An ordinary meeting of the Gisborne Borough Council will be held at 7.30 p.m. to-day. Already over one hundred applications have been received at the Harbor Board office for positions on the new dredge Maui, which is due to arrive at this port next month.

The following passengers arrived yesterday afternoon by Messrs Redstone and Sons’ coaches:—From Tokomaru, Mrs Conrady, Messrs Turnbull, Corbett and Black; from Waipiro, Mr Eugert, two- Natives, and a boy; from Tologa, Mrs Sinclair, Miss Reynolds, Messrs Cassidy and Grey. Ten shillings a day for water were being paid by some people in Balclutha prior to a good shower a week ago, which replenished in some degree the exhausted water tanks. The season had throughout been an exceptionally dry one, and rain was often eagerly looked for.

There are a large number of cases on the charge sheet for the Police Court this morning. Included are three charges of drunkenness and breaches of prohibition orders, four charges against juveniles for theft, and a remanded charge against a Native for breaking, entering, and theft. The Prime Minister of Great Britain has evidently cast longing eyes in the direction of New Zealand. Miss Meriel Talbot, the Victoria League envoy, told an audience in Auckland that before her departure for Australasia, Mr. Asquith remarked to her that of all the places which she was to visit, lie envied her most her visit to New Zealand.

Aucklanders appear to be still very* sore over the Knyvett case. The “Herald” states that one member of Parliament, a Government supporter, “is prepared, when Parliament meets, to .move a . vote of want of confidence in the present Administration, unless, in the meantime, the matter has been satisfactorily settled, and justice done to Captain Knyvett.” At a meeting of slieopfarmers recent, ly it was decided to approach the Freezing Companies with a view to ascertaining what guarantee they would require to hold over in storage certain shipments of' frozen meat, in view of equalising as far as possible the arrival of the moat on the London market. A letter was forwarded to the companies, but so far no reply has been received. Concerning the P. and O. service to Auckland the “New Zealand Herald” §ays: Although it cannot yet be ascertained whether the company will continue the service after the third steamer has called next month, it Ls believed that the trial is quite satisfactory.. The first boat (the Mahva) 'brought 154 passengers, and took 10G away. The Mongolia brought about 70, and carries about 230 on the return trip.

Mr. J. E. Davenport, of Governor's Bay, is about to leave for the Argentine with a consignment of about twenty entire horses and upwards of 200 stud sheep (says the “Lyttelton Times”). He will arrive in time for the international cattle show, to be held during May and June. He does not intend to compete for prizes, but will make a special New Zealand exhibit that will be sold at the end of the show. Mr. L. Wilson of Mount Herbert, will accompany him, and expects to be awa Y six months.

The Groymouth correspondent -of the “Lyttelton Times” says:—The gratifying intelligence has been received in town that the Cabinet has accepted a tender for the construction of a bridge over the Big Wanganui river, in South Westland. The erection of this bridge will not only encourage settlement in the fertile south, but will also make the beautiful scenic resorts of South -Westland easy of access. Once the bridge is completed a considerable tourist traffic should speedily he inaugurated to the southern wonderland. Early on Sundey afternoon, March 6, the four children of Mrs. G, Kelly, of Tittybong, N.S.W., were sent to gather woo'd. Three of them returned safely, saying that they had lost the baby, 21 months old. A search was made, but only the bundle of sticks dropped by the child was found. Next morning a further search was made and the baby found amongst some sheep in a stubble paddock, a mile from home. He had been out in the rain all night, but was happy, and little the worse for his experience.

A Grand Fair and Sale of Work in aid of the Building Fund of Holy Trinity Church is to be held in the Garrison Hall on Wednesday, April 6th., and will be opened by the Bight Bov. Bishop Averill at 3 p.m. A host of attractions is being prepared and some lovely articles from various parts of the world. Competitions of many kinds will be in evidence. The To Bau students are to give several items at the entertainment. Mrs W ; Gray is preparing a number of children for musical programme. Additional details will appear later.

