Systematic poisoning is carried out in the country, but a prohibitive bylaw makes the borough a prolific breeding ground for thousands of birds. 3uch fruits and vegetables as have not been stringently netted bavc already _beeu turned into sparrow, and the 3 uic y pea is lq a fair way to become extinct. The inclusioiTof swiiumiug'as part of the school ' curriculum by tbe Loudon County Council has met with uuemalified success. Out of the children attending these classes 30,105 were girls. Many of tho schools have their own contests, but the Loudon Schools Swimming Association, to which a large number of the schools arc affiliated, holds an annual competition in the autumn of each year, when certificates ror proficiency are given to every boy who can swim 100 yards, and every girl who can cover fifty yards. The methods of tariff makers and incidentally the folly of farmers are illustrated bv tbe following remarks of Mr Arnold, M.H.R. “I consider the result of the Tariff very satisfactory indeed, and I was delighted at the fair-minded manner in which country representatives looked at the question.

Skerrett, K. 0., who represented the Licensed Victuallers’ Association in the famous Newtown Licensing Appeal case, strolled in. His opportune and solemn 'entrance dissolved the decorum of Bench and Bar.

Thursday’s Dunedin Times states that Lionel Terry, on arrival at Lamb Hill, last Friday, was hatless, and clad only iu shirt, trousers, and sandals. A resident him a hat and then a cap, both of which were politely but firmly refused. Ho quietly told thorn who he was; also that lie had -made his way thither from Soacliff across some rough, country, including the Silver Peaks. Ho was tired, ho said, of tho monotony of Seacliff, and in-

tended to take a fortnight’s change. Tho fact of his having traversed such a difficult stretch of country iu a few liotirs did not seem to strike him as being a feat.
