Did not Mr Rigby como up tho next day? —It waa in a day or two. I fancy it was tho next day.

Cross • examination continued : I swear that I did not know until the day of tae funeral that I was to havo an interest in the Settlers' Hotel. I can deny positively that I was the mouthpiece of my mothor in giving instructions to Mr Thorne for tho prepara tion of the seoond will. The draft of tho codicil bequeathing tho jewellery to me waa prepared by my husband, and I got tho witnesses who signed it. The jewellery connieted ofjone rather costly set, and gold watch and chain, locket and chain, brace lets and brooches and lings, one of them boing a diamond ring. Before my mother's death I gave a brooch each to Mra Barrison and Mre Low. Sinco thia trial came on I have not offered my brother Harry anything to c-me on our side with regard to the will. My husband told Harry simply to speak tho truth as a witness. I remember Harry eaying tha' be would havo been satisfied if ho had got back from mother the greenstone chain with which ho had been presented by the Mel bourne 'Bus Company. My husband did not reply that that could be mado all right. aa it waa only a matter of £16 or £17, and neither did he say that Harry might there fore assist ue.

By Mr Co1 tor : Neithet has my husband over offered opposition to either Messrs Thome or Kigby seeing my mother alone, nor did thoy ever request us to loavo the room. Tho gift of the jewellc y was lirst referred to by my mother, and without any solicitation at all on my part. When Mr Sissons wa? sailed, Mr Button euggostod to his learned friend the pro priety of calling Mr White instead,aa failuro to do so—and the consequent opportunity for husband and wifo to confer togothcr — would be matter for comment by tbe jury. Mr Cotter stigmatised tho suggestion os a piece of presumption on the part of his loarned friend. He needed not to havo called Mra White at all at this stage, but bo had mentioned tho reason for doing so. His Honor remarked that learned counsel could call tbe witnesses in what order thoy pleaeed, but that comment would probably be prevented by the courto suggested by Mr Button. *

Cha*. Henry Whito, bus-band of last witness, was then called. Ho Bwore that Mr Fullor, while at his houso, directed him to draw out a form of will for leav ing her jowellery to his wifo. He told her it would bo bettor to havo it dono legally, and, with hor concurrence, ho went to Mr Alexander and had tho codicil (pro duced) drawn up. He took down the neces sary instructions from Mrs Fuller's lips, Mrs Fuller had also given him instructions previously about the preparation of the will, and ho had tnkon thorn down, but ho destroyed them whon she agreed to hia suggestion that Mr Thorne should bo sent for to prepare tho will. He it was who told Mr Thorne to coma up and see Mrs Fuller, and at Mrs Fullor's request witnoss was ptosotit at hor inter views with Mr Thorno. Mr Thorno did not" think it right that witness and hia wife should be in the room while he took the inßtructioDß, and ho said ho should send up Mr Rigby to privately receis*e tho3o instructions,and neither witness nor his wife interfered. Mr Thorne did not ask them to leavo the room, although what ho said amounted to almost as much. Mr Thorne, he thought, took down the inatructijns ou the back of a former will, which had been brought up according to Mrs fuller's request. Ho was not present duriog tho intorviow with Mr Kigby. At Mrs Fuller's request he subse quently went down-and told Mr Thorno that Mrs Fuller did not like Mr Rigby, as he would only make out tho will a oertain way. Mr Thorno soemo'.l vory vexed and angry, and said witness only wantod to dnd out what was in tho will, and that ths wholo thing had been a swindle right through. Ho almost called witness a swindler. They had somo words, aud ■whon he reported tho matter to Mrs Fuller sho said sho had thought as much, viz., that Mr Thorn would got nasty when ho heard what sho though about Mr Rigby, and that ho had no right to soy what he had. Witness told her ho would hnvo nothing further to do with regard to tho will, and that was why Mr Lewis was thon called io. He himself had nothing more to do with tho will. He saw Mrs Fulloi onco delirious for about two hours on tho 23rd or 24th of August, whilo Mr Thomp son was up. She was delirious onco again about October. Those fits of delirium came on when she had anything to worry her-any groat excitement—and ospocially when Mr Thompson came up. Ho saw ber again delirious threo weeks beforo her death. Wilh theso exceptions up till Ihroe weeks beforo her death her mind was quito clew, and sho was ablo to tran=act her or dinary affairs.

Tbe witness was cross examined at seme length by Mr Theo. Cooper.

The City Fresh water Baths.

