. 4 FOR READY REFERENCE. THE FENCING ACT. 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 ience are liable to join in or contribute in equal proportions to the erection of a fence between such lands, although such fouce 3 may not extend along the whole bouu- • dary lino. But no occupier is liable I to contribute to any fence which is not, as far as practicable, continuous throughout its length. 5 THE RULES OF THE ROAD. The Rule of the Road is a paradox II quite; For in driving your carriage along, If you bear to the left you are oure to go right, —-' If you turn to the right you go wrong. But in walking the streets 'tis a different case; 5 To tho right it is right wou should steer, On the left should be left enough of clear space For the people who wish to walls there. 11 LEGAL TENDER. ° Tender of monew may legally be made—in the cas eof bronze coins, for 0 any amount not exceeding Is; in the case of silver coins, not exceeding 10s ; in th eoase of gold coins for any amount, unless coined prior to the reign of Queen Victoria (33' and 31 Vic. c. 10, sec. 4, and Royal Proclamation 22, Nov., 1890). ■3 Bank notes are not legal tender in New Zealaud, although made a first charge on the assets ot the bank of li issue ("Bank Note Issue Act, 1893 " sec. 3). STRIKING ROSE CUTTINGS. ) An important element of success it >r .-trikikng rose cuttings m summer is , 0 . keeping them perfectly fresh -io , they must bo just as fresh when placed 5 . in tho soil as when cut from the trees ; ■n fact, the work can not be done too j. quickly. If once the cuttings shrivel —and they shrivel rapidly—few will grow ; but if quite fresh, w.ell selected, e and rightly inserted, tetv will fail'. This esential of perfect freshness van be maintained when tho number of cuttings is limited. THE SEASONS. Autumn begins on March 21st; Winter on June 21st (the shortest day); i- Spring commences on September 23vd ; r Summer on December 22nd (the loagif e6t day). From observations, extend i- ing over a number of years, it appears i- that, on tho average, the hottest il period is from the 2l'st to the 25th e of January, and' the coldest from the e 20th to the 24th of July. These Morel iods, therefore, are the natural niidi, summer and midwinter. IMPOUNDING CATTLE, ETC. All trespassing cattle may be impounded by the occupier of the land ' on which they are trespassing; but m the case of unfenced lau3, the- ocoup pier is not entitled to claim any damages except fees for driving, or for 'c giving notice of the detention of "such cattle, as provided in the Second ' Schedule. 1 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.

HEADACHES. j Many women habitually suffer from headaches which make life a daily purgatory. Frequently they are caused By indigestion and to relieve them permanently you must remove the cause. For indigestion, biliousness, constipat- , ion, disorders of the stomach and liver there is nothing better than Chamber- , lain's Tablets. Headaches cannot exist when Chamberlain's Tablets are tafcen. Sold everywhere.
