It is roportod that tho antimony mining undertaking at tho AVaikuro inlot, above Opua, Bay of Islands, is progressing very favorably. Sovoral valuable partiols lmvo boon sont away, wliilo ns tho workings aro dovolopod tlio indications point to a sufficient supply to lteop a largo body of moil employed for yonrs. A maid wandered round among tho flower bods at tlio Exhibition tlio othor afternoon, and gazod at tho geraniums and' verbenas and -phlox drumniondi. Suddenly a soldier stood before her. “A'oti must’nt walk on the grass,” said ho. “Why not?” sho asked. “Becauso it is against tho rules.” “Then why aro you on it?” inquired tho maid. Tho soklior gasped, “I came on to ask you to got off,” lie said at last. “Because Ido wrong that is no reason why you should,” said the maid sovoroly. Ho folt that ho did not dosorvo tho reproof, and yet—;—! Ho struggled to readjust his ideas, in accordance with her inverted notions, when sho suddenly wheeled round and said: “Anyway, lawns wero meant to walk on, and I mil going to do it.” And sho strolled over tho lawn to tho gate and disappeared, and lie stood looking after her, and thought.

Interviewed by tho “Now Zonland Times,” Dr. Ewart, who lias just returned from England, stated that what ho saw at Homo as to tho arrangements at consumptive hospitals altered his views altogether on that subject. Tho host hospital of tho kind ho saw was that at Wooton Sands. This was a Jewish sanatorium, tile matron, by tho way, being a Dunedin lady. There wore twentyfive or thirty patients in the building, which was erected in stone, and consisted of ft number of . small wards.' This hospital stood in tho midst of pino woods. Tho small ward system made administration more easy than any othor system. Each ward at tho institution opened on to tho verandah by means of largo double-folding windows, by which patients could walk, or be wheeled, out into tho open air. It was part of tlio treatment for tho pationts to go gardening. Tho matron informed Dr. Ewart that this work did tho patients an immense amount of good. He considered this typo of stono building, with small wards beneath the same roof, hotter for tho treatment of consumptives than tho separate building system.

A tall person, clad in a somewhat seedy frock coat and top lmt, otherwise bearing every appearance of being an ordinary human individual, was crossing the street near tho Bank of New Zealand in AVellington when a juvenile cyclist, a small boy of ton or twelve years of age, had the misfortune to collide with him. It was one of those simple little mixtures which people are continually experiencing in tho crowded parts of tlio city, and the small boy got all the worst of the deal, for ho was thrown heavily from his bicycle onto tho road. Tho individual with whom ho had collided turned upon him savagely and kicked him in the ribs, at tho same time threatening him with further punishment with his fist. Ho then picked up the boy’s bicycle and dashed it heavily to the ground, wrenching one of tlio pedals. By this time a number of cabmen and several passers-by started to take a hand in the proceedings, and, judging discretion to be tlio better part of valour, the assailant of tlie crying child quickly departed. Only the absence of a policeman saved him from being asked pertinent questions, and he departed to a chorus of vigorous hooting from tho cabstand.
