Among the guests at a Palmerston North hotel on Wednesday night i.s one who is presumed to have an overpowering dread of the coming winter.

Tile bell that announces the departure of trains from Wanganui station clanged and the passengers for the south hurriedly farowelled friends and dashed to secure their seats. The man who usually signals out the trains, knew that something was wrong somewhere, and hurried on to the platform to discover, the cause of the ringing five minutes before time (says the •‘Chronicle”). Standing underneath the bell was a well-proportioned Maori, and smiles wreathed his dusky countenance. “Did you ring that hell?” lie was asked, “till, yell!” replied the native unconcernedly. ‘‘.Me ring te hell to hurry up te wahino. Here she come now.” The railway official looked in the direction indicated, and espied a native woman, attired in .1 dress of many colours, lumbering along the platform under a burden of a number of parcels.

The definition of the term fresh egg lias caused legal and other authorities a good deal of thought, and varying definitions—some humorous, some otherwise—have been arrived at. The Health Department has evolved a definition ol its own. which was quoted to the .V,aster Grocers’ 'Conference at Wellington this week by -Mr K. B. Meyers, an officer of the Department. “Perhaps you have never heard of it 'eing done before,” he said, “ hut somehow or other we have managed it.” For the purpose of the regulations under the Sale of Food and Drugs Act, the term “eggs,” meant the eggs of poultry. The term ••fresh eggs” meant eggs ill which no process of putrefaction and no development of the ovum had begun, and the shells of which were clean and unbroken ; the air cell must not he more than three-eights of an inch in depth. The definition was greeted with loud laughter. A delegate asked for a definition of an election egg, hut apparently the Department has not had that delicacy under consideration, for Mr Meyers made no reply.
