T: In a village near Bury, £15 is given away every year in half-crowns. The rector of the parish, who gave away the money, marked eaob coin on the last occasion. Next day £11 worth were recovered in the public houses of the Tillage. A new description. of inseot pest has developed itself in South Africa. Tho industry of ostrich farming haa received v oheok from the influx of flies, thousands of whioh surround an ostrich, and so irritate tha bird that half of its time is taken up in packing at the flies, so that if something is not done to destroy them it is feared that the feathers will beoome unfit for sending to market, and there is even a poßßibibility that the birds themselves will be destroyed. The most ourious part of the story is that the fly is identioal with or akin to a fly which is found upon horses and ponies in the New Forest, in Hampshire. There is a charming actress on the London stage, says "New York Trtith," whose husband mysteriously disappeared seven or eight yeara ago* On the first day of every month, from hia disappearance up to date, the lady reoeived an envelope containing £50 and a card from her husband," I am alive and well. God bless you." Only that and nothing more. The last envelope received contained £100 and a card, " Hereafter I will send you £100 a month until we meet. lam alive and well. God bless you." From the date of his disappearance his wife, relations, friends, etc., never knew the whereabouts of the man, and the mystery is as deep to-day as it was eight years ago. We clip the following important testimonial from the " Illawarra Meroury " (N.S.W.) of the 80th March. It needs no comment:— 11 Mr John Loved ay, of the Bulli Mountain, writes to us that after Buffering for four years with aoute gravel, he has experienced almost complete relief by using Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract. He says seeing the said Extract advertised in the 'Illawarra Mercury,' ■his intense suffering induced him to obtain a bottle of the medioine from Mr Hosking, chemist, of this town, and that the use of it gave him great relief at once. He states that between the 10th March instant, when he obtained the first bottle of the extraot, and the 19th, the use of that medioine continued to afford him relief, to which he had been a stranger for four years. Mr Loveday writes also that he has found the Eucalypti Extraot a cure for rheumatism as well as gravel. He requests us to publish this information through the • Mercury. 1 We have muoh pleasure in complying with Mr Loveday's request, whose word cannot be doubted, and who can have no object in view other than a pure desire to benefit suffering humanity."— (Advt. 2 Bough on Eats — ■ Clears out rats, mice roaches, flics, ants, bed-bugs, beetles, insects ikunks, jrok rabbits, sparrows, gophers, A hemiflts ani dmggists 1 Rough CN CATAbrh,—Corrects offensive todors at once.
