Palmerston North now possesses a sworn in Fire R.lice Corps. In the absence ot a brigade in Foxton a police or salvage corps would be an excellent institution and might mean a considerable saving of goods if a fire should by any misfortune occur.

In “The Review of Reviews” for July, just to hand, one of the first things that strikes one on turning over the pages is the great change apparent for several months past, which has taken place in its general character. While it preserves all its world-wide features, it has also come to deal largely with matters of Austral 1 ™ interest, and from the way in which it is taking up the great questions which are agitating the minds of people in Australasia to-day. it is little w-mder that it is rapidlv increasing its hold on the people. Pride of place is given in the July issue to an article on the “Friendly Societies of Victoria* and the Commonwealth.” Into a com parativelv small space a vast amount of interesting information is crowded, and even an Australasian reader will probably be surprised at the amount of money which is invested in Friendly Societies in these colonies, Another article of Interest, also well illustrated. Is on the Use of Electricity instead of Steam with regard to Freight and Passenger Traffic, a subject which is of special Interest to the colonies in th* present stage of development. The second instalment of “ The Church and Social Problems \ is given. The standard features of the “Review,” viz., the leading articles in the world’s magazines, and the general review of them, are well up to the mark.

Messrs Hennessy and Co. advertise a special price list of general household goods in this issue.

New Zealand railways In the last financial year earned .£2,509,231, and expenditure was £1,492,900. The nett profit on working was thus £716,831.

Residents of Foxton and district arc invited to note an advertisement from Mr Starch, photographer, who has commenced business in the studio next the Gospel Hall, in Park street. All branches of the work will be attended to, and a trial is solicited.

The American Hairdressing and Shaving Saloon, which is tinder the management of Mr L. Edwards, has an announcement in another column of this issue. Toilet requisites and smokers’ supplies are stocked in great variety, and satisfaction is warranted on a trial being made. A reminder is given of the complimentary smoke concert to be tendered on Monday evening to members of Parlirment tvho are making an inspection of the proposed railway route from Great ford to Levin. In order to make the function a thorough success all citizens are invited to attend and so show that they are keenly alive to the necessity of the line in the interests of progress for town and district. The concert will begin at 8 p.m. Feilding is at present, in keen suspense owing to the impression that an incendiary is at work there. Suspicious circumstances are attached to several recent outbreaks of fire, and at the inquest in connection with the destruction of Hasde’s Hotel, in which a girl named Nellie Curtayne lost her life, the jury returned the following verdict: That the remains produced in court were those of Nellie Curtayne who perished in the fire which destroyed Hmtie’s Hotel on the ißth inst.; that the fue started in the bar parlour, next the gas-meter, under suspicions circumstances, and that there was not sufficient evidence to prove how the fire originated, A meeting of the committee of the Manawatu Rowing Club was called for yesterday evening, but the only persons who turned up were the captain (a gentleman who never fails to keep appointments), and the secretary, The failure of this institution to obtain a working executive leads to the reflection that although the honour of a position at the counsels of the institution is worth having those who accept the honour should be prepared to pay for it at the contract price,—in other words at the price of attending to their duties. The characteristic of accepting honours for the sake of displaying them but shirking the duties they involve indicates a paltriness which the members of the committee should consider beneath .their dignity.
