A lady euitor iu lowa, tailing in a contest lor the comity printing, has taken advantage of leap year and advertised in lur paper for a good printerhusband, " who can do the lighting and swearing for as.'' A bachelor editor has written accepting the proposal. In his paper he states his qualifications a* i printer. *'As to our lighting qualities (he suvs). snilice to say we come from a family that kills; on the swearing proposition, our press feeder says that we would be there with the goods, as we swear iu seven different languages at once when things »o wrong on press night." It is understood that a wedding will shortly take place. A Greymoutli correspondent writes:

"Though most ot the I nions on the West Coast are assisting the lllackhall -tviker- financially, the opposition !•» this course of iH'tion ha-p been strong, and in M>veral instances members have declared their intention .of not paying the levy, but a surprising situation has arisen. The Attorney-General has declared that L'nion.s cannot be prosecuted for aiding and abetting a strike. If this is correct, say some Unionists, the special levy to assist the strikers will be recoverable in the law courts by the same procedure as ordinary levies ean now be collected. Thus, if the AttorneyGeneral's contention is correct, the law not only does not prevent strikes, but would be available, to compel member-* of I'ninn* to pay a levy intended to keep a strike going." it will lie comforting to many lazy people to know that the shock of immediate rising in the morning may produce insanity, and that wakeful ro*t in lied is necessiry for one's he;ill.h before getting up. ThU great truth ha* long been recognised by thousands of people, but it remains to i)r. Savary. the scientist, to give it *eientilic corroboration. Th,» members of the French Academy ot Sciences nearly smiled when Dr. Savary warned them of the grave dangers arising from immediate getting up. The strenuous business man win

is called at an early hour, and bolts from his bed to his bath as soon as he opens his eyes, renders himself liable to a number of ailments, including madness. According to Dr. Savarv, it is absolutely necessary for everyone to rest in bed for at least twenty minutes after being called before getting up.

I lie Sydney correspondent of the Xew Zealand lierald writes, under date April "Xew Zealandcrs who were foitunatc enough to be present al the liutt-Hunitord concert in the Sydney lown 1 fall a tew night* ago were moved with the spirit of patriotism at the reception given to the music of their national composer, .Mr. Alfred Hill. As soon as the opening bars of the I'oi Song were played the audience, who had been made familiar with it at a previous performance, showed their approval in a very omphalic manner, and were equally demonstrative during the interlude between the two verses, and though the song was given as an euj ' ore number it was redemanded, and the second time was received with eotial enthusiasm. Mr. ISumford is speculalltiji as to how this song will be reeeived at Hume, lor it i- <|iii( t . different Iroin the usual run of songs, and there, fore oil' the beaten track, lis great success in Sydney i>, „„ ilonbl,"tlle lilsl of a SUeeessii•!] of triumphs.''
