The Foxton Creamery starts work on Monday morning. The a.B. K-mn-uly arrive 1 this morning from Grttymouth wilh coal, and leaven tonight for Wellington with the Oroua Downs dip. la this issue appears an inset referring to a consignment of boots and shoes received by Mr E. Osborne. He heads the notice with the query " does advertising pay?" Of course it does, piyswell, and no business man can do without it. Mr Osborne will r adily realise this when he finds the stock be holds quickly lessen. Perhaps then he will give us his answer. The lighthouse on Stephens' Island is an iron tower, and is errcied at tie northern end of the island, and the light was first exhibited on the 29 h January, 1894. The tower is of cast-iron, erected on concrete foundations, and is 30ft. in height from tin top of founda ions, to the lantern sole-plate. It is 17ft. 6in. diameter at the base, 13ft. 7in. at the top, and is aurmounti d by a lantern 19ft high ; the total height from surface of ground io top of lantern being 50ft. The light apparatus is of the first order group, showing a whue light flashing every half-minute, two distinct fla-shes in quick succession, and shows over an aro of 293- all round to seaward a* far as the land will allow. The light is 600 ft. above s-a-level, and can be se^-n for a distance of about thirty-two nautical miles from a ship's de«g at sea.

In thp Ancient Order of Foresters all religions and political discussions Rro strictly avoided. The feon Marcho is the great modern emporium of Paris. The " Printempß," " Belle jixrdinierfe " tho " Louvro " and the " Ra»r\fiv!tiii«> " nro the four great rivals of the"i^on Marche." The Welling on Evening Pixss will, so it is siafed, cas« puhlicnti >n ar tho r^nd of the mnrrh. Rumour states that tho Pod absorbs it. The Wellingidn )feckjl) Herald is also said ti have ceased pub ication, A much worried, profile, (ire we; Dnritig f he pas; B 'Ssibli tit Parliament were passed I jOl Acis, a regular Imperial salute, all of hich, we, the people, are suppo-wd tn „ read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest " otherwise we may be liable to a flue. ' Jn Wellington thel'« are 200 ( 'hides*, an increase of 03 3ince 1891. Th"?e distinguished Peltiers occupy -17 fruit and vegetable shops 10 mafket gard-nts, three bmrdinghouses one wholesale house, and one lanu* dry. The Inspector states that the Chinese dwelling? in We Hiigtori compare favourab'y •is r e;aid3 cleanliness with the ordinary European buclv-br establishment. Mr? Biid'.?"n l of Wellington, has presentfil 'he Dlojesan Synod vi h £100 in aid of the funds of the Me'aneMan Mission. The members of fhe Font and Telegraph Department have present d Dr L'mon wi h a mas-ive silver-plate tea and coffee service, and onk tray, with an illuminated address--as a mark of esteem in which he was held when head of the D •pertinent. A royal proclamation ha 1 * been advertised warning settlers against killing certain socalled " natural enemies " of the rabbi . Amongst which are cats ! After a few bad nights the Minister of Agriculture will soon withdraw this notice, for " L?t Hercules himself do what he may The cat will mow, and dog will have his day," and a cat mewing at midnight is something more than cheerful. A confectioner in Wellington has made 'O order a wedding cake 4 feet 15 inches high, and 2 feet C> inches in diameter at the base. It, has five tiers and weighs 175 lbs. " Whose function " has not been made sufficiently explicit, where used in an Act of Parliament, and an amending Act has been passed to explain " whoso function " shall be excised and " whoso_ du:y " substituted. We hope this will mal;e the matter plain. The cost of erection of the New 7, >aknd Coastal Lii?h-hon=e i-= £IG7 ''51 They eo-1-to maintain £i 1.3.11 per annum, and the liah:-dues collected last year amounted to £16,481. The details of the amount of £6,200 as estimated under the heading " Civil List.. Establishment of General Government. " for the year 1894 5 is as follows : — Premier, £1000. five Ministers at £800 per annum. H')ii9° allowine* for six Ministers at £200 each, £1200. Total 16,200. About 7cwt of specimens from the Wealth of Nations claim has b»en treatpd at Melbourne. The parcel yielded 27190z \ of gold. | The " Louvre " trading establishment in Paris pays £1500 yearly for the string, which is used to tie up its parcels ! Lidy Gla'gow has bee ran a Pores er, if it is poa>ible, at any ra»e her ladyship has joined ihe recently consiuued branch of Female Foresters, ai Wellington. Three companies have offer d to buy the Londonderry mine for £500.000. The balance, afrer deduo ing working expenses, shows a loss on the busings of the telephone exchanges on the last two years. The Synod ooncluded its sittings on Monday night. The Salvation Army R -scue Home was opened nn Monday afternoon by Mrs Seddon with a silver key. Some rich ston ■ ha'; bt-en taken from the Mount Margaret claim, Coolgardie. A parcel of SJO.b gave an ounce to the pound. At the Synod the following resolmi n 1 was U"antniously carried I — '• That the Diocesan Synod of Wellington, over which the Right Rev Octavitis Hadfio'd soling presided, uuving hpard that he had just ooni- ' piettid Ins 80th year, desire to transmit their heart congratulations to their late pastor. Another hope gone wrong. The West Coast Mail says : — " We are sorry to say that we are compelled to give up prim ins? a portion of this paper in Maori. We had an idea When we com-nenct-d if. that tin\iaoris> would like to venilate ih^ir vievs and learn the current news in their own language, and would not obj -cc to pay for it. Bat we find by exp^rienc-^ th>it such i-» not the case. Wth some few exceptions they no more, think of paying their newspaper subscriptions than they do their irad "sin»n's bills, and on our part we da cline to pay a Maori editor and other ci penses out of pure love and aff -ction for the Maori. We don't care to lose any more money over them, and, then-for", shall discontinue the \laori portion of this journal." The New Zn'and Gbvprnm'rat are not alone in ignnranc< of the own 'rs of islands in the Pacifio. as the Canadian press re uroach England for h>r incredible apathy in the endeavour to secure Ncckar Island aa a lauding placj for thi Paoifij Oible. Tho Post's Tiuranga oorrenpondonf. wired on Tuesday:— Lut week Messrs Gardner, M jwat, and R i herford, Government Com'nissionerß. arrived h -re for the purpose of insp fifing an improvement of flax-dressing machinery invented by Mr T H. Smith at Kaikokipu. The inven ion takes flax from the turipp-'r, dns-u'S it. and dri s it by specia 1 anpa'afUß, ao that it can be bald at nc=s. The C»m ni-isioners wer> much taken with the invention, and have ordered its removal to Wellington at the Government expense. Th j re it will be tried with other machines already ordered there by the Commissioners. The Advocate reports that the residence of Mr J. Beckman at Campbelltown was burnt to the ground on Tuesday night shortly after midnight. The insurance on the house is £100, and on the furniture ! £50. In ord«r to inspect the bottom of the sea it is necssary to go up to the cloud-*. This seems paradoxical, but it is, nevertheless true. The a ronaut* Moret and Dv poure, who made an ascent from Cherbourg in 1876, found that when n?arly 2000 yards high they c >u ! d bpo quite o'early the bed of the English Channel, and the re3ult of their experisnci is borne out by mountaineers and even by casual visitors to the Rock of Gibraltar, fiom whioh the bottom of the Mediterranean can be view d. Sum.- Ra33iau aernnau's have determined to search for a missing Russian hondad in this way. They havv chartered a balloon for a sea o> ui3 \ and hope t.) sight tie Boosa ka. The idea of g >in? up in a balloon in ord^r to see what is going on at the bottom of the sea is extraordinary, but i: would nor be all surprising if ihdir strange method pr»v«d suetmful. I

