Export of Mutton Birds Tasmanian shippers, as an experimcnt are exporting a. consignment of mutton birds to the United Kin.gdom : by the steamer Largs Bay (says the Melbourne Age of August 18). But they are not amongst the followers " of the poet who, in the world's great- • est love tragedy, asks contemp'tuously "What's in a name?" They firmly believe, and they are prohahly right in so believing that there is a great deal in a name. So the birds known here as mutton birds, under which name they have never won great populari'ty, will be exported under the far more appealing name of Tasmanian pufiins, or alternatively, ocean duck. By those who have a taste for the birds, it is claimed for them that they" are partieularly rich in vitamins, calcium and iodine.
Goliath was slain by a stone from a sling, A primitive means to achieve such a thing; And giants uncounted have ended their terms, Reduced to despair by invisible germs. Despise not your dangers whatever your skill, The sting of the spider a lion may kill. LL For germic infection protection assure — Remember Woods' Great Peppermint Cure.
