SIFTINGS.

Sydney was at one time famous for “scenes” culminating in weird sparring and lurid language in the sacred precincts of the Parliamentary Buildings but for years past members have been on their beat behaviour. This atmosphere of eminent respectability has apparently afl’ected fche nerves of some members. At an all night sitting last month, the Assembly bitterly debated the estimates and the proceedings terminated with Mr Lang, the Opposition Whip, attacking Mr Hall, when the latter attempted to move the closure. A general melee ensued and the contestants rolled on the floor. Members intervened and order was restored without calling in (he police, KEEP THEM HANDY.

Dogs and horses can take ten times as much morphine in comparison to their body weight as man can. The pigeon can take .500 times as much, while a frog is unhurt by a dose a thousand times greater, weight for weight, than one which will kill a human being. VAGARIES OF A COLD.

Many cases ot this kind are on record and valuable articles have been found long after they have been stolen secreted in out of the way places. While Mr J. M. Sage, who resides in Avenal, was digging in his garden the other day he came across thirty-six augers, buried a foot or so beneath the surface, presumably placed there by someone to whom they did not belong and who, fearing the consequences should he attempt to turn them into money, left them where they had been hidden. The augers are about 2ft 6in in length and, judging from their appearance, had been brand new when deposited in the earth. The section was many years ago the site of an hotel known as the “ Governor Grey ” which was for periods imtho occupation of several licenses but since that time the build* ing has been rented by various tenants. PERMANENT RELIEF. Dysentery is of very frequent occurrence during the summer months.

The ’* Agricultural Gazette,” Eng’ land, recommends spraying potatoes with 1 per cent, solution of either Burgundy mixture or Bordeaux mixture, to prevent potato blight. The most successful treatment was found to be spraying with a 1 per cent, mixture before any disease appeared, then using a per cent, mixture in about a fortnight if the disease appears, followed by a 2 per cent, application if the disease becomes persistent. Many English farmers, however, use the 1 per cent, solution all through the season. THE DIFFERENCE THEY MAKE. Each women who is troubled with sick headache, dyspepsia, constipation, and the nervousness and depression which these ailments cause, should take a course of Chamberlain’s Tab lets and see what a difference they make. By relieving dyspepsia they relieve constipation, with its attendant headache and nervousness. This means better digestion, sounder sleep ami quieter nerves.

It is no wonder that during the war Auckland boys dbowtd plenty of dash, judging by the training their mothers have in fighting for seats on tramcars, in the live o’clock rush remarks, the “ Star.” An instance of a woman’s initiative occurred just recently She was determined to get on board the New Zealand, but could not reach the gate owing to the crowd. She had two small children with her, which she managed to squei ze through the iron railing of the fence. Once they were inside the mother scaled the harrier successfully and a goodnatured wharf otlioial, who noticed the incident, had not the heart to turn her out again. DON’T NEGLECT IT.
