He was a member of an old and respected family, many of whom have been remarkable, in modern as well aa ancient times, for their prowesß and culture as athletes and scholars. Excepting a little deafness, he retained his faculties to the last, and often conversed on the stirring events of 90 years ago.

Land for Military Purposes— The War Office has purchased about 18,000 additional acres on the Kilworth Mountains, County Cork, for an artillery range.

Morrow, Bassett, and Co.-/, Tussicura, Wild Cherry Pectoral Balm, the famous remedy for coughs, bronchitis, asthma, and consumption, has the largest sale of any throat and lung medicine in New Zealand. Those who have taken this medioine are amazed at its wonderful influence. Sufferers from any form of bronchitis, oough, difficulty of breathing, hoarseness, pain or soreness in the chest, experience delightful and immediate relief, and to those who are subject to colds on the chest it ia invaluable, as it effects a complete cure. It is most comforting in allaying irritation in the throat and giving strength to the voice, and it neither allows a cough or asthma to become chronic nor consumption to develop. Consumption has never been known to exist where coughs have been properly treated with this medicine. No house should be without it, as, taken at the beginning, a dose is generally sufficient, and a complete cure ia certain. Beware of coughs. Remember every disease has its commencement, and consumption is no exception to this rule. Obtainable from Messrs. Kempthorne, Prosser and Co., Limited, and all merchants throughput the Colony. Price, 2s 6d.— %*
