The other day Levin was thorwn into a state of excitement when a report was spread that a dangerous lunatic was at large at the southern end of the lake. Report had it that this man had rushed about digging up the ground with his hands and hewing down manuka, and walking about with a slasher, inquiring for various natives, and looking generally dangerous. One individual said that the man got a pole, planted it in the ground, and then tore off his shirt and made a flag of it. A young man, staying at the beach, was so alarmed that he did not venture out that night, and p,erhaps would have been in hiding still had it not been for the fact that the "lunatic" turned out to be a harmless surveyor, who was looking for old pegs, and had erected a flag to work by. His idea in asking for Maoris was to find the pegs and get a little information as to the work of his predecessors.

I know- hundreds of people who never attempt to get rid of their winter cough. "Oh, when the hot weather comes, it will go," they say; "in the meantime it is not very bad." If they only knew it, by the neglect of their cold this winter they are laying themselves out for one next winter, and perhaps a life-long illness. A cold lowers the vivality of the system, and .while in this weakened state you are open to develop consumption, bronchitis, and other similar ills Be advised and look after your cold; it simply means a few doses of Baxter's Lung Preserver which you can get at 1/10 a bottle at your storekeeper.
