After disposing of certain matters of routine, the council went into committee on the question of an 1 appointment to the chair of commerce at the college, but no . definite deeisiou was avrived at. A return recently compiled by the clec'tf'ic lighting <i»partment shows' that for the year just closed 2350 lamps had to bo renewed in the city streets, 1550,0f which had been maliciously broken. Dozens of lamps aloiiz the Hutt Road, between- the city and Kaiwarra, are, it is stated, broken annually by passing drivers who delight in picking the globes off with their whips as a test of skill. Small boys in unfrequoned thoroughfares are 'constantly usin gsfreet lamps as ii target for missiles of all descriptions, and frequently the pea ride is used to pick off the expensive Osram lamps when nobody is about to see the damage done. it is estimated that it costs JC.iOO per annum to replace street lamps maliciously destroyed. . In.nttempi.imr to leap a six-foot wall at the Military Hipnodrome at Rome, Lieutenant Charles Frederick Dugclalo was killed recently. His horse caught its forelegs in tho wall, and. pitching the rider to the ground, fell heavily upon him. Lieutenant Dugdale's death was instantaneous. He was twenty-seven years of age.

Then comes tho other matter: you must be careful where you get human hair. It is not necessary to go into particulars, but some human hair may bo more dangerous than tho imitation hair is. Mrs. Rolleston only imports fastidiously selected and pure human hail from the very best and most conservative English and Continental coiffeurs, and is able to match any shade or texture. She can give you just tho hair you want, at prices strictly -moderate.
