Condolences to the relatives of Mr. Cornelius O’Connell, who died at Lower Hutt this last week.' : Small boys and girls are beginning to wonder why they are being restricted from their V summer pleasures. Heard one yesterday explaining it to another —“It’s this ‘infan palasis.’ You got to wear a hat, an’ you got to wear shoes. You can ketch it in the head or in the feet.” It is saddening the summer here, and mothers are guarding their ' little broods from the scourge.

O’Shaughnessy, Ellesmere, Canterbury, Ids; Mr. F. Fanning, £2 2s; Mr. M. Crombio, £1 Is. On the counter at the Catholic Supplies is a modest little box —a mite-box for contributions to the Far East fund. The Chinese Mission is an object that appeals to all, and the little box that is there is emptied when it contains a pound. This week a grateful letter has reached the Supplies from Father Hayes, the Head of the Mission in Australia. Father Hayes was here for the jubilee, and during his short stay made many friends. He thanks the Supplies for forward- : ing the contributions, and assures the donors of remembrances in the Masses offered by the Missioners. Father Hayes and the staff at Mentone are to be congratulated oh the beautiful calendar produced by them yearly. It ’ is an artistic production and much valued on this side.
