GRATEFUL —COMFORTING. EPPS’S COCOA. BREAKFAST. —“ By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected cocoa, Mr Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately-flavored beverage which may save us many heavy doctor’s bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame.” —See article in the Civil Service Gazette.

Patea breakwater is 1200 feet long, and the amount expended on construction, salaries, &c., since July 77, is £13,887. Present depth on har, 10 to 11 feet at ordinary spring tides. Sir John Coode estimated that by carrying the breakwater 400 feet further out (one-third longer than at present), a depth of 16 feet at ordinary spring tides will be attained, under unfavorable circumstances. This contemplates much better results as being probable ; and the depth attained at the present length of 1200 is greater than was expected. The cost so far has been very much less than the first estimate. Distances. —Waverley is 9 miles from Patea by railway route, as compared with 30 miles to Wanganui.
