The brick-building in Main Street to be used as’a Chinese fruit shop is being erected speedily, and, when completed, will certainly add attractiveness to the preeent dismal appearance of that portion of Main Street.

The latest gem from Mount Eden (Auckland) school:—“ Now, in order to subtract,” explained the teacher to the class in arithmetic, “things have to be of the same denomination. For instance, we couldn’t take three apples from four pears, nor six horses from nine dogs.” A hand went up in the back part of the room. “ Teacher,” shouted a small boy, “ can't you take four quarts of milk from three cows ?” A London cablegram says Mr H. Arnold Forster, Secretary of State for War, speaking at the Lord Mayor’s banquet at the Guildhall, said the British army was daily improving in training and numbers, and the personnel of the existing system would soon secure a trained infantry reserve of 140,000 or 240,000 if the initial term ol training was reduced from two years to one year.

Mr E. G. Jellicoe is by no means satisfied with the treatment which has been extended to hmi by the Commissioner of Texas in endeavouring to obtain from him taxation on income—which he did not receive—during his absence from the colony, but he also finds time to admire the smartness of the department’s officers. He told the Chief Justice on Saturday that he returned from England on Saturday, September 23rd, and on the following Monday his name appeared as an arrival in the “ New Zealand Times,” He had hardly got seated in his office at xo o'clock that morning when the department “slapped a writ into” him for £(55 for taxation on income which did not accrue during his absence, but which was assessed on the basis of his income during the previous year! They demanded payment within fourteen hours, and in default threatened him with all sorts of dreadful things, (Laughter.) His Honor dryly remarked that at all events it showed that the officers of the department were ah’ve »o Hs interests. “Yes, said Mr Jellicoe. “ and it showed I had mighty little chance of coming here for a year, earning an income, then clearing out again, and thus dodging the income tax.”

Should the weather keep fine, a number of Foxtonians intend accompanying the “Sunbeam Party’’ to Levin to morrow, where they give an entertainment in the evening.

Sutherland “I’ve got a White Man Working for Me,” and R. Grace “ You do soon change your mind.” A rehearsal with the new musician, Mr Archie McMinn, was a great success, and those accompanying the Party can rely on a splendid evening’s entertainment, A dance will bs held at the conclusion of the concert.

An elector al Mr Wilford’s meeting at Petorie asked him with much emphasis, '* Is it t'rtid mat ydu played golf da the racecourse on a Sunday ?” “It id perfectly true,” was the immediate reply. “ I played golf on every Sunday I could get out.” Applause. There is an impression abroad that Under the UeW Electoral in voting for members, d cross is (6 oe pldc'ed opposite the name of the candidate for whom the elector desires to vote. This is not the case, however, no change having been made from the old system of voting.

At the railway station at Carterton Mr Yerex Was photographing it cllarh' pion bullock of the Gear Meat Company, when the animal objected to the : exact pose required by the operator, and Charged the camera.

Meanwhile several boxes I were found in the river and one in a barber’s shop. ! A Brighton farmer went to his j preacher the other day and asked that ! his name had to be taken off the church ' hooks, says (he Field and Farm, Denver. . “ What is the trouble, Brother Jones ?” j asked the surprised pastor. “ i suppose i you were a faithful follower of the ! Lamb.” “ Well, I sorter believe that 1 myself, but there is just no use talkin’, i a man can't serve the Lord when he has to milk twenty cows in fly time, i- After the first heavy frost I’ll • try this church business again, but just now I’ll : either have to sell the cows, give up the ' church or be a durned hypocrit.” | A pitiful tragedy was the subject of an inquest opened at Geraldine on j Saturday. From the evidence so far I elicited it appears that a girl named | Tiney, between 15 and 16 years of age, | daughter of a carter at Mount Peel, on j Friday gave birth to a child in an out- ■ house. It is alleged that she buried the j infant. She then milked two cows be- ! fore going in-doors, where she became j ill. Questioned by a constable she said ; she thought the child was born dead, j but a doctor is understood to be pre- | pared to say that it breathed, and that 1 its skull was smashed with a spade or I otherwise. The putative father of the child is a youth of 17. The inquest was , adjourned for a week, j Speaking on the No license question, j a lay member at the Dunedin Anglican 1 Synod said he would like to see drinking bars made like shops, where a man could go and buy liquor just as he would a pair of socks. The Primate took up the argument, and assured the speaker and the synod that it would not be desirable to have liquor sold as freely as sock*. The sale of drink, he remarked, differed from that of ordinary wearing apparel. The good woman who was buying socks or other things got what she wanted and did not wanted and did not want any more, but the man who got liquor wanted more. The supply of intoxicating liquor frequently excited a demand, and the result years ago at I Liverpool of such an experiment as that suggested had been disastrous.
