Mr. W. Reed wishes to thank Mr. Booth and the Maori Entertainers for their ready response in giving an entertainment in aid of the widow’s fund and also for the splendid result attained. Housing difficulties are not unknown, it appears, on the other side of the Atlantic, judging by the following advertisement which has just reached me (says a writer in the Daily News) from Los Angeles, California: “Wanted to rent, 4 or 5-roomed house, moderate rent. If children objected to, will drown ours.” “I think,” -said a visitor to Now Zealand, “that railway travel in the Dominion is the worst in the world, and pi’ohahly the most dangerous to health. I refer not only to the general state of uncleanliness, both in the carriages and the lavatories, hut to the positive discomforts one is subjected to on the Main Trunk lines in winter if one cannot book, or cannot afford to pay for a sleeper. There are railways in South Africa that are palatial compared to those in New Zealand, and those in Australia are positively luxurious compared to what is offered in New Zealand. In most cold' countries the carriages are treated to a pleasant—sometimes in America to an unpleasant degree of warmth—and sleep is made possible thereby, but on keen wintry nights on the Main Trunk people have to move about a bit to prevent themselves being frozen. Why people in this country do not agitato for reform in your railways has mystified others as well as myself.” Start early; prevent chilblains this winter. Take “Bhunoff” and remove tho cause.* Petroleum Emulsion, with Hypopboaphites of Lime and Soda, 2s and 3s fid, at Eraser’s Pharmacy. Parents!
