On the charge of refusing l< > lea ™ > licuwd premises (Imperial I v, hen ordered la do so b V thc , : ;l first offender, who w a s nlso i.iuvictal 'or drunkenness. was lin«l| ji t, nt the l'olice Court on Saturday. As an object lesson in dairying Mr T. W. Welch has had on view (or two or three days a most interesting «x----hilu. of butter from various count.r'es. The samples were bought on tlu' open market in London, and uisplrycd by the National Dairy Association at its annual meeting held at Palmers ton North at show time. Tie samples comprise thc following m ikes Danish, Argentine, Victor i;.:> Siberian, New South Wales awl Q ;ccnsland. T!ic Danish and SilieiiiiM exhibits are in casks and the others in cubical boxes. In regalil to ■ the packing, however, none ot the boxes compare favourably in neatUess with the New Zealand oblong white pine box. The buttel Was TinUfttU early in March, so that none of it- is less than four or Ave months ol'.l, and a good test of its keeping qualities is given. The Danish butler, which is pasteurised, but not treated with preservatives, is considerably in advance over the rest, ji i s superior, contrary to what some n-ay suppose, to the new make oi ' ew Zcalsmd. This butter is excelint in texture, keeping qualities, .dour and flavour, also being very dry. Mr Welch, as a butter grader df experience, considers in regard to :\avour that it is by far the most rnportant quality. Danish comes ...isily first of the six samples, with . ictorian second, New South Wales third, and Argentine fourth. On joint's, Danish would, he states, be about five points above Victorian, six points anead of New South Wales, and nine points in advance of Arrcntine, with Queensland and Siberian last on thc list. Thc Argentine and Siberian butters are noticeably drier than thc Australian. Thc Argentine exhibit, has a lardy appearance, and with better colouring would be more popular on thc market. In Air Welch's opinion it. is excellent in regard to uniformity of colour and texture. Speaking generally, thc comparison seems to show that the New Zealand article is a littlo ahead of the Australian and much in advance of Argentine and Siberian, but still falls short of the admirable standard attained by Danish exporters. The exhibit attracted to Mr Welch's office, on Saturday a considerable number of those interested in the butter industry.

At Vie S.M. Court on Saturday, Robert White, driver of the coaih plying daily between Opunako and New Plymouth, was proceeded against by the Ik>rough Inspector on the charge of plying for hire in Urn borough without ft 1 Rinse. Jlr Quilliam (Govett and Quillium) Qppetred fur the Council, and Mr 'Hoy (I toy and Wilson) for the defence. The route and the picking up of pan eels in New Plymouth were admitted on behull of tine defendant. It was Contendiid iby counsel that passengers, or parcols were not both picked up and depositi*l within the borough, and that therefore the contract for plying was not completed ut thutown. boundary, and did not constitute "plying for hiiv" within the (li'jrough as trie information set out.

Special services were held at the Whiteley Church on .Sunday in connection with foreign mission work. The morning service was conducted by, the Rev. Buttle, who based his sermon on Psalm 126 and tl, and gave an effective discourse on Christian >vork and equipment, and the beiiefi ial result following upon sustained ciiorts in God's cause. Considerable interest attaches to the visit of the Rev. J. W. Burton, who is travelling New Zealand 0" behalf of foreign mission work, and his coworker, a Hindustani Catechist nam-, ed Daniel Nizam Ud.Din. The service [or young peo'de and others held in the Whiteley Hall in the afternoon attracted a large gathering. Both the missionaries gave addresses, that of Daniel being interpreted by Mr Burton. The service was most interesting and instructive. The church Was well filled in the evening. The nativt Catechist was the first speaker, fiiid dealt with the subject of sacriln.., comparing the Eastern beliefs with Clm'si'janity. The Rev. J. Burton look as his jpxt Romans 1 and 16 "For I am not ashamed of the Ci'i .nel of Christ ; for it is the, powet 01" God unto salvation to pvery one that bclicvcth." The preftclipr gave many striking illustrations drajpj) from the success of mission work amongst the Fijians and the Hindustani population ip India, and of (lie influence and power that Christianity had obtained. The public meeting to be held in the Whiteley Half this evening at 7.30 promises to be largely attended. The principal items will be addresses by the Rev. J. W. Burton and Daniel. Mr J.

