The Boston Concert Company will appear here on 23rd and 24th. In the Auckland Weekly appears reproduction of a photo of Hawera District High Sohoofcpupils. A northern municipality has been advised by the solicitor to the Municipal Association that members of Fire Brigades are not protected under the Workmen's Compensation for Accidents Act. The Premier (says the Times) made scathing reference to the action of an Auckland Magistrate who declined to punish in a case where some local larrikins were brought up for pelting rotten eggs at a religious congregation. Hehoped thislapße from duty was both the first and last of its kind that would occur in this colony. The prize list for the New Zealand Rifle Association Meeting is based upon an entry of 300 competitors, which should easily be reached, as the abolition of membership fee, reduotion of entranoa»*feo, and free ammunition considerably lessens the cost to competitors as compared with that entailed at former meetings. | The Hawtrey Dramatic Company passed through Bawera on their way to Mow Plymouth to-day. In conversation with members of the Company, we teamed that the reason the Hawera dates was cancelled was because the scenery necessary for the production of "A Message from Mars " oould not be hung at the Opera House. While in Auckland, the company will have a email set for Country theatres prepared, and we will be visited later on. Msmbers of the Company express surprise that no effort is made (by supplying ample stage space) to form a circuit on this coast which would attract big companies. The Post special at Trentham says*: — One trooper was so disappointed because he did not get a sergeant's stripes that he went into town and " pulled a wire " so effectively that he returned to camp with an order to " give this man his stripes." " Well, Bill, how did you get on ? " asked his tent-mateß when he returned. " Oh, I got on all right in town," waß the reply, " but what sort of a time did I have from the 0.C.?" The men were curious to know what happened at the interview with the Officer Commanding the Camp (Captain Bartlett). " Bill " obliged with the story. " Well, when I presented the order, the captain looked me up and down in that Bteely-glitter style. ' So, my man,' he said, • so you've been to see some of your friends of influence in town.' I didn't say a word —the paper spoke for me. • Now, look here/ said the captain, • you know very well that if you had been any good you would have got your stripes. But you loafed around whilst other chaps grafted for their stripes, and they won them on their merits. Don't you imagine that you're going to get on without merit to back you. Tou can go 1' ■ And I went," concluded Bill, " and I'm blest if I know whether I'm going to wear them stripes after all my enterprise 1" "Serve you right 1" was the chorus when the tale was told. PINCHED AND PUNY. Humanity's mad rush for an existence induces many ills. The " eat and run away" method of living is accountable for more of the pinched and puny faces than almost any other cause under the sun. Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Constipation, Sick Headache, Foul Breath, Irritability, and Rervoasness are the everyday ills of everyday people. Nature foretold the strain thatjwe would be compelled. to live under, and has revealed to medical soience and research the correct formula — Impey's May Apple — and itß daily joy is to put back the bloom of health in the faces of thousands who do honest toil.