“It is a remarkable fact that the first body to recognise the great value of the* Esperanto movement has been the medical faculty,” declared Colonel Pollen, a distinguished Imperial visitor, and President of the British Esperanto Society, now in Auckland. “In the past,” he added, “English medical men - have experienced the greatest difficulty, when attending the great cosmopolitan congresses in Europe, in taking part in the deliberations, and. men with superior knowledge on certain subjects bad to remain tonguetied in. •the presence of Continental compeers. When Esperanto is the acknowledged language, that state of affairs will no longer prevail.’-’ It is very rare, if it has ever happened in New Zealand, or anywhere ■else before, for a whole team to he clean bowled without scoring a single run. This record (says last Monday’s “New Zealand Herald”), was put up on the Auckland Domain on Saturday. The match was between Wharcrit; (Grafton Bond) and Havelock, both teams, being composed of adults. Havelock, winning the toss, went in to bat first, and the 10 wicketr, fell in less than that number of minutes, without even one run being made. Two byes, however, went to the team’s credit. Wharcriti made a score of 43. Blackie was the hero of the match, making 14 (the top score) for Whareriti; and taking nine of the Havelocks’ wickets for nothing, Lloyd securing the other one.

His Majesty the King has to review the boy scouts in Park in June. • The Telegraph Department notifies that telegrams in code language. ' now be accepted for Turkey. Giphei telegrams arc not admitted. When the Native Appellate Court sits in Gisborne in June it is probaole that the Willoughby appeal case will fxi considered.

The Poverty Bay Rifle Association will hold a competition for Government prize money, open to members the defence forces and civilians, at tne Ivaiti range on Saturday, April 2nd. Tolstoi’s “Resurrection” adapted to film form by the American Biograpli Company will be shown to-night by the Pathe Pictures. This powerful subject forms the “star” film of the new programme. On Good Friday night a special performance will be given. The members of the Gisborne City Band, who acquitted themselves so creditably at the recent contest in banganui. arrive home by the s.s. P? ira " wera this .morning. Up till last night no arrangements had been made on the direction of a public reception, although such a function had been suggested. A small boy, while admiring the millinery in Messrs W. Pettie and Co. s window yesterday afternoon, slipped on the cellar grating and, in falling, his head came into violent contact with the large plate glass window, the result being a series of cracks across the lower half of the window.

The Mayor (Mr W. D. Lysnar) received a telegram yesterday from Dr. Frengley, Chief Health Officer, stating that an inspector would arrive in Gisborne this morning by the s.s. Tarawera. In conjunction with Messrs J. R. Little and R. Thelwall. Borough and County inspectors, he will at once proceed on an inspection of the Taruheru river.

According to the “Taihape Times,” all the men concerned deny having had anything to do with the alleged incident at the Taihape engine-shed. It is stated that Annabel lay 7 down on an engine tender, resting his head on some cotton waste, and as he carried a “slush” lamp on his cap, it is suggested that when he went to sleep the lamp fell down and ignited the oily cotton waste. Particulars of the United Christian Endeavor Convention to be held here on Good Friday are advertised in this issue. The programme comprises a prayer meeting at the Baptist Church at 7.30 a.m., Communion Service in Wesley Church at 11 a.m., service in St." Andrew’s Church at 3 p.m., open air meeting at the Firebell Tower with the Salvation Army Band at 7 p.m., and a meeting in St. Andrew’s Church at 7.30 p.m.

