March 3 was the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the medical school of the University of Sydney. On March 3, 1883, Professor Anderson Stuart • arrived in Sydney from Edinburgh and started the school. He had four students, and for Iwo years the class .was held in a little brick cottage, before the original school was built. Now tiro professor has 460 regular students taking the full medical 'curriculum, besides the students in (lie dental, pharmacy, veterinary, and agriculture classes who take part of the course. Twice the original school lias been enlarged. For 28 years before Sydney had its medical school there was a medical school at Melbourne, but, Sydney has now considerably the greater number of students. And the product of the Sydney Medical School can hold their own with any.—Sydney "Daily Telegraph."

"Dairymen aro slaves,'' heatedly remarked a witiicss before the Food Commission at Sydney on March i. "I work 14 days a week." It was a dairyman who'was riving .evidence, and tho chairman (Mr. T. E. Bavin) smiled at the idea of u man putting two weeks into one. "I do? 1 the witncfS bluntly continued, "and work longer hours than you." "I hope von do not," tho chairman explained. "Yes, and Sundays and holidays arc all the same to me," the other answered. Tie added that it could easily be arranged to talce only, one delivery on Sundays and holidays, as most people were nway from home. Dairymen, he considered, were most oppressed people. When children were ill the first question the doctor asked was; "Who do you get your milk from?" "It is," he went on, "the same when typhoid and diphtheria are about— who do you get your milk from?" The butcher and tho baker, the witness proceeded with some feeling, were never mentioned. The baker would touch the bread while lie had his pipe in his mouth, but the dairyman's liamis never came in contact with tta milk. The usual weekly stock sale will be held at "Levin on Friday, March 11. The ><tle, which will begin' nt iJ.3O a.m.. will bo conducted by ilcisrs, Dalgety and Co.
