Fowls sold at Bs 6d to 4s 6d each. It is useless to send Muscovy ducks. The poulterers refnse to buy any but the Aylesbury breed.

A man died the other day in New York after licking an envelope. He was poisoned by decaying animal matter from the glue getting into a sore in his mouth. No poisons are more deadly than those produced by the deoay of animal matter. Persofls who lick envelopes in sealing them do it at their own risk. In the face of such danger, it would be safer to go back to the old method of sealing envelopes with seal-ing-wax.

The choice in each department is almost unlimited, as may be imagined, when it is stated that of flannelette alone, over 50,000 yards have this season been imported at Te Aro House, Wellington. A specially organised department has been established to deal with country orders. Patterns of any materials in slock will be forwarded to any address post fiee.
