The number of men working on the estate has been increased. The syndicate has lately disposed of another block of the estate at a good figure. The births during 1903 in London totalled 130,906, the lowest for a decade. The marriage rate has fallen from a maximum of 38 4-sth per 100 c in 1898 to 17 2-sth.

Replying to Mr J. Vile, M.H.R., whr has asked that a site should be set apart for a public library at Shannon, the Minister of Lands states that he if negotiating for the transfer of a section of land from the Manawatu Railway Company. In reference to the Te Awaite murder, a deer-stalker’s guide, who is at present in Wellington, gives it as his opinion that Ellis is still in the district, and it was suspected that persons am supplying him with the necessaries of life. So far as he knew, the reward of £IOO offered for his capture had not induced anyone to search for the miss ing man.

The following letter was received from a resident by the Eketahuna County Council —" Enclosed you wil' find xos for registration of my dog. You may boast of freedom and liberal laws in New Zealand, but if 10s isn’t compulsive cohesive taxation, I do not know any other name to give it. It is as bad as it could be in Ireland.” It is said that Lake Alexandria, in the Mackenzie Country, which is reserved as a sanctuary for native game, is teeming with wild fowl, the birds, seeming to know that they are out nl harm’s way when on the waters of this lake. At Milford Lagoon, nearTemuka (says the Oamarn “Mail”), the satm thing is seen. When the shooting season opened, the lagoon was black with ducks.

Dead-beats and professional cadgers will soon be as extinct as the dodo around Hawera. Ifasuggestion which the district Charitable Aid Board has made to the Borough Council is adopted, all applicants for public charity will in future be introduced to a heap of boulders conveniently placed by the wayside and informed that their remuneration will be on the piecework principle.—M. Time'-. Discus; ing the licensing situation and tho impending fight a southern contemporary says;—A Wellington brewer who has gone to America is said to be going to bring hack with him the strongest “ liberty ’’ orators of the States, and enough evidence from Maine and Kansas and elsewhere to bury prohibition for ever. There are not wanting signs of present activity in the colony. With the possibility of another Licensing Bill hanging over their heads, the publicans are in a distinctly uneasy seat. At a meeting of the committee of the Manawatu Rowing Club held in the secretary’s office on Thursday, it wasde cided to impose the fine provided by the by-laws of the Club on certain members who had kept the boats out over the prescribed time on Good Friday and had used the boats for fishing, both of which circumstances constituted a breach of the Club’s rules. It was also decided that the rule against fishing in the boats be posted conspicuously in the boat shed.

Wandering through San Francisco in search of “notions” that would be useful in the Union Steamship Com* pany’s service, Mr R. R. Williams, providore superintendant, found his way into the palatial Alexander Young Hotel, says a correspondent of the Lyttelton Times. It is said that the building cost £300,000, and is one of the finest west of Chicago. It is furnished with a complete set of refrigerators. There are separate freezing chambers for poultry, fish, game, and meats, and big supplies, ready carved, are always kept for immediate use in cases of emergency. The machinery is driven by boilers using petroleum for fuel, and various electrical contrivances are utilised. One of these freshens up hot rolls and others clean plates and wash dishes.

Jonesville, Wis., has been convulsed by a positively indecent form of journalistic enterprise, One of the papers in the town recently published an article setting forth the names of all the available bachelors in the neighbourhood, with a handy guide to their good qualities and the probable amount of their earthly holdings. So far not much damage was done. America is a free country, and the editor was felt to be within his rights. But when the paper went on to announce that it would print in the following week’s issue a list of seventy-five or one hundred spinisters who were willing to marry, there arose a great commotion. Ostensibly it was headed by the spinisters themselves, but one suspects that masculine intrigue, in the sacred cause of self-defence, may have had something to do with it. Anyway, the editor was hauled up in court and forced to give bond that no names would be printed. So that in Jonesville, Wis., nature is still left to take its coupse,

An experienced guide from the Wairarapa, who knows every acre of bush country and every mountain ridge and spur in the lower Wairarapa, informed x " Times ” reporter a few days ago that he was strongly of opinion that Ellis, the man wanted in connection with the murder of Collinson at Te Awaite, is still in the district. The “ Wairarapa Leader ” says the general opinion is ■ hat Ellis is still in the bush ; further, that if he is to be found the re'ward of £IOO will have to be raised. Taihape is noted as a town which is constantly full of drunken men. One cf the local papers—the News—says men enter the town with fat *' cheques,” md are primed with liquor so long as they can call and pay for it. After their funds are depleted, they are “ run in,” and charged with being idle and disorderly persons, while the person who has supplied them with liquor is enriched by their fall and is looked upon as a leader of society. The Prohibitionists can point to an object 'esson in Taihape, and unless an improvement is speedily effected in the conduct of the trade in the town, there is certain to be a strong vote cast in ‘avour of Prohibition at the poll next year, ANDER and SONS EUOALPYTI EXTRACT.
