FOR SUMMER NIGHTS. USE "GOLDEN RAYS.” Of the many excellent reasons why Golden Ray Candles should be used, the fact that they do not droop is perhaps the most important. Even in tjie sultriest summer weather "Golden Rays” stand up to the heat. For camping parties they are ideal—inexpensive and of the best quality. If your grocer doesn’t stock Golden Ray Candles apply Auckland merchants, who will see that you are supplied.

“It always pays to look prosperous, whether you are or not. Everybody helps the prosperous looking man; they kick down the man who is going down.” This little bit of philisophr fell from the lips of the president of the Ashburton A. and P. Association when he was urging the meeting to agree to give the show buildings a coat of paint.

While digging on the site a few days ago (says an exchange) he found a number of sovereigns and half-sovereigns dated from 1837 to 1891. In all he recovered £6O, and is still prospecting. The coins were scattered about eight inches below the surface and not in a receptacle of any kind.
