Tho primitive Christians interchanged kissing before receiving tho communion, aa a token of religious fellowship. An attompt was mado soma years ago at a certain place of worship in New York.to revive the practice, but owing to " modern degeneracy," or some other cause, the "kissing church "was far from being a moral and religious success. Scandal's envenomed tongue soon began to wag against the brothers ana sisters, and the experiment was given up.

According to MrT. Fleming, of Invarcargill, at the present moment tho mil. leis of the Colony, from Auckland to the Bluff, havo to deal with this difficulty—that "ifiit mills are producing 1000 tons of flour weekly in excess of requirements. I A committee has been appointed to deviso Borne equitable way of regulating the output. Scarcely a ton-is being exported at a paying price to millers. Tho Waipawa Mail says:-As an instance of colonial pluck, we mention thefact of a young man residing at Kaikora, who was present at the Masonic ball last night. Befc e arriving inWaipawahe hed tho misfortuno to part company with his horse, and sustained a dislocation of the right arm. Nothing daunted, however, he proceeded to the ball, and danced all night. Aftor tho ball was over ho interviewed Dr Godfray, who set tha injured limb. The apoctaole presented in Masterton on Sunday afternoon of two very tipsy men of tho Working class reeling along Queen-street, through the centro of the town, as children worel going to Sunday School, was disgusting and saddening, Thoso men wore so intoxicated that they could barely stagger along, and over and anon one would savo himself from falling by lunging aj»aimt his equally unstabio companion, Hotels, the law tells us, are closed on Sundays for the salo of liquor, except to" travellers." Pnßsibly these wero travellers—but we doubt it. They might even have laid in a stock of grog overnight-still we are scoptical. The fact remains that it is a deplorable condition of things when such degrading results are possible in connection'with the liquor traffic.

Visitors to Newport, the fashionable American wateiiute place, find amusement (says tho Daily Newß) in the active disputo that is being carried on between tho two millionaires John Jacob Aetor andW.K.Vanderbilt. The latter has built himself a white marble cottage he. ! twoen Bellvuo Avenue and tho Cliffs, his estate being bounded on the north by those of the two Astors. High and unsightly fences wero erected by Mr Vanderbilt'a orders all round his domain, hideous gates, backed with corrugated iron, being the only interruption, Though these interfered considerably with tho pleasant aspect from tho ABtor windows, no protest was made until Mr Yanderbiit proceeded to erect an artiGcial promoutory from the cliffs out into tho ocean, completely shutting out half tho superb view from their estates, The Yanderbiit workmen then curved the Astor walka seaward, passing under a tunnel through tho promontory. Active protest was thereupon made by Mr ABtor, who put up a rough board fence between the estates down the path to the cliffs. Mr Yanderbilt's men toro up this fence some three weeks ago, and moved it several feet itdand, Hearing of this, Mr Astor telegraphed that his men wero to restore it to its original position, and to Bee that it remained there Both proprietors have ignored the State law, which declares that all land within 30ft of high water belongs to the publio and is free to all.

A sensational incident happened at Canterbury (New South Wales) recently, when two mon attempted to break into the residonce of a Mrs Ewing, and were moat severely handled by the lady and her three dogs, Mrs Ewing's brother, who rebided at the house, had left home on tha same night at about half.past ten o'clock in his trap to drive the Eov. Mr Hay to his residence A few minutes after, Mrs Ewing saw two men walking up the garden path from the front gate. They stopped at ono of the glass doers leading from tho drawing, ■room to the garden and knocked. Mrs Ewing wont to tho door and aßked them what they wanted. Ono of them said that they had met with an accident, and had boen told to call at the house by Mr Brennan, whom they had met on the road. Mrs Ewing would not believe them, and told them to go away, The men became very abußive, and called on the lady to throw out some of her pictures. She rofused to do so, and stepped back a few yards from tho door, thinking that it was looked, buch was not tho case, and one of the men opened it and rushed in with a ahout. Mrs Ewing seized a poker from the fireplace, and Btruck the first man on the jaw, He fell seneeleßS on the floor, and three dogs rushed in, One bit him severely on the thigh, and the others leaped at tho second man, who was trying to drag his comrade away, Mrs Swing beat him with the poker, and the dogs bit him, but he stili managed to escape, carrying his mate, (\vho was unconscious) like a sack, Pieces of clothing were afterwards found covered with blood, and they have been handed to the police, who, it is expected, will have not muoh difficulty in finding out the culprits,—Nepean Times,

A book on etiquette, published in Texas gwes the following advice to society men :-' Gentlemen should go early to a party, ovon if thoy havo to go before supper and sit in the parlour all alone while the hostoss is dressing. If a man is late ho is taken round a circle of about forty people and introduced to.everyono of them, and thero is nothin? more awkward than a man when he tries to bow. Everyone in the room stops talking and stares at him, and if there are any six-teen-year-old girls present he can hear a suppressed giggle when ho is trying his best to be graceful. A man is never graceful except when he is Bawlng wood or hammering a nail, and society Bhould not expect him to bow like a woman who has spent years learning how to handle her feet and hands,"

The only true nay of preventing a single desire from absorbing our nature and ruining our usefulness is to bring others into constant play. A strange method of book-keeping was unearthed at the Penrith Police Court, N.S.W., recently. A plaintiff in a case who could neither read nor write exhibited a pocket book with lung strokes._ These signified a day's work, except in cases where a cross stroke was made. The aignifioation of the latter hieroglyphic was that half a day's work had boen accomplished.

White hiißbandsarofashionablo just at present among, the Indian maidens in tho State of Washington, and tho noble red man is the worst kind of a wallflower, much to his disgust. In one camp on the Grand Eonde iliver there are seventeen marriageable Indian girls, and thoy all want white raon for their husbands, and shun their would-bo lovers in the camp. The father of one of the girls makes an offer of two hundred head of good horses to the young white man who will marry his daughter. He must be respectable and not addicted to drink; such are the chief's conditions,

A flattering verdict,—Speaking of one of the most noted of colonial specialities, the press says:-' 'Sharland's faking Powder deserves more than a passing notica.for the "Moa" Brand Baking Powder Bnjoys a reputation second to none. From one end of New Zealand to the other, large orders are received for this popular brand, Even in the most out of tho way districts the caroful houße»wlfe, possessed with the laudable ambition to make her broad and her scones better than her neighbours', buys Sharland's Baking Powder, and triumphs over the few of her loss eensiblo sisters, who, from a mistaken senso of economy, buy apparently cheapor brands, The rooipp of a good Baking Powder is anything but a secret; but how very few manufacturers use, as Messrs Sharlani & Co. do, the beat only of. materials, carefully tested before mixture and exactly proportioned,' 1 Headers, who require an economical, satisfactory and healthful Baking Powder, cannot do better than use the " Moa" brand.—Aim
