THE BEST TREATMENT FOR CHOLERA INFANTUM.

" Our baby has been continually troubled with colic and cholera infantum since his birth, and all that we could do for him did not seem to givemore than temporary relief, until we tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoja Remedy Since giving that remedy he has not been troubled. We want to give you tin's testimonial as an evidence of our gratitude, not that you need it to advertise your meritorious remedy. — G. Jl. Law, Keokuk, lowa. For sale b} r E. ]).

The several afternoon tea gatherings in Dannevirkc are somewhat cold just now (says the I'ahiatua. Herald). It appears thai a section of the young ladies of that go-ahead township decided upon a monster picnic for New Year's Day. There was no (litlicnlty whatever in getting a sullidunt number. At a final meeting, held on the (evening of the -Slh, a resolution was moved by a building new unman, "That married women be not allowed to attend the picnic.'' In moving the resolution, tho speaker was charmingly fiauk. She said the girls for the Ih^t diy ol the New Year .should ha\e the boys all to themselves, and married v.omen always spoilt ;i .show. She for one was determined that only single people should attend. A long .md angry discussion followed, but eventually the motion was carried. Several young ladies therefore refused to grace the gathering. However, the picnic was held, and it was a great success. "Tho Christnmstide spectacle Sydney has just witnessed," writes the Australian Star, " has been an object lesson of a very impressive character. Nearly 3000 men, the majority of them able-bodied, were glad to accept the dole of public charity oll'eied to the poor of our young city in the shape of painting park railings ; the ehaiitabio institutions had their hands full in dispensing aid to the deserving poor during the season of goodwill ; and probably hundreds of families, despite all the efforts of Government and charitable institutions, went without Christmas dinner in IS9S. From all this there is one sad lesson to learn — that poverty is marching ahead of the times, and gaining on our social conditions every year. We have in the past prided ourselves upon being free of poverty, as it is known in older countries. A little temporary hardship — perhapsnfew isolated cases of really poor people — we cheerfully admitted ; but poverty .is the world knows it in its broader sense was unknown in New South Wales. No longer, however, enn one's eyes remain closed to the fact that there is growing in our midst a poverty-stricken contingent who find it absolutely impossible to obtain anything approaching permanent employment."
