YfA Nelson correspondent supplies the following:—The Fruitgrowers Union Committee have appointed Messrs Laery & Macfarlane Union agents in Christchurch, and the Wanganui Cider Co. in Wanganui. Members of the Union will be interested in learning that arrangements have been made with a Wellington firm for the stencils of the Union brand ; these can now be obtained through the Secretary, or ordered from the Wellington agents of the Union, on payment of two shillings. This will cover the members’ shipping marks, if it is desiied to have them cut. The Committee went into the matter of supplying members with information as to the state of the various markets, and while recognising how useful the Union could be made in this direction, the question of funds presents a serious stumbling block at present. It is believed that the rebate occur ing to the Union will shortly be sufficient to warrant something being done in the matter. As soon as possible, inofrmation as to shipping rules, grading, list of agents, Union code, etc, will be printed and forwarded to members.

The f ireman of a large fa,ctory up N n th is having rather a lively time just, now. Wishing to make a good impresq m on the “boss,” one morning recently he 1 >cked out fifteen girls for being one minute late in going to their work, and duly noted the fact next morning, while hurriedly ap-

preaching the place where he was wont to, wield iris authority with such an iron hand, he chuckled quietly to himself to think there were no “ lates ” that day. What was his dismay, however, on reaching the door to find it locked ? He was a minute late, and someone had paid him out in his own coin. Now he dodges home.by side streets to avoid his friends.

An alleged cure of cancer is just now exercising the people of England very considerably. The patient, Lady Margaret Marsham, sister of the Earl of Romney, had a growth which had quite closed her throat, so that the admisistration of food had to be carried out by ai tificial means. She lay at death’s door, and several medical men had declared her case hopeless. Then, as a last resource, on the recommendation of a neighbour, a handfull of fresh green violet leaves was mixed in a quart of water, which strained off in a green liquid. On a piece of lint, this solution was applied to the exterior of the throat near the growth. The application was repeated daily, and there was soon a gradual improvement. The growth subsided, and ultimately disappeared. Lady Marsham is now quite well. These facts seem indisputably established, and it is said that the doctors diagnosed the growth as cancel - . The main question to be decided now is whether the disease was really cancer, and as part of the growth has been sent to the cancer hospital for investigation, there will doubtless soon be a definite pronouncement on the supposed cure. We learn that the Government has decided upon complete organisation of all the public school cadet corps throughout the colony. The model rifles will be used for purposes of drill, and a first consignment of miniature Martini-Henry rifles with an adequate supply of ball ammunition have arrived in the colony for the use of those who will be first entrusted with rifle pract ce. The organisation and command of the school cadets of thecolony will, .ve understand, be entrusted to Maj >r L weday, who has so long and strenuously worked for the movement.

The m Vo -car is gradually making its wav into the "most remote c >rners of New Yealand. Ten residents of the East Coast who were fortunate enough to win a considerable sum in a Tattersail’s sweep recently, are reported to have invested some of the money in the purchase of one of these cars, which has been ordered from Glasgow. Mr J. Ismay, of the well-known shipping firm of Ismay, linrie and Co. (the White Star Line) and Miss Ismay are at present in Wellington. Mr Ismay is taking a trip for the benefit of his health, and lias taken advantage of his opportunities to see some of the resources of the colonies.

A peculiar accident is related by the Melbourne Argus as happening to a lad named Herlett at a "Victorian creamery. Noticing the frosting on the pipes in the refrigerating room,he put his tongue against it, with the result that he was unable to withdraw it. He remained literally glued to the pipe until such efforts as he could put forth attracted attention, and then the tongue had to be separated from the frosting with a knife.
