Asked to supplement his remarks at Dunedin regarding the possibility of some of the Civil Servants who had been retrenched being taken. back into the service, the Hon. J. A. Millar told a Christchurch reporter that if conditions continued to improve at the rate .they had recently improved and the growth of the country’s trade was maintained there might be room for some of the retrenched, in the service. If additional hands were required, preference would be given to those who had been re. trenched, and had while in the service, satisfactorily performed their duties. In a Berwick, Scotland, milk case recently, in which a dairyman was charged with selling as new milk milk which was deficient 3.3, per cent in milk fats, an interesting and successful defence waß set up. Evidence was given that the milk had been milked by a strange milker. Defendant said that, from experiments which he had made himself, he had found that the last of the milk contained three times more fatty substance than the first, and with a strange milker the cows are apt to sulk and retain the richest part of the milk. On the bench dismissing the case the chief constable, as inspector of food and drugs, gave notice of appeal. There are very few people but what fail to realize the good work carried out throughout the length and breadth of the land by the Salvation Army. Tne Public Hall to-night (Tuesday) will be occupied 'by the Eiroriros, a company of twelve Salvation Army children, who ere touring the Dominion under the guidance of Brigadier Holdaway. Decently, the children appeared at Gisborne, where they were greeted by a packed house, this being their second visit. The “ Gisborne Times ” speaks highly of the entertainment given by the children, which they say “ has a true “Army ” flavour; it never drags, it is light, wholesome, and withal instructive, and shows in a realistic manner what splendid work the organisation is capable of doing.” It looks very much as if the Paeroa people liked to have mining tailings in the river. At the meeting of the Ohinemuri County Council lately an application from the "Wsihi-Paeroa Gold Extraction Company, asking for the removal from its licenses of the condition preventing it returning tailings to the river after treatment, was considered.

The following resolution waa carried by six votes to two: « That in order to facilitate the clearing and dredging of the Ohinemuri Biver the Counoil consents to the Warden removing the condition from the Waihi-Paeroa Gold Extraction Company’s licenses requiring the company not to return the tailings to the river after treatment, on condition that the company undertake that all taihngs and debris taken from the river, and not ground or treated, shall not be returned into the river.

An Invercargill telegram says :—ln an article, " Crimeless Invercargi 1 !,” Mr Q. B. Nicholls quotes from congratulatory addresses of Judges Cooper, Williams, Chapman, and Denuistou, and states that \n the last three anda-quarter years only seven com lotions have been recorded in the Supreme Court on matters that arose in Invercargill. Most of the cases were of a trivial nature, and two arose in the Awarua district. Mr Nicholls concludes : “ If the Government only give the people a chance by a national vote sort of equal terms, New Zealand's will assuredly sweep aw a Y- a,t the WU elec-

iiop.” ‘ There," said the dairyman, as he put a gallon of water into his two-gallon milk-can 5 “ no one shall say that my yqilk Is not clean, If that don't wash it I don’t what will, unless I put in a little soap."
