NOTES.

We sincerely hope that the Herald is correct in asserting that “ a splendid specimen of the Californian salmon” has been caught in Timaru harbor, and that “ another got into the net a few minutes afterwaids, but escaped,” as, if so, the fact goes far to demonstrate that the work of acclimatising this splendid fish has been satisfactorily acccomplished. There have for years past been repeated endeavours on the part of the Acclimatisation Societies to stock the rivers of the colony with that most valuable of all fishes, the salmon, and only now and then have we heard of a solitary specimen of the true salmon being found as the result, although many acores of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of young fry have been liberated. Indeed, considerable sums of money have been expended in the endeavour, but if only success be achieved, what has been expended, even though it had been twenty times as much, would be a mere bagatelle to the results that may be looked for. For the matter is not by any means to be looked at as solely an angler’s question—that is to say as a means of providing splendid sport for the knights of the rod and reel—it is of the utmost importance from an economic point of view, and may mean an important addition to our food supply, and one day a large item in the list of our industries and exports. For although the Californian salmon is not the salmo salar —the salmon of English waters, of the Wye and the Severn, and of the rivers of Scotland— but what is known ichthyologically as salmo quinnat, yet it is, if we mistake not, the selfsame fish which, under the name of American or Californian salmon, forms so large an item of export from America to all countries of the world, and affords employment to thousands of hands in catching, can ning, and curing, and represents an annual trade extending to many millions of dollars. One swallow does not make a summer, and one, nay two salmon at Timrru may not mean that we are soon to catch our salmon by thousands. Yet the circumstance recorded gives room to hope that this pleasant result may not be far distant. But is the fish the veritable salmo quinnat ? We sincerely hope it is, but in several previous reported captures it has turned out upon due enquiry that different species of trout have been ipistaken for the king of fish, and it is to be hoped that the Timaru capture will be submitted to the verdict of cornpetent scientific authority, so that we may be assured that we are this time safe in congratulating our acclimatjsts upon the greatest achieve ment that have yet made.

THE RAILWAY RETURNS.

{N Z. Times.) Tho New Zealand railway revenue for the first 28 weeks of the current financial year was £501,493, as compared with £540,675 for the corresponding peri d of last year ; a decrease of over £39,01 0 ■>f this the wonting expenses absorbed 75 per cent, cr £380.446, as against 68 per cent, or £372 931 last yeir, an in crease of nearly £8 00. *he net profit is therefore less by £47,000, although the mileage is 1654 sa xg-mist 1496.

BART WHEAT.

The following report on a new vane'y of wheat is given in the South Australian Chronicle :—We have received from Mr G. A, Wilson, of a r markably flue sample of wheat; accompanied by :he following letter, which will no doubt be read with great interest by agrlonl torste ;— ‘ I forward you per train a sample of the Improved Bart wheat, grown at the farm attached to the Agri cultural College, near Fo-eworthy. The wheat is cultivated in Smth Africa, and the sample is taken from a plot of 17 acres (a 1 being of uniform appearance), which was planted on 26th April in drills without any nnnure, the quantity of seed used being half a bushel j;er acre. The sample is 5 feet 6 Inches high, very strong and healthy looking, with ears (now in flower) averaging 4 inc es, ex clusive of the beatd, Tit-' spec al pci t with this wheat well worthy of attention, is that it is sust proof, a fact which ought to bo brought prominently before our farmers ’

AN UNWELCOME ORNAMENT.

