'Banjo 1 ' Paterson, tho Australian war correspondent and lecturer, was an interested' spectator of the riding test's of the sqborne candidates for places in the_ Sixth Contingent;, Ho was mildly critical of tho methods employed, pointing out that ono of the chief essentials is .that tho. troopers should bo able to mount and dismount rapidly when under fire, and better than jumping the horses over stiff ■ hurdles, , which the animals might or might not have been able to negotiate, would it have been to let a packet' of crackers oil under the JiorseF,. and to have told the candidates to mount and dismouut, carrying their rifles with theinin.a soldierly maimer. .

i Is It EiGra For an Editor to Eccommeud Patent 3 Medicines? - Prom Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, . N.O. . It may bo a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the varioiK proprietary, medicinas which flood the market, yet as a preventive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our family for 20 years, and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy wouljl save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implicitly on any medicine for.a cure, but .we do believe that if a bottleof Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at tho inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided, and in very many cases tho presenco of a physician ■would not bo required. At least this has been our experience during tho past twenty years. For sale by E. G. Lane, Chemist, Oamaru. Tempero's Great New Century Clcar4th Sale Commences on Friday, January ing.
