TWO SOVEREIGN REMEDIES. Tho Famous Sander and Sons’ Pare Volatile Eucalypti Extract was proved by experts at the Supremo Court of Victoria to possess* curative properties peculiarly its own, and to be absolutely safe, effective and reliable. Therefore, do not aggravate) your complaint by the use of one of the many crude eucalyptus oils which are now palmed off as “Extracts.” and from the use of which, a death Las boon reported recently, cut insist upon the Genuine Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract, and reject all others. For wrinkles, sunburn, pimples, blackheads, freckles, cracked hands, dry and inflamed skin use Sander and Sous’ Superba Skin Food. No lady should bo without it. Allays irritation, produces a clear and spotless complexion, and a smooth and supple skin. Remember that Sander and Sous’ Superba Skin Food js not an ordinary faco cream, and unlike any of them, produces a permanently beautifying effect. Chemists and stores.

From advices received ontsido of Dunedin,

stocks are also low everywhere. Dunedin booksellers are forwarding a protest to the Minister of Customs against the duty on Weldon’s Ladies’ Journal. It is alleged that the journal is mainly used by mothers of families as an aid m home dress-making, and the dutv is consequently a tax upon the axssemination of useful knowledge.

The new Classification Bill, which was placed before Parliament last week, lias not been received with favour amongst tho members of the Auckland section of the railway service; in fact, the very strongest dissatisfaction is felt.

Tho timber in most cases now is quite rotten, and a hammer may often be thrust through the side of a house without much chord.

At the meeting of Auckland Board of Education it was stated that bu schools in Auckland district had been seriously affected by epidemics during tho past two quarters.' Ihe attendance at several schools had been affected by over ton per cent. The Board resolved to urge the Minister of Education to amend the
