being held for the purpose of putting in the ten night drills and twelvo halfday parades required, also tho proscribed course of musketry. >>o daily rate of pay is to bo given, and tho'ranks are to pay their proportion of the c6st of the camp, computed at £1 per man. Snorts aro to be held during the camp,'with a team for the Auckland Exhibition in. view. It was a question of being ablo to trace footsteps on the dewy grass across the Houhora racecourse, and Mr London was trying at the Auckland Supreme Court to get from another witness the feasibility of this Sherlock Holmes feat. Tho racecourse is evidently a ehort-cut from the hotel to tho main road. There was also eomo indication of tho accused person having imbibed freely the night before the blaze, which originated the charge; "I suppose," said counsel, "that ; a drunken man would not go across the course, but would stick to tho main road, which is of white sand and more- easily • followed?" "No," replied the witness, "the drunks take to the course, and getting .on .the track, -go round and round." "Oh," said counsel,, '"and so get back to the hotel again—a very useful adjunct to an hotel." Mr James Allen, M.L.A., Queensland, who is at present visiting New Zealand; states. that Bible-reading in the State schools has been going on for two years in that State. Selected Jostwns, compiled very carefully in the form of a text-book, are now part of the regular.curriciilum, and by arrangement ministers of the various religious denominations, may visit the sohools at appointed times once a week to •givo instruction to the children of parents belonging to their denominations.. At first there were some objections on the part of some of the teachers, who considered that they were being burdened with another branch of etudy, but the objections, have disappeared, and the innovation introduced two years ago is working smoothly. t It is too early, as yet, to judge what the results are* but none of. the trouble, the bigotry, or tho sectarian strife that was prophesied by the opponents of Bible-reading in State echools.has, go far, resulted from its introduction

An interesting experimpnt was conducted yesterday afternoon, when some fifteen hundred children representing the upper standards of the majority of the city and suburban schools attended a matinee picture performance at His Majesty's Theatre. The programme was specially selected and approved of by the headmasters, thn chief idea being to cover geographical work done by the children during the year. The experiment was the outcome of tho recommendation of tho Chic* Inspector of Schools and other inspectors, who recognised that properly-selected pictures would be of great educational value. One of the Board's inspectors told a reporter" yesterday afternoon that it was not proposed to hold any more matinees this year, as a sufficient interval would bo allowed to enable the teachers .to deal • with the subjects taken, and generally to gauge tho value of the cinematograph as a means of conveying instruction. Ho recognised that' tho scheme had not been tried at its best, because great improvements could be made in the class 'of film screened. There was no question that the children enjoyed tho programme thoroughly, and it was quite refreshing to witness a programme which contained no over-drawn comic films, and no absurd Indian creations, and none of the American stereotyped dramas. Canadian. Japanese, and English scenic pictures were shown, along tn several good industrial subjects, and the programme was interspersed v.ith nlms calculated to provoko healthy amusement.

At a special general meeting of the Well l.gton branch of the ><ew Zealand Post'ami Telegraph. Officers' Association, held last evening, and attended by about 150 members, the following resolution was carried after an interesting discussion i— "That this meeting of the -Wellington branch oftho >ew Zealand Post and Telegraph Officers Association regrets the deadlock that has arisen between its representatives and the Public Service Commissioners. 1. is of the opinion that the wording °* the resolution complained of shouldl be amended, so as to remove any suggestion of unfair differentiation by the Commissioners against the Pest and Telegraph Service as compared with other Government departments, and this having been done, requests the executive of the Association to respectSfiFSJiSU the Commissions J** a view to the discussion of the whole of the resolntions oassed by the C-on-krence" The following resolution Sβ also carried r-'-Thai th>s roertjns

Messrs Boath and Co.. Ltd., are making a window display -which should be of" unusual interest to Christchurch ladies. Three of the firm's largo show windows have been thrown into one, and the whole of this space is devoted to an exposition, of linens on a scale rarely attempted m the Dominion. Messrs Beath and Co. are known as specialists in fine linen beyond the borders of Canterbury, but this display eclipses even what one expects from such a progressive firm. It includes every kind of bed, table, and fancy linen, and all our readers should make a point of seeing it. 5
