" Men are so unreasonable 1" exclaimed a ' much tried wife. " Here's my husband can't drink bad coffee at breakfast withont abusing me, and yet he'll drink bad whisky all day and never think of abusing the bar-maid." A work is about to be issued, under the auspices of the Union Steam Shipping Company, called "The Southern Guide to the Hot Lakes and Spring Districts of the North Island," and will contain all possible information as to the route to be taken by travellers visiting that wonderful locality, full particulars as to steamer fares, road charges, dates ot arrival and departure, sanitary properties of the various springs, and in short, everything which.could be found useful by tourists. The Otago Witness has found out why we import so much Tasmanian jam. It is all the fault of the larrikins. Saya a writer in that organ;— " Every now and then during the silly season we have a round of abuse at the larrikin nuisance, then for the other six months of the year we all try and whitewash the youth of Dunedin. Ido most cordially agree with that man, woman, or child who wrote to the Star, complaining that his flowers got themselves stolen right under hi 3 nose. The truth is that Dunedin is compelled to import quantities of jam from Tasmania simply .because youthful larrikinism has rendered it impossible to grow fruit here. 1 I know more than one garden where lot 3of fruit used to be grown, but where it has been 1 altogether given up, solely and only because the young thieves of the neighborhood really stole every apple and gooseberry with such surprising regularity that the heaa of the house didn't see it." Holloway's Ointment and Pills. Diseases of the skin, ringworm, scurvy, jaundice, scrofula or kings evil, sore heads, and the most inveterate skin diseases to which the human frame is subject, cannot be treated with a more safe and'eertaiu remedy than Holioway's Ointment and Pills, which act so peculiarly on the constitution and so purify the blood, that those diseases are at once eradicated from the system, and a lasting cure obtained. They are equally efficacious in the cure of tumours, burns, scalds, glandular swellings, ulcerous wounds, rheumatism, contracted and stiff joints. These medicines operate mildly but surely. The cures effected by them are not temporary or apparent only, but complete and permanent.
