For a lonely and many-sided job there are, we learn from the " Railway Magazine," not many to compare with that of the Station Agent at Corrour Station, on the West Highland section of the North British Railway, who acts as stationmaster, signalman, porter, goods clerk, booking clerk, parcel clerk, telegraph clerk, postmaster, and postal telegraph clerk. He is perched on the top of a hill in Inverness-shire, 1350 ft above sealevel, two miles from the nearest neighbour, ten miles from school, twenty-eight miles from a doctor, baker, butcher, shoemaker or tailor, yet the number of letters that pass through his hands is wonderful. For two mouths over 6000 letters and parcels came by post, 800 parcels by train, and, in addition, 600 postal telegrams were received. If he wishes to send a letter bv post to his nearest brother-in-trade. seven miles distant, it has to cover ISS miles before it reaches him. In the morning he finds the grouse sitting on the top of the house and on the window sill, and often enough the red deer and mountain hare eat his kail.

EVERYDAY FACTS. TTMARU PRODUCES ITS SHARE. THIS COMES FROM MAIN ROAD, SOUTH. What makes anything a fact ? Isn't it a statement or incident which can be proven true or correct in every particular? What constitutes conclusive evidence to the mir.d of a Timaru citizen? Is it the statement of someone residing afc Invercargill or Nelson? We think not, but when one of our citizens gives a statement like the following, ■which is endorsed by many, tinder these circumstances we call them facts, and they are every-day facts because they are occurring every day. Don't take our word for what is said. If you axe not satisfied ask them. People don't make such assertions without good reasons. Mrs Andrews, Main Road, South, this town, says :—"Few women have suffered more with the kidneys than, I have, and I used to think the medicine was not made that would do me good. The pain was so bad in the small of my back that I could not stoop freely, and when I was in bed the> agony I "had to endure was frightful. I could not sleep for it. I used to get dreadfully giddy as well, and I had scalding of the secretions. I got a supply of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills afc Oddie's Pharmacy some months nio, and after I had takea a course of these pills I was free of the pains in the back, and the secretions did not scald, and I lost all giddiness. lam feeling very well indeed, bow, and I strongly recommend women with similar troubles to use Doan's Backache Eadney Pills." These Pills are sold br all chemists and storekeepers at 5s per bos (six boxes 16s 6d), or wil Ibe posted on receipt of price bv the proprietors, Foster-McClellaa Cc, 76 Pitt St., Sydney, N.S.W. ' But be sure t'hev are Doan's.
