An Anti-Chinese and Asiatic League has been established ip Sydney with the object of conducting a crusade for the rooting out of Chinese and Other Asiatics in the Commonwealth, for the regulation of those living there, and to secure the repeal of the legislation which permitted then! to come to Australia at all. This is leap year, and a young lady at least, in Kaikoura, appears to. have been eserffising its privilege, judging by the following advertisement in the local paper i—“ If the young lady who so kindly offered nle her hand in marriage Wlli send me her name, I will accept her with pleasure.—D.W.S.” The Hon.

Some idea of the work that the valves of the heart must perform may he gathered from the amount of circulating blood which they must help in maintaining in circulation. There passes "through the main artery several gallons a minute. If a large tap in a bath tub be turned o.u'to its fullest extent it will about represent the flow of blood through this important blood vessel. If there is any defect in the valves here sudden death may readily occur. Where these valves are affected ( p|,tierj.ts mpst be especially* careful to avpicj ppaptigns. .They must also avoid sudden efforts of any kind, as running for a tramcar or hurrying up stairs. The local Debating Society assembled together as usual last Wednesday evening, the subject being a debate on the question ofland tenure. Mr Hunter, who opened, supported the leasehold system. Mr Hutchison opposed it in favour of the freehold. Messrs Barnard, Moore, Jenks, Harris, and Stewart, also expressed their views on the matter. On the vote being taken, the results were :—Freehold 5. Leasehold 2, Informal {, Mr Harris presided. Two ■ new members were proposed and elected.. The death is announced from Sydney of Sir George Dibbs, aged seventy years. During the seventy years of his life Sir George Dibbs played many parts. Politically, he was in the first rank in Australasia ; commercially he was a man of keen business insight. Deceased was born in Sydney in 1834, and at fourteen years ot age left school to go into a merchant’s office. When he reached manhood he boldly entered business on his own account in a coastal shipping venture, and later found his way to South America, where shipping interests also claimed his attention. Deceased’s political career commenced with his entry into Parliament in 1874 as member for West Sydney. Nine years later he rose to the position of Treasurer and Colonial Secretary of New South Wales, and in 1885 he assumed office as Premier of that State. In 1892 he accepted the position of managing trustee of the New South Wales Savings Bank. Prior to this he visited England on a financial mission as the representative of Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. Deceased was an enthusiastic volunteer, having been in the service for fifty years. Throughout his life he was a powerful advocate of the principles of protection.
A correspondent in the Spectator quotes the following “ mixed metaphors/' A certain Irishman, when he wanted to denounce a member of the opposite side of the Mouse, said ; “ The honorable member is a disgrace to the colours he is flying under ; ” and to kill a Bill that yon do not like, perhaps nothing is more forcible than “ Sorr, I intend to drive the last nail into the coffin of this unborn babe.” Modern naval warfare is one of (ho most costly things that can bo imagined; and a combat between two fleets means tlfe dxpericiitufe df vast sums of’’ money. Some idea of the high ddfil can be arrived at by taking a Japanese warship like the Kasuga or Nisshm and calculating the number of shots she would discharge, say, at Port Arthur. The firet-nanled ship carries four cannon of 300 millimetres, Which cost £ 60,000 eac'h. One of these guns can lire twei shots per minute, and every shot costs £BO. Thus in five minutes these four cannon can discharge 40 bdrilhs at a cost of £3200. The smaller cannon cost e;ldl £3600, and every shot they fire means an expenditure of £l4. They are very rapid, and it is estimated that in five minutes the 12 cannon discharge shdf td Hid value of nearly £7OOO. There are about 30 smaller guns, which can in five minutes throw out 10 tons of shell and slid! amongst the enemy. On the whole, it is estimated that .a firstclass warship can expend in an hour's rapid fighting a sum not, far short of a quarter of a million sterling. During the discussion on the Tied Houses Bill in the Legislative Council, the Horn Mr Twomey explained a scheme for dedllitg’ with, the liquor traffic,. This,scheme, he said, lie had been nursing in his breast for./yeafs. It Was to give power to the Government td eldse up 33 per cent, df the hotels of the colony Immediately. Then the licensing fees were to be raised to an extent that would provide partial compensation to the . publicans who had had . their houses closed. Three years later another 25 per cent, would be closed, and the process of compensation repeated. Me would do this until all public-houses were extinct. Then he would establish State bars in charge Of public officers, who would have no interest in the sale of the liquor, and where there would be inducements for drinking'. There would not even be a place to sit down. The Government would have the entire monopoly, and sly grog-selling, he declared, would be practically impossible.

Neglect Aiay vs Daxgkp.oux.—To the average man its .seems childish to doctor a cold, and unless it becomes particularly annoying to him, little or no atteu ion is given to it. Often a cold contracted in the winter is allowed to run until the opening of sp-ing. This is a grave mistake, as even though the warm wea'har may bring relief, the system is thereby weakened and rendered suseeptib eto disease A ooli should never be neglected, whether it be a child or an adult who is afflicted, as health and often life is risked.
