Tea Growing iv New ZBALAiND. The" Colonies and India," commenting on the report now current that the tea-harvest in-r; several j Indian tea gardens is seriously threatened by the spread of certain insect pests, points out the desirability of introducing teacultitre extensively into New Zealand, " a region as yet unyisited by the iasect nuisances of Europe and Asia." The writer goes on to say :— " For more than 500 years the European silkworm escaped nearly every disease ; for about 40 years the tea plant m India has. suffered from nothing more than an occasional hailstorm ; and the famous vineyards of Constantia, in' South Africa, have fortunately riot suffered like others m Europe, America, and to ascertain extent m Australia. (3dupl-r ing those circumstances with the known happy freedom of New Zealand, Jforonstarice, of most kinds of objectionable parasitic life, it seencs fair to conclude that,' properly managed, tea j wine, and silk culture, should there enjoy a long immunity from the scourges of the Northern Hemisphere) and that under; the defence of proper precautions, the pests alluded to need .never be in* troduced." . .; - ,

.. /ThVgenerosity of tnoke who rule Irefand is something magnificeuc. On the occasion' ; of three hundred women leaving Limerick for .the- cotton mills of New Hampshire, U. S., the, authorities determined- to give each one of them an outfit. For .this purpose fifty pounds was voted, or about eighty cents a piece; This jcili provide tEem each with a — that is to say, we only know of one . out 1 * fit that a woman' wears which -can be bought for JB|ghty cents. / An Irish <lrili sergeant anawkward squad to present arms exclaimed, m disguat, "Hivens ! what a prisintarms that is ! Jist step out here, every one of yez, and 'look at yersilves."
