Wairarapa Daily Times. [ESTABLISHED 1874.] SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1805. A RADICAL TOUCH.

Ix England under the recent administration the country has suffered a slight experience of Radical legislation, but England, wiser than New Zealand, as soon as it felt tlio sh.oe pinching, turned upon the culprits, Arncent English exchange remarks that the tle.-j.tU of Lord Pembroke affords the first ojjample of the retrenchments which will in future be inevitable when a large landowner dies. The death duties payable by tlio now Earl on the family estates amount to about £IOO,OOO. The result will be the closing of Wilton House for many years, a large reduction in the number of gardeners and estato servants, and the giving up of the home farm; while the extensive sawmills on the estate have been so much cut down that about thirty men liavo already been discharged, Thesb. heavy and practical losses to tlio town of tyiltpn and an extensive district of South Wilts will jjring home vividly to the inhabitants pf that county the blessings of Radical legislation. It is of course vsiy easy to break up largo estates and aiicpstral homes in the interests of a labor party, but somehow, when all is said and done the immediate sufferers are members of the party who are supposed to be benefitted. Wo do not suppose that the children of Lord Pembroke suffered very materially from the heavy death jdues, but over a hundred membora of,

the labouring classes lost their employment, and doubtless this included the absolute ruin of a good many industrial families. Howover this miserable policy of the Radicals is now a thing of tile past in England, although we still have to bear it in New Zealand. We expect, however, November 1896, the duo dato of tlio next general election, will right this Colony in much the same way as England has been straightened out. At Home, every branch of trade and production is flourishing now that the Radicals are dished, and the samo will bo tho case in New Zealand in a little moro than a twelve month, in November.lß96!

Mr J. Devonshire intends placing the services of the well-known thoroughbred stallion, Forerunner, at the disposal of breeders in the Forty-mile liush and Masterton, this comiiy season. Dr. Leslie Phillips warns the " New Woman" against wearing her hair short. The cause of baldness in man, he says, is the fact that lie cuts his hair. In men, tin! hair is habitually cut short from childhood, while in women the converse is universally true. In hoyhood and manhood, by clipping the hair, we remove gently the traction on the imlb and follicle, which the natural weight of the luiir exercises, and which constitutes the essential and natural st imulus to supply the hair-producing structures.

" Time is short!" so the Apostle Paul said, and, indeed, every Salvationist whose soul is fully aliyc to eternal truths realises that it is so. It seems but a few weeks since Ensign aud Mrs Harrison took charge of Maslcrton Corps, and now (hey arc gone. Not many souls have been saved during their term; yet all who know anything about our work here agree that much good has been accomplished, Financially, the corps has benefitted greatly, our barracks looking quite smart with a fresh coat of paint. Then, those new seats. Yes, we have got and paid for them! No more"nincinchcsofagony," of which our 1),0. talkedsomuchduring his recent visit. AVewelcomed Adjutant and Mrs Drew into our midst. May God give us victory. Anion,—Eodkiit Sutherland, S.M. At a recent social gathering in the United States, the chairman proposed this toast" Woman!—once man's superior, now iiis equal." In one of tho .Dutch colonial dependencies, the Island of Java, thpre is the kingdom ol Dantam, which, although tributary to Holland, is still an independent little kingdom, governed and defended by women. The nominal sovereign is a man, but ho is dependent, so to say on his Council of State, which consists of three ladies. All the authorities and ollicials of Court and State, and the soldiers arc wemen. The men arc the agriculturists and merchants only. The king—as in the case of the ruler of Dahomey—has a cavalry body-guard of Amazons, beautifully drilled, and armed with spears and carbines. The throne descends from father to son, and ifthere is no direct heir, ,one hundred of the chief Amazons meet in council, and select a Crown Prince from one of their own sons.

thus writes of a doctor to "Civis" of the Otugo Daily Times:—, " My dear fellow," said my doctor to me,' " you have no idea of what we have to put up with. If I call to see a patient frequently 1 1 am trying to run up a bill if I don't' It is shameful neglect.' If I manage to (jet to church and am called out, Incarafterwards,'Working the Bob Sawyer dodge, on Sundays—cli, doctor f 1 If I am so busy that I cannot go, I am sure to be asked, 1 How is it that you doctors are all atheists ?' If my wife calls on people it is because she is trying to get patients for uio; but i£ she doesn't, it is because she is top up P If I cure a patient quickly I get crcdjt, you say? Oh,dear no! The patient was not lwlf as bad tlio doctor tried to make out i why, he was well in a week ? But on the other hand, should the case develop serious complications/ Ah! the doctor never understood the malady—in fad, lie was worse wlion ho had been taking the medicine a week than when we called him in.' If I suggest a consultation it is only because I don't know what is the matter. If I pooh pooh the idea as unnecessary, it is because I am ashamed of showing my ignorance. I am expected to, so io speak, cast a horoscope on the baby's life, and tell its mother what its ailments will be, If I can't do that I cannot possibly,know very much. I am expected to 'foresee ' tlieiila that llesh is heir to six jnoqtbs before tb'ey come.' I once lost a patient whom' I ha.d treated for bepajisp I did not fopctsll an attack of pbeumijtism, whjcli came three months later. In all cases if tiiey get worse tlio fault lies iu llxo medicine; if they get well'lt is the goodness of Providence,' If I send in my bill thoy say,' He is in a terrible hurry for his monoy;' if I don't,' it is so unbusinesslike.' But we get well paid, do you say ? My dear sir, if I received payment for , oue-]ialf I do I should die from shock,"

