The Taranaki Poultry Society has ilited the older for the monster ■ake, to be sold at the Show on the 38th and 29th July, with Mr E. Jefries, baker, and it will be on view n about a fortnight's fime in his window. The Society is arranging to iave the cake filled with coins, which will be specially sterilised before being mixed with the cake. Orders for dices of the cake can be left with Mr JelTnes. The tickets in connection with Ihe Art Union are going well, ind considering the liberal prizes giv•n the public should not miss an opnortunity of taking a ticket. The Irawing will take place on the seond night of the Show. The Town Clerk of Wellington, in his annual report, strongly urges upon the Council consideration of the establishment ol a municipal laundry. He says In this city the advantages of such an establishment would be of special value to a large number of citizens, and might be, at a small charge, made self-supportiog. Owing to the lack of yard-room in Wellington, consequent upon the high land values, this most important part of the domestic economy is lamentably short of requirements, rendering washing day -a troublesome one to many homes. The institution of the municipal laundry in London and other large cities lias been an I unqualified boon, and under proper management would confer a similar [advantage in Wellington. Under modern methods, the fortnightly washing of an ordinary household can be completed and returned within a few hours, without inconvenience to the housewife, obviating entirely the drudgery and worry consequent where with no room to spare, children require attention, and husbands their mid-day meal.

The Timarn Herald stales that three young men who were driving lo Albury on Friday evening to attend the fust dance in the new public hall, on reaching the Tengawai found it unfordable. The only bridge being a narrow stock bridge, ihey could not ride over that. Tlier Were not to be baulked howewr, The horse was taken out of the gig, and the vehicle was lifted on to (he side rails and slid along to the oilier side, and Ihe home led over. The stock bridge did not span the whole if the (loud stream and the youna fellows had to wade some way up to tUcir knees to reach dry land. "it fca* come to my ears," said the member fur (ieraldine, Mr Flatman, in moving Hp- Address-in-rcply, "that we are' lo have a very stormy session. I liopc (hat is not (he case, because wilh a storm amongst ourselves we are neglecting our consti'.'iencies." He frit, from (lie hearty way members bad met this session, tha( Ihey were not going to have a storm, awl lie advised his Opposition friends to joiii with' the Government members in workiit;-' , for the good of the people.

A recent despatch /row llie (Joicni- | or to the Secretary of .State for the Colonies states L—" t have the hon- ' our to inform you that my Government desire me to communicate with i yon concerning the disposal U the New Zealand Government ot diicarded 15-pr. b.l. mark iv. guns. <t is computed that fourteen guns of,lhe above mentioned description will be required to complete the re-aima-nieiit of field batteries in New Zealand. As these guns are lieing replaced in England by others of au entirely different pattern, my Ministers think that they w.m1.l pfot-aniy be practically useless to the Home Government, and suggest that the latter might possibly see fit to let the colony have the gins at a minted price, or ev?n m no, iiial charge."

Jit. s rather interesting to learn that :me ot the representatives of the Institute has perfected what is )lrjlieved to be the only known cure for : sea sickness, and from tha testimonials tirtat have been shown to us we have no hesitation whatever in stating that the reinody is absolutely successful and unfailing in its tosuits. We understand that this remedy is to be brought prominently belora the world by a small company which is fully convinced of the genuineness at the cure for tho almost universal malady, of sea sickness.

The Nelson District Health Officer nas issued the following circular to the local bakers "Owing to complaints having been lodged at the I'ublic Health Oliice, Nelson, about bakers leaving htead at. vanuus nouses and taking the same back again simply because the customer took 100 much (in some cases the houses being infected with diseases), 1 herewith ask that such actions .should cease hy one and all bakers, and once bakers' goods are leit uii liou.su premises they should not be taken back again. Any person so doing, especially in the case of an infected house, would render the goods unfit for human consumption, and in ease of sale would be liable to a penalty not exceeding .620." From inquiries made it was learnt that some bakers, but not all, have been persuaded to exchange loaves of bread after they have been in a house for twenty-four hours, and that such bread has been sold to other customers. In some cases bread so exchanged lias remained in premises where persons have been suflering from infectious diseases and other complaints of a doubtful nature, and it stands to reason that in. such cases there is danger of diseases being spread abroad.

If yon suiter from (tout, (irav«l, Sciaticu, or Lumbago, a fair trial will convince you that UllEl'MO will cure these diseases. The paijis of liehiunatism and kindred complaints are produced by llw siiiue Cans l .—I'XCtSs of uric aeid in 'lie blood. The pain may be alleviated by tho use of plasters and liniments, but these can never touch the real cause of the disease, and can only pive purtijil relief at best. IUIICI'MO neutralises and drives out ihe poisonous aeid accumulations in fhe blood, and elfeets a speedy a/nd permanent cure. The best proof of its merit, is the fact that its sales are larger to-day than ever before. A fair trial will convince you of its marvellous power over liehumatism and kindred diseases.
