TABLE TALK

Agricultural Show to day. No ; a Horticultural Show. But it's in the Agricultural f[ a \\ That's it! knew it was ■ lioDiething toora i. oorall " Truly ™»V y°' j mean. Been drinking, eh? You must t unparliamentary language. r J ■~ 7L' - didn't say you were "drunk," like Mr °.de and-Sixpence. i rou mean "Bob Tanner," one of the members for Cork. You give him hia genteel name. Yee; it would seem that " Cork" sug gested the proximity of a bottle. Ah, I see. Ttio Tories applied the "cloture" to the Linerals and Home Rulers. True; but they only carried it by a narrow squeak. The British public won't stand the muzzle being applied to their members More nows from Mulli, Bully for you ! What is it ? Oh, sad news. Eighty five miners suffo cated as the result of the explosion in the coal-mine. Just as I said yesterday. It is not the fire, but the cboke-dainp that does the mis chief at these accidents. Couldn't they prevent-that by the intro duction of better ventilation ? They might, but the difficulty is that the " choke-damp" is so speedy in its opera tion there is scarcely time to introduce fresh air after the supply has been expelled or consumed by the tiro, " What"B in a name ?" " Arthur Gordon" was on Wednesday committed for trial at Wellington on a charge ot assault and rob bery. There's nothing in a name. " Oliver Goldsmith " is a cadet in the New Zealand Civil Service ! The Premier is taking a rouna-about route tn \ ■ Maud ; he is at Waipawa to-day. •Sucre's Waipawa, in all the world ? Somewhere in Hawke's Bay, Sir Robert addresses the countiy. bumpkins there to night. I see ; a sort of preliminary canter before facing the smart folks of Auckland. My word ! He wants all the sharpening up he can get, for they say the great Pro- Consul intends to reply to his speech here. A downright bore.—The codlin moth. Goes for the eye of the apple and the apple of its eye. Auckland water is proved to be rich in eels, and other nutritious substances. But etill people will grumble, and they draw the line at drinking " Tripey Joe'e " refuse. A Town Councillor says although people may grumble at the water supplied to tbem in the city, that at Newmarket will ap parently be more ob knox-" ious " still. Aucklanders are still keeping up their reputation for inventive genius. T. H. Copeman, of this city ia patentee of a " paragon wire wheel for perambula tors aod other vehicles ; R. J. Koberts of a filtering cistern, and J. C. Pelham and J. F. Koberts of a " simplex incubator." i Still another invention from our provin cile district Hildeba and Tertius Hill, of Pahi, Kaipara.have applied for a patent for an appliance to prevent horses from " buck ing " and an aid to " breaking in," to be called -'Hill's patent martingale." Seems to me the biggest job these geniuses have got is to invent a new name for their apparatus ! Loßt'two nights of "The Magistrate" by the Royal Comedy Company. Yes; I must not fail to see that most amusing play performed by such an excel lent company, . On dit that some of the lawyera who were engaged in the recent Fuller wilt case are still disputing over tho coets. Glad to hear it. It is very instructive to have lawyers quarrelling. Ho, to ! Are you one of thoie " honest folks "who think there will be a chance of getting their own ? Believe me.the lawyers . are too 'cute to go to law. Well, I don't know ; it is said that one of the gentlemen, of the black robe is deter mined to take the case to Court. Mr Twopenny ib working to obtain the cooperation of the Australian colonies in carrying out the proposed South Pacific Exhibition at Auckland. He cays that Now Zealand is perfectly capable of holding such an exhibition by herself, but that its importance as a political demonstration would be largely increased by the Australian Governments associating" themselves with the undertaking Just so. I see the Prince of Waleß solicits sub scriptions for the Imperial Institute, through the postmasters of the colony. That's a mistaken card to play. Our men of means would prefer to send their donations direct to Albert Edward. No doubt; but if they give the dollars in any way whatever they'll bo sure to get the CMC. decoration at the very least.; Hard times in the South ! I should Bmile I Land at Timaru that cold some years ago for £12,000 fetched only £4,500 yesterday. ' ~ ■■• Well, I suppose some land around Anck land has gone down about as much as that. But it will go up again. ' Otahuhu races to-morrow. Talking of races, there's a desperate at tempt to save the totalisator. Yes ; the big Jockey Clubs have got alarmed, and to lessen the scandal they mean to choke off a lot of the little parasi tic clubs. : . Good job, too ! What's Otahuhu that it should have a race meeting to itself ? But they won't save the "betting machine," after all, I fear. Wha{i this in the Gazette? Mr R. C. Bars tow appointed Judge of the Assess ment Court at Devonport, and Surgeon F. W. E. I Dawson to be a member of the Medical Board, Auckland. - ■ __ More-priests arrested in Ireland, I ccc. Serve them right, too ! A lot of them are at the root of the Irish discontent. ' But won't the people resent the outrage offered to their soggarth aroon ? Wo doubt they'll squirm and howl; but take my word for it the British authorities have squared matters with the Pope, and have his full sanction for what they are doing. What? The present Tory and Orange Government making terms .with Rome ! Surely never. , . ■.■, ...... - Taihoa," and we'll see ccc wbo is .right. Nice to be a " ■'Hinguisb.ed colonist" in the&e times, ien't it ?. And aren't'those Cable Company folks becoming awfully civil just now 1 Of course they are ! TbeyaT& afraid that Vogel's big scheme will be taken up and they will find their occupation gone.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The Maoris are often good practical : philosophers. The Native Minister baa recently: received a letter ftom the chief R«nata .Poata Uruaino, of Kaipara, ex pressing warm approval of the book entitled " Health for the Maori," published by the Department and written by Mr tope, Inspector of Native Schools. The writer considers the publication of suck directions! tar more beneficial to the race than are ; the Maori members of both Hou tee, who, he'saye, have not done any good to the Maori people, and are receiving salaries which they do nut : deserve. Besides that, he adds, there are thousands of pounds ' given away yearly towards payment, of- native pensions which he thinks are not necessary, for, it would be better to form all these pensions in one round sum to pay and support those that might be engaged in " preaching" the words of. that book, and ao make the money beneficial to the whole of the Maori people. Renata is a believer in the-doctrine that cleanliness is next to godliness ;tv-and he is quite right when be declares lo promulgate a 1 • of the laws of health among the natives" would do more ;good than t-Ke Maori members of i'sriiame'nt have'evertiocomplighedby their political; intrigues wish/various .Govern ments. I The ealvktidn pil; the! remnant of the Maori race, indeed, depends upon the adoption'of. different habitli oilife. -■- ■ ■ ■-*

The ash is heavier than in ordinary wheat flours, and ai this U chiefly composed of phosi'hateß, which are very important aB bone-formlng.macerlala, it will be eeen how beneficial this fnod will prove to . children. lam of opinion that this preparation will prove of great diet-tic value, but to ensure its easy assimiUtion by tho system it will re quire caro in cooking, and will need at least thirty minutea at a hoiling temperature to attain this result.
