Anglers who visit our waters regularly, about the sport they have 'been enjoying, year after year, are- very enthusiastic.

Says Melbourne Table Talk: Dr. Gilruth, the "strong man of the North," is coining down to town to discuss with the political heads the future' of the Northern Territory. Taking a world-wide survey, it would be difficult to find a country with so much 'future" or a future so much discussed, Gilruth is a practical man, but so enormous are the difficulties of his task that some of his correspondence has revealed an enxiety of mind that needs allaying. After all. he is as yet but a voice crying in the wilderness, and his capacity may not be judged fairly for five or six years to come.

"I intend it to be a surprise," she said, when aslced; "but suffice it to say that my jewellers have been working on the surprise for a number of days, and that it will be. a decided shock."

From the Canadian News —the comparatively new Canadian paper published in London—it is gathered that the life of an apple tree in Xova Scotia is from sixty to over one hundred years—a great advantage over more trying climates, where from twenty to thirty years are all that can be counted upon. Thus in 'Nova Scotia, where a man has- once established ;;n orchard, he is sure of an income from it, not only through his own lifetime, but for the next generation. 'lndeed, while a hundred years may be given as the probable limit of an orchard's life, there are trees in the Annapolis Valley known to have been planted by the French, and which cannot therefore, be less than 150 or 200 years old, but are still vigorous.

A 'dramatic meeting occurred on board the P.MX Tainui when the vessel was at Plymouth on February Ist, and the result was that an elopement to Xew Zealand was frustrated, and the parties concerned returned to their homes.

A man named Hunt had disappeared from the district about the same time. Too late to catch the Tainui at London the husband took train in Plymouth, and there invited the aid of the' local police.

When the husband and police officers appeared there was a scene, and Captain Moffatt, of the Tainui. was called in. and as far as the ship was concerned the incident ended there, the parties being landed at Plymouth, and the Tainui proceeded on her journey.
