A " Master Mariner," writing to the Dan»•Jin Star defending shipowners from the charge ot encou-aging (under the rase) Ishipmasters to forse quick rassages, says: Then who is to blame for thesa risks that are taken ? I think some of the travelling public themselves, who so harass and w irry the masters as soon as tbe vessell's speed they are in is reduced on account of , lor etc., by these sort of qu-.stions and innuendoes: " Wh'it ara we stopped for?" " Oh, this means th\t we won't get in this we ; k," " Oaptain, if you don't go on I'll miss ! my train," or The last time I came thu j w.iy Uaptain never stopped for a mist like thi?," etc, Again, these pissen-' gera go ashcre, perhaps, after a leng pas-' sage, and adversely criticise the seamanship of the master. These are the things that harass snd worry a mister, and often make him take risks lie would not otherwise attemp". I would therefore aik these travellers to leave the master alone, resting assured he would not be in the position be is holding if he were uotcipable of filling it, for, b 'litv j me, the master, in a fog or bid i weather, h»s quite enough worry without being hiraS!>od .by his passengers when he is doing his best for their safety. Melbourne despatch of 7'h January arrived in London on the afternoon of the Bth inst.

MacDiarmid, 8.A., baa decided to leave New Plymouth to practice his profession at Hamilton, in the Waikato. Mr MacDiarmid was a High School pnpil, and ! the people of New FlymoatU have watched his progress with pride. His tuccossfal p-ssiogasa solicitor and the 8.A.. degree, and his success as managing clerk in Messrs i Standisli and Kerr'b offica have been followed ■ with interest. Besides his success in his profe.-sion Mr MacDiarmid has always identified himself with organisations having the welfare of his fellow m-u for their abjjot.

AV'im THE KOYAL VISIT. Ahsb exciting times the health of children requires very special looking after. That ' the child is father to the man,' physically as well a- mentally, is one of those truths that can never be too often insisted upon, and the thoughtful parent will be careful' above all to see that her child has the proper nourishment to establish its constitution. A good constitution is a rock on which alone success and strength can be built. Among the various foods that science commends in these days for this purpose, none holds a higher place than Nbavb'S Food fob In-iv-STii and Invalids. According to ttio Ves>. medical testimony, and, what is perhaps better still, the grateful testimony of thousands of hap y mothers, this food conI tains nil the naturral elements of strength, ami while it is pleasant to the taste and | eagerly taken by children, it may also be used by persons of all ages with decidnd benefit. It is a bone-building, health-sns taining product that cannot be too warmly -ecommeuded and we gladly add aar words of praise to that of the numerous medical journals and experts that have recom lendej it. J\have's Food should have a prumineat { place in the dietary of every houst where there are children or invajida,—Advfc. '

Messrs McGarry, of Bltha-n, will sell by auction at their mart on Saturday next, on boha'f of the mortgagee, let 5 of section 2, Elth'im. j Mr John F. Luie writes very indignantly i regarding the coidnct oE a couple of young men, oae of whom delibarately squirted j to-jacco juice on the back of the white dross worn by o.n of two young ladies walking ( i down the street accompanied by a young , man. Our correspondent characterises the onduct of the young, men in very strong | terras, and is equally scathing regarding tbs I young lvlies escort f«r aot chastising tin ofle id?r in ihe manner hj» deserved. Such condtut is certainly very filthy and repre- ' kensiole, and deserving of severe ceosuro. ' Writing from New Plymouth, Messrs Sile Bros, batchers, horse-breakers and dealers, write as follows to Messrs Olapham Bros.: —

Dear Sirs, —We caa with pleasure testify to the efficacy of your Patent Horse Holder. Besides being perfeatly effective it has this merit: it does not take two seconds to apply. Some time ago we were recommended to use this patent, and we fully intended to do so. We delayed a day, however, and in consequence had a smash-up that cost us more than the price of 50 holders. Three days after the a -cident we pnt the sime horse in, using the hoi lor, which gave every satisfaction. We have had no trouble since. We are ge'.ting your patent holders fixed to all out carts, traps, etc., and we strongly recommend their use to every butcher and bak in the district.—Advt.
