We are informed that an appeal is being lodged in the case of Hussey v. Miles, recently heard at Palmerston. The Timber Commission baa concluded its Invercargill sittings and has left for Dunedin. What is said to be a fairly rich coalmine has been discovered on the hills near Featherston. The seam is good coal, and is about five feet in thickness. Rose Kirwin, a servant girl, was charged to-day at Gisborne Police Court with the manslaughter of her new-born female child on March 10th. The evidence taken at the inquest was confirmed. This showed that the child lived after birth. Accused pleaded not guilty, and reserved her defence. She was committed for trial. Sir Frederick Treves, lecturing at the London Hospital on Radium, gave some astonishing instances of cures effected by the instrumentality of this marvellous element. One case oited was that of .a young woman who had a growth which nearly occupied one side cf the face. She had had a great number of ppreatious, almost with no success. Under radium she was cured. A child of twelve years, with an angiomata situated in the arm, the size of a hen’s egg, was treated with radium from two sides, and was cured within four weeks. In many oases eczema itching had been immediatey cured, and it did not return. Radium would also cure rodent ulcers. A remarkable instance of bagging was related at the Sydney Central Police Court the other day. It appeared that on the previous day a respectably dressed woman, while at the corner of Drnits and York streets, was accosted by an elderly man, who begged for a shilling with which to purchase food. She replied that she had no money to give, but the man followed her and pressed her for money until she spoke to a police officer, ,with the result that the man was arrested. When the alleged offender was called before the Magistrate he firmly denied that he had been guilty of begging, and he certainly gave proof that he had no need to do so. TJja proof was the production of a Bank book to show that the accused had £376 in the bank and the second proof was a deposit slip for £BOB, which he handed up for the Magistrate’s perusal. The man’s denial, however, was disbelieved by the Magistrate, and he was sentenced to imprisonment until 6 o’clock in the evening. The foundation of lifelong illhealth may bo laid for young gsrl:by failure to keep their strength an;: health up'to normal. Stearns' Wine is best for them because it is a. triii tonio. ,<
