The peach trees under cultivationt a the Frimley orchard—sixty rows each a mile in length-greatly impressed the Government viticulturist during his visit to Hastings. He says that he has seen no finer sight at any orchard in this colony. At a collection made at a charity fair, a lady ofiered the plate to a rich man who was well known for stinginess. “ I have n’othing,” was the curt reply. “ Then take something, sir,” said the lady ; “you know I am begging for the poor.” Miss Maggie Gordon, M.A., of Marton, and Jdiss M. Sinclair, of Kaitangata, have been accepted for work in the Canton mission field. They are now at Dunedin, and will probably leave for Canton in September. The Foreign Missions Committee of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand has authorised Mr MeNeur to purchase a mission site at Canton up to .£SOO in cost. A remarkable story was told at Manchester recently in the course of the bankruptcy examination of William Stanton, formerly a cashier to Messrs Reiss Bros.' shipping merchants, who was sentenced to 10 years’ penal servitude at the last Manchester Assizes for embezzling money amounting to .£46,000. —The debtor, who received a £IOO a year salary, said that for six years before 1900 his income improperly obtained was four or five thousand, and during the past two years, ten thousand. His ordinary living expenses were £SOO a year, and the whole of the difference had gone in betting and gambling on the Stock Exchange. He had owned racehorses, and for five years he carried on a business as a skirt manufacturer under the name of Wilson, and lost £6OOO. lie bought South African gold mine stock to the extent of £IBO,OOO and sold it for £178,000. The examination was adjourned. The American people, or, at anv rate, not a few of them, have a wonderful genius for inventions. Just lately an important development of the fruiij. industry in the Washington State was reported by the State Commissioner, a development which is destined to prove of considerable help to orchardists, applegrowers especially. A famous fruit farm of Walla Walla County has demonstrated the profitableness of making a highly salable jelly from what are known as “cull” apples. Last season Mr M’Arthur, manager, utilised a newly invented machine which does all the work of making jelly automatically. Apples fed in at one end came out at the other in three minutes as perfect jelly, and this without the use of any sugar at all. The jelly is all sold at once at ten cents a pound. It takes about 71b of apples to make lib of jelly. This wonderful machine can make 20001 b of this jelly in one day, thus using 14,0001 b fruit. At this v rate the product would be worth more iiihan £4O for between six and seven toris of apples. The waste, it may be supposed, would do for cattle or pig food A FoiclrtHuenza and Cold in the Head | take Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure, Is 6d anS 2s 6d.
