A gruesome discovery was made on board H.M.S. Powerful last week. A gang of stokers had just been put on to the six to eight watch, and were shovelling coal from out of a bunker which had just been filled by tho previous gang into one next to the furnace. A stoker was diligently shovelling at the full bunker when he struck a soft object. On raching out lie was horrified when he came in contact with a man's hand. He receded such a shock that he fell into the half empty bunker. The body was re-, covered some minutes afterwards, and proved to be that of a stoker named Stephen M. Kirton, aged 40 [ years, a native of Tynehead, Northumberland. He had been a mem- : ber of the four to six dogwatch, and apparently had expired just before being relieved. The ship's medical officer made a post mortem examination, and determined that death was due to heart failure. The Gordon and Gotch Proprietary, Ltd., Wellington, forward us the November number of The Lone Hand. Naturally at this time of year the Melbourne Cup comes in for attontion, Frank Myers contributing some interesting reminiscences o f the great event; while Norman Lindsay has a page of comic illustrations entitled "Cup Day at Bluegumbewabba." G. M. LongInnes writes appreoiatively of the English cricket team now in Australia, giving a much more hopeful account of it than does Mr Jessop. A very instructive article is that on Australia's mineral wealth, by S. H. Prior, while Henry Lawson, Dyson, E . Novell, Randolph Bedford, and others assist in making a very readable number. The Lone Hand, by the way, is endeavouring to find the most beautiful woman in Australia, in order to place her in competition with Miss Marguerite Frey, tho Chicago Tribune's choice among American beauties. Several por • traits of Miss Frey are presented.

TWO SOVEREIGN REMEDIES. , The Famous Sander and Sons' Pure Volatile Eucalypti Extract was proved by experts at the Supreme Court of Victoria to possesss curative properties peculiarly its own, and to be absolutely safe, effective and reliable. Therefore, do not aggravate your complaint by the use of one of the many crude eucalyptus oils which are now palmed off as "Extracts," and from the use of which a death has been reported rceently, Dut insist upon the Genuine Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract, and reject all others. For wrinkles, sunburn, pimples, blackheads, freckles, cracked hands, dry and inflamed skin use Sander and Sons' Superba Skin Pood. No lady should be without it. Allays irritation, produces a clear and spotless complexion, and a smooth and supple skin. Remember that Sander and Sons' Superba Skin Food is not an ordinary face cream, and unlike any of them, produces a permanently beautifyinc effect. Chemist 3 and stores. Just lauded.

There are over a thousand entries for the Marlborough A. and P. Show which takes place on the 19th and 20h rust. There is an increase in the horse classes, which arc excellently filled, a slight decrease in Merinos. For the grain classes there are largo entries and the award for barley will be keenly contested. A correspondent writes:—'' A few years ago . the Church of England minister, resident in Huuterville, used to visit Rata every three or four weeks and hold an afternoon service in the schoolhonse.

The members of Mr Allan Hamilton's new Dramatic Company played "Home, Sweet Homo" to a fair audience at Mart on last evening.

A wellknown resident has just completed a 21 days' fast; another, a native weighing over 22 stone, in a very bad way from dropsy and other complications, is in his 27th day of fasting, and has very much improved in health. A third is in his 48th day. The last had light refreshments on the 43rd day, but is now continuing his fast, and says ho is much improved in health. Our Sand on correspondent writes : —The district is looking very healthy and prosperous after the short spell of fine weather. A steady rain set in on Sunday night which has tlie appearance of continuing. There will not be mncli grain "harvested this year owing to the excessively wet weather experienced in tho early part of spring. Some farmers are only now starting to plough their land, which will mean that they can only pst in fattening crops. In the debate on the Public Works Statement Mr Massey complained that the Estimates were brought down too late to enable local bodies to complete works before the wet season. Ho pointed out that less money than usual had been allotted for roads and bridges. The [Premier stated that in order to bring down the Estimates earlier the" session would have to begin in February, and said that the amount, £554,551, set aside for roads and bridges was, with the exception of two years, tlie"highest for 21 years.

The Minister for Railways has informed the member for Rangitikei that the long desired loading platform will be erected at Rata°station. This will bo a great convenience to the residents, who at times have heavy articles to load and unload. The Rata station and yard have lately been subject to considerable alterations. The old station building at Utiku has been pulled down, reerectod alongside the Rata station and will be used as an office for the tablet system, which will shortlv be installed. The station yard has been made wider, and two lines of rails will be laid, so that goods and other trains can cross when required.

By allowing yourself to become constipated you are slowly and surely poisioning yourself. When the bowels perform their work they expel all poisonous matter, but when yon allow yourself to become constipated you absorb all this poison into your system, thus laying the seeds of many diseases. Some of the signs of self poisoning are headache, backache, languidness, weariness, melancholy, furred tongue, pasty complexion, loss of appetite, etc. Tho safest antidote to such poison is Chamberlain's Tabelts. These Tablets stimulate the liver and bowels to act naturally and gently. In doing so they cleanse the stomach and purify the Wood. For sale by T. H. Bredin, Co-op. Stores, Marton, and D.
