TABLE TALK.

Couxtt Council Elections to-day.

Stiff " breeze " at Wellington. Our liquoring legislators. Isn't gout the act of the devil ? . ■ Stage rehearsal of " Rob Roy '.' to-night. Dr. W. R. Erson runs for Onehunga Mayoralty. • Our eastern suburb has a weakness for medical Mayors.

Mr Devore is unopposed for a second term in Auckland.

Benefit to the pretty Mohawk danseuses to-night. : . ; To-day's cold weather looks like t a relapse into winter. , ' *

Hope it will improve for the Flower Show on Friday. '• ' '

For the races on Saturday, you mean, you sly dog!

The Crown Prince of Germany may pos sibly live five years.

His eldest son is now 27 years of age— quite old enough to take the reins of empire.

Gladstone was in Parliament at 22, and at 24 was Lord of the Treasury. Sheep on an isolated " run " at Tophouse, in Nelson District, are infected with scab. The Chief Justice of New Zealand thinks that working men should not have the bene fit of the Bankruptcy Act. Custavus Adolphus ascended the throne at 16 ; before he was 34 he was one of the great rulers of Europe. \ The " unemployed " are still agitating at Christchurch, and grumble that the work offered them is unremunerative.

A miner named Edward Jones was killed iv the Westport Company's coal mine yes terday by a fall of coal.

Times are very bad with Wellington thieves, as they have taken to breaking into the street pillar letter-boxes. Washington was a distinguished colonel in the army at 22, early in public affairs commander of the forces at 43, and Presi dent at 57.

A " sweeping" change ! Among the pas sengers from, Sydney yesterday was Mr Jones, an ex-policeman, who, won £5,000 in Adams's "sweep" on.the Melbourne Cup. He resigned from the " force " the day after he got his prize, and is now making a tour of this colony. .

A recent Auckland invention is named "Bayne's Wine, Spirit, and Beer Ad juster." This has nothing to do, however, ■with testing liquors, but with restoring the symmetry of damaged, pewter pots. The members of Thames Charitable Aid Board are not conspicuous for gallantry. At the meeting on Monday niglit it was suggested that the Fever Hospital ab Parawai should be converted into an Old. Women's Home, but one member at once exclaimed, "Why, you couldn't keep women together," and then, by way of explanation, he added, "They would tear each other's eyes out!" Not to be out done, another member chimed in, " Well, what if they did ? It wouldn't matter."
