A remarkable case of loss of memory is reported from Helensvtlle. A gum-digger, named Foley, had gone with his mate on Saturday morning digging gum, and after the mid-day meal Foley had a short sleep, as was his custom, bat on awakening from bis sleep he bad lost all knowledge of himself or his whereabouts. He had forgotten his name, and did not. know the locality where be bad lived and worked so long. He was taken to his tent, and for days he remained iu that state. The only reply ho would give to questions was "Don't talk to me, I can't speak." Then his memory returned, and he was able to speak with a full knowledge of himself, but from the time of bis sleeping oa Saturday nt mid-day until Thursday morning his ciiud is a complete blank. His mate thought; Foley had lost his reason, and so communicated with the police, but now the man is thoroughly recovered. Half the unpleasantness of travelling is caused by the trouble and annoyance of looking after the luggage. The cheapest and best way to ensure prompt delivery of the luggage without trouble or annoyance is to give it into the charge of J. J. Curtis and Co., Ltd., Forwarding, Shipping, and Customhouse Agents, Customhouse ■ Quay,.' Wellington. Write for further particu-lars.—-Ad vt.
