Wm. Runcieman, who had described himself as an ex-major of the Royal Dragoons and of the Egyptian Army, and who had been convicted bn Tuesday of having obtained certain sums of money by false pretences, was put forward for sentence. His Honor, in passing sentence, said the jury was satisfied of the prisoner’s guilt, and he had no doubt about it. It was net a case of passing one cheque under pressure of circumstances, but for a period of a month he had passed about a dozen cheques, which Were dishonoured, knowing perfectly well that there was not the slightest probability of their being met. The whole circumstances attending the particular offence showed it to haVa been a deliberate one, jind were such as to exclude the prisoner from the benefit of the First Offenders Act.

An order has been placed with an optical goods firm in Philadelphia by the Mikado of Japan for a complete set of X ray apparatus of improved design. In explanation of the purposes for which the instruments are to be used, the representative of Japan explained that the Mikado’s mints had been habitually robbed by employes, who would surreptiously swallow the newly-made coins. All sorts of devices to prevent this system of loss had been tried in vain, until the Director of the Imperial Mints decided to bring science into play the part of a detective. As soon as the Philadelphia firm can ship the ; machinery to Tokio, the suspected employes will be •* X-rayed ” each day. It will be an easy matterafter the plates are developed to point with a finger of certainty to the guilty ones.

A curious state of affairs in a West Coast township was ventilated at the Christchurch Magistrate’s Court a few days ago (says Truth). It was discovered that services of certain summonses had been delayed. The West Coaster summoned, it was discovered, also held the position of Clerk of the Court, sole constable, and several other minor offices. It is surmised that when he received the summons as Clerk of the Court he found that, as sole constable he had a number of more pressing duties to the general public to perform than admitted of the trouble and delay of serving the summons on himself. Probably his duties are so exacting that, as soon as he has finished as Clerk of the Court he becomes constable, and really never has a chance of becoming one of the ordinary public, save when asleep. It will he a nice point for decision whether the delay in serving the summons was due to his neglect as Clerk of the Court or as constable. The Magistrate considered the matter of such importance that he gavs instructions that the Department should be made acquainted with it. It is not customary that through the local columns of the newspaper an appeal is directly made to readers on behalf of advertisers, and truly nor should it be, but an exception must be made in this instance. The continuous popularity of oyer 70 years has won not only reputation, but unfoitunately for the proprietors and the general public also, a host of imitators of perhaps the most popular tonic stimulant on the market—Wolfe’s Schnapps. These imitations are not all, for as is well known to the agents, many (dishonest, we were going to say, and so they are really) hotelkeepers so doctor or fill Wolfe’s bottles with inferior preparations, that the good repute in which the spirit is held is at once lost, and great damage done to a pure and : wholesome article’s fame and credit. This- not only affects the proprietor of the article, but also the consumers, and it is in the latter’s interests we particularly write, for if they are hoodwinked into purchasing that which they do not want, it were better if they had purchased nothing at all. Therefore it would be wise to have no doubt that the article purchased is the brand asked for, and thus defeat the practices of the unscrupulous and securefor yourself that satisfaction so gratifying to human nature. SANDER and SONS EUOALPYTI EX TRACT, According to reports of a great number of physicians of the hightest professional standing, there are offered Kucalpyti Extracts 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.

Connell, Kansas City, Kans., says —“Care has to bo exercised not to be supplied with spurious preparations, f.s done by my supply druggist.” Dr li. U.
