WONDERING.

"Wonder if many people know that dear old Dr. Johnson said that "all wonder is the effect of novelty upon ignorance.

Wonder if many people will therefore set me down as ignorant ; hope so.

Wonder when " The Honorable" John intends migrating southwards; the climate of Wellington is generally supposed to be cooler than this, so he can't be afraid that he may perhaps find it too hot for him

"Wonder why all those charming black eyed girls I saw at the conversazione, at Cambridge on Tuesday evening, are still "maidens fair to see, the pearls of minstrelsy."

Wonder if most people will recognise the above quotation as being from "H.M.S. Pinafore."

Wonder, by- the bye, if the Hamilton Choral Society's will bring out Pinafore.

Wonder if they remember that they must first obtain permission from the immortal Gillon, the Dramatic Authors Society's Agent.

Wonder if a gentleman, not a hundred miles from Te Awamutu, is still placidly sunning himself.

Wonder if friends of dumb animals are keeping an eye on the Kihikihi cutting contract.

Wonder how much of the square gin generally sold in Waikato it would take to kill a man.

Wonder how the occupants of the upstairs offices in the Waikato Timk.s building like the incipient " cesspool."

Wonder if the noble savage heeds the notice on the CAmbridge Public Hall, enjoining him not to write on or deface the walls.

Wonder how long the " land sharks " will continue to prowl about Cambridge.

"Wonder what the noble savage does with his money ; seeing that he spends very little in Cambridge.

Wonder *how the storekeepers like it.

Wonder if St. Andrew's Church, Cambridge, in futuro will be anything like St. Audrey's Church, Cambridge, in photo.

Wonder if anybody will see the joke.

Wonder how many people have read so far.
