It may not be generally known that Mr Andrew Carnegie, the Americanised Scotch multi-millionaire, has pensioned off for life some of his old schoolmates. According to the Otago Daily Times one of these recipients of his bounty is said to be a Southland farmer, who is in receipt of an allowance of £2ho a year, and less than two years ago made a trip Home to thank his benefactor in person. A Yorkshire philanthropist has just set a very fine example of real benevolence, which, to our thinking, quite puts Mr Carnegie's benefaction in the shade, as a practical effort in the right direction. He has purchased the entire slum area of the town (Beverley) in which he lives, and handed it over to the Corporation with a view to its being changed into a properly • appointed dwelling district. The shanties and rookeries are to be swept away, and commodious houses substituted, built on the moat approved hygienic principles. An influential English paper, recording the gift, says‘ The example points to a species of philanthropy which cannot be too warmly encouraged, or too widely imitated.’ You can depend on ridding your hildre n of Worms with Wade's Worm Figs, the Wouderfub“Wo rm Worriers. Price, Is. Tradespeople who wish to bring their goods prominently before the Waikato public are informed that The Waikato Arqds is more widely circulated than any other journal in the district, and an advertisement in its columns will be read in almost every home, A great deal of interest has been excited at Home and on the Continent through Investigations recently made by the London Society of Antiquities into the matter of the discovery of Printing. As a result of their researches the Society have discovered that the Chinese were not, as is generally believed, the inventors of the graphic art—in fact the first printer being none other than Adam when he imprinted the first kiss upon the fair cheek of Eve, and, we are given to understand, made a good impression That is the kind of printing which is done at the Waikato Akgus Office, rood printing. Our plant is the moat up-to-date in the district, and most suitable for artistic work. Give ns a trial and yon vt 111 be as well pleased as Eve was.
