LOCAL AND GENERAL.

The plans for the New Plymouth Technical School are expected to lie ready for consideration by the Education Hoard at its next meeting. Hesitations by the following* teachers were accepted by the Education Hoard yesterday Miss Hai lley, Central ; Jlc A. E. (ireen, Upland Road ; Mr T. Hrownlee, I'ungarehu ; anil Mrs Benham, sewing teacher at Mahoe.

During a discussion on the ventilation of Salisbury roud school the Education Hoard's architect expressed his opinion that he was quite us qualified as l)r Valentine to deal with the subject.

Owing to the non-arrival of tents, etc., on Monday night, the Haweia Hifles were unable to go into tump. A fair number mustered for the purpose of camping, and were paraded in the drill shed, which parade will count as u drill.

On the recommendation of the Inpect'or the Education Btjard has decided to transfer £55 8s 2d from the technical account to the Hoard's general account. This is in the light of a contribution to the expenses of administration.

At fcltc llawera Opera House oil I'riday'evening next a complimentary concert will bo tendered to Master Frank Hutchens, who, acting on tlie advice of J'aderwski, is Shortly to leave this colony to attend the lioyal Academy of Music in London, Some rather startling disclosures were made during thu-hearing of a case against a " dealer " in the Glebe (Sydney) Police Court last week, lie was charged with having goods in his possession supposed to have been stolen, and one of tile incrim'inating features was the low price ut which he wasi offering ihein. A " threojionml " tin ol" tea, for example was offered for a shilling. It was explained to the Court that many itinerant dealers were in the habit of buying tea o/ the lowest possible grade, condemned salmon and sardines, as ! well as other goods l of various kinds, repacking them aga.in with fresh labels, etc., and then selling them either at private housvor to small grocers in Ilia suburbs. 'Mie police said that facts wero known to them, and t'liey were constantly on the watch, but mrely able to catch an offender. A wholesalu dealer informed the court that he had hundreds of cases of tea which he could profitably sell at :!d per Pound by tliei caw, but declared it to be sound and good. Ho nddod with pride that ;! had been worth

ightpence per Hi when the duly mis on. The 1 oil was pnf up in " threepound liiis containing- 21T> 'Am. net, and a printed label I tearing the l name of on imaginary lij-m on il. Other evidence showed that a very large trade was l.eing done 'in this manner.

The following tenders were consid- | cred on Wednesday by the Education j Hoard for raising and enlarging Fit■/.- \ l-oy school A. Olill £417, Plkett £440, L. Stub £ll9, Salt £ll2, Boon Bros. £f!88 (accepted.) j. The Truant Inspector for this dis- i Irict, in his annual report, states i that, with few exceptions, tlie at'ten- , dance is fairly good. In the mnjo- | rity of cases a final notice sutliced, j but, in some cases, parents had been I brought before the Court and small lines inflicted. ', We are informed that the new AVai- , tara Freezing Works are working ( most satisfactorily. The contract-j ors have remove J their men aiul , plant, and the works are puttintf through 700 sheep and : [lO bullocks ( per day. The manager expects sum to be killing 90 bullocks duil.v, whiah will be up to 'their full capacity. The following advertisement from the I'owt suggests trouble tor some inlerprising gentleman : —" A Winning.—The man who has Iven in the habit of stealing the milk IVom a | private, residence, Oriental Hay, is iwarned that he will meet with trou- j ble next time he attempts same. ; Dog let loose." I I The Maoris who have been busy , j around Kaponga gra«s seeding, etc., says the Wai'mate Witness', had a !day ou't " tunai " hunting o n Frldaj. > |The success ..they met with was | shown when they returned home in j I the evening with close on a hundred i eels, measuring from two to six feet I in length, strung oiv skicks, which wcro carried over their shoulders. The Education Board has accepted the following tenders for painting : —Boon Bros. : Tikorangi £B, Kaianai £8 15s, I'pland road £6 15s ; W.

