A Napier shopkeeper advertised the other day for a show woman, and had a large number of applications from young ladif.B. It turned out, however*, that he wanted a char-woman, the telephone being blamed for the mistake that occurred in the advertisement.

Mr Wm. Lundgvist, of Carterton, had his leg broken yesterday by a kick from his horse.

Mr M. Caselberg informs us that during his recent trip to Europe he made himself thoroughlyacquahited with both the theory and practice of cooperative trade, and that it is his intention to establish a company on similatlinea in this district. Be has decided to convert his stores at Masterton and Greytown.early in the coming year,mto a farmer's co-oparative sooiety, whioh will be on a scale equal to similar enterprises in Canterbury. This announcement is of special importance, as Mr Caselberg is possibly tho oldest, largest, and most successful trader in the Wairarapa, and it will therefore receive on all sides the careful consideration which it demands.

A cricket matoh was played on the CSreytown Recreation Eeservt last Satur day, between tbe first teams of Mararawa and Groytown, which resulted in a win for the latter team by 68 runs on the first innings.

Tbe .Nelson Mail has been shown by a country settler the growth of one Beed ot narley, which has sent up 35 stalks, all of them being of average strength and height. This, the Mail understands, id the result of thin sowing. Their informant states that this is by no means an exceptional bunoh, the crop from which the sample was taken supplying numberless other examples of the proIdleness of individual seeds.

The Akaroa Mail reports a very narrow escape from poisoning. Mr Brown, of Grehan Valley, cultivated a New Zealand Datura, commonly known as the Lebon's Bay lily, and he and his wife ate it as spinach. The result waß serious illness, from which, however, both are recovering. The datura is the plant known as the trinohum, which is smoked for asthma, and is a comparatively virulent poison, rendering those taking it insensible in a very short space of time, and in smaller doses producing temporary insanity.

The "dairy is, perhaps, the largest round about, in fact it resembles a small dairy factory, the churning being all done by steam. At the present time there am 75 cows being milked.— Advocate.

The Manawatu Herald says:—A draper who opened less than three weeks ago, and who was lavish with 'dodgers ' and covered his shop with bills, closed down and left this week, business being dull. He neglected to use the columns ot this paper, and has followed those who lave so endeavoured to run a lone hand. Whatever opinion may be held of a paper it is wisest to advertise in it. The Westport News says the Premier has elected to be the sotvant of the Trades Unions, and he must dano to their piping. I The following funny paragraph is [from the Wanganui Chronicle:—The Premier will assuredly never die of suffocation, or he would long ere this haye been choked in endeavouring to swallow the rancid butter wrapped up in his own paper. But, although his swallow may be sufficiently , largo to permit of his partaking with perfect safety of that which would kill almost any other man, yet is he not exempt from deadly danger in other respects. I Strangulation—journalistiostrangulation that is—is a peril of which he has need to stand in hourly dread. ii J.
