ERECTION OF FENCES. A fence of any of the kinds mentioned in the Second Schedule is a sufficient fence within the meaning of the Fencing Act (5.7). The occupiers of adjoining lands not divided by a sufficient fence are liable to join in or contribute in equal proportions to the erection of a fence between such lands, although such fence may not extend along the whole boundary lino. But no occupier is liable to contribute to any fence which is not, as far as practicable, continuous throughout its length. THE RULES OF THE ROAD. The' Rule of the Road is a paradox quite; For in driving your carriage along, If you bear to the left you are sure to go right, If you turn to the right you go wrong. But in walking the etreets 'tis a different case; To the right it is right wou should steer, On the left should be left enough of clear space For the people who wish to walk there. LEGAL TENDER. Tender of inonew may legally be made—in the cas eof bronze coin 6, for any amount not exceeding Is; in the case of silver coins, not exceeding 40s; in th ecase of gold coins for any amount, unices coined prior to the reign of Queen Victoria (33 and 34 Vic. c. 10, sec. 4, and Royal Proclamation 22, Nov., 1890). Bank notes are not legal tender in New Zealand, although made a first charge on the assets of the bank of issue ("Bank Note Issue Act, 1893," sec. 3). STRIKING ROSE CUTTINGS. An important element of success ii strikikng rose cuttuigs in summer ife keeping them perfectly fresh—i.y , they must be just as fresh when placed in the soil as when cut from the trees; ti fact, the work can not be done too quickly. If once the cuttings shrivel —and they shrivel rapidly—few will grow ; but if quite fresh, well selected, and rightly inserted, row will fail. This esential of perfect freshness can be maintained when the number of cuttings is limited. THE SEASONS. Autumn begins on March 21st; Winter on June 21st (the shortest day); Spring commences on September 23rd; Summer on December 22nd (the longest day). From observations, extend ing over a number of years, it appears that, on the average, the hottest period is from the 2ls't to the 25th of January, and the coldest from the 20fch to the 24th of July. These iods, therefore, are the natural midsummer and midwinter. IMPOUNDING CATTLE, ETC. All trespassing cattle may "be sm- • pounded by the occupier of the land I on which they are trespassing; but in the case of unfenced land, the occupier is not entitled to claim any damages except fees for driving, or for giving notice of the detention of such cattle, as provided in the Second Schedule. If the land is fenced, the occupier may claim the trespass rates provided in the Second Schedule, or he may claim and sue for the amount of actual damage sustained. TWELVE O'CLOCK AT NOON N Z.