Nature occasionally indulges in curious freaks upon the human body and in frea- s which a e sometimes sad drawbacks to the personal appearance. " h t, for instance, can well be more disTessing for a comely matron of middle age to discover that horns similar to ram’s horns are growing upon her head, and te otdiged to allow them to grow until they reach a size which prevents h f hiding the deformi'y with any cap, ha-, or bonnet ? The lady thus afflicted is • f rench woman, and ■ er cu i us case h 0 been reported to the Academy of Mfri cine. tone had reached her fortieth year when the first hor - made | ts unwelc< appearance on her forehead. It wt I shortly followed by a second, which, however, fell off itself after attaining tl e length of twenty-four centimeters ; but the first remained, to the great inconveni ence of the poor woman, who was by it prevented from resting her head comfort ably upon a pillow. Ultimately a surgical operation was undergone, and tho ob jectionable ornament was removed. Tho patient recovered her health and peace of m nd, but not for long. Six months after the operation another horn began to grow precisely on the same spot, tho latest news tiven the Academy of Medicine concerning it being that it had reached the length of five centimeters, and bids fair to grow rapidly The phenom non it seems, is a rare one, but cases of tl • kind are not unheard of London Standard.

TOBACCO COLOUR IN ENGLAND.

A “London Cornsp indent” write*: — “ I have been down in Norfolk, where I have seen a carious crop growing —d growing well, too One knows it abroad —the large full leaves, the tall, graceful spike and the delioata bloom ; but h*re la England it has hitherto been confined to botanical gardens of to nsa for foliage purposes It is tho tobacco plant. lo Kent, also, it has been largely cultivated —of course in conformity wkb the reo-n t Government permission—and there, to , I hear, the crop is good and forward, Thia new harvest will bs cut in a ftyf days, and, I suppose, long before Christmas Englishmen will be smoking some genuine home-grown tobacco. To fastidious smekere tbe prospect will not be altogether a gratifying one. The English cigar is not p -polar. Bat this will bo a cigar produced uuder wholly different conditions. It may be bettor, or it may be worse. It certainty ought to be cheaper. The English cigar is made of leaves grown abroad and shipped over here, and then made up in London or Bristol. It is said that tho passage over tho sea ruins the fl vor. There is no reason why English-grown cLars should rot be just as good as German It is not, certainly, a v> ry high standard Perhaps the future of this industry may depend upon how the present crop is got in and treated, if we want to make this a success, and to create a golden pos i b lity fir the rlepreared fatmer, we must make our fi at atart a good one. Appar ently the raw material ia excellent. The manufacture must ba gO’d, too.” “ Gardening Illustrated ”■

Listen to your Wife.



The Manchester Guardian, June Bth, 1893 says ; - At one of the ‘•Win lews” Lookin; on the woodland ways ! Wi'h clumps of rhododendrons and great mast h of May blossoms ! M “ There was au interesting group.” It incited one who hfld been a Cotton spinner,” hut was now so Paralysed ! !! That he could only bear to lie in a reclining pusith/n This refers to my case. I was first attack d twelve years iuo with li I.ooonioter Ataxy” (A paralytic disease of nerve fibre rarely ever cured) and was for several years barely ab'e to get about. And for the last five years not able to atten l to my business, although Many things have been done for me. The last experiment being nerve stretching. Two years ago I was voted into the Horne for Incurables ! near Manchester, in May, 1882. I am no “ Advocate ” ; “ For anything in the shape of patent " Medicines ? And made many objections to my dear wife’s constant urging to try Hop Bitters, but finally to pacify her— Consented !! I had not quite finished the first bottle when I felt a change come over me. This was Saturday, November 3rd. On Sunday morning I felt so strong I said to my room companions, “ I was sure I could “ Walk !” So started across the floor and back I hardly knew how to contain myself. I was all over the house. I am gaining strength each day, and can walk quite safe without any “ Stick 1” Or Support. I am now at my own house, and hope soon to bo able to earn my own living again. I have been a member of the Manchester “Royal Exchange ” For nearly thirty years, and was most heartily congra'ulated on going in the room on Thursday last. Very gratefully yours, John Blackburn. Manchester, (Eng.) Deo. 34th, 1883. Two years later am perfectly well.



Prosecute the Swindlers!! If when you call for American Hop Bitters (tee green twig of I/ops on the white label and Dr Soule's name blown in the bottle), the vendor hands out anything but American Hop Bitters refuse It and shun the vendor as you would a viper; and if he has taken your money for anything else indict him for the fraud and sue him fordamages for the swindle, and we will pay you liberally for the convie- OD.
