PARLIAMENTARY JOTTINGS.

“From the superintendent to the rank and tile, nothing more creditable lias been done in the railway service of the colony than has recently been done on the New Zealand railways during the extraordinary congested state of the traffic.”- The Minister of Railways’ compliment to his department. Mr Barclay wants the Government to amend the Workmen’s Compensation for Accidents Act by extending its operation to sailors on boats engaged in intercolonial trade. He also wants the lease iu perpetuity system of disposal of Crown lands discontinued. Mr Arnold is to ask the Government if they .will Ibis session introduce a bill or move such resolution as wilt enable the electors to express their opinion on the question of Bible-reading in schools.

Mr Millar is to asked the Minister of Defence if ho will this session amend the Defence Act by striking out the clause enabling volunteer corps to import their uniforms free of duty. The Teachers’ Salaries Commission will probably have their report ready for Parliament within a fortnight.

The Referendum Bill (the Premier) enables any bill rejected by either House to be submitted to a vote of the electors. Any legislative proposal may bo so submitted to a vote if a resolution to that effect is passed by both House. A private cable message received in Wellington states that. Australia will send 1000 troops to the Coronation ceremony in 1902.

“We have no more right to condemn a gentleman for taking a title than we have of condemning anyone for being a vegetarian, and I, for one, heartily congratulate Sir Joseph Ward upon the distinction he has gained.” This is the opinion of Mr Laurcnson on the recent distribution of honours.

SANDER & SONS’ EUCALYPTI EXTRACT I —Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communication made by the Minister forfForeign Affairs, through the Consul-General or Italy at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883Acknowledged by Mdical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe.

There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, products of simple distillation, forming crude, resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken for our pursolatile Eucalypti Extract, which is recognise by the Medical Division of the Prussian Goernment to be of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we vtatc;—

It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities of Bonn and Griefswald (Prussia), and reported to by Dr Schultz Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mossier, Director of the Medical Clines at Griefswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and treed of acids resinous and other substances adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualifies proper to the plant. All crude oils or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are to be classed according to the named authoriti is, among the turpentines, which aro abandoned long since as an internal medicament. Ti cse crude oil, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible:

1. By their deficiency in pungent oJv (which our product, the only genuine Eu;a lypti Extract, develops most freely throega ts surplus oxygen.) 2. By their alcoholic, thin, and mobile appearance, being reduced to specific density through the presence of acids. 3. By their taste, the result of contract ing tendency of resins and tanats. If these crude oils, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, aro applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, dipthcria, internal inflammation, dysentry, etc., the consequences are most appalling.
