A well-known Scottish architect was traveling in Palestine recently, when news reached him of an addition to his family circle. The happy father immediately provided himself with some water from the Jordan, to carry home for the baptism of the infant, and returned to Scotland.

He pulled the flask from his pocket, but the beadle held up a warning hand, and came nearer to -whisper, “No the noo, sir, no the uoo. Maybe after the kirk’s oot. ”

The wheat market at Christchurch is still in a quiet state, there being very little inquiry. Some of the smaller holders are disposed to accept the limit at which buyers have fixed value, and several small lots of Tuscan and Hunters have changed hands at 4s 6d at country stations. The New market is being steadily supplied with Australian flour, and |the Warrimco brought another 4G23 sacks on her last trip from Melbourne. Local merchants have apparently ceased making inquiries for oats, as no supplies are being offered by growers. There is, however, a renewed inquiry for chaff for shipment to Sydney, and the prices is ratherffirmer. Dorwentpotatces are in better demand, and rather more is now offered for this variety than for Up-to-dates. THE PEIZE ADVERTISEMENT.
