LOCAL AND GENERAL.

Owing to the confirmation service at St. Mary's on Sunday there will be no Sunday school. Many of the halyards on the flagpoles in the town will need attention before Coronation Day, for all available bunting will need to be flown on that day. The winter show annexe to the Drill Hall, covering in Kawau street, was completed yesterday. The area under cover in this annexe is about half an

acre. Farmers of Tarata and Kaimata, with additjona from Lcpperton and other districts, are to pay a visit to the Moumahaki State Farm on June 9th, leaving by the express train. The Taranaki County Council's next monthly meeting will be held on Wednesday next, Jun« 7, instead of Monday, sth inst., owing to the latter date being observed as a holiday. At last night's meeting Coronation Memorial Committee Mr. Corkill made a suggestion to appoint an "oratory committee," to keep the long-winded orators out of the programme at the unfurling of the flag. ■ Mr. F. A. Bremer, of Okaiawa, left Wellington on Wednesday for Australia, taking with him aix Clydesdale stallions from his well-known stud. Amongst the animals shipped is the champion horse Lord Erskine. Amongst the others are three and four-year colts by this celebrated sire. The habit of leaving horses and carts unattended in the streets is a very dangerous one, and drivers offending in this way should be severely punished when detected. A pair of horses in a heavilyladen waggon, if allowed to escape from control in one of the main streets on a busy day, might cause verjr serious injury to persons and property.

The following team will play for Waireka against Druids at the Fire Brigade station on Tuesday at 7.3o:—Cribbagc: H. N. Goldwater, A. Goldwater, F. Brown, R. Home, F. Newman, T. Petty, J. D. Sole, G. Bratnd, F. Evetts, J. F. Hooker; emergency, F. C. Jury. Euchre: A. Hill, S. Russell, J. Woods, H. Eva, A. Murphy, B. Stannering, A. Kivell, E. Humphries, D. Reardon, R. H. Sole; emergency, Koti. The toll-gate keeper at Waihi lias claimed from the Clifton County Council double pay for Good Friday and Easter Monday. The chairman at yesterday's meeting said he would oppose payment of the claim, and pointed out that the man had recently had a fortnight off on full pay. If the Council recognised the claim it would soon have to pay for Labor Day, Coronation Day, and all sorts of holidays. The other members were of the same opinion, being inclined to treat the matter with levity. The surfacemen, it was pointed out, were paid double rates for certain specified holidays.

"I believe New Zealand offers greater opportunities than Canada does," remarked Mrs. Helen Barton the other day, in speaking of emigration from Glasgow and other Scottish cities (says the Auckland Herald). "A great deal of ignorance prevails in Scotland regarding New Zealand and Australia, and I believe that many people who have gone from Scotland to Canada would have succeeded more readily in these beautiful countries. I have learnt a great deal about Australia, and I hope to learn much of New Zealand, so that when I return to Glasgow I shall be able to tell my people something about the wonderful opportunities Australia and New Zealand offer."

A protest against the use of protruding hatpins has been raised in Christchurch. A tramway conductor told a Press reporter recently that ladies travel-' ling on the Christchurch cars were frequently noticed to have unprotected hatpins protruding from their hats, and that the practice of using such pins was especially dangerous when there was an extra crush on tho cars. The conductor said he noticed a young girl the other day with as many as three long pins sticking out of her hat. Even when girls were wearing small hats they apparently used the same long hutpins that they were accustomed to use to keep on the big hats that -were so fashionable a short time ago. An awkward mishap occurred at the Blulf upon the trawler Nilo during repairing operations to her boilers. The occurrence indicated the fact that engineers are apt to expand just as much tvhen heated as the baser metals which they manipulate. An engineer had entered the boiler man-hole to repair a bolt, and made his entry while the receptacle was warm, with the result that the heat soon acted upon him, making him expand. He was in consequence unable to get out at the conclusion of his work. Me made a violent endeavor to wriggle out, but was unsuccessful, and he had to strip and be hosed with cold water before he was in a fit state to emerge at the aperture. A similar instance occurred a short time ago at the Ocean Beach freezing wohks, when a man expanded -o much that he got stuck in the man-hole, and had to remain in that awkward predicament ;for some considerable time.

The services in the Whiteley Memorial Church to-morrow will be conducted by the minister, the Rev. J. W. Burton. The subject of the morning sermon will be, "The Dangers of Prosperity," and in the evening Mr. Burton will preach on "The Cross as an Interpretation of Life."—Advt. When you get Roslyn you get the best in all-wool blankets, rugs,, tweeds, Worsteds, hosiery, unshrinkable flannel and underwear, "Delta" finish; so when purchasing woollen goods always say, "Roslyn, please."—Advt. THE ONE THING NEEDED. Without fire, without heat! Without digested food, no''strength! That's Nature's law. and it serves everbody alike. Digested food makes us strong, vigorous and healthy. Undigested food makes us weak and ill. Dyspeptics are always weak and ailing. All they need to make tlieni strong and welt is the power to digest food, and that is just what Elisor's Tamer Juice gives. It helps the stomach, liver and kidneys to do their work properly. That is all, but it is enough! Mrs. W. Johnston, of Palmerston, says:—"l turned, as I should have done long before, to Dr. Ensor's Tamer Juice, and a few bottle soon restored mo to health." And Mr. William Johnston, her husband, says:—"l had for some time been suffering from a feeling of depression, loss of appetite, etc. I grew very thin and lost weight. Then I tried Ensor's Tamer Juice. Since then I feel a different person.
