WHAT IS A COUGH?

A spasmodic effort to expel the mucus from the bronchial tubes. A cold causes a more abundant secretion of. mucus, and when the lungs and bronchial tubes are inflamed, they are extremely sensitive to the irritation. . Unless care is taken, the cold may result in pneumonia, which is swift and deadly. If the cold is a lingering one, the more leisurely but equally fatal consumption may set in. Do not neglec} a cold or cough. Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It always cures and cures quickly. A. Manoy sells it.

Miss Day, a young lady living in the Waikato. with 200 Minorcas on less than two acres of land made a nett profit of over LSO in a year; Mr Williamson, of Levin, makes L 5 a week nett, as shown by his books (says >lr Hyde). Horses always point one ear forward when they sleep. Exactly why this is done no human being can tell, but the probability is that the practice is. a relic of the,time when they were obliged to be oh guaud, even when slumbering. A lad named Mowbray, 13 years of met with a very painful accident in Oamaru last week. Climbing up some large bouldtirs on the beach, one was dislodged, weighing from two to three tons, and pinned the poor little fellow by the legs. Through the neglect of a companion to go and tell the father, as requested, he was kept like this for some hours before assistance wa.s finally reudered. when the boulder was removed with a crane. The lad, who re-, mained quite cheerful, and bore up pluckily, has had one leg amputated. The neglect of his companion to convey his message and wave him several hours of torture can only be characterised as exceedingly culpable.

The story of a diverted bride comes from Mangaweka to the Manawatu papers. Two young people there had fixed the wedding day, bought the furniture,-' and secured a clergyman and best man. The last came all the way from the South Island (he was a school chum of the expectant husband) to attend the ceremony.- Shortly before the marriage day, the trio set out. for Wanganui to make some purchases. The imminent bridegroom left the train at Mat-ton, and placed the lady -in charge of the impending best man until he should come on by. a laiier train. On the journey the friend fell in love with the lady, and begged a transfer of her affection to him. He secured it, and the casual- pair wedded at Wan-i ganui. They aie now spending a honeymoon in Auckland, and the deserted one lusts for blood or law.

Thus Lord Wolseley : —"The properstudy of the officer is the private soldier, for unless he is thoroughly, in touch with his men, neither the captain of a company nor the commander of an army corps can ever expect much from those under him." And again: "Highly ffe I value the study of war and its >Qie,nce, and much as I urge it'upon all* ■who .would be leaders of men, I am bound to acknowledge that the man with no great imaginative faculty can never be worth much as a commander in the field."
