TABLE TALK.

" Cock-A-DOODLE-DOO !" £ Poultry Show at the Agricultural HalL \ And it isn't a " paltry " show either. ; The Premier has gone South. I Spell of beautiful weather. Mr Yaile rides his hobby to-night. } Some " Buffalo gals " are wanted. ' Hugo's Minstrels open their season on Monday. Te Kooti left Tauranea for Waikato yea terday. Great diversity of opinion exists as to the' effects of strong drink upon him. Good news for Mr Samuel Vaile. Tha- General Manager of New Zealand railways goes to Europe on six months' leave of ab sence. Malicious folks say he is going for the purpose of getting some instruction in his business. He will probably be accredited by the New Zealand Government to the Con ference of Railway Engineers and Managers about to be held in Milan. At the annual meeting of St. Mark's Church, Wellington, it was reported thatf during the past year 293 defaced coins had! been placed in the contribution box, and these had to be sold at a loss of 2os. The coins embraced 15 pennies and four "bawbees." ' i No trousers buttons, eh! There's a> minister's wife in Auckland who effects all' repairs on the rev. gent's, pants with but-! tons obtained from the church " plate." { Fish 0 ! Fish are selling at 2s 6d tha' cart-load at Tauranga. That's in the Bay of Plenty. Plenty offish, don'fc you1 see ? . | Among well-bred people, there is but one' little ceremony ; among the ill-bred, there is but little less. I How does that axiom fit in the case Of \ Lord Charles Beresford and his unceremoni ous behaviour on the Royal yacht ? ) Shows him to be exceedingly well-bred,; of course. J The epitaph of an old bachelor:—" To Hymen enemy hot." Can't reverse the sentiment if you try. It reads the same both ways. A plum for the Protectionists —Mr j Garrick, a Canterbury candidate, declares that "he would sooner see the cholera in \ New Zealand than Protection !" Ann Parker, for stealing a watch from a dead body washed ashore at Wellington, has been sentenced to a month's imprison- i ment. i Another legal axiom must have gone f wrong. It has been settled that " the dead] have no rights;" how, then, could she] steal from a dead body ? j Christchurch Freemasons, E.G., contri-, bute L 54 to a Jubilee Memorial Home. Here is something for those who think that a political rogue is better than a fool. } A wise " saw " hath it that it is the fools! in the world that keep it alive. Banish] them, and the wise would soon eat each\ other up. It is estimated that during the past year New Ze&land has lost by fires about L 1,500 per day, a half-million sterling in all. j There's room for retrenchment there ! . i The.N.S.W. Government have purchased] ;he late Sir James Martin's library for the j Supreme Court. The price given waaj 2,000 guineas. The annual poultry show at Mastertoh was opened on Tuesday, and is a great sup-J cess. • * ' ! Bowling Club prizes to be presented at the i annual meeting on Saturday next are now on view in Upton and company's window. ; At Llanwenog (Wales) people take their ) pleasures sadly. | They subscribed for a^ public hearse in honour of the Jubilee. Wellington building trade is aroused to < oppose the action of contractors in keeping \ men at work till 5 o'clock on Saturday afternoons. The contractors are expected \ ta give way. j " Shall I cut this loin of mutton saddle-' wise ?" said paterfamilias. •' No," said the' punster of the family, " cut it bridle-wise, | for then I may chance to get a bit in my mouth." " Technical education is the only hope of the colony," said the Premier to-day. And " gold-mining and small farms are to be the means of enriching Auckland." j These be true utterances ; but the Auck-; land Board of Education think they csraj effect a considerable saving in the annual j cost of the system, without impairing its] efficiency. ■ An Irishman who was reprieved the night! before the execution, and who wished to1 get rid of his wife, wrote to her as follows : —" I was yesterday hanged, and died like' a hero; do as I did, and bear it like a' man." At Wellington yesterday, 2841b of dyna-j mite was expended in an attempt to blow] up a submerged hulk in the harbour. The, fish were " kilt intoirely," but the hulking [ thing didn't seem to be much affected. } There is a man at Tapu, Thames, whosei little weakness is to hoist a flag of triumph j when anybody dies in the district. Hisj latest demonstration aroused the wrath of 1 the survivors, who lose en masae, and the ] eccentric individual (in the words of a local I paper) "retired to his den with the flag; under his arm and his tail between his legs,] like a whipped cur, amid the execrations of I the Tapuites." j : Conversation overheard ; . ,on , the ■ Mount' j Eden Road:—"Why do you stand with) your hat off, Jones V r> " Well, you see, I have been ,p.n,, th©,.iContinenti«' good deal, and it is the custom there{ to stand bareheaded when a funeral I is passing." "That isn't a funeral ; that's; Her Majesty's private carriage taking! some guests to the Temperance Hotel ab ■ Mount Eden." Jones ejaculated, " Oh, i Maria!" and covered his bald pate in the shortest time on record.