; Among llic passengers liv the Ao- i tea which arrived from London and ; Capetown wett ial jeojile who had travelled third class. Ot this number !)1 came from England and 3u | came aboard it the South African > port. All except one or two came ' out independent of any assistance, and all, so a Post reporter learned on making inquiries, are sufficiently equipped with money to enable them |

:o begin their career in this country without any anxiety. Most of the English immigrants arc from Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire, and there are some also from Scotland, while some of them are merely on a pleasure trip, travelling third-class from motives of economy. The majority are tradespeople, who have decided that the depression at Home is serious enough to make a change of country desirable. There are grocers, clerks, engineers, carpenters, and various artisans amongst them, and only about two arc in quest of employment. There are several families and about a dozen single girls, most of whom ate coming to situations of one kind and another. They left the steamer with their belongings, and appeared to be a happy and contented crowd of people, apparently prosperous enough and of a good stamp.

The experiment of pensioning teachers in the public schools is about to be tried in New York City. A measure to that effect has been signed by the mayor of that city and forwarded to Albany for the Governor's signature. It provides for the assessment of 1 per cent, of the teachers' salaries for the benefit of the fund which had heretofore been largely maintained by lines on sick teachers disabled before having served the thirty years required by the old law, and raises the maximum pension of class teachers from £2OO to £3OO a year. The practical working of this arrangement will be Watched with considerable interest by the teaching profession throughout the Union.

Says an ExchangeA humorous touch in connection with the naturalisation as a Japanese of Lafcadie Hcarn, an American instructor in Japan, was the reduction of his pro- i "essional salary from 150 to 50 yen ! i month. As a foreigner he drew a arger salary than the native initructors, hut at the dinner in celejratiou of his change of nationality (lie chairman observed that now that Professor Hcarn had become one jf themselves the last insidious distinction would be removed by cutting down his salary. And the Am-erican-born professor tried to look as though lie enjoyed it. A new method of teaching the teachers was recently approved by ;hc Victorian Minister of Education. This is a scheme for instructing in evening classes Ihe pupil teachers employed in the schools of the metropolitan urea. Instead of these teachers receiving instruction at the end of the day's work from the staff leathers of the schools a I which they arc employed, as at present, they have been invited to attend at the Continuation School on two evenings I of the week and on Saturday mornings. It is considered that, as J the instruction will he'imparted by specialists in the various subjects, a higher state of efficiency will be attained, About 300 young teachers have signified their willingness to attend.

An extraordinary story is being told at Vienna about the Archduke Joseph. Last August hj» visited a fortune-teller named Alela, well Known in Buda-Pesth. The sibyl told him that the forthcoming year would ae a troublous one for him. He would render & wife a widow, and would rob two widows of their onlj , sons. The Archduke laughed, and told the story to his friends. Early in September, when Joseph August was motoring through the streets of thc Hungarian capital, he knocked down a laundrynian named Pletsch, who, after being operated on, died of his injuries. In February the unfortunate Archduke had yet another carriage accident. His coachman, through no fault of his own, ran over and killed a young artisan named Bauer, who attempted to dodge across the road under the horses' feet. Bauer proied to be the only son of a widow. After this Joseph August walked. At thc end of April the Archduke went for a motor ride with a friend named Von Klausenburg. On the return journey Von Klausenburg pleasantly asked his companion whether lie could care to change places with the chauffeur. "Dare I ? " exclaimed the Archduke. "Remember what that woman told me." With good-natured chaff, Von Klausenburg insisted. Thc Archduke steered the car towards home. When within a couple of miles of the city a child ran across the road directly in thc path of the automobile. Thc Archduke swerved aside, running inK a man who was hastening to thc little girl's assistance. This man died in the suburbs of Buda-Pesth in thc week. His name was Euler. He was thc only son of a widow.

Some, rather startling evidence was given before the Federal Tariff Commission in Sydney as to the system in vogue among Sydney importers oi placing inferior English cloths and flannels on the market in order to undercut colonial productions that take tli« fancy of the public. No sooner, it was stated, does a good line make its appearance from aij Australian mill than a sample is sent, to Yorkshire to be copied in shoddy. The imported article is always a clever imitation of the colonial one, so that the public can be readily deceived. A low price is quoted, and the local manufacturer is instantly smothered. The imported article, though cheap, is also nasty. A striking illustration of this was given by a witness with a full knowledge ol both local and imported cloths. In regard to trousers, he explained that one pair made of good colonial tweed would wear as long as three pairs oh imitation cloth. This information rather staggered the freetrade members of the Commission. "Would you," asked 011 cof these, "approve of legislation compelling manufacturers and sellers of goods to give a correct description of them?" "It certainly ought to be done with everything," replied the witness. "I would have, every piece of cloth stamped. The public should know what they arc buying. At present lhcy arc hoodwinked all the time "
