«A BUSH CREMATION,' a really admirable bush yarn. The dramatic interest and characteristic New Zealand atmosphere of the 'Bush Cremation' will commend itself to all, and it will be generally admitted that two such stories by New Zealand authors have not previously been published. But the most novel and the most important feature is THE COLOURED SUPPLEMENT. In this the proprietors have struck out an entirely new line. A LARGE PICTORIAL MAP, j beautifully executed, printed in sever- j al colours, and covered with numerous picturettea showing1 the scenic beauty or natural resources of the district or country. It shows at a glance what are the characteristics of each particular portion of the colony, and it will unquestionably do more to j clear away the ignorance of New Zealand which prevails to so large an extent amongst our friends across the sea than thousands of letters and descriptions would do. Nothing better for sending away to friends can be imagined, and this attraction alono willl certainly command for the 'New Zealand Christmas Graphic' a record Bale. Public .Notices. ■y\ENOUNCING THE TREATIES." JLJ — To some people this phrase, recently seen in the cables from England, conveys the idea that there is a malediction about Mr Chamberlin's intentions regarding foreign nations. It is not quite so severe as that. It means that he will givo notice that the "most favoured nation" clause they now enjoy In their Commercial Treaty with England will be terminated, and that the colonies ■will be permitted, if they choose, to charge higher duties on foreign than on British goods. For instance, the majority of the pin.no? imported come from tho Continent. Beet sugar is another article, and upon which the German Government pay high bounties, so as to compete with sugars from Mauritius and Queensland. Mr Chamberlln's commercial mind has grasped the fact that In the British Possessions necessaries of life can be grown on British soil without depending on the Continent for sugar or China for tea. China ha 3 recently shown Ingratitude to England by arranging with foreign Powers for railways, and Mr Chamberlln intends to give tit for tat. What he practically says Is—'You foreigners do not know when you are well of£. I'll give the colonies leave to send their produce Homo on Free Trade lines, and enable them to charges extra duties on goods produced outside our Empire. This will give them an opportunity to x-ectprocate with Ceylon, a British colony, where that delightful Suratura Tea is grown. It is without exception the most Invigorating for a tired-out brain the world can produce, and it should be admitted duty free, and a prohibitive tariff put on the production of the Chinaman, and so bind the Anglo-Saxon together throughout the British Empire with something better than mere sentiment." Recollect Suratura Tea la not blended with Indian or China, and that In using that wonderfully economic household reouisite you aro encouraging the PRODUCTION OP BRITISHERS FROM BRITISH SOIL, and not the CHINAMAN FROM CHINESE SOIL.
