A shocking accident, resulting in the instantaneous death of the v£lim » schoolboy, occurred at the LindUeld railway station, .North Shore, Sydnev on the 2oth ut. It appears from what! the police and the railway authorities have ascertained, that Ernest Ivey 17 who was a pupil at Fort-street" school' and who was a .resident of Lindfield' attempted to board a train bound for Sydney after it was in motion. By some means ho missed his looting aud fell between the ears. The wheels passed over his body, practieallv decapitating him. The unfortunate lad was at once extricated, and a medical man, who was called, said that death must have been instantaneous.

The first compilation of a census of the British Empire that has ever been attempted is made in an important, Blue IJoak issued recently by the Local Government Board, England. Nothing is more remarkable than the rate at which the Empire has grown during the last half century. In IsfJl it comprised in round numbers N,">O<i,of)o square miles. By 190] this had inrrcased to 11.908,378 square miles, a growth of nearly In per cent, in the short space of 40 years. The population during the same perhnl has risen from 209,0<)i ) to 395.!<)i,70i., or practically i n<l millions.

Tiu" funeral of ilie late Mr 0. Jtoskmg yesterday in Palmerston was the most numerously attended for a long time past in Palmerston aud was a fitting tribute to the memory 'd one so universally esteemed as the deceased. Ihe Masonic orders ar.d the members of Court Mamiwata, A.0.F., were conspicuously represented, each paying the hist rites ot respect to a deceased brother. Floral tributes were numerous. The Jiev. IJ. Beggs conducted thi- funeral ceremony. Prior to the procession leaving for the cemetery service was held at the Masonic Hail, Broad-street, and the cortege finally left there for the cemetery.

hist evening a social to welcome the Kev. J. J. I.ewis and family was held at Uroad-street Methodist schoolroom. There was an exceedingly large attendance, and G. H. Bennett acted as chairman. Addresses of welcome were g!s.-n by Messrs G. 11. Bennett, T. R. Hoddcr. J. i\ Lcary, 11. ilaydon. H. Verry, and Kev. il. L'egi/s. Kev. J. J. Lewis, in r.sing to respond, was greeted with loud applause, liie young men giving him three hearty cheers, the warm reception accorded the rev. gentleman showing that he has a]read_y won the hearts of the congregation, and especially the young people. The following' programme was gone through:—Solos: Misses S. .fanson, A. Mowlcm, M- Carty and Iveys, and Messrs A. Tregurtha and i'. Horn ; recitation. Miss M. Sussex tencoreu); mouth organ selection, Mr W. JLonks. At the close of the proceedings refresiunents, which had been supplied by the ladies of the congregation, were partaken of, and a most sociable and enjoyable evening was brought to a dose by singing the I'oxology.

Among the bankrupt estates from the administration of whim Mr G. .J. Scott, D.0.A., applied to be released at yesterday's bitting of the ,V l 1r ICt Court, was that of Mrs Jane Mulhns. When the ease was belorc his Honor Mr Scott intimated that Mrs Mullms had sent complaints to the 'if Justice concerning his hand-ing cu the estate and that lie had asked Her io be, present at th*-Court and have the matter settled. When Mrs Mu ins appeared she made a long statemen and also handed to the judge a copy o a letter sent bv her to the Auckland Free Press, ami printed in the i SSU( ; April Bth, 1901. His Honor, after reading the letter, expressed great surprise at any journal *" l cnts document, containing many st.iten a* it does reflecting seriously upon tlu LUJ.A.'s conduct. He sa»«l hat, m his opinion, Mr Scott had on y jus duty, and he therefore « cf him of any suggestion of improp J the matter.

In the north train last Saturday an o d man " held forth " in the smoking carriage on things in general, finishing up with the observation, " Ah, well; patience and perseverance will accomplish anything." " You're wrong," interrupted an important-looking man, " I know many things that cannot be accomplished by patience and perseverance." '• Well," name one thing," said the old farmer. "Will pahencc and perseverance ever enable vou to carry water in a sieve " Certainly," rejoined the back-blocks fanner, with a chuckle. " You've just got to have patience enough till the water freezes!" And the other occupants of the smoker yelled, while the questioner sank back All'.l studied the stock reports in the i daily paper,

V> ]iiic in All siralia recently Professor C. i>hikawa. of Tokio, Japan, remarked ' an interviewer that; education in Japan was neither quite free nor quite cempnUory. There were three classes of schools in his country—primary, then what might be called here su'o-

secondary, and then secondary. Thou, of course, there was the university. If :i person was very poor he was rot charged. but most of the pupils paid a small fee. An ollieial, corresponding to a village mayor, collected information as to whether children were attendmt: school. There were also private s-'hoois. but there was no system corresponding to our scholarships and exhibitions. English, he added, was the only foreign language taught in the elementary schools.

According to the annual report of an Australian Inspector there is great deal too much " goody-goody " and sentimental poetry taught in the State schools, especially in the lower classes. He recalls the fact that Thackeray pointed out that the nursery tales in which children take most delight are always of a bloodthirsty character, from .lack the Giant Killer down to Little Johnny Green and the Little Man Whose Bullets were Made of Lead. Mr Holland remarks that a boy brought up always and too strictly on moral precepts is too often, like a pup brought up on the chain as soon as he gets oil" he runs wild. Mr Holland Submits " that there is a certain amount of human perversity and contrariety m the youngest of us, and that morality cannot be thrust down the throat.

