The Maori language is taught' at the Wanganui Technical School. The subject is taught conversationally by a Maori. To go to bed at night with your back yard intact, and to get up in the morning and find a deep well in it is not’ an everyday experience, but it happened to a resident of Newton Road. Auckland, the other dav. On going into the yardjit the beck of the house, she saw a large hole which, upon investigation, proved to be an old well. A clothes prop, about 12ft in length, was put down, but it failed to reach the bottom. It appears that the well had been covered over with earth, and that the recent heavy rains caused this to cave in. A number of small children, it is stated were in the habit of playing about the yard, and it is fortunate that the well was discovered in time to prevent an accident.

What a .well known Chemist has to say of Dr. Sheldon’s New Discovery. April 27th, 1904. Sheldon Drug Co., 1 o O’Counell-street, Sydney, N.S.AV. Dear Sirs, — Last week I took home a bottle of Dt. Sheldon’s New Discovery for Coughs, Colds, and Consumption. I obtained this for my two boys aged seven and four years. The elder lad had a nasty, troublesome cough and cold; the other a bad cold and a cough just beginning to trouble him. They each took your cough remedy, which, by the way, they liked immensely, and in two days the cough and cold of the younger hoy had entirely disappeared, having been cut short in good time, and at the end of the third day the eldor boy was absolutely cured. Being a chemist for seventeen yoars I am naturally somewhat antagonistic to proprietary and patent medicines, but in this instance I must recognise and acknowledge the efficiency and merit of your excellent preparation, and give credit where credit is due. I was greatly pleased with the marvellous and striking curative and soothing properties of your admirable remedy, which I will add, from a pharmaceutical standpoint, is splendidly compounded.— Yours faithfully, CHARLES A. FINCH, « Ph. C., M.P.S., etc. Kuranda, Boyce-street, Glebe Point, Sydney, N.S.W. A IV. J. Mann, agent, chemist.