The fortnightly meeting of the Gisborne Tent of the Independent Order of Rechabites, was held in the Masonic Hall last evening. There was a fair attendance of members, and a good deal of useful business was got through. The meeting made an expression of regret at Bro. Mcßae’s approaching departure from Gisborne, as he has been a great help to the Lodge, and all present expressed a hope for his success while in Auckland. Two candidates were proposed for membership. Speaking to a “Southland Times” reporter, Mr Hanan, M.P., stated that he was satisfied that the Land Bill of last session would not he brought before Parliament again, and he doubted very much if there would be another Land Bill introduced in the coming session. He thought that the greater part of the session should be devoted to consideration of the 'Local Government Bill, which the Prime Minister last session intimated that he would introduce after the vacation. Consideration would also, , he believed, be given to some amendments of the Licensing Act. A rumor has been in circulation for some time past to the effect that Japanese and Polish timber will be imported into Australasia for the purpose of manufacturing butter-boxes, in preference to New Zealand kahikatea, which, up to the present, has been practically 7 the only wood used. Mr. Geo. Lush, chairman of directors of the Kauri Timber Company, who arrived by the Mongolia last week, stated, in an interview, that lie placed little faith in the rumour, and that even if foreign timber was imported it could hardly compete with kahikatea, either in price or texture.

Included in the new pictures to be shown by the Pathe Picture proprietary to-night is one pourtraying - th e main features of Leo Tolstoi’s famous novel “The Resurrection.” The film was shown at a private exhibition yesterday morning and is undoubtedly one of the most striking tliat has hitherto been seen in Gisborne. It is one of the popular American films, and as is usual in tills class of picture, the staging and the acting of the principals are truly excellent. The story is too well-known to need description, and whether readers of Tolstoi or not. the intensely human nature of the subject will doubtless appeal strongly to the audience. . Beauty in a man or woman is a gift divine, yet the crowning beauty is tlio hair, lacking which there is no true perfection. No one will deny the asser tiou that the hair is the crowning beauty of the human form, and yet ninety-nine out of every hundred persons treat it with the utmost- indifference. We have always believed that- it is better to volunteer to do a thing than' to wait until it becomes a matter of compulsion, therefore we guarantee with a fair trial of Parasene to produce hair no matter how had the case may he.

A BEAUTIFUL GIRL; Miss Genevieve Lyon, has teen declared tihe anost beautiful schoolgirl in Chicago. From her photograph she was chosen as the v . model, for the marble key. stone at the entrance of a new hotel, now being erected.' When she appeared before the judges the .decision was made more emphatic, and the seventeen-year-old girl was awarded the prize of £25 and a scholarship at the Art Institute. She is 5 feet 3 inches, lias a symmetrical figure Avitli a* 20-meli AA'aist and a 32in. bust, and weighs 1181 b. “I have never seen a more lovely face,” said Mr. Korpel, the sculptor. “Hers dees not follow any of the classical types, hut is a fusion of tile old races in modern perfection, which can he seen only in America —the melting-pot of the races.” CORRECT BREATHING. The supplying of .oxygen is not the only function, although it is the most direct and vital one of proper breathing. Thorough expansion of the chest ensures the proper filling of the. lungs with air. dilates all the minute air cells, especially those at the summit of the lungs, Avliero motion is least and where the seeds of consumption are usually first planted, and increases the circulation of the blood throughout all parts, of these organs. Still another effect of ‘proper breathing is a

, one The chest is broadened* the shoulders are thrown back, the figure is erect, and the carriage » graceful Perfect breathing is not natural to most men and women of sedentary occupation and indoor life. Like all good things, it must be worked for, and the work must be. (persevered m until full and deep respiration has become a habit. The means of attaining this object are various and cannot be recounted here, but they are all based upon the principle of removing permanently every obstacle to the free entrance of air into the lungs. School children sitting at their desks, clerk* bending o ver their ledgers, seamstresses at work with the needle or the sow-ing-machine, typists, and all who must/ stoop as they earn their daily 7 bread, should learn to stop from time to time, to sit back in the chair, or ri.se throw back the shoulders and draw m 10 or 12 deep slow respirations, holding the breath for three or four seconds each time the lungs are filled. These exercises. like breathing in genera], should always be done with the mouth closed, for the nose is the only proper channel for the passage to arid fro of the air. A school-teacher who will interrupt the studies once every hour through the session nnd teach the class to do this will be contributing more than she can ever realise to the future well-being of her youthful charge-*.