As constant complaints have boon received regarding tho diriy stato of tho fresh water baths, ono of our staff re-

coutly. on tho invitation of tho chitf turncock, Mr Carlaw, mode a careful inspection of tho placo. Ono of the iitgt things that attracts attention is a notice that the use of soap in tho baths is forbidden. Thia alono does away with ono causo of complaint, as it haabeen frequently asserted that well-soaped individuals do net hesitate to enter the bath. A couple of glasses wero next obtained, and a tumbler full of water was taken from the both Another glaasfull of pure water nas tbon taken from the tap. As the bath was full of bathers, over on 9 hundred and fifty having been iv duriog the morning, tho time of our inspection waa well chesen. Added to this was tie fatt lhat tbe bath had not been emptied and cleaned out for a fortnight. Upon carefully examining the two glasses of waller, it was found impos sible to detect which had been taken from the balb. This was ths moro surprising as the body of wator presented the colour of pea soup. Upon asking tho explan ation of this, it was stated that tbe greenish yellow appearauce of the water was solely the result of the reflec tion from the half roof of corrugated iron. This was easily illustrated, for although the wator in the glass appeared perfectly clear, still when it was placed in a, position to oatch the reflection it pre sented tho samo uupleasant appearance. This proves conclusively that tho dirty colour of tho wator is solely tbo result of the reflection. It has also been stated that the bottom of tho baths ia slimy, and many think that this is a deposit of mud, but such is not the case. The action of the sun causes a species of vegetation to exist on tho bottom of I be bath, but that does not dirty the water, (.a it requires baga of sand to scrub it off when tho time for the periodical cleaning arrivep. Thero is a constant flow of water into the batb, and at such a rate that practically the whole body of water ia changed four times in a week. When the bath haa beon emptied and scrubbed out it takes 252.000 gallons of water to refil it. During that time until tho next cleaning 800,000 gallons of water flow through the meter into tho bath, and as the returns for tho same period show that a littlo over 3,000 persons nsed the bath, it will bo eeon that, according to these figureß, each bather is allowed 356 gallons of water, so that there can be little doubt but that the cry of dirty baths ie a false alarm. Any person who is still doubtful upon tho matter has only to apply to tho custodian, and ho will wil lingly afford every information on the sub ject, ' ..

WAIROA RIVER AND FALLS.

On Saturday last two tourists left town for the purpose of seeing tho falls on the Wairoa Rivor. Leaving by tbe 8 a.m. train, they procured horaes ut Papakura, and rode to the falls, arriving there about one o'clock, the distance being some ten or twelve miles from Papakura. The nearest station to the falls is, however, Hunua. The rivor is even now a grand one for boatiogon, being wide and deop. The falls, 100 feet or so in per pendicular height, are a grand eight, and though lower than either Waitakerei or Nihotapu, have far more water than either, perhaps as much as both combined. Near to the great falls are somo smaller ones on Mr Kelly's farm.formod by a largo creek which, after falling somo forty or fifty feet, runa into the Wairoa River. These falls and tho scenery generally on thia creek are very bojutiful. On tho road back the-tourists, through the kindnesa of a eoltier who acted a_ guide, viaited a giant kauri, growing on the edge of a deep cully, about half a mile from tho ro.d. This huge tree - some fifteon feet io diameter-rises for fully fifty feet tothe first branch.v/bich is itself as large as a fair-sized tree. Near to the tree is an other large kauri, some eight feet tbioK, but which, compared with its gigantic neighbour, looks small inaeed. i <-'losa, t0 these are two others, much smaller, _but with trunks 60 straight that to the first branch they cannot be six inches out ot plomb.

FRANCE AND GERMANY.

Tho Relative Strength of Their Armies,

Should the French Government think fit to pick up the glove which tho " honest broker,'1 with hia usual brutal frankness, has chosen to throw down, a study of tho military resources of these two groat powers will poßseßH universal interest. It ia not merely tbo forces on paper that affect the question—in these the peace establishment of France ia nearly 80,000 mon larger than that of her rival- but their convenience of mobilisation and tho power of the couutry to replaco loseea. The French standing army consists of 144 regiments of tho lino, each i f four battaliona of four co.npan.os, with two depot companies, 30 battalions of Chasseurs a pied, four regiments of Zouaves, throa regiments of Tiralleura Algt.reo.3, ono foreign legion, throo bat talions of African light infantry, 77 regiments of cavalry (heavy and light), 3S regimonts of field artillery, with a suitable complement of workmen, artificers and pontonniere. The total strength, attached and un attached, included in the budget for 18S0, was 523, S3,', officers aud men, and 131,355 horses. Taking into account tho various classes of reserves available, France has about 2,500,000 men at her disposal, and includ ing the various classes of able-bodied men whose servicea have been diapeneed with, she may command a grand total of 3,750,000. The peace strength of the army is as follows :— 20,974 commissioned officers, 42,720 non-commissioned officers, 454,130 men ; total 523,824, with 2,694 guns, and 110,590 horses. On the outbreak of war Franco would bo ablo to raise an army, including tho reserve and territorial forcea, of 2,000,000 men, with about 3,000 guns, of which about 1,400,000 are Sold and reserve troops, and ovor 500,000 territorial troopa. Tho army of tho first lino ia estimated by Fronch authoritiea at 2,051,459 mon, and that of tho second lino at 2,057,196 men, or a total of 4,108,655. The whole of France ia divided into IS military regions, each undor a general of division, and subdivided into districts of the same circumference as tho departments, under a general of brigade. Tho fortifiod places havo Paris for tbeir centro, thoso on tho Gorman frontier being threo first class fortresses, ono socond class, two third and nino fourth class. On the Bolgium frontior thoro aro 4 first class, S second, 6 third, and 6 fourth class. The Italian frontier pos sesses 3 first class fortresacs and 11 de tached forts. On tho Mediterranean coast aro tho great naval harbour and arsonal of Toulon, 1 second class and 21 fourth class forts. On the Spanish frontier aro 2 first class, 2 third, and 10 fourth class forts. On the Atlantic coast aro 3 firat class, 3 socond, 2 third and 17 fourth claaa forts ; and on tho channel coast 1 first class, 2 second, and 16 fourth class works.

