.-■ In the Messrs Bell's match factory all that this colony supplies to make a match is the fat, Which sounds true in other meanings. ; fetch drum in the initial work in the match factory has -04 mi lea of cotton for the wicks of the matches. At the first start the colonial vestas were exasperatingly had, but now we are glad to say they are excellent, lighting readily, ' We regi'ef^ th learn that Mrs Park is seriously ill, in consequence of which thd Mayor of Palmei'ston has found it nee"essais to resign. The Miikftfea River Board has determined to do ao further Work until a decision as to a loan has been obtained. Mr Nixon took ttvel 1 We cilnr^e of Mie! Baiilr bf Allsti'atasla on Saturday, after his holiday from Mr Chettle, who left for Palmerston by the afternoon train. ' Mr D. Pringle has been elected President of the Manawatn Racing Club. Mr J. R. McMillan has been elected dne 1 of the Stewards of the Manawatii Bacilli* Club-. From the Post I.—"The1 .— "The best specimens , of womankind will not present themselves " i was an argument used against the admission of women to Parliament. " ])o the best specimens of manhood present them: selves?" was Mr Tanner's pertinent- <iiiel ! y, t and as hh qlymfefl Mmd the House he ad'leit, '' And are these the best- TO men in the colony?" The reply was too obvious for utterance. The Mayor of Wellington at a meeting of the Council last week said " On going Into th« Corporntion financed he was perfectly astounded at the amount of Money which was lioing ptiid in interest. The Conucil was simply in a postilion of slavery to the money-lenders of England" Some of the flu -Mi art Viiilwr.vs have smoking eal'riage.s for ladies. The Baltic Canal is now fully eight metres, or nearly 27 feet deep, from end' to end. It is estimated that over a hundred millions of people now speak the English language. The dome of the Palais de Justice, in Brussels, is made of papier-mache, and weighs 1C tons. London is 17 miles long and 32 bi'oad; and every year see? about 20 miles of new streets added to it. Pipeclay and water, mixed to a stiff paste, and laid on the stained portions, will remove oil from a floor.Rats may bs got rid of by stuffing their runs with dry hay that has been we 1 seasoned with cayenne pepper. An Awish paper says it is stated that the New Zealand Government will introduce next session a bill excluding Asiatics, a'iens, criminals, and lunatics from the colony." This is wrong, we cannot part with our lunatics, we simply take steps against their importation. The framer of th.' Bill still desires to live in New Zealand. The total amount of 130,000 kroner, which M. Andree, declared to be necessary to defray the cost of his proposed balloon, expedition ; to the Nqrth Pole, has now been fully scoured. It hois, been found that owing to improved machinery a man's labour represents double the value it did 70 years a#o ; but, &r prices have meanwhile fallen 88 per dent, a man now produces as much A 9 three did 70 year 9 ago, or two and a half 50 years ago. With today's issue will be found a circular from Mr W. B. Rhodes thanking his customers for past support, and asking that ifc ; may : ,be continued; ; Mi- Rhodes' store is kept well slocked 'with all the dif • ' ferent lines, and to cash customers the goods are sold at the lowest prices. The ! stock is of the very best' quality, and is kept fully up to the requirements of the district. Mr Rhodes also holds several agencies, which may be seen by a perusal of the circular. The annual meeting of members of the Foxton Eacing Club will be held at their office on Monday next, at 7.30 p.m. Certainly the most effective medicine in the world is Sanders and Son's Eucalypti Extract. Test its- eminently powerful effect in Coughs, Colds, Influenza ; the relief instantaneous. In serious cases and accidents of all kinds, be they wounds, burns, scaldings, bruises, sprains, it is the safest remedy — no swellings— no inflammation. Like surprising effects produced in Croup, Diphtheria, Bronchitis, Inflammation of the Lungs, Swellings, &c, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Disease of the Kidneys and Urinary Organs.

Trust in this approved article and eject all others. — [advt.] Particular attention has been paid this year to the requirements of country custo mers, and the result is to be seen in the immense .-and varied stock of calicoes, shn'tiriga, flannels, flannellettes, strong wearing dress materials, men's and boys' clothing, &c. The choice in each department is almost unlimited, as may be imagined, when it is stated that of flannelette alone, over 50,000 yards have this season been imported at Te Aro House, Wellington. A specially organised department has been established to deal with country orders. Patterns of any materials in stock will be forwarded to any address post flee. Country residents are invited to write for prices, or any information regarding goods wanted. It is confidently asserted that nowhere can such a wide selection, or such sterling value be obtained, as at Te Aro House, Wellington. — -Advt.
