I Thf following ingenious method for keeping butter cool in summer is adopted by the farmers in New South Wales:— You take a large deep plate place in it an inverted sauc- r, pour in cold water until the saucer is nearly covered, on the saucer set the plate containing ths batter. Take a com mon unglazed flower pot, wash it thoroughly clean and dry, soak it in clean cold water, the.v place it over the butter so that the < dgps of the pot come down into the water. Set the whole thing where it will be in a current of am Ihe evaporation of water from the flower pot keeps the batter hard ami cild. It is a very simple thing to try. Thf farm-ra iisr-d the same principle eff"Ciively in milk cans by fitting over tlvm li anket jackets, and pouring cold w:iter on the jackets until they were thoroughly wet.

T ic following siory appears in th*j Paris Fii/oro. I is a story of the Kaiser and of his r. cent visit to England. It appears that before lfaving Po sdam for the Isla of Wight the Emperor had been made colonel of the Ist Dragoons, and sent express for an Eogli-h Army tailor to make him a uniform. This the tailor did. Two days befo c the .lder-hot iwiew, the Emperor, knowing that the regimental trousers w-re tights in more senses thau one, d-em'd it prudent to have a rehearsal. He en deavoured with his usual impetuosiiy to introduce him -elf, but 'he unfortunate gar-ment-sp.it fr un top to botto i), amid the expressed sympahy of his entourag J .

Truat in this approved article and ejeot all others.— [aDVT.] With a view of making this Baa the cv. Nt of the year, two special buyers were despaich^d from Ti Aro House, one to attend the great a ile of Edwards Bennett A < o'a. wholesale stock, and the other to pick out bargains from the manufactures •f the well known Kaiapii Woollen Co. Boh i best' gentlemen have returned after a mo.-it successful trip, and the total result of their efforts is to be seen in the astonishing bargains now being fold at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro Houße, Wellington. Messrs Ross and Sandford, of the Bon Marche. Palmerston, are now showing in ir new spring and summer goods in all d -partments, ex s.s. Aorangi and lonic, i'he selection to choose from is wi hout doubt one of the finest on this coast, while the values are superior to most houses, and equal to the very best obtainable in the colony. They invite inspection of their present season's show of general drapery, dress goods, mantles, blouses and millinery, &C..&C. Ross and Sandford— Advx. With all these advantages in purchasing, it would be strange indeed if the sale was not one to be remembered.
