A Dunedin man relates an occurrence in connection with the Duke of Edinburgh's vis.it to New Zealand. It happened up north. The Duke was a. violin player, and therefore interested in violins, and, while looking; through a collection owned by a wealthy settler, his attention was drawn to a very old and valuable instrument, which he handled .and praised. Next day the owner sent the instrument abroad the Galatea, with a request that His Royal Highness accept it as a memento. His proposition was accepted, bub the acceptance was accompanied by a cheque for £SO or threabouts. There is, or was. it seems, some procedure in the giving of presents of money value to Jloyal pev.sonags, and of this the giver was unaware. As a fact, this violin was worth six or eight times £SO in the ooen market, but the narrator isay.s that those to whom the circumstances became known did not blame the Duke for sending the sum stated, the general view of the matter being that the. offer put the Duke in a fix, as he 'had to make a compromise between refusing and making it a purely commercial transaction. IT STARTED IN DUNEDIN. A SCOTCH TRAIT.

About fcur years ago Messrs A. and W. Baxter, the well-known chemists of Christchurch, had a request from a Dunedin mother that they should put up Baxter’s Lung Preserver in a lar-ger-sized bottle. Although admitting that the half-crown bottle represented splendid value she stated that where there was a large family it was quickly used up and she wondered if a bigger bottle could not be sold. The economical family size of “Baxter’s” at 4/6 was the result. The first winter there was a surprising demand for the new package from all over Otago and Southland. The following year supplies were sent out to other parts of the South Island, while two years ago isolated orders came trickling in from the Wellington and Taranaki districts. Now, the family size is in general demand throughout the Dominion, and the other day a heavy order for the 4/6 size came from an Auckland warehouse.

In any home, and where there are children particularly, the 4/6 bottle of “Baxter’s” is recommended. It not only ensures a plentiful supply against the winter ravages of .coughs and colds, btit it represents better value. Baxter’s Lung Preserver is Unrivalled .as a cough and cold medicine. It stops hacking coughs, eases sore threats and soothes chest and bronchial complaints in a surprising manner. You can feel it doing good from the first dose, “Baxter’s” is a rich, red, warming compound that is palatable to old and young alike. Prom North Cape tc Bluff, and even on Stewart. Island, it is the general favourite. Obtainable from .all chemists and stores at half-a-erown for a generous-sized bottle, or if von would emulate the canny Dunedin folk ask for the economical family size at 4/0. —0