We are requested to draw the atjtenlion of the " bargain hunting " 'portion of the conummity (whose name is legion) to Mr Newton King's grocery sale advertisement in another column.

est bidder entirely without reserve, j In the electrical bleaching of flour by the lately patented process of J X. Alsop, the apparatus consists of two arc lamps in parallel with n coil yielding a 15-inch arc. Vhe arcs are enclosed by tubes, and the air in these is electrified, producing a gaseous mixture containing nitrogen peroxide and traces of ozone. The gas is drawn off into a revolving hexagonal drum, where it is thoroughly incorporated with the flour. The | treatment not, only bleaches and purifies, Init is claimed to add to the nutritive quality, analysis showing increased nitrogen. I The discussion of the scholarships regulations by the Education Hoard yesterday produced sonic strong' cxpressions of opinion by Messrs Mackay and A 1 onkhouse on the; question of allowing children attending Catholic schools, and also tain;; educated at home, to compete for scholarships. Mr Mackay claimed that justice should be done to all 'children. Eventually the inspector and Mr Monkhouse retired to confer on the matter, with the result that the regulation was altered so as to throw open the competition for {scholarships to every child in Tara- ■ naki. I In distributing prizes to the successful Students of the Iloltorn Estate Grammar School the other day. the Lord Chief Justice ol' England (Lord A'lverstone) said he had .been for many years an interested student of French, and within the last live or six years he had learmxl a great deal of that language. His advice to boys was : '* Don t be afraid of work, and don t f e afraid of things because you don't understand them.. The boys who know line most feel most how ignorant they are. Concentrate your mind)

upon a subject, ami don't l,e ai'.iad of making mistakes. Always lie hum-ble-minded, and not conceited about , your achievements. However much ] you k'now, there is a great deal , more you don't know. The most accomplished and talenttvl people you meet are, almost without exception, the humblest people in the world." . I The Bishop of London, preaching on Christmas Day to a crowded congregation at Fulham Parish Church, sard ho was convinced that there ; were few in the world who dfcl not . believe in a God at all. He had talked year after year to thousands of working men, and he was convinced that ninety-nine out ot every . hundred' (.relieved in the existence of Gad. But what the woikl could not ; Ixilieve was that God wanted to come down among! his children, that he , wanted n<A only to love, b'ut to bo . loved. What doubt there was In the world was not due to lack of proof, . but want of imagination. The Gospels had been battered b.v years of criticism,. but they had conic out of .'stronger than ever. No fact stood . out stronger in evidence than tho I Resurrection ; nothing was more cer- ■ | than that Christ w : orked nine out of ten cases of doubt it ;was the imagination that was wron was the imagination that was wrong. I They could not conceive the truth. But even ns they loved their child|ren, they could not realise that the jlovo came from Heaven, and that , Go<l also loved Those whom he had jreatod. WHAT RHEUMO DOES. Mr W. Wearing, miner, Mataura, states as

old, ami have lived in Mataura 40 J'ears. For seven months I was a great sufferer from rheumatism, so bad that at timet; I coukl not leave my bed. I was told of Rheumo, nn:l took four hot ties. The result was that I was completely cired of rheumatism. Mr Mat;( 11 lilioti. who Is a 1 J.P., ; and a well Known merchant | here, can verify my Ntalem.-nt.

Having heard of Barraclough's Rheumatic (taken internally), 1 procured a bottle, a«KI before 1 had iinished taking ,it the Rheumatism was removed. I am (quite sure that it is a permanent cure, as it is quite four years ago since the euro was effected, and I havo not had the slightest return of the complaint.

In the early spring I had live young pigs, seven mouths old ■ sullering from what, appeared to be severe colds. Their heads were swollen, their mouths open and their breathing thick and whistling. I had by me a packet of Sykes's French, which I regularly use for cows at calving time. 1 made a pailful of 'firm oatmeal gruel, put into it three large cupfuls of sugar, and half a packet of the Drench, and a good spoonful of dripping to make it rather greasy. This I fed them at six in the evening, and afterwards shut them in with a warm straw bed. In he morning they were considerably etter, and the following day nil light.; ;n fact, they have done well ever sine.'!. 1 generally gpt.

j Statistics publfuiiL*:! at Cardiff throw a remarkable light on the effects of the revival in UK' colliery districts of Glamorgan and Mon--1 mouthsihire dining Chris.Muas'tKle. On Hoximg Day the TnlT Vale and Rhymney Lines usually hive u numb, r of excursions into Cardiff from the U.kimorgan and West Monmouthshire mining "districts. In 100 ft something like 40,000 people, mo-st'ly colliers, visited Cardiff, and crowds of them became the worse for drink. Last lloxing Day, both of the 'I all Wik and Rhymney line, only half the [previous years numbers were carried to CardilT, and among tho:;e returning at night only one or two cases iof -drunkenness were noted. The num|ber of persons taken to the police stations for drunkenness showed a decrease of no less than 00 per tent, on the aiverage for Boxing Day for jthe past lew years. Oil ail hands jthis improvement in the public mor.ols of Western Wales was regarded as tho effect of the recent religious j evival in the ])rinci{)ality.—Home [Paper.
