Two Auckland youths have suffered blood poisoning in the last- few weeks as the result of spider bites (states the Star). In Both cases, it is stated, the spiders were an imported species that arrived in packages of goods. Accustomed from their experience with New Zealand spiders to regard the insect a harmless thing, neither of the youths feared any harm from the innocentlooking spiders that came from abroad. Q'ne of them , was bitten on the leg and the other'on the arm. The last-men-tioned was an employee of a firm of importers. He was unpacking a. case of whiskv when he noticed a nest of little spiders, like miniature daddy-long-legs. brown in colour, among the straw. Not regarding them -as t dangerous, lie allowed one at least to get ' oh liis arm ; and the result, though it caused him no pain at the time, was a bite, similar to that cf a mosquito, which soon caused a painful swelling and led to a. minor operation. i An American who has not been long in. the Dominion, speaking at Auckland of the recent hold-up of a bank manager at Newmarket, says that one of the things which Has surprised him here has been the loose way money is sent to the bank to be lodged by various business ' people. The money is often carried quite loosely in the hand, and only a day. or two ago he saw a young girl go into, a tearoom and lay what looked a big suin'of money on the table while, she enjoyed her afternoon tea, after which she turned her back ; ±o the table, where the money was lying, to adjust her hat and put a little powder on her face, and then went to complete her iob of banking; the money. If some of • the American crooks knew such laxity existed a few of them _ would come* across to try and reap a big harvest. In all his travels he had. never seen more free and easy banking methods than we have in New Zealand. BILIOUSNESS. Vi ' Why do men and women go on suffering from biliousness when speedy relief from their trouble can be effected by- a course of Chamberlain’s Tablets? Biliousness arises from failure on the part of the diver to perform, its functions properly. This condition can be speedily righted by Chamberlain’s Tab-, lets, whose effect on the liver is nothing short: of marvellous. A course of Chamberlain’s Tablets, will quickly clear off the* excess bile which causes biliousness; at the same time stimulating the liyer to normal activity, thus freeing the patient from future attacks.—Advt.
