A bottle bearing an ocean current report was picked up at Salt Lake, Savu Savu, Fiji, early in October. It had been thrown out by the ship Undine on her passage from Salina Cruz to Falrnouto on December 29 1899, and had travelled 5000 miles in 955 days, giving it a daily average of eight miles. During the voyage of the Delphic from London to Wellington, the ship's carpenter, named Myall, fell overboard. An alarm was raised, the ship was stopped, and a boat manned and sent away. As the steamer had ljeen travelling at the rate of twelve kno'.s an hour the unfortunate man was some distance astern, but although only an indifferent swimmer he succeeded in remaining afloat until his rescuers arrived. When picked up he was insensible, but by means of restoratives he was brought round, and shortly afterwards he resumed duty. The Taranaki Herald reminds its readers that nearly a year ago, a poll was carried by the ratepayers of ISew Plymouth for a £60,000 loan for borough improvements, but nothing further had been done except to discover that the money could not be got at the rate of interest authorised. A fresh poll must be taken to authorise the payment of a higher rate. For ladies ties, fichus, collarettes, belts and every description of ladies neck and body decoration, no drapery warehouse in Westland can approach the infinite variety and chaste styles of T. W.

T. W. Tymons and Co's "huge purchases" and "colossal sales" are household words. In no other way of business could the firm afford to sell their goods at such low prices. The magnitude of their trade ii the cause, secret, and corollary of their success.—Advt.

The superior qualities of the Ceylon Teas, are rapidly supplanting the inferior Chinese products 'n tdl the markets of western civilization. The teas grown in the virgin lands of the Sinhalese, possesses greater strength, richer aroma, and an infinitely larger percentage of the Alkaloid Theine, (the active principle and stimulating property of the plant) than do the teas grown by artificial cvlvation on exhausted soil of China. Hence bulk for bulk, the Ceylon Teas are cheaper, purer, more stimulating, and possess a rare fragrance, wanting in those of the Celestial Empire- Of all the brands of Ceylon Teas, the " Kiosk " stands eminently supreme and without rival. Messrs Harley and Co, the wellknown auctioneers and general agents, are the sole agents for Westland of this incomparable brand, and sell it to the general public in full chests, and 51b packages. If a trial is made of the Kiosk tea, no other will again be used and knowing that "once a customer a customer for ever." Messrs Harley and Co, are offering it for the present at prices that no other firm can compete against. All large consumers, and heads of households, would do well to give the " Kiosk " tea a trial. There is quality,

economy, and money in it. —AdvtA gentleman writes : —"Kindly send me at your earliest convenience another box of your celebrated Beehive A.l. Tea It is the finest tea I have ever drunk, and I am recommending it to all my friends, who on using it are equally delighted as myself." This celebrated brand is to be had from the sole agents, Griffen and Smith.—Advt.

Some of the highest living medical authorities attribute the great growth of physical and mental disease which has characterised the last few decades, to the universality of adulturation. They affirm that the taking into the system continually by human beings as food, substances which are chemically foreign and not only incapable of sustaining healthy life, but constitute a perpetual danger to it, is largely responsible for the new and complex diseases that baffle their curative skill. Therefore be wise in time, eat only

K Jam and avoid these dangers. Absolute purity guaranteed—Advt.
