The Oamaru Mail says: 11 Wo have been shown a spurious two-shilling piece, of which there are evidently a large number in oiroulation.

T. E. Taylor and his two juvenile at* tendants are still disturbing the country, and taking up the time of Parliament with demands for inquiry into the voucher episode. Not content with the petition of the four Civil servants in question, they have fired some outsiders’ petitions at the M to Z Committee for digestion, and there is every indication that this obstructionist trio will keep up its attitude until the end of the session. It is going to cost this country as much money as it can while it can. We anticipate that T. E. Taylor will continue to make this session a period of annoyance and discomfort until the Parliament ot 1905 dissolves. That is T. E. Taylor’s idea of the duty of a legislator. It is a pity that Parliament can't invent some means of suppressing nuisances, because T. E. Taylor is becoming nothing more nor less. He is a man with a grudge and, consequently, to be avoided. His grievances against R. J. Seddon have got on his brain to the exclusion of everything else, including the few really Liberal ideas T. E. Taylor formerly advocated. He has become a stumbling block in the political highway, and he ought to be removed.—Christchurch Truth.

The following interesting item is from the Waikato Independent.—Mr I. Hopkins, Government Bee Expert, who recently inspected the bee farms in the Cambridge district/ visited the State farm, at Ruakura, for the pur pose of laying out an extended apiary There are now 15 colonies of bees on

the farm, and during the coming season the number is to be augmented to about 40 by means of natural or Artificially induced increase. Mr Hopkins will make the Ruakura beefarm a complete experimental estab-

lishment to assist apiarists in keeping right up-to-date in every branch of tho industry, including its commercial side. A similar apicultural station is to be established, on the State Farm at Levin. Mr Hopkins is gratified by the improvement of the Waikato as a bee-keeping district during the last few years, and considers it potentially second to none. He is confident that the industry will witness a great expansion in the near future.
