er MANNING'S EUCALYPTUS COUGH REMEDY ma}- be obtained jrom Friar Davies and .Co., Ngaruawahia and To Awamutu ; Clifford Bios., Morrinaville ; B. Browne, Matamata; W. Dey, Hamilton East; and \V. Little, Cambridge. A fifteen months old child of Mr Henry Parkrran, a resident of Koondrook New South Wales, bad a sensational experience a few days ago. The child, who ip just able to walk, approached a cow with seme grass, when a dog annoyed tho cow, and sue lowered her head. Raising: it again, the horn penetrated the child's cheek, liftiug her off her feet, and carried her away on its horn. Tho mother searched for tho child, and found tho cow walking away with tho child banging ou the horn. She liberated the little one as quickly as possible. No bones were broken, and tho little child is c'oiug well. The crew of the German barque Zion, which recently reached Philadelphia had a remarkable experience. The cargo of the Zion included 300 casks of arsenic. The fact that arsenic as well as strychnine help the formation of adipose tissue when taken into tho human system in minute particles is well known, and both drugs have become favourite tonics for convalescents. Ou board the Zion the men clept very near the large array of barrels containing the drug. When only a week out from port the crew became aware of the fact that they wire putting on flesh at a rather alarming rate. Some of them, as days went by, became abnormally stout, in vast contrast to the slim appearance which many of them presented before tho land was lcit. One man gained it is said, 251 b. Others were affected to a hss extent, but the aggregate weight put on by the entire craw was littlo less than -iOOlb. Several of the tailors were with ditbculty recognised by their friends in Philadelphia, so great had been the change iu their appearance.
