“The time for little wooden churches in both town and country is gone,” said Archbishop Julius in the course of his sermon ;V the new church of St. James, Lower Riccarton, when complimenting the people of the parish on erecting such a substantial stone building. The Archbishop added that wooden (Tiurehos were not abiding, and the lime had come when they should (mild nobler structures, as their fathers had done in the old land. The previous church in the Lower Rieenrloii parish had been destroyed by lire. “Wooden churches ought to be destroyed by fire or in some oilier way,” the Archbishop added.
A new theory to account for the small stature of the Japanese race lias been advanced. A member of the Government Health Bureau says that the .Japanese custom of sitling on (lie door with legs cramped lias retarded the dcvelopenient of lower limbs of Hie race as a whole. In support of bis contention, lie quote- statistics of the Department of Education which show that the average stature of Japanese male students of twenty years of age has increased three tenths of an inch, and that of female students ninetenths of an inch, since the year 1907. in consequence of spending h ss time silting on the door at home and more time in physical exercise at school.
An event without parallel in the history of Freeinn.sonry is the fact lha I four members of the Royal Fa mil v now hold high Masonic cilice. The Du Eh of Connaught is Grand Master of England, the Prince of Wales is Provincial Grand Muster of Surrey the Duke of York for Middlesex, and Prince Arthur of Connaught for Berkshire. The Royal Family has been prominently associated with Freemasonry ever since the eldest son of George TI been me the first Prince of Wales to become a member of the Craft in 1737. Since that time the number of Royal Dukes and Princes wlm have become Freemasons is considerable, and include, besides our present King, two other of our Sovereigns.
Tt seems to be fashionable with Chinese who wish to dispense hospitality in the way of beverages for a consideration not to give clients overdoses (remarks the ‘Wanganui Chronicle’). , They have evidently gleaned this idea from some of the hotels, where the glasses for spirits arc tapered to a tine point in the interior and provided with a substantial thick glass bottom.. Having adopted the idea, the Chinaman does not go to expense of buying thick bpttom glassses, for lie merely uses an egg-cup, and not one made for bolding duck-eggs. Til two cases against Chinese in Wanganui for selling liquor the egg-cup has figured and for the contents of this ninepenee is charged. Tf gin is being served, it is also possible while washing the egg-eup to leave a small quantity of water in the bottom, and this makes the,prolit more handsome to the vendor and the drink less harm full to the purchaser.
A novelty lias appeared on the market in the shape of a toasted tobacco, which has caused quite a sensation in smoker’s circles. The process of toasting seems to have a most beneficial oflVcl upon tobacco similar lo what cooking, broiling or roasting has on food, it develops the flavour and makes it generally more savory, appetising, and, last, but not least, also more digestible. Small wonder that the local product has greatly gained in popularity through this latest improvement and smokers are advised to give it a trial; they are in for quite a new flavour. There are three grades obtainable now; Kiverhead Gold, a very mild and aromatic smoke, Toasted Navy Cut (Bulldog) of medium strength, and if you prefer a full body, try Cut Plug No. 10, the Bullhead label. All made of a new type of leaf famous for its small percentage oL' nicotine. Doctors and experts proclaim them to be healthier than most of the foreign tobaecos, and another consideration is their lower cost; they will reduce your tobacco Dill by 30 per cent. 11
