Most dating of bicycle feats is that performed abroad by a cyblist named Gifford- Like Kilpatrick, who made the descent of a long flight of steps, this rider has only one leg. Gifford rides at full tilt from a tall gallery straight over the edge and into the air. He drops ninety feet into a shallow tank of water.

A recently published list of Mr Car- ; negie’s gifts shows that he has given j away more than 67,000,000 dollars ■ £13,400,000) of his fortune since he determined, several years ago, to devote a large percentage of his wealth to public uses. The amountis divided ' pretty evenly between the establishment of free libraries and the advancement of education., It is only within the last year, however, that the cause of education has been benefited by him, but within that time he has given 20,000,000 dollars (£r,000,000) in two gifts, one to the Scottish universities and the other for the establishment Of a national university of research in Washington. Dehorning of all cattle is a subject the milk suppliers of Rata seem to have made a study of. They have now tried both and have watched the difference carefully, with a decided opinion in favor of taking the horns off. The cows milk much better, and, the test is much higher on account of the absence of any sign of irritability or fear of one another. The theory that a quiet cow is more profitable than a restless one is here made, use of practically. As regards the alleged cruelty, it is much over-rated, for the cows go straight away to iced in a few minutes after being dehorned, as if nothing had happened. There is a man at Rata who can dehorn 200 a day quite easily, so the process is a short one. Aj'ard full of dehorned cattle stand as quiet as a yard full of sheep. The Auckland butchers reckon that dehorned beef is worth quite 103 a head more than horned.

The sudden disappearance of a young settler in the Eketahuna district is now causing anxiety to his friends. The sneak thief or thieves are evidently about again, as Mr John Walsh’s slaughter-house was visited last night and the carcase of a sheep,together with all the knives, were abstracted. There is an appearance of the party going in style to (he scene of operations, as wheel marks are visible leading to the building. Perhaps (hey intended to remove the whole contents, as a large number of carcases were hanging ready to come into town, but found the task more than expected. , Although medical science has up to the present time failed to discover a remedy for the dreaded disease of cancer, there seem no limit (0 the possibilities of modern surgery- An operation was performed by local medical men in which a portion of the lower j iw, the fl wr of the mouth, and the tongue, all cancerous, were successfully removed.

The parts of which, it is composed are a support, a cue, movable thereon, a spring, a latch or trigger, and a movable sleeve, which is arranged upon the free end of the support, and which is designed to regulate the effect of each stroke.
