i Grass grubs are reported to be doing n lote cf damage in the denary dis- '■ tract. The Chrisiehurch Hospital Board has I decided not- to admit patients to the consumption -anat.rium from any other j district, unless their maintenance was ' guaranteed by The Hr.spital Board oi that district or some responsible per- . son. Bluff and Invercargill people crumble at their ordinary trains taking 00 minutes to run the 17 miles lietween th"--. places. The morning train from : .\<i.burton t..

M.P. for Auckland, is to receive one of the bronze medals struck by order of the King of Italy for presentation to those who rendered cciispicuous help to the distressed people at the time of the ureat earthquake at Medina in 1906." Mr Myers was Mayor of Auckland at the time, and •organised a relief fund, ] The necessarv £20,000 worth of shares I having been sold in the South Otago Freezing Company, which proposes to erect works in the vicinity of Balclutba,: the compauv will be registered at once ' and steps taken to have the works in 1 going <.':\ler lor next season's lamb ', trade. Kxten-ive additions are to be ! made to the Burnside works* and also ' those in Southland. * Sir \Y. J. Steward has written to the Oamarii Chamber of Commerce that he and the Hon. T. Y. Duncun waited on the Mini-ter in charge of the Tourist liesorts re a motor service from Kurow , to Pukaki, and were informed thai. . there was insufficient accommodation ' at the Hermitage at present, and that i in the meantime it was inexpedient to j establish a service which would have i the effect of still further overtaxing j that accommodation. However, he 1 intended to ask for a vote for "a new j building and to proceed promptly with ! the erection of the same. "When suffi- | cient accommodation was thus provided, i he would favourably regard the proj posal to establish the motor servioe j asked for. j The Country v. Town cry was raised ! in the House by the Member for Maria- ] watu, who said the country districts ' were not sufficiently represented in the i Council", and in proof said that, Wellington district has ten I M.L.C's. all city men. Mr G. W. Russell said that without the men in I the cities who manufactured the raw material, and acted as bankers, etc., : for those in the country, the country ; settlers would have a very bad time. j Mr l.anrenson said that nine M.L.C's , or about- '25 ]>er cent, of the Chamber, ! represented agricultural and pastoral i pur.-uits, aud these pursuits occupied j only 2-5.30 per cent, of the population, I so they were almost exactly represented. j On the other hand the industrial popui hit ion was not proportionately reprei sented, as they formed 31.13 of the ! whole people, "but had only six repre- ; sentatives. ' RHEFMO—THE RATIONAL REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM. : Once upon a time people used to . think that liniments, embrocations aud external treatment could cure Rheumatism, Gout. Sciatica, and Lumbago. Careful experiments by scientific investigators, however, demonstrated that the real causes of these diseases lay in an over acid condition of the blood. If the excess of Trie acid could be eliminated a cure was assured. Many preparations ■ were' tried, but it was not until the discovers- of RHEFMO that a really successful remedy was placed on the marnet. In Rhenmo you have. a powerful ncutraliser of Trie acid, which qui.-klv expels it from the sys-t-m and gives welcome and lasting relief Mr Albert Algar. of the Wellington Woollen Co..

In addition to the usual features of our Saturday's supplement, to-mor-row's number will contain an article descriptive of an Alpine valley in the Mackenzie country, contributed by Air Johannes C.

Jiowio and Co. having purchased the premises of Messrs J. E. Beekiiighani and Son, in which the latter have so long carried on an extensive furniture uusmess. The price has not been divulged, but it is understood to have been satisfactory to both parties. Messrs Bowie and Co. intend to remove their business to tlw new premises, but before doing so they will add to tho buildings they have purchased, aud bring tkein up-to-date in every respect. Tho young people of Seadown held a socinl evening in the schoolroom last Friday night. Dancing was the on ei of the evening, about thirty couples taking part in the grand march. .1 he catering was placed m the capable hands of Mr W. Lane, and lelt nothing to be desired in that department, and fruit and lollies were handed niuud ,at intervals by the committee. The music was supplied bv Mr J. Morgan (violin) and Mr J. Roddick (piano), and was stirring enough to please tho most iastidious. Extras were kindly played by Miss Bray ,of Albury (piano), and Messrs /Cargo (pipes). and Wunii (piano) and were very much appreciated The duties of M.C. were efficiently carried out by Messrs W. Perry and It. J. Edgar.

