There are forty thousand unemployed in Buenos Ayres. The government should send for the Rt. Hon. Mr Seddon to keep them. Mr Carnegie has bought and presented to Mr John Morley the late Lord Action’s library, the destination of which is left to Mr Morley’s discretion.

Some truth about the shortage of coal is leaking out. It does not arise from the shallowness of the bar, which is not shallow, but from shortness of coal at Greymouth, large quantities having been shipped to China. A dealer was told some fairy tales about vessels, and he offered to send a vessel if it was promised she would be loaded,, succeeded in getting the Admission that no coal was there 1 Sir Edmund Barton, replying to a deputation from the Women’s Suffrage Society, said the success of women’s suffrage in. several of the Australian States.presaged its success in the remainder. '

Owing to the difficulty of securing pure-bred poultry,.,and to the disadvantage of in-breeding we have decided to have a poultry column in which cash advertisements relating in any way with the industry will be inserted per insertion of 13 words, six pence an insertion or two shillings and sixpence for three insertions. The approximate number of sheep in the colony on the 30th April, 1902, was 20,302,0*3-- an increase of only--68,933 for a period of twelve months. We are very pleased to notice that the vestry of All. Saints’ Church, Palmerston are having the ground around the church neatly laid out with good walks, flower beds, and grass, similar to the improvement we have pointed out could be effected to All Saints’ Church here. We hope the local vestry will go and do likewise. Mr John Stevens, to-day announces that in response to many requests he will contest the Manawatu seat at the coming election. Hosiery at keen cut prices is now obtainable at Mr Stiles’. This is to obtain room for fresh shipments. All this is set out in Mr Stiles' advertisement on the first page.

The Wellington Meat Export Company have purchased land and buildings at Waingawa for meat works.

Lord Kitchener has said he confidently hoped that the sword would never again be drawn in South Africa, which presented potentialities for the making of a new America in the Southern Hemisphere. The French and German newspapers regard the Anglo-Chinese treaty ' as opening a new epoch in commerce.

The Government grader gave exhibitions at the poultry show of dressing birds, and his actions were worth attention, as he took a live bird out of the coop, killed and plucked and shaped it under five minutes 1 If we all indulged in such practices we might get poultry for meals a little oftener than we do.

Ex-Colonel Lvnch, the member for Galway, has been committed for trial. Nearly all the Marquis of Anglesey’s jewels, which were stolen some mouths ago from his Lordship’s rooms in London, have been recovered. Our leading article on the flax trade has been fully supported by the healthy local demand that has arisen for the fibre, so shortly after the gloomy accounts the Wellington buyers endeavour to spread abroad. The flaxmillers have much to thank the Government for their work and perhaps they will also acknowledge that our best efforts have been given to their advantage.

Seventy-five shocks of earthquakes occurred in five days in California. Mr Chamberlain’s speech in the House of Commons on ? the South African settlement has been well received on the Continent, except the part dealing with the exclusion ot suspects from South Africa. In making a start with crossing breeds it is recommended that one cock Should bb penned with four hens of one kind, and font bells of another kind of breeds for large birds. It Is advised not to have too many sorts of first crosses as nothing sells so well in market as a whole coop of a distinct variety. Siam asks France to evacuate Chantabian, and also to prevent the irritating rumours of invasion. France asks for greater facilities tor trade in the Menam Valley, and the admission of Frenchmen to administrative posts equally with Britishers and Germans. The Houdan, Langshan, Plymouth Roch, Wyandotte and Orpington are the hens that should be used for crossing with the Indian Game rooster. It is understood, says the Taranaki Herald, that the Hon. A. J. Cadman and Co., have purchased Messrs Owen and Co.’s lease of some 5900 acres_ on the northern bank of the Mokau river. There are large coal deposits on the land, which is well timbered, and has an excellent frontage to the river. The most striking feature of the latest likeness of the Comrrtander-in-Chief in South Africa is the indication it gives of the anxiety and worry which he must have been experiencing since ho took over the command of the forces against the Boers. He looks many years old than on the day when he returned from the Soudan. There are lines about the eyes and mouth which were not visible when be landed at Capetown, and he wears a troubled look, which is obviously the direct result ofthe mental and physical strain to which he has been subject during the past 12 months. We desire to express our thanks to the President, Vice-presidents and secretary of the Manawatu Poultry Show for the courtesy, shown to the representative of this paper. Messrs Gosling, and Graham have further additions advertised to their first stock sale here. The settlers should do their best encourage'such a great convenience .s a local sale for the,disposal of their surplus stock.

Messrs Carter Bros, have for sale a cream separator as good as new, factory cans, and a half-bred Shorthorn bull. They have given up dairying, and sold all their cows.

We regret to learn that the natives* owing to the absence from the district of some of their leaders, will not be able to take part in the hakas and poi dances on Coronation Day. General De Wet, in an interview, said that over-sea colonials knew the Boer methods and tactics. Their resourcefulness dismayed the Boer leaders.

During the past week whitebait, in small quantities have been caught in the river. If the water keeps clear and the weather keeps warm, no doubt large catches will soon be reported. The advantages of some combination of poultry growers here would be the securing of correct information. Breeders of the same kind of fowl vary very much in the prices for sittings, one, say, charging five shillings, and another charging ten shillings for a sitting. By care and inquiry one hundred per cent, can be saved.

Mr Seddon, speaking at a luncheon given to the New- Zealand rifle team, declared that he was determined New Zealand should be annually represented at Bisley. The town of Sassoferato, in Italy, last month was thrown into a state oif religious excitement by the announcement that the Virgin Mary had been seen on the summit of Mount Strega. Villagers from the neighbouring countryside are flocking into the little town in thousands. The blind, the lame, and diseased have bean placed at the foot of the mountain to await the reappearance of the Blessed Virgin. The priests are encouraging the credulous peasantry to pray at the foot of the mountain, where, they are toiu, they will be cured of all their ills. The coffers of the local churches are being filled by the offerings of the pilgrims. So great is the excitement that riots are expected to break, out when the credulous peasants discover their mistake.

Holiday excursion tickets will be issued on the 7th, Bth and 9th of August by the failway, available for return till *yth August. On Saturday the usual 7 o’clock train from Palmerston will be deflated till 10 o’clock.

We notice that the Indian Game Rooster is the leading rooster for crossing with big hens for chickens for export purposes. For egg production the brown and white Leghorns, Minorcas, and Andalusians are the most popular. • We draw attention to the advertised programme for Coronation Day. The general public will much oblige by noting that tickets for all events must be obtained prior to the evenings, as no tickets will be procurable at the doors. The House of Commons by 183 votes to 86 has voted the West Indies £250,- 1 000 as a measure of temporary relief. 1 At a meeting on Wednesday night at Rongotea with Mr V. C. Ransom in the chair, a Ratepayers’ Association was formed to further the interests of the district generally. The questions gone into were—the extension of the tramway to the town, Drainage Board matters, a courthouse and resident constable, new post office, beautifying the Squares, and lighting the town. A pro tem committee was appointed, Mr Ransom chairman. During July the Colonial Ammunition Company manufactured and delivered to the New Zealand Government 550,000 rounds of .303 ammunition for the use of the Defence Forces, being at the rate of about six and a half million rounds per annum. SANDER and SONS EUOALPYTI EXTRACT, According to reports ot a great number of physicians of the Lightest professional standing, there are offered Euoalpyti Ex tracts which possess DO curative qualities.
