There is good news for those who live to read in bed. This most exquisite «,f all luxuries has, like most of the rare joys of the world, been under the puritan ban of censure. Dr Carl Seiler, an oculist of repute, now comes forward and not only says that there is no harm in this charming pleasure, but even advises those with weak eyes to read habitually in a recumbent position. Trie physiological reasons which the doctor gives should be quoted “The recumbent position allows more rest and repair of all the bodily structures than sitting. Wherever possible we bring gravity into play to relieve congestion. It has long been recognised that by throwing the head back gravity is brought into play to empty the veins over-tilled by prolonged eye work. Why this is not carried t > its logical conclusion is a mystery. It is plain that nlacing the head in a horizontal position absolutely meets the whole problem of congestion by gravity.” Dr Seiler should be regarded in the light of a real benefactor.

Some extraordinary prices were realised at the clearing sale held by Messrs Nolan, Tonks and Co., on account of Mr W. W. Carpenter, of Okaiawa. The 38 cows average £ll 6s each, the highest reaching the great price of .£l6, while four heifers averaged £7 10s each. A draught mare sold for £sl. Lambing results are very satisfactory throughout the Wairarapa, but on the East Coast the excellent returns are (says a contemporary) discounted, owing to the depredations of hawks and wild pigs. The latter are very numerous in the Mount Adams and wild Paipo districts, and even as far back as Douglas. A “way-back” settler states that recently he saw a gigantic boar tackle two newly born lambs and immed.ately eat them. - It having been discovered that fertilisers sold in New South Wales are, in many cases, so largely adulterated that they don’t fertilise much, or so wholly bogus that they don’t fertilise at all, a special Bill is being passed to put down this heartless swindle. But if, theie existed a proper Adulteration Act, which fell on the person who adulterated anything, or sold anything under the false pretence that it was what it wasn’t, no special Act would be needed. The Adulteration and False Pretences Act should extend from the draper who advertises that he is selling below cost when he isn’t, to the individual who trades oft’ old cows for guano; and en route it should take in the person who says he is reluctantly offering bis valuable but un profitable business for sale “owing to his compulsory departure for Europe/, when in reality he is only going to Burwood to hide from his creditors. — Bulletin.