The Secretary of the Foston Racing Club rpquftsts Us to warn those training for running not to use the course proper, but the Club has no objection to their using the training-track. At a committee meeting of the Foxton Racing Club h -Id last night the secretary was authorised to inquire in* cost of the n*w starting mtchino. This is the instru •nent that will be used at the Canterbury Racing Club meeting.

Bo h th j 8" gentleman have returned after a mo^t successful trip, and the total result of their pfforts is to he seen in the astonishirlg bargains now being Fold at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington. Messrs Ross and Sandford, of the Bon Marche, Palmerston, are now showing their new spring and summer goods in all df*oartment3, ex s.s. Aorangi and lonic. The Sflec^ion to ohoose from is without doubt one of the finest on this coast, while the va ues are supprior to most houses, and equal to the very best obtainable in the colony. They invite inspoctiou of their present season'? show of general drapery, dress goods, mantles, blouses and millinery, Ac, Ac. Ross and Sandford— Advt. With all these advantages in purchasing, it would bp strange indeed if the sale was not one to be remembered. Any attempt to enumeratp even a tithe of the cheap lines now at in? disposal of customers, would be worse than useless in the space at our command, but a price list which has been printed will be sent, post free, to the addivss of any person applying to the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Tc Aro House, Wflli'igton. " a's an ill wind that blows nobody good " is a very old saying but none the less true. Whilst the great depression existing at. Sydn-y at the present time, has caused a deplorable amount of misery, yet thp people of Wellington and the Burrounding distric's will reap a gigantic benefit. During his visit to Sydney recently, >lr James Smith purchased at absurdly low prices a large stock which is now deing sold at thn Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, i c A'*o House, Wellington.
