Business Chasoiis.— Mr Wilkin, agent of tho Loan and Mercantile Compnny at Wuimate, has been appointed ngent for that Company at Fiji, and will shortly remove from Wnimnte to his new appointment. Ab Secretary of tho Waimate Agricultural and Pastoral Association, Mr Wilkin will be greatly missed, particularly so on account of tho coming annual Show. Theatre Royal —Mr Fred. Crook, the popular lecturer, delivered m the Theatre Royal last evening another of his very interesting and instructive lectures. ' The sparsencss of the audience was no doubt owing to the threatening aspect of the weather, but though small it was most appreciative. The lecturer chose as his subject " Progress and prayer, or the law of necessity," and spoke at some considerable length on it. Progress, he said, was essentially due to necessity, for without necessity there would have been no progress. Licensing. — Tho quarterly meeting of the Levels Licensing Committee was held at the Courthouse at noon on Saturday. There were present Messrs E. Gr. Kerr (Chairman), C. R. Shaw, W. C. Fendnll, and Alexander Mee. Tho police report on the licensed houses m the district was read. It stated that all the hotels were being well conducted, aud there were no complaints or convictions against tho licensees. A transfer of tho license of the Arowhenua. Hotel from W. O'Driscoll to Michael Scannell was granted, the police reporting that during the time the applicant had been holding under a temporary transfer there had been no complaints. That being all the business the Committee rose. Oue Volunteers. — Government parades of the town corps wero held on Thursday and Friday evenings. Owing no doubt to its being holiday time, the muster were not so good as usual, tho Narals nnd Artillery each mustering between 40 aud 50, nnd the' Rifles about 70 on both occasions. The night being dark each corps was inspected at it< own headquarters by Lieut.-Colonel Bailey. On Thuisday evening the Billes were divided into two companies and exercised at battalion drill m Messrs Maclean and Stewart's Horse Bazaar, and on Friday after inspection they had a march out headed by the Garrison Band. The Artillery were inspected m gun drill the same evening. This Wbatuek.— On Saturday a nor'wester blew throughout the day, and besides being very dry and parching, attained some degree of violence. In tho evening the wind shifted round to N.E., and between 8 and 12 o'clock, there was almost a constant play of lightning m the N.E. and N.W. Yesterday it shifted round to the South, and the weather becume quite cold and winterly with some appearance of rain, which is very much wanted around Timaru. On Thursday night, we hear, there was an exceedingly heavy downpour m the Mackenzie Country — m fact the heaviest that has been observed for a long time past. Ihe sky here at the same time looked very threatening, and flashes of lightning were visible m the direction of the hills, but only a few spots of rain fell. Report on High School. — The Parliamentary papers on Secondary Education this year present a novelty m the shape of short reports by the Inspector-General of Schools on the various High Schools of the colonyIt is gratifying to note that the Timaru High School is about the only one m tho list that escapes somo kind of criticism. The report is as follows .- — " I inspected the Timaru High School on the 24th September. The Principal and another master take classes m Latin and Mathematics m the Girls' School. There is a class preparing for Matriculation which includes some of tho girls. They are being well grounded m latin. The discipline of the School and the respect paid to the furniture and other property are conspicuously satisfactory. The work of the school as a whole is highly commendable." A New Depabturb. — The Salvation Army have begun a new crusade m London. Acting under instructions from head-quarters, pickets are established at the doors of houses of ill-fame. Tho sentinels are not to approach or disturb m any way the men who enter these resorts, but ore simply to make a list of them and hand m tho list at the central office every morning. Those whom the sentinels know by sight to be designated by name, and the others to be described as accurately as possible, and the numbers and description of cabs or other conveyances m which they travel are also to be furnished. The Krupp Wouks.