THE POPULAR BEVERAGE. For Breakfast, Luncheon, Tea, and Supper in all seasons is Oadbuey’S Cocoa. —Comforting, strengthening, nourishing—for old and young, robust and feeble. Cadbcey’s Cocoa is absolutely pure thewofore best. (Adtt.) According to the St. Helena Guardian of the 10th April the British Government appear to be scuttling out of what one correspondent indignantly calls “ Derelict St. Helena, one of the assets of a bankrupt Empire.” He states that “ Captain Meredith, R 8., and a number of sappers are about to leave there, and as they have hitherto had charge of the mountain roads, it is to be assumed that allowing these roads to become impassable is considered a simple and cheap contribution towards the defence of the ■ island. Two seasons of neglect will do I all that is needful. A cartload of flags, I seen yesterday on its way down from High Knoll to Jamestown, was a significant sign, and the flagstaff will cease to announce arrival of steamers and other important events. Ladder Hill is so • called from a flight of 700 wooden steps 988 feet in length, and 602 feet in height, which was built in 1832 at great expense. The following notice published . this week, is suggestive : —“ It is notified for general information that no repairs will be done to the ladder by the Koyal Engineer Department after Ist April, 1890. Persons using the ladder after that date will do so at their own risk.—B. S. Meredith, E.E., Commanding Royal Engineers ” It appears that the British Government intend to form a regiment at St. Helena for local defence purposes, to be raised as militia, and consisting partly of artillery and partly of infantry, under the command of an artillery officer. According to local opinion, unless the regiment is raised almost on the same footing as the old St. Helena regiment, it will exist only on paper. An American Homewardbound ship, requiring four additional hands, was detained at St. Helena for a week, unable to procure them, for all the men who would have been available had gone away booked to the Cape. IS DEAFNESS INCURABLE? J. H. NichoXiSON, of. 175 William Street, Melbourne, has proved otherwise by making a complete cure of deafness and noises in THE HEAD OP OVBE 40 TBAEs’ STANDING, by a simple remedy and without the use of any “ clap-trap ” so called electro-medication treatment. A full description of this remedy, which has cured thousands of other oases of long standing, will be sent FREE on application. The Governor-General of the newly created Transcaspian province has sent invitations to the Ameer of Bokhara and the Khan of Khiva to meet him shortly atTashkend. Two or three years ago this gathering might have caused anxiety in England, but the precautions taken by the British Government since 1886 to guard the Indian frontier render it a matter of indifference whether two or twenty princes meet to discuss how British India may be attacked. Professor Yambery, who was somewhat of a pessimist in regard to England’s power of defending her Indian frontier, is now among the first to acknowledge that the military works of the last two years have made everything secure. Butterballs. —“The proor of a medicine is in the result, though it may also have admirable qualities in the taking,' and we feel bound to testify to the wonderful effects of Jensen’s God Liver Oil, a bottle of which a friend purchased for his ailing children. Much to his astonishment the children took to the cod liver oil as a cat takes to milk, and from a puny consumptive appearance they are rapidly developing the characteristics and consistency of butter balls. — The Temperance World. Each bottle of Jensen’s Cod Liver Oil bears on the wrapper the trademark, an ‘lobbbeg.’ Wholesale Agents; Sharland& Co., Auckland. fAdvt.] Advice Free.—Oonault, personally or by letter, Mrs Louisa Hawkins, herbalist, 140, George street, Dunedin.
