Manawatu Herald. SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1895.

The Vicar of All Saints' will hold morning service at Fox ton, and evening service at Levin on Sunday next, and he proposes to remain at Levin till the Thursday following to visit the members of the Church there. The Rev. S. Barnett will preach at the Primitive Methodist Church to-morrow. The evening subject will be " The Glory and Fruits of Old Age." A M.S. book of sermon notes, bound in vellum, by the late Dr Adam Clarke, the great commentator, has just been purchased from an English clergyman by the Wesleyan Book-room authorities. The volume contains 106 sermon notes.

Nominations close on Tuesday for the Otaki races. We overlooked the fact in our last issue of the late Mr William Langley having been the first gazetted pilot of the Manawatu, a post he naturally was proud of holding. An impounding notice is inserted to-day. ! The Commissioner of Taxes issues a notice to-day relative to those in receipt of income which will be well to attend to. Geueral Booth is to visit Africa and Aus* tralia, starting in August. The Rugby footballers are arranging for a national fifteen to visit Australia and possibly New Zealand. A special train will leave Palmerston tomorrow at 10.30 with Masons to attend the late Mr LaDgley's funeral. Times are hard, and it becomes a ques* tion whether it is right to put temptation in any man's way. On Monday the Wellington Museum was robbed of a quantity of. gold dust and quartz specimens. Such a thing has never occurred in Wellington before. According to a contemporary an unfortunate and expensive mistake occurred at i Petone the other night. A truck of stud I sheep from the ManawatU* Consigned to & breeder at the Hutt, got mixed up with a consignment of several trucks of fat sheep for the Gear Company, and the high-bred animals were all duly converted into mutton before the error was discovered. The Wellington Education Board has decided on dispensing with M. de Mey's services at the end of three months. Reason, for economy. It has been decided by the French Courts that bull-fighting is illegal in France.The Ministerial paper published in Wellington had a severe article on the impropriety of employers deducting insurance money from the wages of their employees. It has made a mistake in forgetting to inquire closely into the matter. In many cases it is so and more especially on the estates controlled by the Bank of .New Zealand Assets Company. Up to February 13 only one Armenian witness had appeared before the Commission of Inquiry sitting at Moosh. The evidence entirely refuted that of the numerous Mussulman witness for the defence. Asparagus and celery will grow well in brackish land, b-nng natives originally of the seashore. Beep, rich, moist soil is far more important thaft saline matter. Tho Bishop of Chester, in an address at Exeter Hall, London, on " Licensing Reform," stated that under the Gothenburg system the people managed and controlled the drink traftic, and the surplus profit went towards public objects. •In Sweden and Norway the system had so far done its duty as to reduce the sale of beer in 120 towns by twenty gallons per head. Ninety per cent 1 of the evidence adduced was in favour of the substantial success which had attended the Scandinavian method, and he maintained that it would be most beneficial in England. A " Barefoot Mission " has been established at 69, Temple Chambers, London, which is trying to bring the old shoes and boots of well-to-do people and their cast-off clothes into contact with the bare feet and bare backs of poor men, women and children in the great English metropolis. The Canadian Government have set on foot a scheme for supplying the British market with butter. It is proposed to advance the farmers twenty cents per pound, and extensive cold storage room will be pro* vided in the summer. Pears and apples ripen better and develop a higher color in a dark place than if they are exposed to the light. According to La France Militaire, the small arm projectile of the future is the Hebler Kruka tubular bullet. It is made of steel, and has a tube open at both ends running through its centre. This tube seems to have the effect of diniishing the resistance of the air, and of increasing the steadiness of the projectile, so that longer range and greater trajectory are obtained without any increase of muzzle velocity. It is said that a maximum range of 10,000 metres was obtained, and that at 6,0000 metres the bullet penetrated 14| inches of pine wood. The -Flga.ro is responsible for the following story : M. K. called the other day at a house where the love of dog 3 was carried almost to'a mania. He was immediately surrounded by hnlf adozen of these animain, whose caresses, too demonstrative al- i together, he repelled vigorously. " Ah, monsieur," said the lady of the mansion, in a tone of displeasure, " one nan see very well that you don't love dogs." " Not love dogs, indeed 1" he returned indignantly. " Why, I ate more than twenty during the seige of Paris." M. Faure, the new French President, is described as not only a good fellow, but looks every inch an English gentleman.' He is not so boisterous as many Frenchmen are. A man of spirit and elevated tastes, he has also strength of character, and will not be soared like M. CasimirPerier at the first difficulty that crops up. Many people will be attracted to him by his amiability and his real kindness— what the French ca.ll politesse ducctur. Captain H. L. Gallwey, vice-consul on the West Coast of Africa, says that many of the slaves in the Benin Country are victims to fetish rule. During his few days' stay in the city he had evidence that four crucifixions had taken place some weeks previously. One slave was crucified to stop the rain, and two to bring it.

Trust in this approved artiole and eject all others.— [advt.] , To thoroughly reduce and prepare the ] stock previous to the partnership stooktaking sweeping reductions will be made in all Departments, the stook must be reduced by £15,000, and this splendid Drapery j Stock at Te Aro House will be offered to the public at most tempting prices. Early in the year Mr Smith admits to a partnership in his business a commercial gentlemen who has long been associated with the London buying for Te Aro House. Te Aro Househas long held the premier position as the " Leading Family Drapery Warehouse," and further developments are now taking place to inaugurate the year 1895. The announcement made in another parof this paper that a sale of greater magnitude than ever yet attempted by Te Aro Hou3e is now being held should arrest the attention of everyone in this part of the Colony.