A serious occurred yesterday afternoon to a young man named George Stephens, who is employed by Messrs Thompson and Lewis, cordial manufacturers, Lornc-slrecl, Wellington. He was returning from Porirua with a cart load of empty bottles, and when about two miles the other side of Jolinsonvillb the horse shied, the result being that the cart was upset against the bank, Stephens was thrown out, and fell under the horse, and was unable to release himself from his dangerous position. Two brothers named Urodriek, of Tawa Flat, who were working near at hand, went to the spot, and with some diliicully succeeded in extricating Stephens, who was veiy badly knocked about. A spring cart was procured, on which the injured man was placed, and driven into Wellington by William HemyErodrick, who was accompanied to the Hospital by Mounted-Constable Smith. Dr Ewai t states that Stephens, who was sulTcring gieat pain, has received veiy severe internal injuries, but that lie is not in any immediate danger. Stephens is one of the survivors of the wreck of the Wairarapa, aud this is .the second occasion since then that lie has been under treatment iu the Hospital for injuries accidentally received.—N.Z.

The Auckland llmhl slides that a man who had been employed at the late election with a cab bringing women to the polling booth, was very much discontented with his job. He said that the women would not hear of voting unless they were driven to the polling booth in a cab. In the old days, if you brought a man up in a eab, you left him at the polling booth, and lie had to find his way home as best lie could, lint, the women stipulate that yon must wait till (hey have recorded their votes, and drive them home ngain. They do not care la button for the fact that in drviug in a cab to vote, they arc parties to a breach of the law, More than that,if I went to where a man was working,' to take him to the poll, he simply clapped on his hat and came away, iiut with a woman, you have to wait till she changed her dress and does up her back hair. You see her leisurely brushing her tresses while you stand fretting and uttering strong language on the pavement. A good recipe for preserving eggs is the following" One bushel of lime, eight quarts of salt, and 250 quarts of water. Slake the lime with a portion of the water, then add the balance of the water and the salt. Stir well three or four times at intervals, and let it stand uutil well sottled and cold. Either dip or draw off the clear pickle into the cask or vat in which it is intended to preserve the eggs. When the cask or vat is filled to a depth of eighteen inches, begin to put in tho eggs, and, when they lie about one foot deep, spread them over some picklo that is a little milky in appearance, made so by stirring up some of tho very light lime particles that settled last, aud continue doing this as each foot of eggs is added."

Writes a London corespondent " Mr Tennyson Smith, wl|oha° evidently boon working ye'ry hard, and looks a? though a pint of burgundy a day would do him all the good in the world, gave us a call yesterday. He says lie fiitds bis new plan [first adopted in New Zealand) of carrying war into the enemy' 6 country answers much bettor than his old one of merely preaching temperance. By challenging Bung to defend his trade Mr Smith arouses public interest, and though lie lias met some doughty opponents, the meetings in the end generally support the temperance cause. Mr Tennyson Smith is in London this week for the Women's Convention, and created a mild sensation yesterday by announcing that fortyseyen shareholders in a minor metropolitan brew'ery were clergymen. He also camp gallantly to tlio rescue of Mrs Kate Sheppard, of Cbristehnrch, when that lady, speaking onVonjan'ssulfrage, broke down from' nervousness 'in her facts. Later too, Mr Tennyson Sijjitli bore cordial testimony to the value and throughness of Mrs Sheppard's work in Now Zealand. Mr Smith proposes now to takea much-needed holiday, and will not resume tho campaign till autumn,"

"Question Box" and "Spelling Bee" was the order of business, and proved interesting and profitable entertainment, most of the members present, takihgpart. A Scotch law court has decided that a prosecution against certain persons for setting gamo cooks armed with steel spurs to light was not an offence against the Act for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, because a bird is not an animal within the meaning of the Act. The Christian World says, "If a bird is not an animal, it is pretty certain that the law—Scotch law—is an ass." Mr James Stone returns thanks to all who extended sympathy to him in his late bereavement.

The Wellington correspondent o£ the Li/tldtoii Times writes that it is rumoured that the course which the Government will approve with regard to the Estates Company, is that all rural and suburban properties will be taken over by the State, while town properties and all business ventures shall be realised at ouce.
