A BOON TO MOTHERS.

Greymouth Mothers will profit by the Experience of Another.

Among all classes of people we find children suffering from weak kidneys. The intelligent mother knows that this is not a habit and searches for a remedy. It is something very hard to relieve, and the family physician tells her that the child will grow out of it in time. Sometimes tliey do and sometimes they do not. In the meantime annoyance and embarrassment is the result. If anyone knows a remedy, is it not an act of charity, is it not a duty to make it public? Should selfishness or pride keep it concealed? Mrs Coburn, of Greymouth, has used Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills in her family, and makes the following statement for the benefit of anxious mothers and the relief of interesting, little children:

Mrs. Coburn, resides at Leonard street, this town My little grand-daughter has suffered with weak kidneys ever since she was a baby. I tried a good many remedies for it, but none of them did much good until I got Doan's Backache Kidney Pills at William’s Pharmacy some months ago. This remedy started to do her good right from the first and she is now quite well. It is a grand remedy for this sort of trouble and mothers should, lose no time in trying it.” Take no substitute. You should get the same remedy .Mrs. Coburn recommends, Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills. For sale by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s per box (six boxes 16s 6d), or will be posted on receipt of the price by the proprietors, Foster-McClellan Co., 76 Pitt Street, Sydney, N.S.W. But we suie they are DOAN’fe.

The Government yacht Tutanekai arrived m port this morning to load sleepers.

The following are the passengers by the steamer Haupiri which arrived in port to-day:—Misses Foster and Murphy; Messrs Flower, Trooper Vocasivich, Brother Alfred, Lyens, Dearsly, Anderson, Fabian, Wells, Trooper, Jones, P erard, Mackay, Bookman, Clouston, Wylie, Ward and Bennett. “He ought to be in gaol; that is the only place he ought to be in.’’ This is the verdict pronounced in the Legislative Council by the Hon. J. M. Twomey on some one—“an engineer’’—who wrote stating that the gold in a certain dredging claim went 10 grains to the yard, whereas subsequent inspection condemned the claim as worthless. “Some day,’’ said the hon. gentleman, “I may give his name to show what a swindler ho is.” But meanwhile that investment is gone.

One Chinaman is very much like another (to Europeans at any rate), and several members of the House expressed fear last evening that the trips ashore allowed to Chinese crews under the Chinese Immigrants Bill would lead to resident Chinamen impersonating visiting Celestials, and taking their places on board ship. “ Brand them,” was one of the suggestions put forward. While Mr G. W. Russell was speaking on the subject, Mr Gilfedder interjected, “Earmark them.” Mr Russell suggested that Mr Gilfedder be Earmarker-in-Chief. It would be another job for the Government to give away.

People in the Arctic regions can converse when more than a mile apart, because the air being cold and dense, is a very good conductor.

One good trait in the Premier’s character, says Mr Pirani, is that he is always open to conviction when there is a majority against him, and to that he owes his success.

An unusual case came before the Globe (Sydney) Police Court the other day, when Richard B. Wilkins was charged with having challenged Harry M’Connell, of Borwood, to fight a duel. It was stated that the offence was one at common law, and that there had not been a similar charge made against a person inNew South Wales for nearly a hundred years. The evidence showed that M’Conneli received by post a letter purporting to be from Wilkins to meet him at a given time and place, and there fight him. Wilkins was committed for trial on this charge, as well as for libelling M’Conaell.

The Government is being urged by Mr Massey to compensate for the loss of their animals those troopers of the New Zealand contingents who supplied their own horses.

The Hon. Mr Lee Smith hinted, in the course of the debate in the Legislative Council last week, at a recent financial scandal, which might, or might not “come out”—as to that, he could not say. A certain company had been wound up without a special resolution authorising the step, and it was found that in the course of its affairs bad debts amounting to from £15,000 to £2o,ooo—and not worth one-thousandth of a penny in the £ —had been represented at their full value. England has 40,000 policemen.

Only 900 people in 1,000,000 die of old age.

Belgium grows 12,000,000 bushels a year of wheat.

Norweigauseat more potatoes that Irish people, the average being 501 b each a year.

The Prussian Government have spent £1,250,000 in the purchase of collieries rendering the State railways independent of the coal ring. Of the six emergency Chairmen of Committees chosen by the Australian Federal House of Representatives, two are members of the Labour Party-—namely, Mr. Bachc’or (ex-Minister of Labour and Education for South Australia) and Mr Chas. M’Donald (Queensland).
