MISCELLANEOUS.
Teacher of a juvenile class in a Taranaki school "What does g-r-a-c-e spell. ' No reply. "What does your father say before meals'" Cp went a hand at once. "Please, miss, he says, "Easy on the butter, kids; it's 2s 3d a pound.'" * * * A Chinese tradesman in Mastertan voluntarily asked his landlord to increase his rent. It was not a spontaneous act of commercial morality, however. John had seen a lady scrutinising his business premises somewhat closely, and he thought she might fee about to offer a bigger rent than he was paying. * * ■ "Where duty calls or danger, be never waiting there," is the motto of at least one Feilding man. Going home about tea-time a hubby confided to the pressman that he had kept away from home all day, because it was washing day and the town water was very muddy in the morning.