— The latest published repnrt of the establishment of Messrs Krupp, Essen, shows that the works coutinue growing, not merely m ex'ent, but also as regards tho number of persons who find employment there. In 18G0, only 1764 men were engaged at tho works ; this number had risen m 1870 to 7084; now it is over 20,000. If the women and children are taken into account whose livelihood depends upon the establishment, we find a working class population of not fewer than 65,381 persons, of whom nearly 29,000 live m the houses owned by the works. The various departments of Krupp's undertaking number eiiiht, and compriso the works at Eesen, three collieries at Essen and Bochum, 647 iron ore mines m Germany, mines near Bilbao, Spain, the smelting furnaces, a range for testiDg ordnance at Meppen, besides other places. There are eleven smelting furnaces, 1542 puddling and re-heating furnaces, 439 steam boilers, and 450 steam engines of 185,000 borse-powor. At Essen alone, railway trooks of a total length of 37 miles, are laid down, with a rolling stock of 88 locomotives, 893 wagons, 191 trollies, besides 69 horses. There are 40 miles of telegraph wires, 35 telegraph stations, and 55 Morse apparatus. Tub Eight Hours Movkjient. — At tho last meeting of the Wellington Benevolent Society, the' Secretary reported that oue of the old men, named William Taylor, aged 80 year?, who for somo time past had beon on the books of the Society, had died tho previous day at the Hospital. Mr Danks (says tho N.Z. Times) m very fec'ing terms, alluded to the deceased, who had first initiated the eight hours movement m this city, whence it spread to other parts of the colony, Australia, England, and tho United Stotes. He was sorry that it could not bo made known to the trades m Australia that the originator of the eight hours movement was living on charity m Wellington. "And that bo tried to pay for his support by picking oakum," remarked Mr Wardell. The Secretary stated that tho doccased arrived here ia tho year 1840 and he, with a few others, initiated tho eight hours movement at Petone. An old colonist, who arrived^ hero m 18 H, has furnished the following particulars :— " Tho deceased, William Taylor, arrived here m the month of January, 1840, m tho Oriental, ono of four emigrant chips which loft England the prcvu.ua year for New Zealand. He was a builder "by trade, and for some yoare carriod on business —several of tho first buildings m Wellington being erected by him — with the aid of any help which could bo procured from othor carpenters m thoso days. Ho was ono of those present at a meeting held soon after his arrival, at which it was determined that from 8 a.m. till 5 p.m. should constitute a day's work, and it has never bcon altered since. Thorofore, from such humblo beginnings the eight hours movement spread all over the colonies. Taylor was somewhat of an erratic disposition. Whon his own trade got ilaok ho took to coatting between Wellington and tho Wnirarapa, taking up supplies and bringing bauk wool. Uo was rather improvident, generally noting on tho maxim that ' sufficient for tho day wns tho evil thorcof,' which lod to his boing m indigent circumstances m his old age. Poor Taylor desorved a bottor fato." Don't Die m the House. — " Rough on Rats " olears out rata, mioo, booties, roaoheß, bod-bngs, flioa, anta, insocta, molos, jackrabbits, gophors.

The best if not the only remedy for consumption. Doctors disagree as to the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and Hypophosphites of Lime nnd Sodu m consumption and wasting diseases. The Hypophosphites give nerve power and act as a tonic, while Cod Liver Oil heals tho inflammation, gives strength and flesh. Being both contained m Scott's Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphitt a the effect produced by the use of this rcruedy 13 wonderful. Thousands who have been cured by it can testify to tiiia fact. 10 A Lovely Chaplct. — A lato fashion report says : " Nothing can be prettier than a chaplet of hop vines m blossom." A recent medical review says : " Nothing can be a better renovator of the health thun American llop Bitters. They aid m all the operations of nature ; toning up tho stomach, ussisting the food to become properly assimilated, and promote healthy action ia all the organs. The dictates of fashion, as well as the laws of health, alike favor a right application of hops."— [Read.] Mothers Don't Know.— How many children are puniehed for being uncouth, wilful and indifferent to instructions or reward simply because they are out of health. An intelligent lady said of a child of thia kind : " Mother don't know that she should give the little ono moderate doses of American Co.'s Hop Bitters for two or three weeks, and the child would be all a parent could desire."— [Advt.] American Co's Hop Bittees are the Purest and Best Bitters ever made.