The Grey River Argus refers to meetings of sawmillcrs held at Grcymouth last week as follows "So far as can be ascertained the meetings did not result in matters advancing very much towards a satisfactory settlement of the present state of affairs. There are, owever, hopeful indications that mattcr* will, in a comparatively brief space of time, be settled in a direction which All be beneficial not only to the sawmillers and their employees but to the wopie of the Coast generally.

Op page 2: Hockey motes by M HalfBack, general news. On page 3: Letters to the editor, Apiti news. Oa ]#age 6: Cable' news, telegrams. On page 7|: " Geraint's" sporting notes. Captain Edwin telegraphed to-day: — Strong winds to gale from between northeast and north and west. Glass iall; rain probably heavy; rivers high after 20 hours from now. The boy Jtfarrison, whose peregrinations are reported on page 3, has been found on the road to Tinui. He has been in ill-health lately and this is the only cause that is assigned for his wandering from home. Speaking of the relative values of land as between dairying and fiaxrailling a Shannon flaxmilier told a representative of the Levin paper that ho last year made the sum of A' 2500 from 200 acres ot swamp land, A friend of his who owns 800 acres of goad dairying land made the sum oi' J21500 in the same period. The death is reported ot Mr Henry Thompson, of Tokomaru, after a long illness. Deceased was 65 years of age. He was a member of the Manchester Unity of Oddfellows, and was P.G. of tbe Loyal Kamapoura Lodge. His funeral fakes place to-morrow, leaving Tokomaru at 11 a.m. for the Shannon Cemetery. Referring to the Rev. C. C Harper's statement on Sunday regarding unemployed, the NZ. Times says :—" On inquiry we find that there are not more than a dozen men registered on the list of unemployed kept by the agent of the Labour Department in Mr Harper's district. For these there is immediate employment available on the Main Trunk line." According to the Farmer, the new process of bleaching flax fibre which was tested a short time ago by Messrs Lind and O'Connor of Shannon was successful in every way. The bleaching was accomplished m about three hours, whereas by the usual method it requires about three weeks to bleach. As soon as final arrangements are made with the patentees, the firm will employ the new methods for bleaching a' 1 their fibre. The rights of women in Australia have found another champion in the Faculty of Arts of the Melbourne University. " In view of the large number of women students passing through the Arts school the Faculty desires legislation which shall admit women graduates to the Uniyersity senate." This resolution has been agreed to by the Faculty, and will be duly considered by the council. The council will also have before it a motion by Dr Leeper to omit from the statutes the provision which prevents the University from incurring any liability in connection with the Conservatorium of Music, apart from the funds available for the special purposes of the conservatorium. The ethics of gambling were dealt with by the Rev. J. J. North in a forceful address at Wellington. Dealing with a charge that he gambled when he insured his house the speaker said:—" My reply is that I should be, very sorry to have to take my insurance money, but I have not yet heard of the man who would be very sorry to take the stakes in a bet. If the anonymous correspondent would be glad to get his insurance money he is over insured, and his company would be glad of his name. In insurance men deal with inevitable risk by a lnw of average", and every man gets his quid pro quo in ({uiet of mind. To confuse the public mind, and to call legitimate risk gambling is, in view of the issues at stake, almost a criminal offence."

An Australian writer, commenting on the Second Steeplechase won by Up-to-Date at the recent A.J.C. meeting, says the event was more remarkable for the magnificent exhibition of horsemanship afforded by the Tod Sloan steeplechase rider, C. O'Neill, than for anything else. O'Neill rode Grattan, who was making his debut over fences on a 21'o saddle, and as he took his preliminary, perched on the horse's withers, he was greeted with a voice from the Hat

"to lengthen his stirrups," and sit down; while others, more facetious than their companions,- shouted, " Get a saddle; good-bye, O'Neill; when he hits, you're gone"; and other discouraging remarks. Grattan did hit, not only once, but often, and hard, and so skilfully did O'Neill not only retain his seat but recover his mount each time, that when he returned to scale, after finishing third, he was accorded an ovation from all

pprts of the course. . . . Grattan was running second, and going well half-a-mile from home, when he hit a fence sufficiently hard to bring down nine horses out of ten, and unseat ninety nine jockeys out of a hundred, but O'Neill effected a marvellous recovery, though the contact with the timber cut both Grattan's knees to the bone, and lost him quite a dozen lengths. In discussing the Gorge Bridge question at the Oroua County Council meeting, pointed reference was made to the findings of the 1901 and 1900 Commissions. Cr Yincent contended that, making every allowance for altered circumstances —which m the main were but imaginary—the findings of the two Commissions went to show that Commissioners were anything but infallible. The Commissioners of 1901 and 1906 agreed on two points only, viz., that a bridge was required, and that the Pahiatua County should contribute 10 per cent. In the Commissioner's report just to hand it was mentioned that 50 per cent of the traffic was supplied by Palmerston, yet Palmerston's contribution is 2 per cent less than the 1901 decision, and Woodville's contribution is increased 6 per cent. Both places are practically equidistant from the Gorge Bridge, but certainly not of the relative importance one would gather from the different per centages allocated. The Oroua county's contribution is increased 14 per cent, and that of Feilding. the capital town of the Oroua county, reduced by 4 per ccnt. Without exception the representatives of the local bodies gave it as their opinion the bridge was a colonial work. The Commissioner, however, must have thought it more of a local work as he reduced the number of contributing bodies from eleven (as decided by the 1901 Commissioner) to seven only. Cycle buyers should thoroughly study material and construction before deciding upon their new wheel.
