Manawatu Herald. SATURDAY, MARCH. 1, 1902.

At the late Government Examination for Teachers’ Certificates, we are glad to learn that Miss Wanldyn passed in E, Mr Furrie in D, and Mr Lightbourne in E. Nothing could have been better tor a practical illustration for the benefit of Sir Joseph Ward on Thursday, in support ot the scarcity of trucks than a great heap of coal stacked on the wharf, because there were no trucks to put it into. The last return made by the railway shows that during the twelvemonths 153 steamers had entered and left the port. Their total tonnage was 18,0x0, and the crews numbered 1840. We much regret that Mr Noonan of this town has received a telegram from the Premier informing him that his son, Arthur Robert, a Sergeant in the VII, was shot at the fight at Bothasberg, at the head of his men. Our condolencesJJ are tendered to the parents of Lance-Corporal Percy Nation, who lost his life in the same severe struggle. One of the statements that the bold advertiser makes is “ Phosphorton for Energy.” Whether the Mayor and Councillors have tried the remedy brought so prominently under their noses on every bye-way of the borough we cannot say, but Thursday witnessed a display of energy quite refreshing—and surprising. Was it Phosphorton ?” A schoolmaster recently received the following note : “ Dear sir,—Please excuse my son Jack from attending school to-day, as he has to be at the funeral of his two aunts. I will see that it does not occur again.” A petition from Victoria against altering the King’s Coronation oath was read in the House of Commons and laid on the table. The right Hou. J. V\, Mellor also presented other Australasian petitions. The British petitions on the same subject are as follows :~England, 284,847 signatures; Scotland, 59,199; Ireland, 16,949: Wales, 8670; Channel Islands, 2369 A case illustrative of the infectious character of tubercular diseases was mentioned at a meeting of the Education Board. Mr F. Bradey said he knew of a railway labourer who died of consumption. The whare that he had occupied was taken possession of by another man, who was strong and healthy. In less than twelve months, the aew tenant was attacked by the disease.—Times. The following bit of rural philosophy was overheard in a farmyard in the east of England the other day : “ James, my son," said the man, who stood mixing milk and water, 11 ye see what I’m a-doia’ of? ” “ Yes, father,” replied James ; you’re a-pouring water into the milk.” “ No, I’m not, James ; I’m a-pouring milk into the water. So, if anybody axes you if I put water into the milk, you tell ’em no. Ailus stick to the truth, J[ames. Cheatin' is bad enough, but lyin’ is wuss.”

g The members of the Foxton Bras_ Band are requested to fall in at a quarter to i j to-morrow morning at the Public Hall in full dress with instruments. Mr M. Perreau notifies that owing to tbs price of flour having taken '-■n upward turn, he has been compelled to raise the price of bread. A woman cook, also a useful man are required at the Manawatu Hotel, An advertiser at Westport requires a first-class stripper feeder, keeper and oressman.

ZANDER and SONS EUCALPYTI EXTRACT. According to reports of a great number of physicians of the hightest professional standing, there are offered Eucalpyti_ Ex tracts which possess no curative qualities. In protection of the world wide fame _ of Sanders and Sons preparation we publish a few abstracts from these reports, which bear fully out that no reliance can be placed in other products:—Dr. W. B. Rush, Oakland Fia., writes It is sometimes difficult fo obtain the genuine article (Sander and Sons). I employed different other preparations; they had no therapeutic value and no effects. In one case the effects were similar to the oil camphora, the objectionable action of which is well known.” Dr H. B. Drake, Portland, Oregon, says—“ Since I became acquainted with this preparation (Sander apd Sons) I use no other form of eucalyptus as I think it is by far the best.” Dr L. P. Preston, Lynchburg, Va., writes—" I never used any preparation other than Sander and Son’*, as 1 found the others to be almost uselcs ■. ’ Dr J, T. Cormell, Kansas City, Kans.-, ays —“ Care has to be exercised not to be supplied with spurious preparations, es done by my supply druggist.” Dr HL H. Hart, New York, says—“ It goes witho' t saying that Sander and Sons’ Buoalv.ivi Extract is the best in the market.” *Dr James Reekie, Fairview, N. M.—“ So wide is with me the range of applications of Sander and Sons Eucalypti Extract that I carry it with me wherever 1 go. I find it most useful in diarrhoea, all throat troubl. d bronchitis, etc.”
