There are 20,000 to 25,000 men gathered around the gates, for the earliest there gets the first ohance. A man appears and calls out for so many. Then begins a literal fight for life. Arms and ribs have been broken in the struggle. For what ? For work that until a few months ago paid four or tour and a half pence per hour. Surgeons say that more than 60 per cent, of these men are injured by accidents. The work needs strength, and many are faint from hanger.

Will members keep their work "steadily in view," or mil they do it ? In tbe dire event of another " Stonewall" we would counsel members to first pay a visit to Te Aro House. We have some things that would make even a " stonewall" endurable. M'Lintock's soft purified down quilts, ot which we have just opened a Eplendid variety, in all sizes and qualities, from 18s 6d to five guineas, would be invaluable requisites. Our Austrian, Newinark.te and Andalusian railway rugs from 7s 6d to 21s should be equally in request, and after having served their tomporary purpose would bo of great use to members on their return journey, and would, in their homes, bo pleasing mementos of Te Aro House.

As farther adjuncts to repose during tho i weary flow of words, we would recommend our superior blankets, bb being unnvallod in the colony for either size or valuo. Our prices range from (is lid to 50a per pair, and we can guarantee their sleep producing qualities, no matter who "orates," Members of the House and their masters, thepublio, would do well to note these facts, as set forth by Te Aro House.—Apvi.
