How to get rid of the vegetarian insect—the fly that thrives on turnip tops and cabbages, bas been settled by a local gardener. When the fly attacks the young cabbages sprinkle them liberally with whey obtained from a cheese factory and in a few days the fly leaves, probably for your neighbour. In a few days longer the cabbages are gone. The remedy is similiar to clearing fleas out of a blanket—saturate kerosene on it and put a match to the blanket—-sans everything.—Opunake Times.

Recently in a country town in this State (says the Sydney Morning Herald) a baker sued a long winded customer for £2o—“goods sold and delivered.” The debtor’s solicitor defended the case by disputing some of the items.” “Now sir,” thundered the legal practioner, don’t you think you are greatly to blame for giving my client £2O worth ~of credit ?’’ The baker resented being made a “butt” of by the lawyer. Turning to another page in the ledger, be scored by reading the amount of the legal gentleman’s own account. Verdict for the plaintiff. “What a lot of energy going to waste I” said Mr Carroll, at Ngaruawabia, on looking round at the hundreds of young Maoris idling round the hotel and screet recently. “What a difference it would mean to the wealth of the colony if all the natives were profitably employed in dairying, or agricultural pursuits. Why, where I have been at Ruatoki there is a cheese factory run by Europeans, but supplied by Maoris, which distributes £4OO a month, and it is only in its infancy. The Maoris have lots of good land and it will not be long before the output will assume much larger proportions.” Persons who require a first-class piano on very easy terms are advised to road tbo new advertisement of the London and Berlin Piano Co., on oar back page.*

In the Magistrate’s Court, Port Chalmers, the other day, during the bearing of a claim for compensation for the loss of a cow, plaintiff was in the box telling of the great merits of the deceased milker. “She was a real good cow and gave ten to fifteen pounds of butter when she was milking.” “How old was she ?” inquired the council for the defence, as he started in to demolish the reputation of the dividend producing animul. “She’s been a cow from three to ten years.” “That’s rather indefinate,” rejoined council. “Can’t you make it plainer ? You say she’s been a cow from three to ten years. Was she ever anything else but a cow?” “Yes,” was the unexpected answer. “Oh she’s been some thing else.” “ What was she ?” “ A cal f ,” replied the plaintiff. The Westminister Gazette prints the following genuine document, written by a cautious maidservant to a prospective impress : "You want a sirvent. Before I take the setiwat»on I must no if their is to much to do. And if you have not to many children. The people 1 livo with have a new one every year, which 1 don’t like. Will the incstress help work, or have I to man ige everything a lone. And I do not like washing, what all decent people send washing to laundry.

Rothesay be retained in Kawhia, and that the vessel will still continue to run out of this port. This will be particularly gratifying news to the set tiers of Marokopa and Kiritehere.

Mr Ted Nolan, of Oparau, suffered a serious loss oo Monday night last. He left his canoe ou the beach, but it some bow or other got adrift and has not be On eeeu since. The craft contained a quantity cf winter stores, kurneras aud potatoes besides clothing and personal belongings, so that the j loss is by no means a light one. , Says an Australian school boy; “Sheep are herbivorous animals, though pet lambs will eat anything from tobacco to Crimean shirts. Most beep grew wool: it’s no bother to them- They also grow canning. It takes two men aud three dogs to catch one of them when he knows he is going to be killed. Sheep are shorn once a year; they don’t like it, bat it’s got to be done anyhow. Wool is one of the dire necessitses of life ; they make shirts aud sox and things out of it. Australia produces a lot of wool. I don’t nse it myself ; it’s 100 scratchy. Rams have a fine time; they are always fighting. There are different kinds of sheep; some baye smooth skins; others have wrinkles all over till yon are sorry for them. The wrinkly ones are called Vermont, because they are real hard to shear. There is money in eheep as long as they don’t die of thirst, hunger, lung worm, flake, anthrax, foot rot, or too much clover.”
