Eastwood, of Taranaki, is growing potatoes entirely free from blight. He uses a preventive that was used by his father in the West Indies as a precaution against blight in the arrowroot and ginger crops, which take disease very readily. He has been using '■-his specific with his potato crops at T-mgaporntu for five years, and has no' me * had them affect j d by blight.

He soaks the seeds for 24 hours, and in the case of potatoes allows tin on to dry for another 24 hours before olanting so as to avoid mildew.

WOLFE’S SCHNAPPS healthfally stimulates without exciting. One of the wonde-s of Java is a lake of boiling mud two miles in circumference, in the centre of which immense columns of soft, hot mud continually rise and fall. Besides these columns there are two gigantic bubbles near the edge, which fill up like balloons and explode on an average three times per minute. In a police court an intelligent country witness was being cross-ex-amined by a rather fierce looking 3 ilicitor, whose questions were equally fierce. At last, seeing there wis not much prospect of confounding the countryman, the man of law remarked sarcastically, “ You’re a nice fellow, aren’t you ?" “ I am,” said the witness, unhesitatingly, " and only I’m on my oath I’d say the same thing of you.”

At the New Plymouth Police Court G. Williams, J. Marsden, and S. H. Brierly were chaiged with betting at the Taranaki races. One pleaded gniity, stating he was unaware of the Borough bye-law making illegal the calling of odds on a portion of the course which is a Borough reserve under which bye law the charges were brought. The other two pleaded not guilty by wire, but the S.M. declined to accept such a plea. He said that when he inflicted fines in the previous c ises he gave warning that subsequent breaches of the bye-law would be dealt with severely. He inflicted fines of i?io each on account of the first days’ betting, and £2O each on the second, or a total of £3O, with costs £1 17S. The mantle of John Alexander D >wie lias fallen upon another Australian. It is announced from Zina City headquarters (says the American correspondent of the Sydney Daily Telegraph) that Wilbur Glenn Voliva, of Melbourne, has been appointed the overseer’s right hand man, and has been given the title of deputy-general overseer of the affairs of Zion throughout the world. This places the Melb uirno in in above all other officers save Dowie himself. Voliva arrived from Australia on February 6, and reached Zion on February 12. The following Sunday he made his first public address. It was a dramatic appeal for self-sacrifice to restore the city and institutions to a sound financial basis. As a result, the congregation deposited on a table money, jewels, and other valuables. Women removed rings and bracelets, and passed them up; m°n gave up watches diamonds and cheques ; while pledges were received in value from 10 cen s to 3000 dollars. The great tabernacle held the largest audience h had c mtained for months. All Zion was eager 1 o see this new leader, who, like Dowie, had come from Australia. A flutter of excitement was cre ifed the o her morning when it was reported that a strange man, ab <ut m -dium build, grey beard, wearing a slouch hat and grey clothes, had assaulted a young lady employed by Mrs Cotter.

On bmng inf wined that he could not be -up died with the commodity he b cam - abnsivand seiz-.-d th- young lady by the shoulder sand she fainted. An >th"r female assistant came on the scene but the man had decamped. There was no one else in the house, Mr and Mrs Cotter being away. The young ladies went to the pohee station—which, by the way, is not connected with the telephone—and informed the police. The young lady was in a state of nervous prostra'ion.
