FRESH DISCOVERIES AT POMPRII

The excavations that are being carried forward at Pompeii are giving most In teresting results. Iv tbe beginning of the month a wooden case was dug up, con taining a oomplete set of surgical instru ments, many cf which are similar to those Mcd m the present day. A few days later four beautiful silver urns of consi derable height were found, together with fonr smaller cups, eight open vases, four dishes ornamented with foliage and the figures of animalß, and a beautiful statue of Jupiter seated on his throne. Besides these silver object a several gold orna ments were also found, _uch as earrings and rings* The excavations aro being rapidly pushed forward.

A PIANO MUFFLER

The "Behv Piano Mtfil-r" Is the latest Yankee idea. The great advantage of this patent is that It affords a means of doing away m*h a universal nuisance — namely, the annoyance whioh all suffer from who have to listen to continuous piano practice. The "M.fflar," aptly named, io • very simple contrivance, and consists merely of a atrip of felt being thrown against the strings by pulling out • small knob at the right hand ef the keyboard. In many European oltles legal Measures have been proposed to restrict to aome extent piano praotice, and It has remained for a firm of Amerioan piano forte makers to bring forward a practloal remedy for the evil. The " Muffler " hia an advantage over the dumb pianos, as the person playing on an Instrument with It attached, la able personally to hear the ■oond of tbe notes wlthoat ln the least disturbing any other Inmate of tbe house. It alao prevents hammerfelt from being worn too much, and Is, therefore, m this rfcspeot alone, a great saving to the lait-ument.

STRAME CASE OF WIFE DESERTION

An inoident of an extraordinary eharaoter has just come nnder the notice ef the Cheshire magistrates. At Stock* port a summons h.s been taken out againat • man, named Johnson, for deserting hia tvife 27 yeara back. The wife entered the box and stated that she married the defendant 30 years back. For aome anexplained cause he deserted her immediately after their first child, a girl, waa born and for 27 yeara he had left her to maintain herself. She could glean no tidings about him, and she had, indeed, long aince given him up for dead. When attending the funeral of a relative at Marple, Cheshire, the other day, she heard that her long-lo.t husband waa living at Stookport with another woman, by whom hs had several ohildren. She made . enquiries and found that lt waa true and at onoe procured a summons for maintenance. In Court Johnson was Introduced to hia daughter 26 years of age, whom ho had never seen aince ahe waa an infant. He admitted the offence, and the magistrates ordered bim to pay 10a weekly towards his wife's maintenance.

BUTTER FOR THE LONDON MARKET.

In these days of low values for wheat, barley, and otber cereals, farmers will be glad to learn that there is a good opening m the London market for butter. We learn from the " Sydney Mail " that m the first half of the year the Fresh Food and Ice Company being apprehensive that the supply of butter consequent upon the good season would be much m excess of the local demand, determined to send some butter to the care of their agents, Messrs Mort and Co. Accordingly, m June last, eight of Pond's enamelled boxes, each of which held half a hundred weight of butter, made at the Pioneer Factory, Kiama, were placed m the cold chamber of the Orient steamer Liguria. The principal object m shipping m June was to have the butter airive m London m the hot season, so that the keeping quality of the product should be properly tested. The butter arrived m excellent condition, and the Company have now, under date August . 19, the account sales and the following comments from their agents : — " The butter ex Liguria has turned out very well, and has been fortunate enough to oenefit m the rise of ios per cwt., which has recently taken place m con sequence of the drought. The differ ence m price between summer and winter usually ranges from ios to" 12s per cwt, so that, if you elect to ship the stock you have on hand, you can count upon some ios over the prices now obtained, which were — 2 packages, 108s; 2, ioGs; 4, 100s per cwt., ie spectively. You will observe by the account sales herein that the net landing weight shows iolb loss. In explanation, it is asserted the wood ab sorbs the brine, and accounts for the deficiency of a little over _lb per case, Mark the packages of future shipments with letters or numbers, and do not in dicate the source of supply. Circular packages, although ordinarily used, are not tbe best for stowage. We think you can do no better than with the excellent square boxes such as this sample came m. The first two cases, sold at 108-, contained excellent butter, j .as sweet and sound as possible. The cheapest line was m equally good con dition, but the flavor was .urnippy, indicating a different feed. Our experts are very emphatic that the butter if landed m same condition m the winter, will have a splendid result. The butter is good, sound, and well-made." Our -. contemporary goes on to observe that m London on the 15th of August the highest quotations for imported butter wsre :— Normandy, 1263 to 1325; Dutch, 1 1 6s to 1 20s. • , This information should, we think, stimulate our farmers to give more ,' attention- to the dairy. There is no reason that we can see why New • Zealand farmers, with thelatest improved appliances m the shape of cream separators and butter-workers, should not be able to turn out as good an article as that produced m Normandy, which caps the market. In fact, there is reason to believe that it would prove . superior to that imported thence about '■* the time our product would arrive, for instead of being fed, as the Normandy cows would be at the time, on turnips 1 and other roots, our cows would be luxuriating m the sweetest and most succulent of grasses. Our butler would reach the London market at the time when it is most bare of ihe primest qualities, and should realise from 130s to 140s per cwt, from November to April, bolh months inclusive. We think the subject well worthy of due ; consideration ou the part of our farmers.