Tho German empire is divided into nine fortress di-tricts, Konigsborg, Dantzi^ I'oscn, Berlin, Mainz, Metz, Cologno, Al tonn, and Munich, containing 17 fortified camps and 20 other fcrtresses. Tlio strength of tho Imperial army on a peace footing is 440,424 oilicers and men, 61,000 horto?, and 1374 pieces of field artillery, ln addition to these are IUS6 surgeons, 783 paymasters, 019 vets , 757 armourers, and 03 saddlora." Tho war strength is moro than troblo this number, boing raisod to 1,535,400 officers and men, 312,000 horses, and 2500 guns. Tho railway and tolegraph services in war time employ ovor S.OOO officers and men and 5,400 horses. Tho Landaturm and one-year volunteers number a reserve of noarly 1,000,000, and tho total available forco of all classe.. is esti mated at 5,070,000. . Tho army is divided into companies, battalions, regiments nnd corps (titmice, tho war strength of a battalion being 1,000 men, dividod into four coinpanios of 250 cacti, commanded by a mounted olficor. The -orps d'armcc with tho exception of tbo guards, are locally dis tributed throughout the empire. Each con. siats of two divisions of infuntry, a cavalry division of four regiments, with two horso artillery batteries attached, besides tho two cavalry regimonta attached to tho infantry division, and a resorvo of artillery of six field and ono Hying battery. Each corps d'armce has in addition a battalion of pioneers and ono of train. Such aro tho means for land combat at the disposal of Franco and Germany. It must, however, be borno iv mind that tho latter power has all her vast forco in hand ready for concentration, not scattered abroad at Madagascar, Cochin China : or other places which tho.insane foreign policy of tho Republic has led her to annex Another olomont in tho calculation is tho superior physique (except bo far as eyesight is concerned) possessed by tbo Teutons, und their increasing population. Beforo tho Franco-Pruesism war, the population ol the States, now forming tho German Empire, was 38,000,000—it is now 47,000,000 ; whilo Franco, during tho same period, has only incrcaeed from 30,000,000 to 35,000,000.

At sea, of course the superiority of Franco is unquestioned, hor total number of war vessels afloat bsing neatly 400, including 22 squadron ironclads; while Germany pos sesses only 00 ships, 13 of which aro iron clads.

Glancing at tho establishments of other continental powora likely to take part in a struggle which may become general, we find tho peace strength of Austro-Hungary to bo 17.567 oilicers, 21.8,555 rank and tile ; total, 250.422, with 706' guns and 50,302 horses. War strength, 32,785 officers, 1,077,10-, with 1079 guna and 211,402 horses. Russia, poace strength, 507.242 (27,442 officers), with 1,632 guns and 129,736 horses : war strength, 2,459,333, 4,010 guns and 464,580 horses. Of tbia total, 1,241,013 belong to the active aimy, and 1,064.013 to the reserve army, 41,486 are enrolled in lhe frontier battalions, while the CoeEacks form a force of 142,821 combatuntß. Thero is, besides, b territorial reserve of nearly 2,000,000 men, and a national militia of 1,200,01.0 men, or nearly 6,000,000 men all told. Italy, peace strength, 215,000: war strength, 2,400,000; and Turkey, 1,101,000 men, 3,348 guns and 95,000 horses.

To the Editor: Sir, — Amongst the various means to be adopted to prevent the spread of illness during the hot weather, may I bo permitted to draw attention to a vory sonsiblo and inexpensive precaution used by the Sanitary Board of Haßtings, Sussex ? In collecting the house dust, etc., to each cart is attached a box containing quicklime. With this tho men, after emptying the duet receptacle, sprinkle in and around the Eamo, thus leav ing all sweet and clean. Unslacked lime is a powerful disinfectant, and as it is cheap, all householders should Drovido themselves with a supply, and not only should the dust bin be thus at tended "to, but some should be sprinkled about back yards, etc., and W.C.s should have a coat of limo-waeh internally. Theso precautions are in reality the work of the householder, whose duty is thus to supple ment the efforts of the City ond District Boards, for without such joint action, however effectively the external-duties of such boards may be performed, little will prevail against the spread of malignant disease.—Yours, &c, W. E. Browne
