In the District Court, on' Wednesday an applicant for discharge' from bankruptcy, said ho had a "growing family" to which His Honor replied that many of his creditors probably had the same, and. tho'mate appeared rather onesided as applicant, during his two years of insolvency, had not paid a single penny to his creditors'. .''"'. A meeting of Directors of tho Wairarapa Caledonian Society, is to be bold on Wednesday Oct, 3rd at the Masterton Club Hotel. The Education Board decided not to grant Mr A.- W.

Messrs Kinscy & Co., the well-known photographers of "Wellington, have just executed a very artistic shield of port- • raits of tho members of the Legislative Council, The shield now ornaments the ! main lobby of the Parliament Buildings ( and is very much admired. This firm , also oxeoutcd recently a presentation portrait of Mr John Duncan, tho late , captain of the Wellington Naval ; Aitillery Volunteers whiehis a splendid work of nit. The same firm has also i made a shield of photos of the Members f of the Houso ofEcpreseiitntives. The likenesses are excellent, and cuhanco tho high reputation of the photographers, I A Wellington resident recently got no • less thau fifty-five offers of, board and lodging in reply to one advertisement in | a city paper. The terms were from 16s per week (which included washing) up- , mils. This wholesale rosponso is , perhaps more indicative of high rents and of tho need of a lodgor or two to ! eke out expenses than of any particular period of depression, although, for that . matter, times aro bad enough, as every ' one knows. , New signalling arraugcmciits arc being , made at the Wellington railway station ■ and in a-few weeks time the "block • system" will be in operation between :• that terminus and Lower Hutt. It will • add safety and make the railway traffic • much easier to conduct during the busy • holiday season aud on Haee.days and > Show days. The section of Hue extending from Upper Hutt to Cross' Creek has, of course, been worked by the block system for somo years past, A cabinet-maker at the PotoneEail- ■ way Workshops is making a table two feet in diameter, which is already inlaid with 35,033 pieces of wood, Ho has been t, at work at it twelve years already, and it is still unfinished. The design is geometrical. In this connection we might , mention that one of the finest things we have ever seen in this way is a table top t now on view in Kobu's window, Lamb- ; ton Quay, Wellington, It presents the appearance of an cxcellentoil painting of a Maori pah, and the shades of colour t arc most artistic in every respect, This |. picturesque effect is produced solely by , inlaid wood, aud by their natural tints ' t alone,'not an atom of ovtifical coloring J being used in the whole work, ' Tho re- ■ suit is a marvel o£ skill [ The new first-class carriages which l are to run on the Wairarapa lino arc most luxuriantly appointed vehicles, . and in superseding the" bone-shakers" 1 which have been so long an infliction ■ oil our district railway, they should i prove very soothing and satisfactory, i Each car is suspended on easy-muning i bogie undergear, mid is divided into two j sections. Atone end is a long saloon, j with central passage, having single easy , chairs on ono sido and double easy chairs on the otl|or, Next, in a central i position comes a lavatory,.access to which can bo had with absolute privacy. » Past the lavatory and at the other end , of the carriage are thee small cross- . seated _ compartments, each of which ! holds six- people, and entrance to wliicli is gained from a gallery running 1 along the sido of tho vehicle. ' It is this balcony, with its guard rail of 1 wire netting, which has given rise to tho 1 appellation "bird-cage car." The lounge i scats aro handsomely upholstered m ; real morocco leather, and in addition to the ordinary fittings there is a handy i and-pretty little inlaid flap table bracketed to each inner door, This can be used for refreshments or cards. The new carriages have elevated skylight ■ 1 roofs, and will be lit with suspended kerosene a great improvement on the dim and dismal colza oil atrocities at present in use. A filter, with an everlasting supply of fresh water, is one of the minor adjuncts of tho cars, but the beverage it dispenses is unfortunately not-a popular one with a considerable section of tho travelling public hailing from tho Wairarapa. Tho total cost of each of these bird-cage carriages is over £6OO, and the first one is expected to be running in a week's time.
