Paul Nichols, a farmer of Benton Harbor (Mich.), is a human aquarium. For weeks he has been suffering from a serious stomach ailment. Recently he was seized with a violent coughing attack and emitted a qin fish. Other coughing spells have been attended with like results.

He kept the fish, and has it in a glass bowl- He calls it “Jonah.” The many friends of Mr and Mrs Wrigley will learn with deep regret that their daughter, Maud, passed away in the Palmerston Hospital after a brief illness yesterday morning at the age of 20 years and 10 months. The deceased young lady was a favourite with all who knew bar. She possessed a happy and affectionate disposition and her demise came as a great shock to her numerous friends. Our heartfelt sympathy, in common with the Foxton public, goes out to the relatives in their hour of sorrow. The body was taken to Wellington to day and was interred in the Karori Cemetery.

The honour of winning the citizens’ trophy at the local Bulb Show, for the first time, fell to Mrs Galland. The win was decidedly popular among members of the society, who were not slow in tendering Mr and Mrs Galland hearty congratulations. Mr and Mrs Galland have been associated with the society from its infant stage and their enthusiasm for the society’s welfare has been second to none. They have travelled in all sorts of weather from Moutoa, about seven miles, to attend committee meetings when local members would not venture out. We hope Mr and Mrs Galland will be fortunate enough to win the trophy right out. Mr Frank Penn, editor and proprietor of the Otaki Mail, accompanied by Mrs Penn, drove, per gig, from Otaki on Thursday to visit the local Bulb Show, and was delighted with the blooms and the manner in which the Show was conducted, Mr Penn is a keen horticultural enthusiast, and a successful exhibitor. For many years he lias been, and is now, the moving spirit in matters horticultural in sunny Otaki —in fact, it is said that one third of his time is occMipied in gardening pursuits. This, surely, accounts for his happy facial expression—a marked contrast to the corrugated brow and worried look associated with the “dials” of the rank and file of the fourth estate.
