DECENTRALISATION.

The leaders of the world have among the problems whioh clamor for immediate solution that of centralisation and its cure. Especially has this evil been felt m the Australian where a city of five miles square holds a population equal to that distributed on millions of sores — where the dog doea not wag the tail so much as the tail waga the dog. What is required is a complete Local Government Act giving the oorporate bodies the power to proceed m local matters and bo wiping out the roads and bridges legislator and troubling the senate with national questions only. The human body is a sublime objeot lesson m decentralisation. The body is a community with one governor, the Beat of life, and so decentralised is he that no one knows his looation, whether it be m the brain, or the heart, or other where. But the governor leaves bis lieutenants to command their own departments. The will obeys itself, the feet walk to the dinner, the hand unfolds tha serviette, the palate does its tasting work, the etomaah does its duty— but here we digress. How many of us give our digestive organs a ohanoe of doing their duty ? We either neglect ourselves grossly or we martyrise ourselves with doses of valueless alleged tonics and cures, simply because they are said to be as good as Warner's and cheaper. It must be insisted that unsuitable and ineffective treatment kills bb many people as does neglect. In either case there is a possibility of rapid transition from simple Dyspepsia into the Complicated Liver Complaint or the awful Bright's 1 iseaee with all their painful association?. We advise every man to treat the " trivial Bymptom" with tried and re* liable medicines such as Warner's Safe Cure Care and Siia Pills, and for Diabetes, now becoming bo common, with their speoifio, Sm'e Diabetes Cure. These remedies have been m constantly-increasing repute for 15 years, and their present success is m keeping with past good results. Quality.— That's the point, for it is a matter of supreme importance m our food, whatever may bo the opinion of other articles of inferior nature when it oqmea to Coffee wo all want the best, 'and the demand for Gbease'u A,l. Coffee shows theunnta. taste, as it is the best obtainable. < pqi "*^

It ia said that so great ia the anxiety as to bad milk and diseased cows m Napier, thai some people have discarded the naa of milk altogether. A gentleman from Feilding, Bays the Star, had his pockets picked of several pounds at the Bulls raoes on Tuesday while he wbb getting up to the tot&lisator. In the manufactures of Great Britain alone the power whioh steams everts ia estimated to be equal to the manual labor of four billions of men, or double the number of males supposed to inhabit the globe. A memorial is to be erected at Stockton-on-Tees, m honor of the late Mr Jobn ■JiTalker, who m 1872 invented the luoifer Hw The sleepießt man m Australia was fined HEgQs a few days back. He was discovered on the railway line, and explained he had put his ear on tha rail to Sod 'otic if the train was coming, and had dosed off. . .. The New Zealand Church News suggests tbat tha General Synod should oonsider the adoption of the title " Archbishop" for the presiding Bishop of an eoolesiaßtioal pro- . vinoe. A miner at Skippers, Otago, fell about 700 feet over a oliff the other night, and got considerably knooked about of course, but landed alive. His moat serious injury was a fracture of his collarbone.
