♦ for ready reference. the fencing act. erection" oFfenoes. 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 line. But no occupier is liable to contribute to any fence which is not, aa far as practicable, continuous throughout,its length. THE RULES OF THE ROAD. The Rule of the Road is a paradox quite; For in driving yotur carriage along, If you bear to the left you are dure to go right, If you turn to the right you go wrong. But in walking the streets 'tis a different case; To the right it is right wou shoald steer, On the left should be left enough of clear space For fie people who wish to walk there. LEGAL TENDER. Tender of inonew may legally be made—in the cas eof bronze coins, for any amount not exceeding Is; in the case of silver coins, not exceeding 40s; in th ecase of gold coins for any amount, unless coined prior to the reign of Queen Victoria (83" and 34 ; Vic. c. 10, see. 4, and Royal ProclamaI tion 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). 1 STRIKING ROSE CUTTINGS. An important element of success ii ftrikikng rose cuttnigs in summer is ' keeping them perfectly fresh—i.e , they must be ju6t as fresh when placed ' in the soil as when cut from the trees; ' u 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. 1 and rightly inserted, tew will fail. This esential of perfect freshness 'jan be -maintained when the number of ' cuttings is limited. ; THE SEASONS. Autumn begins on March 21st; Win- ; ter on June 21st (the shortest day); Spring commences on September 23rd; 1 Summer on December 22nd (the long- ! est day). From observations, extend ing over a number of years, it appears ' that, on the average, the hottest poriod is from the 2lst to the 25tb of January, and the coldest from the ' 20th to the 24th of July. These periods, therefore, are the natural midj summer and midwinter. IMPOUNDING CATTLE, ETC. I All trespassing cattle may be impounded by the occupier of the land . on which they are trespassing; but in the case of unfenced land, the occui pier is not entitled to claim any dani- • ages 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 Schndule, or he may claim and sue for the amount of actual damage sustained. TWELVE O'CLOCK AT NOON N Z.

"and my wife was recommended to pve me Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhjea Remedy. I was sceptical and refused ,to take it, but at last I got sq.bad that r my wife prevailed upon me to try it.
