Madame Melba gave her concert in Wellington on Monday night, and the house that greeted her can be guaged by the fact that £I4OO was realised from it.

The Commission appointed by the Lords of the Admiralty recommend the construction, at a cost of six and a half millions, of a harbour on the eastern side of Gibraltar.

Mr Bullard is now prepared to make saddles of all sizes and shapes to order. This is a good opportunity for those who want a good saddle and have a fancy for a shape. The members of the Motoa Syndicate met Mr Seatoun on Tuesday to show him around the estate and the proposed subdivision, They also had a meeting with the millers at present drawing their supplies of green flax from the estate.

The electoral rolls are now being prepared for the Licensing election, and those whose names have previously been omitted should lose no time in sending in a .form of enrolment.

A leading German newspaper publishes an article, supposed to be inspired by the Kaiser, employing his comparative table of the British and German navies, which is designed to impress Germans with the futility of abusing England with clenched fists, while she is so vastly superior in naval strength. President Roosevelt, in a speech while laying the foundation stone of the Army College at Washington, said now that America was a World Power, has responsibilities in the Occident and Orient, she must possess an army of the very highest efficiency. Mr Alfred Ross, the Returning Officer of the district, paid a visit to Foxton on Tuesday to make bis arrangements for holding the Licensing election at the end of March. We learn that the appointment of the Manawatu County as the supervising, body was made in- mistake and that duty will revert to the Foxton Borough as before.

Despite the continuous and energetic efforts of the local Stock Inspector, Mr Duncan, and his staff, says the Standard, tuberculosis and actinimycosis continue very prevalent throughout the district. During the past eleven months fully 300 head of cattle have been condemned by the Inspector in his district, a number being converted into manure at the Longburn Freezing Works. To save an inquest we notify to those about to help themselves to fruit not belonging to themselves to be extremely careful. There are so many blights and insects orchardists have to contend against that they are often syringing their trees and fruit, and most of these sprays are poisonous, and unless the orchardists select the fruit others who take at haphazard are likely if not poisoned, to feel particularly unwell after eating this fruit. Such a result is not desired by any, but it will not be the fault of the orchardist. Messrs Hickson and Reeve have purchased a new hemp mill on the bank of the Manawatu opposite Rangitane, a mile above the Oroua Bridge. The mil! is a new one, has a new 12 b.p. Marshall engine, and possesses a grand supply of green flax. It is situated on Mr Akers’property. Messrs Hickson and Reeve have no intention of closing their present mill, but have wisely made sure of the green flax elsewhere.

Some one has blundered. Who ? At the last meeting of the Horowhenua County Council Mr Venn proposed, and Mr Monk seconded the following resolution, which was carried without dissent, though it is fair to say Mr John Davies was absent That in consequence of the attention, consideration and favourable reply lately received from the Minister for Lands by a deputation from this body, re subsidy for the proposed Shannon-Foxton bridge, this Council regrets the ill-ad-vised and premature action taken in this matter by one of its members during the Premier’s recent visit to Levin, and that a copy of the above be sent to the Hon. Minister for Lands and to the Premier.

The sale of household furniture at the Oroua Downs was held yesterday, and though the day was very wet a large attendance was secured and a good sale was the result. Mr Harry Palmer was the auctioneer. Luncheon was provided by Mr Mark Perreau, o i this town.

Yesterday Dr. Graham and a friend visited Foxton on a motor car and left this morning on his return to Palmerston. He gave good records of his pace from Rongotea. This morning before Dr. Bennett, J.P., Edmund Mills was convicted and discharged for drunkenness. A charge of assault was not gone into, the pro secutor failing to appear. The accused was dismissed.

Mr Simeon Wilson, Blacksmith and Wheelwright, has removed his old established business into that centrallysituated shop in the Main-street, adjoining the boot shop of Mr Snow. There he hopes his old friends and customers will follow, and he Will do his best to satisfy all.. Mr Alfred Cock showed as a fourlegged chicken, given to him by Mr R. Perreau. The chicken appeared very much alive and well, though the hind legs were dying away. It is to be hoped no attempt will be made to develope a breed with so many legs, as a chicken with two legs is hard enough to catch, but if it had four would it be possible to ever catch it ? Sir John Downer, of South Australia, interviewed, said he was much impressed with his visit to New Zealand, and with the possibilities of the colony, which appeared practically illimitable. New Zealand, Sir John declared, had many advantages of her own, and Mr Seddon seemed to be the man to make the best use of them.

Notice is given by the Town Clerk that the supplementary Valuation List for the Borough is now open for inspection at the Borough Council Office. All objections, if any, must be left with the clerk of the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court not less than ten days before the sitting of the Court.

The projected cricket match between the Foxton and Levin Clubs to be played here next Saturday has fallen through, though it may possibly come off the following Saturday (7th March). An attempt to get off the Rongotea match in consequence of Levin’s inability was unfortunately attended with the like result, Rongotea’s players being unable to attend owing to pressure of business. In our last issue, the name of W. Nye was accidentally omitted, but the same team will be represented when Levin rolls up. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining suitable parade and camping grounds in Palmerston (says the Standard), the Easter volunteer encampment will probably be held at Foxton this year, and not at Palmerston as had been decided. We learn that practically all the commanding officers in the district, including the Ideal corps, have consented to the camp being held at Foxton, and the matter may therefore be regarded as being finally decided. From a volunteering point of view Foxton is, ot course, much the more suitable of the two places.” Captain Walsh goes by train this afternoon to Palmerston to meet Colonel Watt. He has made a sketch of the ground and has received permission from the Messrs Robinson to use the run for any military purposes. Those who can afford lemons need not continue to boil their drinking water (says the Chicago Herald.) After three davs experimenting, the Chicago health officials have made official publie announcement that the juice of a lemon will put an end to the busy life of the typhoid bacillus. One teaspoonful to half a glass of water is known to be a goad combination to get a strong hold of the active germ. The effect of the lemon juice is to kill almost instantly every, bacillus in (he water. They simply shrivel rp. Further tests are now being made by Health Commissioner Reynolds, to see bow small an amount of the juice is needed to kill the germ. He is also investigating the dulling qualities of manufactured citric acid The result of the Health Department’s investigation came from an announcement made on Christmas Day by Dr. Asa Ferguson, a London physician, that the juice of a lemon was a deadly foe to the typhoid bacilli.

Hart, New York, says—" It goes without saying that Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract is the best in the market.” Dr James Reekie, Fairvie.w, N.
