GAMBLING IN NEW ZEALAND

During the past year there were 220 prosecutions under the gaming laws in the colony, resulting in 179 convictions, against 171 prosecutions and 140 con victions in lb9B and 44 prosecutions and 38 convictions in 1897 1 his in crease, the Commissioner of Police siye, roust not be taken as an indication that the police have been able to rid the streets of professional betting, or in any w»y to check the gambling evil. >or will they be able to do it to any appreciable extent so long as the law remains as it it.

DR. BARNADO'S WORK.

In the April number of the National Waiffl Magazine, Dr Barnado points out that " Owing doubtless to the numerous and widespread Appeals still being made on behalf of the various •war funds, our Treasury has suffered so severely as to cripple all our work among th* Orphan Waifi. During the months of December, January, Febru ary, aiid up to 28rd March, the defi ciency in our receipts this year, as compared witb the corresponding period a year ago, amounts to £10,824 and as our receipts are still on the down ward grade th® deficiency gets daily larger and more alarming." In the same iaeus the following acoounts of his work appears : — With regard to the work done by these Homes of ours during 3899, J will simply »Bk the attention of my readers to the following interesting statistics. They will tell their own story, especially in comparison with our records for 1898. During 1899 the Homes derlt with 13,290 separate children. Of these no fewer than 3011 being absolutely destitute and home less, were at once freely admitted. Of these 3011 admitted, 200 were babies j in arms, 73 were deaf and dumb,, blind, incurable, crippled, or otherwise afflicted, 138 were homeless and friend leas youths, who found shelter within the walls of the labour house, and 145 were very young girls, " saved so as by fire" from the black army of the city streets. In addition through their eleven " Ever Open Doors" in as many provincial towns and cities, and through their three lodging houses in tho deeps of London sluradom, they supplied 58,704 nights' lodgings and 75,007 free ratals in the year During 1899 the Homes emigrated to Canada and the Colonies 650 trained boys and girls, bringing up the emi grants from the Homes at the end of the year to a tojal of 10,660, of whom over 98 per cent have proved unsuc cessful. Throughont last year, as ever since the foundation of the Homes, not one destitute child has been refused free and immediate admission, From the small beginnings of the work in 1866, up to 1899 inclusive, no fewer than 39,450 " unwanted" children have been saved through the agsncy of the Homes from destitution, suffering, vice and crime. Fresh admissions are taking place at the rate of close upon 60 every week. And to-day actually over 5,800 boys and girls are in residence, forming the largest family of rescued waif children in the whole world. These figures may well be left in all their naked eloquence to plead the cause of my children !

Prospects of The Victorian Wheat Crop.

A somewhat remarkable condition of things in regard to the Victorian wheat crop is reported in the Austra- Ivslan. Throughout tne whole of Vic toria, »rd extending away northward and embracing a considerable portion of Riverina, the cereal crops have m*de phenomenal progress, and paradoxical as it may srem, their luxuriance is causing a considerable amount oi anxiety, not to say disquietude, amongst wheat growcrc In quite a large num ber of instances the crops are reported to be three feet in height, and coming ©at in ear: while in numerous other cases th*y are so tall that there is a strong probability, in fact almost a certainty, of them becomng laid on a wholesale scale before the ripening period arrives. Grwoers are puzzled what to do under the circumstances. Under the ordinary conditions of a prclifi year the crops wonld have been eafc'm off by store stock, and tbe par ticular state of things that now prevails would have been prevented ; but, most unfortunately, owing to a serious drought which has prevailed over such a wide extent of New South Wales tihere is a great scarcity of store stock, not only in that colony, but also in Victoria, in ftct, stores are so scarce and dear that they are practically unobtainable at prices that leave any margin of profit for the fattener. Oonsfquently tbe crops have grown uninterruptedly during a season in which tbe rainfall has been abundant and tne temperature singularly mild.

Conscription in a British Colony

While Lord Salisbury is telling us that conscription is out of the question in this country, Mr Chamberlain has been characteristically engaged in ■lipping in tbe thin end of the wedge in a remote comer of the Empire. From a letter just to hand I learn that conscription is already an accom plished fact in the islands of St Kitts and Nevis. It seems that on the "authority of an ordinance passed by tho Legislative Council of the Presi dency and approved by the Secretary for the Colonies, the Governor of the leeward Islands has issuud a. procla mation making every male between the ages of seventeen and forty in St Kitts and Nevis subject to compulsory Military service.—London Truth.

A good story is told with reference to tfod fears if exhibitors ab tho Parle Exhibition in r< gatd to the safety of their goods. One of the great jewellers of the Rue de ia Pa x, feeling aura that the precautions against theft were inadequate, resolved to pab the matter to a practical test. He therefore proceeded to rob himself, and, according to the narrator, succeeded, with the aid of two accom plioes, in bre&king the gla?s of his own show cases and carrying off a large quantity of valuable p operty.
