tho Waiurapa representatives on Monday afternoon, Tho Maoris have beaten all tho best teams in England and lmvo started well in New Zealand by winning all tho games they have so far played, and they are so well up in tho science ol the game that, even though our boys got a thrashing at their hands, tho Maoris will no doubt ?ive a good oxpusition of tootba'l, Our boys on Saturday last boat tho best team tho Empire City could select from their hundreds of players, and after the trial match to-day tho team will be even stronger than tho one which made such a gallant fight against' tho Wellington incn, and tT|e Natives will have no easy task to seouro a victory on Monday next, The game will be played on tho Park Oval and the ground being fenced off will enablo evoryono to witness it in comfort.

Some of the stories which "gothe routids" aro pooil enough to be true, it they are not. One is current illustrating how poipletely Dean had hoqdwiuked the Thames Borough Council, in order how implicit was their trust in him. and how unscrupulous was his conduct in stealing tho money entrusted to him. Some time since tho Thames Borough Council, in order to recognise the zeal ofDoan in the discharge of his duties, and the integrity of his dealings with all moneys entrusted to him, determined to voto him a bonus of £75 abovo and beyond bis salary. It could not have been for the sake of the money that he got tho vote passed, because it that had been all, he could easily,. for aught that the Councillors knew, simply put the money in his pocket without a voto. But tho best of the joke is that the Auditor has discovered that just at the time when the councillors passed a vote to give liim t]|e substantial b'jnus of L 72, lie made onopf the biggest l ■ steals 1 ' from the iiorougii funds that lie had perpetrated during the two years through which the investigation extends. The Otago Daily Times reports that Mr Stratford, Ml; in dismissing a charge of assault against Francis Qolding Head master ot Enfield school, said the duty of tho parents in the correction of thoir children wascast upon the teachers, and he felt that tho impudenco and larrikinism of tho boys nowadays ro> quired a check, and in the present case he could not sco that the master was in aiiy ffa'y to htymo, Ho was rather to bo encouraged in the action he had taken, No complaint had been made to the proper authorities, and ho cotisiderd the master had been badly treated. The case would be dismissal. Defendant was nllpwecl £1 la expenses. From tho evidence it appeared that Mr Golding had used the taivse to punish a boy mimed Georgo Oormack for not knowing his geography losson,

Tho fear of apparent doalh being mistaken for tho genuine article has inspired the most elaborate preparations against tho possiblity of such an event. Prizes have been offered for tho discovery of signs which can be implicitly trusted to establish the fact that death has takon place. Elaborate contrivances have been devised to show by the ringing of bells, tho breaking of an electric circuit, that some movement has been made by the supposed dead body, The keeping of the dead in situations whore they can be observed until the beginning of putrofraction; tho testing of tho muscles by olectricty, from time to time, to show the presenco or absence of contractibility the' tjemg of a ligature around a linger so tightly as to interforo with the return of blood through the veins while the arteries are unobstructed, have all been suggested, The two methods last named are. tho most trustworthy, and may bo relied upon to tell the truth.
