Hedgehogs arc becoming very plentiful in South Taranaki, and it is not unusual to see their mangled remains on the district highways, unwilling victims to the ever-increasing motor traffic, says the “ Hawera Star.” In a % welve-mile run from Eltham to Hawera, a motorist noticed no feu er than three dead hedgehogs on the roadway. Generally looked upon as quite haimless, this species of animal is a source of trouble to motorists, for when mn down their spiny armour penetrates pneumatic tyres and gradually works through to the tubes. Annual visitors to the port, who never miss, made their first appeal .nice in the harbour the other morning (writes the Bluff correspondent of the “Southland News ’V Reference is made to the “ tiki,” or mutton bird, which, at an early hour, were observed in tlteir hundreds of thousands circling round the harbour to the lightship and then in hurried flight proceeding to sea past Stirling Point. At times they would settle on the water, in one mass, with a noise like the breakers on the seashore. Again they would rise as though at word of command, and continue their evolutions a few feet aoove tlie surface. Addison’s jhave a great variety-' in hearon rugs, carpet runners, linoleums, Chinese matting, mats in all sizes. Our prices are right. Call to-day and inspect.—Advt.
