WELLINGTON ITEMS.

■» Press Aaaooiation— By Eleotrio Telegraph— Wellington, January 17 The Department of Agriculture intends to conduct an experiment with the object of ascertaining the exact percentage of salt) and " jncervitas " to be used m preserving butter. A sample of butter is being sent to Wellington from the Moa factory, Xaranaki. The intention is to grade it, store it for three months, gr«de it again, end then store for another tbiee months. Some days ago the Wellington Licensed i Victuallers Association wrote to all the hotelkeepers m the oity, urging them to re frain from trading on Sunday. The circular has been favorably received by a majority of the publicans, and it is understood that on Sunday liquor waa unobtainable at any of the houses, exoept by lodgers. Daring December a total cf 2477 men were employed on co-operative worki under the Government departments. In the tame month the total number of unemployed as sisted m the oolony was sixty. Telegraphic oommuuio ttiou with Waira* rapa, whioh has been interrupted since Friday owing to the bush fires and gale, wm restored to-day. The Railway Department expects to resume through traffic on the Wellington* Wairarapa-Napierline.atpresentinterrapted by the damage done by the bush fires to the railway bridge at Mauriceville, by Wedriei* day morning.

HANMER SPRINGS.

From Our Own Correspomlant. The Springs are quite rushed this season. The halt, the withered, and the maimed are here — a real "Pool of Bethesda," giving healing virtue for almoßb every kind of suffering. Just see that man. He came moh two crutches, groaning m agony. Two dayi after one crutch is gone. He can sleep and 9njoy life. Here is another, a big runholder, trusting to a strong stick to keep him from falling. 3 hree days after he joins us on the bowling green. Here they are from all parts of New Zealand. We missed the Ashbdrton visitors very much, as Mr Thomas kept the place alive. Just fancy, last week there were 581 baths taken. The new sanatorium is rushed, visitors ! being turned away every day. This is, and will be, the house for all time coming. At) present it can only accommodate sixteen sleepers ; and if there were fifty rooms they would all be filled. This is oue ot the few paying concerns of the Government), if it ia extended and kept under good management. Mr and Mrs McDonald, whose hands it is iv at present, are giving every satisfaction. Two leading features are — first, the oloae proximity to the baths; and second, no charge is marie for the swimming baths to j those staying here ; thus saving poor Buffer era two to three miles drive m a shaky coach. to_ ! and from the springs twice a day.Thile the Jj accommodation is everything you could M de-ite. There are a dining room, 24ft x 16ft ;^H Bitting room, 22ft x 16ft; ladies' sittin^H room, smoking room, a large and spacion^H verandah with room for one hundred people^Hj to move about on, abundance of water, with every convenience otherwise to give ease 1 and comfort to all who come to the i sanatorium. Those who are here are all m praise of it, and those who could not get m are much disappointed ; but by next Beason ib is to be hoped Government will have added sleeping accommodation for another thirty or forty visitors. Theu the plane will pay well, and give satisfaction to the suffering visitors. This done, and a light railway, cay to the terry, which is eight miles distant, would rejoice many hearts, and make the Hanmer the great sanatorium of the* South Island. Two remarkable clouds came over the baths on Saturday, one the exact shape of a balloon, the other assuming all the colors of the rainbow. Both were much admired. They were followed by very heavy wind on the Sunday. The heat here is very trying, and so is the dry weather, but feed is not so bad as at Aahburton.
