PRICE-ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

Political palaver still proceeding. Mr G oldie at the Foresters' Hall to night. Silence may be golden, but Goldie will not be silent. Major Atkinson is to givo an address a_ Wellington next week. Sir George Grey is still in town. He means to visit the woollen factory a*b Onehunga. Debate on "Land Nationalisation" ab V.M.C.A. Hall to-night. Disbandment of Ponsonby and Veteran Rifles gazetted. Miss Florence Isabel Fletcher, of Thames, is the young lady who is to be tha first female civil servant in the colony under the new rules of appointment. • The Wind Whistle Hotel at C&algate, Canterbury, was destroyed by fire on Wed nesday. Insurance, L 5,000. Then somebody will have to " pay for the whistle." Ha ! " Wind Whistle " would be a good name for a hotel situated anywhere in Cook's Strait. Mr R. S. Smythe, the amusement caterer, has gone to England by the s.s. Ruapehu. Young wife: "I wonder the birds don't come here any more. I used to throw then bits cf cake I made, and—" Young hus band : •' Th at accounts for it." An "automatic candlestick "—whatever that is—has been invented by Mr Stanley Hunter, of Auckland.

It can't be for fire-raising purposes ; more likely it lights the candle, snuffs it, and. blows it out at bed-time.

The Melbourne Gun Club's slaughter foi' the year was 25,066 pigeons, at a cost, for birds alone, of L 1,767.

By the new direct liner, Balmoral Castle, engines, boilers, and pumps for Invercargill waterworks have been shipped. Chap. 1., maid one; chap. 11., maid won ; chap. 111., made one.

A lawyer is happiest when his friends are in trouble ; a doctor when his friends are seriously sick; an undertaker, when his friends are dead.

The Colonial Bank has on deposit over a million in sums of LBOO and under.

Sir Henry Parkes, the "grand old man" of New South Wales, says that he has pro- vided that when he dies he is to be buried in the mountains, and without any. funeral pomp. There is some speculation as to the result of the competition next week for the cham pionship of New Zealand in the art of High* land dancing. A number of connoisseurs fancy the quick style of dancing adopted by the present champion, while others prefer the slow and graceful stepping of the Aucklander, tha speed increasing towards tho close of the dance.

It is a risky thing for a man to travel on his reputation, but to travel on his notoriety at once stamps him as a fraud. There are now about 100 children on the roll of the Kindergarten school, but there are so far very few babies left to nurse, although the charge made for the latter haa been reduced to threepence per day. Auckland Gas Co. 's half-yearly dividend will be payable at. the company's office on Monday next.

Mr W. J. Dalton, of Auckland, is the in ventor of a new patent "sausage casing.". You never sausage a clever thing ! Next year will be the centenary of the Colony of New South Wales, the first con voy of convicts having reached Botany Bay Professor Brown will ei-li^"t¥h^A_uc__la-_^ T ders next week on how to make a fortune out of the secondary products of timber. Poor Wellington! Sir Robert Stout said yesterday that Auckland harbour was in his opinion, the best in New Zealand, and was, in fact, second to none in Aus tralia, except that of Sydney. L 25 for a dog-bite is what the Supreme Court judge at Dunedin has just awarded to a boy named Moseley. Lucrative opening for Garrard, who gets an average of three bites a week from stray curs.

At L 25 a bite he would soon be rich be yond the dreams of avprice ! His difficulty is that he can't get at the; owners of the dogs, so he has to "take it out" of the animals with his stick. Wait till the Cruelty to Animals In-: spector catches him belabouring an' un fortunate canine prisoner, which is half strangled by the running noose with which he encircles its heck.

Talking about dogs, the Dog Inspector at Wellington recently " struck a patch." He. went to the dog show at the Drill-shed with a view of passing a pleasant; hour, and while inspecting the dogs it struck him that there were a good many unregistered animals among the exhibits. Some 48 of the dogs on exhibition, exclusive of puppies under six months of age, were found to be unregis tered, and prosecutions are to follow. Marie Augustin Despeissis of London in a new departure in the way of women in ventors. She has patented a device for creating a regular and even draught through the tubes or flues of steam boilers which is said to work well.

Tbe only persons in the world who.do not like to see redeeming qualities in. the human race are pawnbrokers. And it may be added that they alone among the electors do not quarrel with members because of " unredeemed pledges." Messrs R. G. Hawes and John Johnston axe nominated for the vacancy on North cote Road Board, caused by the retirement of Mr G. N. Brassey.

A Queensland kanaka has started a grog shanty on one of the railway lines. This is fighting the white pfeller with his own weapons.
