WE had occasion last week 20 call attention TO
the random rifle or pistolshootine in the neigh
borhood of this city, and we wish now to mention
the killing of mynahs contrary to the law A
friend of ours found four of these useful little
birds recently shot near his own residence NJ
Makiii.; dis section proved how almost complete
ly insectivorous these birds are. In the crop of
one was found thirty insects and n few seeds
OF lentana examination of each of the others told
the same tale. We can well spare both insects
and lentanNs, and the law is supposed to protect
=" all inseotivorous birds of foreign importation"
by fine OF ten dollars on any one killing,
sncrng or trapping" thcm. Unfortunately this
law has become almost dead letter. 1t would be
well If 1t were revived again.
On board the City Of Sydney was Coles Circus
and Menagerie, comprising twenty four horses and
ponies a beautiful little zebra and a collection OF
Wild beasts. Amongst the blpeds was couple of
iniirlitisimal dwarfs one with wife and family,

was not time for them to give performance, but
the horses had little stretch out on the esplan-

Mrs. DIR. WEIR, who resides at Kulaokahua,
met with a serious and almost fatal accident one
day last week She was burning some alcohol
over an alcohol lamp which was sitting on n wash
stand, when her little daughter accidenty upset it
and it Immediately blazed up and in a moment
more would have set the house on fire had not
Mrs. Weir tipped Il in to wash bowl. She started
TO take 1t out of the room but 1t was blazing so
that she was unable to carry it further than the
door where she dropped it, and fortunately it was
extinguished by the fall but her clothing was in
flames and though almost suifocated she had the
rare presence of mind to pick mat oil the veran-
dab and wrap 1T around her and smother the fire.
Unfortunately she was alone in the house at the
time and had she not been able to extingush
the flames as quickly she did, herself and
child and the house must all have been burned.
Her injuries are very painful but she Is getting
along as well as could be expected under the
