"Yes," said a member, r'and there will have to be a better understanding about the carriage of goods, or there will he no exhibition. 1 don't think -there is* a single 'exhibitor at "the New Ply mouth exhibition who did hot have troubl* I with the llailway Department in regard to the return of his exhibits. No two officers in the department, iput the same construction on the regulations, from the general manager downwards," | Card'inal Aloran has; spoken out regarding the attitude o.' the Kou an Catholic Church towards so i tliMii. He made a pronouncement on the subject at a gathering of tin Ji-Nhs National Kotvsu*rs' IVnetit Society. at Sydney recently. In five course of his speech, the Cardinal poinUd out that while a certain section of the Labour party had chosen to designate themselves socialists, and had given expression to extreme views, it was not fair to fasten on the ( whole body a desire to achieve, romiinunist ic aims meant the upsett ing of ( the social order, lie regretted th.it the Labour party had come to be associated with the term roualism, which did not projwrly describe the I independent democra'; ic sent ijuent by ,which the. bulk of its members were influenced, and lie indicated that it (would be left to Itoinan Catholics to exercise their shrewd common sense as to the amount of support they .would give to. J'atliamenUiry Labour [representatives. Tn his opinion, there is not the slightest danger of the | Australian people being contaminate! by the extreme socialistic movement. | Although the prisoners Black and Boulton seemed to be thoroughly abandoned scoundrels (remarks tho Hawera Star) they had some good I parts in their composition, Thej pleaded guilty in the Magistrate's [Court on Monday to a succession of jburglaries but they exercised the j utmost vigilance in screening the ,girls <ireeks and (Jill, who wore in j their company. Throughout the trial [they wi'iv consistent, in their protests, and Boultou went so far as jto enter the witness box solelv to j exonerate "the girls." There was -a, j touch of humour in them, too. in a hamper that belonged to Gill, the | male prisoners ( u ho represented | themselves a* being "dealers in old [jewellery") had placed a small parcel which, upon bi-Ing asked, 'they said contained stulT for "cleaning up jewellery. The parcel contained dynamite, caps, and fuse ! When the .case was over the prisoners still insisted upon ihe innocence of the f girls. Boulum remarking : "We didn't tell them anything about it. I've had too much to do with women for that. I .(*. them know anything and jhey're bound to give you away." J his is the philosophy of one who has evidently not much to learn of ways that are crooked.

The following is taken from tlic Auckland Weekly News of the 18th Februury, 1904 : Settler, near Inglewood, Taranakj, writes : " In an isue of the News a little while back noticed incpiiries about sick l>igs, and thought I would lake the liberty f giving you my experience, which on can pass on to your readers if you choose. In the early spring I had five young pigs, seven months old suffering 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 IJrench, which I regularly use for cows at iilvifig lime. 1 made a pailful oI •arm oatmeal gruel, put into it three argc cupl'uls of sugar, a»d half a packet oi Ihe Jlrench, and a good gpponful of dripping tp make it rather greasy.
