Through ihe lack of a systematic testing of herds, in a dairy, the profit from the good cow goes to take care of the losses made by a poor cow standing at her side.

Miss Harriet King, a romantic American girl, recently placed hename and address in a bottle, which she sealed, and, while out fishing in a motor-launch threw the bottle into the sea. The girl asked that whoever found the bottle should communicate with her, and she admitted to her friends that "important things might happeu." The bottle floated from New York, and was tin ally found at Manteo, North Carolina, by a septuagenarian married negro, with twelve children. The negro sent his portrait to Miss King, and hinted that the present state of his finances alone prohibited him from coming to Xew York to "make the acquaintance of the lady." •

Some excitement was caused n George Street, Sydney, the other day, a lady's lint being the cause of the trouble. Some ladies were taking refreshments in a. cafe, when the hat of one of them fell out of the window on to the verandah below. A gallant gentleman attempted to rescue the head-gear. He was successful in getting through the window, but immediately his hold slipped, and he crashed on to the glass awning 1.0 feet below. The wire-netting and glass were not sufficient to stop his progress, so he 'continued through to the footpath. LuckiJy— at least luckily for him—he fell heavily on to a passing citizen, and escaped injury. The other man had his head gashed, and he was taken to a chemist's shop close by. The of the impact attracted hundreds to the scene, but in a few minutes nothing could be observed but a large white feather on a blue hat on the top of the verandah, waving , go fly m-.ijuß breeze.
