The Daily Express says that King Edward is using his influence with the Czar to secure the amelioration of the Jews. The Daily Mail’s Toronto corres pondent states that negotiations are proceeding for the establishment of a direct steam service between New Zea

Mr Andrew Jonson has made a starl in building the stern-wheeler to the order of Mr jnpp. It is expected that the boat when completed will be able to navigate the upper reaches nefr Palmerston, owing to her draught being so small. Tirole has been nominated for the Open Welter Handicap (second day), at the Foxton meeting, his name being omitted from the list published. The chestnut gelding by Wanderer, entered in the Welter Handicap (first day) is named Haereerej

Raspberry picking is now in full swing throughout the Motueka district. The crop promises to be an unusually heavy one, some growers estimating that it will total 400 tons. Black and red currants, and also gooseberries, are bearing well. A back-block settler, who considers he is being persecuted between tin Land Board and the Roads Department, writes to Mr Hogg, M.H.R.: — “ I tell you that the money I have to pay on my section alone for roads for 099 years would construct all the roads in this neighbourhood.” Waimangn House,- which overlooks the big geyser, has been crowded with visitors during the Christmas and New Year holidays. The custodian telegraphed for tents to be sent up last week, and he has since advised the Tourist Departmentjthat he has been compelled to refuse accomodation to visitors.

A Dunedin bootmaker has invented a boot from which the soles and heels are removable. The inventor (Mr William Bennett) is faking out letters patent for the novelty throughout the world. By using the new style of boots a man can do mountain climbing in the morning, in the afternoon change the soles and make a cricketing boot of the uppers* and in the evening slip on a still lighter sole* and so qualify for the ballroom. A peculiar accident occurred at Colac, Victoria, recently. When a goods train was within a couple of miles of the local railway station a parcel of tweed fell from a truck on to the rails and turned the wheels of the following truck off. The truck bumped along the sleepers for over a mile, passing safely over eight cattle pits, and did not capsize. When near Church street

the driver noticed the vehicle had a list to one side and was bumping heavily, and he pulled up.

An instance showing the honesty of voters at Chiltern, Victoria, happened during the taking of the ballot for the Senate election. A lady elector, who evidently believed in the motto “ vote early,” left her purse, containing £3O in gold, on the desk in a voting compartment, which was afterwards visited by over sixty voters. About raid-day the lady’s son rushed in and in. an excited manner mentioned the loss to the returning officer, who, on going to the compartment, found the purse and cash intact.

The editor and published of the New Zealand Times have each been served with three separate summonses, calling upon them to appear at the Magistrate’s Court on Friday, 15th inst., to answer informations laid against them, charging them with committing acts calculated to pervert the course of justice. The “head and front of our offending,’’ says the Times, appears to consist in having zealously catered for the public information, in promptly publishing details of the five arrests made on the 29th December last on charges of broaching cargo, and in obtaining interviews from merchants on the subject of cargo-broaching, the losses suffered from it, and the punishments inflicted for the offence.

A shocking case of cruelty to animals was brought under our notice this morning (says last night’s Standard). Yesterday morning two trucks of pigs, evidently loaded at Rongotea that morning or the previous evening, were left at the Himitangi siding too late for the up Foxton train to Palmerston. The trucks remained at Himatang yesterday and were brought on to Palmerston this morning. Last night was wet and boisterous and the poor animals, when inspected this morning at Himatangi, were in a pitiable condition. They were famished, and were so crowded that they could hardly move. Some were lying down in filth and, generally, were wet, cold and miserable. They were brought, as stated, to Palmerston, and will, in all probability, go to Wellington—their destination —to-night. The pigs will probably remain another night in the trucks, and, doubtless will be killed as prime baconers to-morrow. Our informant considers that action on the part of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is very necessary.

Six criminals were recently sentenced by Mr Justice Hodges, of Melbourne, to various terms of imprisonment, and in every case periods of solitary confinement were ordered during the last two or three months of detention. This form of punishment is much dreaded by prisoners. It means confinement in a cell for the whole day, with the exception of one hour’s exercise in the open air, and as the hammock and other “furniture” are removed from the cell except during hours officially allowed for sleep the prisoner is restricted to the limited and comfortless option of sitting or standing on the hard floor. Mr T. H. Gingell, the contractor for carrying the mails between r xt >n and Shannon, inserts an advertisement in this issue. The proprieior has made arrangements to book his passengers right through to Wellington via the Manawat-u Line, and thus save passengers the inconvenience of taking fresh tickets. The fares are from Foxton to Wellington, and vice versa : Single, ist class, ns 3d ; 2nd class, 8s rod; return, ist class,'2os fid; 2nd class, 15s Bd. The coaches will leave Mr Levett’s Manawatu Hotel daily at fi.3o a.m, and 3.15 p.ra.

Drake, Portland, Oregon, says—“ Since I became acquainted with his preparation (Sander and Sons) I use no other form of eucalyptus as I think it shy far the best." Dr L. P. Prestons Lynchburg, ?a., writes—" I never used any oreparation other than Sander and Son s. as 1 found the others to be almost useless. Dr J. T. Cormell, Kansas City, Kana.-, says —“Care has to be exercised not to be supplied with spurious preparations, as done by my supply druggist." Dr H. U. Hart, New York, says—" It goes without saying that Sander and Sons’ Euoalypli Extract is the best in tbo market. * IJr James Reekie, Fairview, N. M.—“ So wide is with me the range of’applications of Sander and Sons Eucalypti Extract that I carry it with me wherever 1 go. I find it most useful in diarrhoea, all throat troubles bronchitis, etc.”
