TWENTY YEARS OF CHRONIC INDIGESTION CURED.

The story of twenty years of suffering from the curse of Dyspepsia is here told by a well-known Wellington lady, Miss Mary Carlton, of 102 Wellington Terrace. During her illness she was advised to try RENZIE'S PEPSO. She did so as & last resort, and the effect of the first bottle was really wonderful. Miss Carlton writes:—"l suffered from chronic Indigestion for twenty 'years and tried a great many advertised* remedies. I despaired of ever getting anything to cure or relieve my sufferings. 1 was advised to take RENZIE'S PEPSO, and I reluctantly took one bottle on trial. I am pleased to state that, after one bottle, I felt very much , improved.—Mary Carlton." If you suffer from Indigestion or its . attendant troubles, Aridity, Heartburn, Flatulence, or Nervousness, don't suffer a : : moment longer. A guaranteed remedy is yours without trouble.' Get a bottle of RENZIE'S PEPSO at once and try It. Every bottle Is guaranteed to cure. RENZIEIS PEPSO Is sold by all chemists and stores at 2s 6d per Lotlie.

One queer belief is that if a poor person comes to the village, having slept e'sewhere overnight, he will bring a bad "influence," which will surely result in evil, for the villagers. A long walk before resting in the yillage will sometimes disperse this influence, but the superstition is a very awkward one for the missionaries, who are constantly on the move. Different islands have different superstitions; some are unbelievably cruel and some harmless, but in some form or other they are part of the very nature of the native.

THE ARISTOCRAT OF THE ISLAND

Another interesting feature of native life is the existence of-numerous societies, most of them being of a secret nature, and some being allied to the supernatural. Among the latter is the Great Ghost Society. The Suqe is another great semi-secret society, and a man's social rank is determined by his position in it, while his position in it is determined by the number of pigs he owns. Pigs represent the highest form of currency in Melanesia. Four pigs is considered a high price for-a bride, while in some isiands where women are not so scarce, one pig will suffice.

THE SOCIAL STATUS OF WOMEN.

Melanesian women are regarded as valuable chattels. There are fewer women than men, and a girl'baby is cfien betrothed at birth: The feminine lot is not a particualrly happy one; once married, the woman has very little, say in anything, and soon becomes the mere drudge of the man she has. married. The work of the women missiona-

ries is largely directed toward the, improvement of condition for native women. By intimate understanding and practical help in their stunted lives, better things are slowly coming to pass. For there is much that is good in the Melanesian nature. cruel rites and racial beliefs are. once abolished, the people have been proven noble in character; and firm in their allegiance to "the way of peace," as they term the teaching, of Cltristianity. v

Small inventions cost little to market and are often highly remunerative. But they must be patented.
