The bearing oE the famous* Ariadne case vas continued at Christchurch to-day. Mr O. E. Hugo, the well-known phrenologist, will lecture this evening, in the Oddfellows' Hall, on " Faces." Mr W. Sargeson has kindly lent us a copy of the Johannedburg Gazette, which came to hand from his late son a few days after news of the latter's death reached Hawera. The Gazette contains no war news, in fact little of any description, but the official notices— military and civil — afford entertaining reading.

"Cruel only to be kind." — Much unnecessary suffering is inflicted under the above excuse. If one is not very well, feels out of sorts, has a touch of tbe bile, and experiences an' unpleasant giddiness, one is immediately told to take some disagreeable medicine. It is kindness in the guise of cruelty, we are told. As a matter of fact, disagreeable medicines are no longer necessary. Holloway's Pills and Ointment— the world-famed remedies — will "coon puj one tight, and, moreover, they are pleasant and agreeable restoratives to health. Thousands can attest this, thousands have attested it. For disorders of the stomach and liver, take the Pills : and use the Ointment for gout, lumbago rheumatism, &c. — Advt.
