A northern delegate to the Counties Confcreneeat Wellington thus unburdened himself : “ Let us have a ‘go ’ at motorcars and the monomaniacs or motormaniacs who drive in them, 'ihej' go so fasl, that if you wink your eye they are out of sight, so eager aie they to make records. Ihe fellows with those blinkers on—the chaps who drive—don’t seem able to see anything through those blinkers. I’ve timed them myself, and I’m prepared to swear to 45 miles an hour. I suppose if those chaps who drove at that rate went into j the box they’d swear it was only j ten miles. They’re dangerous.” A motoring delegate from Pahiatua said there was only one car in the colony that could travel over forty tuiles'an hour. The Northerner; “ Thai’s the one I saw !” (Shouts of laughter.) The difference between then and now in regard to the giving of invitations is emphasised by Mrs George Cornwallis West, who is contributing a series of articles on “ Social London” to the ‘‘Gentlewoman.” The carefully worded, beautifully written invitation of fifty years ago is, she says, dropped in favour of the generally garbled telephone message, such as: — “ Will Mrs S. dine with Lady T., and bring a man ? And if she can t find one she mustn’t come, as it would make them thirteen.” Or a message to the club: —“Will Mr G. dine with Lady T. to-uight ? If not, will he look in the cardroom and see if any of her lot are there, and suggest somebody ?” Mr Churchill, in his remarkable speech at Edinburgh, referred to the demand for preference which had been made at the Colonial Conference, and which was repeated day by day with strident clamour by the Tory party and the “pothouse” press wLcih supported them. (Laughter and cheers.) They were told that the Government had “ banged the door.” Well, upon what had they hanged the door ? They had banged the door upon Imperial taxation of food. (Cheers.) Yes, they banged it, barred it, and bolted it. (Cheers.) It was a good stout door of British oak, and the largest Liberal, Radical and Labour majority ever seen in the House of Commons had their backs firmly against it (Cheers.) That door would never be opened, not a chink would ever be opened, so long as Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-nerman was made the national hall porter. (Loud cheers.) The Liberal party stood like a rock between the hard-working masses and all who would exploit their food supply and squeeze some shameful little profit out of the scanty pittance of the weak and the poor. (Loud cheers.) Popular or unpopular, in office or in opposition, that was the line on which they fought. They would not concede one inch, they would not give one farthing preference on a single peppercorn. (Laughter and cheers.)

DEATH HATE DEGREASED. The Chicago Tribune, in a recent article on what medical science has been aide to accomplish for the benefit of humanity, drew particular attention to the one great fact that .stands preeminent in the light of reliable statistics, viz., that the deathrate of the world has. through its agency, been positively decreased One of the chief factors in this decrease is the marvellous success which is nowadays attained in the treatment of that fatal type of disease classified under the heading of “ Lung Troubles.” This is accomplished by the use of Dr Sheldon’s New Discovery for Goughs, Golds, end Gonsunmtion. Modern medicine.can point to no more marvellous achievement than the perfecting of this grand, unfailing, specili; cure, which can be relied on to save the lives of all who tike it in time.
