There is a great dearth of shearers in South Canterbury this season; in fact, there is a shortage of both machine and blade hands, from Dunedin to Christchurch (says -the Timaru. Post). This is mainly attributable to c© few Australian- sheaiera hairing, come over to New Zealand on account of the strike, but is also contributed to in a large measure by. the wet weather which has prevailed all over the South Island lately. „ ' • :■ \ as tnere na'/» Deep several accidents of late with lifts in Melbourne, the Government purposes .to ' introduce legislation , which will make for '^he» greater safety of the public. Briefly, the ordinary commercial lift will be subjected to the same stringent tests that now obtain in the case of mine lifts. Not only will the ropes be tested, but the safety-grip appliances also. There are 2000 lifts in Victoria, and they are each estimated to carry an average of ]JOO people a day, so that the need for making ample provision for the safety of the public is obvious. " i . ACTJDENT TO RAILWAY MAN. FOOT INJURED BY HAND-CAR. . "My husband recently met with a most distressing accident, when he was working on the railway," writes Mrs G. Bowman, Thosby street, Wickham, Newcastle, N;S.W.' "He had the mislortune to have a hand-car pass over his foot, which cut right through the shoe and caused a nasty wound. He was quite crippled from the accident, and the foot bled frightfully. He was compelled to walk about seven miles through the bush before he could get 1 anything for it. He then got a bottle of Dr Sheldon's Magnetic Liniment, which he pouied over the wound, and it at once stopped "the bleeding, and took out all the pain. He continued to use this Liniment for about four days, and although the wound had been terribly sore it healed it and reduced all the inflammation and entirely cured it." Magnetic Liniment is sold at Is 6d and 3s. Obtainable at W. K. Wallace. —Advt.» Men—have you tried the new MEDIUM STRENGTH tobacco—BONN fF, "^ON Like the old song its rich mellowness has a charm and fascination'that always'lingers with the smoker. In plugs
