A group of 'cockatoos' in South Australia petitioned the Government for a mail bag, which one of them who ran a small store, agreed to deliver and fetch from the nearest postal township, 18 miles away. A bag was sent accordingly; but seven weeks passed anditwas not returned, so the head office wro'e to enquire about it, and received this reply: 'The mail kum all right; she is hanging on a nail in back store, but not half full yet. Maybe I will be riding into Yelta next full moon and will bring her along.' SANDER & SONS' EUCALYPTI EXTRACT-Under the distinguished patronage of his Majesty the king of Italy, awarded Diploma at the International Exhibition, Amsterdam. Acknowledged by Medical Clii.ic3 and Universities all over the globe. That the crude, resinous oils, which are now foistered upon the public under the name of Eucalypti Extracts, may not be mist; ken for our Pure Volatile Eucalypti Extract, we state :—lt is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics oi the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald (Prussia), that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other Biibstances adherent to primary distillation, will develop the curative properties possessed by the plant. All crube oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, which are used for mechanical purposes only and abandoned long ainco as an internal medicament, are difcernablo by : 1— Their deficieucy in pungent odor (which our product, the only genuine Eiicalypti Extract, develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen) 2—Their alcoholic, thin, and mobile appearance, being reduced in specific density, through the presence of acids. 3 - Their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tannates. To avoid the appalling consequences resulting from their application in croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, dysentery, internal inflammation, etc, insist in getting SANDER & SONS' PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, and be safe.

' The collection for the heathen last Sunday,' said the minister, ' was very gratifying. We got a dozpn shirt buttons, If the congregation will kindly put a few shirt? in the plate this morning to go with them, no more can be expected of them.'

Dysentery causes the death of more people than small pox and yellow fever combined. In an army it is dreaded more than a battle. It requires prompt and effective treatment. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and diarrhoea Remedy has been used in nine epidemics of dysentery in the United States with perfect success, and has cured the most malignant cases both of children and adults, and under the most trying conditions. Every household should have a bottle at hand. Get it to-day. It may save a life. G. W. Hutching, chemist, Balclutha, sells it. A boy in the office of a self-made business man, when receiving his salary one week, asked for a rise. ' What is your age!' he was asked. ' Fifteen, sir,' replied the boy. ' And your present salary!' 'Twelve shillings a week, sir.' ' Why,' said his master, * when I was your age I was not get ing nearly so much as you arnow.' 'Perhaps you were not worth more,' the boy quickly answered. He got his rise.
