Thacker, M.P., Mayor of Christchurch, says the “Sun.” Dr Thacker says that if fruit is boiled for 20 minutes before it is made into jam or jelly only half the ordinary quantity of sugar will be needed for it. The boiling destroys the melassic acid in the fruit. Melassic acid, it is explained, absorbes a lot of sugar that is put witli unboiled fruit for jam-making.

An amusing mistake was made in serving in connection with the petition to upset the Stratford election. Mr A. 11. Masters, who was on his honeymoon, was mistaken for his brotiier, Mr R.

As has been pointed out from time to time (says the “ Grey River Argus”) the point Elizabeth Coal Mine is gradually nearing the end of its' period of productivity. This was instanced yesterday in the case of the bottom mine, where four pair of men were “ ravelled out,” as well as two shiftmen and two truckers. The petering out of this colliery is a pointer to the need for a orogressive move to develop new seams elsewhere. There are now left only one pair of miners at work at the bottom mine, four pair on each shift, as well as two shiftmen, a roadman and eight truckers, or a total of only 27 altogether. This mine will probably be worked out completely in about six weeks’ time.
