A late arrival from Scotland, John Spccr Angus, pleaded guilty at Auckland to live charges .of stealing. ami attempting to steal money |from poor boxes in St. Matthew's Church, St. Benedict's, Unitarian, ami Kpiphany churches. Three of the charges were attempts, and two were thefts, the amount obtained Ircinfi 17s. OhiefDetectivc Marsack said that during the last three or four weeks Utere had been continual thefts from the church boxes, which in some cases had been broken into, ami in others were unlocked. Recently the verger of St. Matthew's caught the man in the act of stealing from one 'of tin poor boxes. He had let the man go, but he was later arrested. From papers 011 the man he had evidently been out from Scotland about three months, and was consequently not known to the police. He had many keys in his possession when arrested. The accused drew the magistrate's attention to his maimed hand, which, he said, had prevented him from getting work. The magistrate said the theft was a very miserable and contemptible one. He sentenced tlitf accused to three months' imprisonment on each charge the sentences to run concurrently.

The Totara -district provides a convincing example of the benefits accruing to a locality from the introduction of tlie dairy industry. Three years ago the Taieri and Peninsula Company established a creamery atTotara, but during the first season tire supply of milk was only 100 gallons per day with but very few suppliers. At the end of three years however, the number of suppliers were upwards of forty, who were sending in every day 1200 gallons of milk, with prospects of a still further increase. As tangible evidence of what this means, it need only be stated that during last season, for a period extending over five or six months, the sum paid by the Company to suppfiers from the Totara district approximated £SOO per Week. K\en now, at a time when feed is much less plentiful than usual, the supply is Well maintained, and only some two or three settlers have been forced to discontinue.

The Ohio Experimental Station has worked out some very valuable conclusions on the. question of a more economic use of ensilage in place of grain feed. The following account of the experiment opens up a line of interesting inquiry in the mind of every dairyman who desires to makri milk at the least possible cost. Two ralions were fed to two lots oi cows. In one ration over 30 pdt cent, of the dry matter was derived from silage, and less than 18 per cent, from grain. In the other ration, over 37 per cent, of the d;y matter was from grain, no silage being fed. Five cows were 111 each lot, representing five different breeds, ami were fed two to lour months, five of the cows taking the test of the milk four mouths. Now for the lesnlts r—The cows fed on silage produce*! y«.7lb of milk and 5.081b butter fat per 100 ft of dry mailer. Cows fed grain ration produced 81.311) milk and 3.!)1b butter fat per 10"lb dry matter. Cost of feed per 1001b milk, 0.687 dollars With silage and 1.055 dollars' With grain. Cost trf feed per pound of butter fat', 13.1 c. with sijage and 22.1 c. with grain. Average 'net profit per cow per month over cost of feed. r. hf.l dollars with silage and 2.-163 ilullais with grain. 'lbis is a remarkable result, and should set dairymen to thinking Mr C. O. Williams, agritultuiisl of the station, wlu> eondueled this experiment, and prepared tin: bulletin, says, in concluding Ins summary :-"Tbese fads seem to justify the conclusion that silage can be made to take the place of a considerable portion of the grain feed.

Something very curious in the | shape of a lish can be seen at Mr ' Ivnowiis' hotel at the Breakwater.

The lisli came ashore yesterday ; it | is about 15 inches long, and is cov- | end with excrescences as nearly as possible like the propeller of a steamer. Two or three of the captains in port inspected the stranger, but were quite unable to identify it, as in fact tiicy had never seen anything like it before. It is certainly a curiosity in these parts.

If you suffer from Rheumatism, Gout, Gravel, Sciatica, or Lumbago, a fair trial will convince you that RHEUMO will cure these diseases. The pains of Rheumatism and kindred complaints arc produced by the i-ame cause—excess of uric acid in the blood. The pain may be alleviated by the use of plasters and liniments, but these can never touch the real cause of the disease, and can only give partial relief at best. RHEUMO neutralises and drives out the poisonous acid accumulations in the blood, and effects a speedy and permanent cure. The best proof of its merit is the fact that its sales are larger to-dp.y than ever before. A fair trial will convinop you of its marvellous power ovrt Rheumatism and kindred diseases.
