Intended Retirement of the Premier.

MR BALLANCE OR SIR J. HALL

TO SUCCEED HIM,

The following is telegraphed to the ♦♦North Otago Times" by its Wellington correspondent, under date May 27 : — " Rumors have been current for some time of the probability of Sir H. Atkin son's early retirement from office, but nothing definite has hitherto been pub lished. lam now in a position to say, however, thab he will deliver the Financial Statement early next session, and then resign office. His health has become so bad that he is simply unable to attend to Ministerial work without very serious risk to himself, and his medical advisers insist that he shall leave office. The question who is to be his successor as r render is not, I believe, settled yet, but it is. pretty certain that it will be Mr Ballance, or failing him Sir J. Hall. The latter, however, is less popular, because his connection with the Atkinson, Whita ker, Pollen, and Hall party makes him a sort of mark for the Opposition, and he would not be over pleasing to some Government supporters. One important proposal likely to be made is for the ap pointment of a committee to enquire into and report upon the grievances of railway employees." (Notwithstanding that our contempor ary accepts the above without question, finds a leading article in the assumption that Mr Ballance may be " sent for," we incliae to the belief that there has been a blunder somewhere, and that for "Mr Ballance " should be read "Mrßryce."

it is not likely that the work will be carried out.

Wellington, May 29. The " New Zealand Times." says that there is likely to be a severe block of business in the Supreme Court before long. The accumulations of work are already heavy, and the Chief Justice having four Supreme Courts to look after cannot possibly overtake them. Judge Edwards has quite enough Native work to do at present, and moreover cannot act as a Supreme Court Judge until an enabling Bill has been passed.

A Recipe for Destroying Scale Insects.

A travelling correspondent of the N.Z. " Herald," writing from Nelson, says : — In talking with Mr H. Batt, one of the local fruit growers, on the all absorbing subject of orchard pests, he told me of a recipe that he had used with great success for the destruction of the scale insects and for keeping in check the codlin moth. He applies it to all sorts of trees—apples, plums, apricots, etc., with equal success. The following is the recipe :—For winter or early spring application, before the leaves come out, take of unslaked lime, 101b; of sulphur, 51b; add enough water to mix, and then put the whole into an iron pot j put it on the fire, and let it come to a boil, and then boil for half-an-hour, keeping it stirred. When boiled place in a 30 gallon cask, and fill up with water ;' stir well, after which it is ready for use, and should then be applied to the trees with a garden syringe. For summer use the solution is made in the same way, only that 2£lb of sulphur | is used to the 101b of lime instead of 51b. The use of this application has completely cleared Mr Batt's orchard of all varieties of scale insects, and he also states that the application of the weaker solution at intervals during the spring and summer tends greatly to keep the codlin moth in check.

A Clever Skit.

We reproduce the following from the "Catholic Times " as a shocking example of the tendency of some papers to forget the respect that is due to those who have undertaken the thankless task of making their lives miserable for the sake of the honor and glory of office : —Lost, stolen, or strayed : A long, lean, yellow pup, answers to the name of "General Pros perity." Last seen by rightful owners some considerable time ago, but it is rumored to have been quite recently in possession of a man named Harry At kinson, who is reported to have exhibited it (probably stuffed) at the General As sembly Public House, Thorndon, Welling ton. The pup, whether alive or dead, was then in an exceedingly emaciated and mangy condition, but was wearing a large brass collar, on which was engraved the word " Protection." It is further alleged that the missing animal was subsequently exhibited at Oamaru by a suspicious looking female named Herslop, and in other parts of Otago by a boisterous, hairy character of Scottish extraction answer ing to the name of Faggotts. The dog has been taught by those illegally in possession of it a variety of tricks—to dance, beg for loans, stand on its hind legs and bark at the word "retrenchment" etc., etc. It is feared that the aforesaid Atkinson and his accomplices have starved or poisoned the pup to death. A liberal reward will be paid for the recovery of the animal, if alive, and, if dead, for such information as will lead to the conviction and deportation of the persons who stole and barbarously smothered or otherwise killed it. If the aforesaid suspected persons are keeping the animal tied up for unlawful purposes of their own, they are hereby warned to let the pup off the chain, and it will come home of its own accord.

THE SONS & DAUGHTERS OF TEMPERANCE - FRIENDLY BENEFIT SOCIETY. THE Special Advantages offered by this Society are—lst, a large invested fund"; 2nd, the funeral donation being reassured by the National Division ; 3rd, a liberal relief during sickness, with choice of any doctor within the district for members and their families, and as large funeral donation as is consistent with safety. The Grand Division has established a Central. Sick Fund, which secures uni formity of fees and benefits throughout New Zealand ; allows members to move from one division to another without any increase of contributions, and affords absolute security to small or weak divisions, Benefit for Male Members :—First six months' sickness, 20s per week; second six montlis, 13s ; afterwards, 10s ; death of a member, £30; death of a member's wife, £10. Half the above benefits are received by female members. Honorary Members of both sexes shall be entitled to the services of the physician and apothecary, providing they pass a satis factory medical examination, and recoup to the Division the amoimt of fees payable by it to those officers on their account. The pledge originally adopted has remained unchanged until the present time, and by it all forms of intoxicating drf nits are proscribed. The position the Sons and Daughters of Temperance occupy is a standing testimony of the value of Total Abstinence principles, and compares favorably with any other Friendly Society ; the sickne s rate showing one-third less than that of other Societies not based on total abstinence principles; the death rate being only six per thousand in the Sons and Daughters of Temperance, as against nine per thousand, the yearly average death rate of other Societies. This Order should command the support and attention of all earnest temperance workers, as it gives imcontrovertible testi mony of the value of total abstinence to the health of the body; exerts a decided in fluence on public opinion, and provides an opportunity for total abstainers to make provision for themselves in case of sickness, accident, or death.

IT IS NOT POISONOUS to animals, there is therefore no danger of poisoning Horses, Sheep, Cattle, or other animals, by the Dip draining od the grass or herbage; there is no danger in leaving it about in the way of children or others ; nor is there any danger of wholesale poisoning from neglect, accident, or design. ITS EFFECT UPON THE WOOL is exceedingly important to Woolgrowers. It rapidly increases the value ; it does not arrest the growth at any time but promotes the natural secretions, and increases the weight of the fleece ; it does not stain or discolor the wool, nor take out any of the yolk, but is at all times the best Dip for the wool that can be used. IT IS CHEAP and repays itself tenfold to the sheep-ownerr - • IT IS EASY TO USE, requiring very little preparation, mixes instantly with coid water, leaves no sedimeut, no scum, no waste. One gallon of Dip to.loo gallons of water—the wash is then ready for use. ' IT IS SAFE. Whilo Piosonous Dips can only be used with caucion "upon sheep, this Dip may be used upon all animals : Horses to kill insects and the mange ; also Dogs for tho same purpose ; also for exterminating insects, and alleying all irritation of fhe skin of Dairy Cattle, Pigs, etc., for which purpose it is simply invaluable. FOR SCAB, LICE, TICKS, and insects of all kinds, it is a mosUffectuai Dip, and thoroughly reliable at all times, and in all climates.
