The Colonial youth has a certain amount of smartness, however he may fail to please in some things. Some little time ago, it will be remembered, a firm of ironmongers in New Plymouth was fined for selling a pea rifle to a boy age, ancl the magistrate made some remarks on the advisability of getting youthful would-be purchasers of firearms to prove their age, either by evidence of their parents or by birth certificates. Recently a lad strolled into the same firm's shop and said ha wanted to buy some cartridges. The shop assistant asked him if he were over 16. Without saying a word in reply, the boy dived into one of his pockets, produced a document, and silently handed it to the assistant. It was a birth certificate!