Mr J. Metzger, of Bluff, who lias i returned from a trip to Europe, men- ) tions that at Frankfort lie saw "three Zeppelin airships flying like huge birds, , and taking in and discharging passengers." It was a great sight. After spending a few days there, ho proceeded, "we heard of the grout manoeuvres that were going to be hold near ' the place where T was horn. Wurtem- ! berg. No less than 800,000 military took part, and there were present the Kaiser, all the foreign officers, and' Kings even from Siam, Japan, China, and other places. As we could not get accommodation we had an hour's ride, hut as my son, like all other colonials, was anxious to see the mad Kaiser, we were up at four o'clock and away, iWe were fortunate in securing a position right alongside the Kings, Emperor-, and other distinguished personages. I climbed a tree, so though the others were compelled to move hwk. T occupied a spot close to where there wis a stationary balloon, with its telephone and electric waves, sending messages i/i regard to the day's proceedings The Kaiser did not appear to he mud than day as he was engaged attending' to business and conversing with the King-: and officers. His manner was bright, and he seemed to be in u facetious mood. From my view of him J am satisfied that he is better looking than newspapers make him out to be" Wo were very muoli impressed with the fine upstanding horses, and also the great hardships to which the troops were subjected.

Just think of the good you may do by pointing out this letter to them: — "Dear Sirs, —My eyes were so inflamed and weak that I could hardly 6ee, and I had the advice of tho leading doctors in Dunedin, and could get no relief.

YOTJ SHOULD BEAR IN MIND That by using the commercial eucalyptus oil which is now bought up at 6d per lb weight and bottled, and on account of the large profit pushed, you are exposing yourelf to all the dangers to which the use of turpentine will expose you: irritation of kidneys, intestinal tract and mucous membranes. By insisting on the GENUINE SANDER EUCALYPTI EXTRACT yon not onlv avoid these pitfalls, but you have a stimulating, safe and effective medicament, the result of a special and careful manufacture. A trial will at once convince. Quality in small dose distinguishes it from the bulky and dangerous products.

Ploughing enthusiasts in the- Waimato ! district, witli .Mr Rattray C.seur.j as one i 01 Hie prune movers, are now preparing ' for the annual ploughing match which; is to be iß'kl next monili. A good pad. j duck has been secured lor the occasion, j Mr Foley having gencruusly pkicau a' i held cbtee to Sluomelnie Junction, at: the di.-posal of the committee, it is !

With this end in view, the grandstand and other buildings are to he moved back 4Ui't. and the lawn m front, is'to be raised, in all. about £2oo is to be spent on improvements. Members of the Borough Council, with the exception of Councillors Wat.son and Sinclair, who were unable through, business reasons, to be [iresent, spent an hour at Caroline Bay yesterday afternoon discussing needed facilities for bathers there; and in view , of the near approach of'the bathing season it was agreed that the extra accommodation should •be provided without delay. It was roallv a- committee meeting, and the recommendations made, will come before the Council at its meeting on Monday night, for con- , iirmation or rejection.

The land at Hunter, which the Government bought-from Mr M. J. Gorrigan, has been divided into four blocks. There are in all, 584 acres, and the sub-divisions are as follows—lsß, 145, 138, and 142 acres. Tlie rents vary according to the allotments, but on an average they work out at lis lOd per acre. The settlement consists of downy land on the eastern slopes of the Hunter's Hills, and is about six miles from Makikihi mil way station, a good metal road leading right up' to it. The block originally formed part of Mr T. Teschemaker's Otaio estate. 'The land lies at an elevation of about 500 ft. above sea level juid is intersected by broken water course channels; also by a creek. Most of the land is in old grass, the terrace faces being in tussock. Mr Corrigan says it is ail good land capable of growing 40 to 45 bushels of wheat to the acre and he now regrets having sold it as he finds its impossible to get other land as good at the money for which he disposed of it. A new road has been laid out through the settlement to give access to each section, and provision has been made for the erection of a footbridge across the Makikihi river at the entrance to tlie settlement. Tho Hunter school, and also a creamery, are situated close to the settlement. Applications will be received at the Lands Office in Timaru and Christchurch. np to August 23rd, and the ballot will be held in Timaru on August 26.

The Nov. I). C.

Stormy weather has been experienced in and .southward of Cook Strait and unsettled weather elsewhere. Present indications are for westerly gales in most parts of the country, cold and showery weather probable generally, with snow on the higher levels in the south. The barometer will probably rise shortly in the south but only temporarily." j At- the Magistrate's Court yesterday | a second offender named Benjamin Brosnahaii was lined 10s, in default 4S hours' tor drunkenness, and one first oll'ender who had been in gaol since : Monday was convicted and discharged. j A charge against Michael Donnelly of cycling on the footpath was adjourned j till the 251 h. A prohibition order j against a resident was renewed for a I year on the application of his wife. '; A charge against Sydney Sehvood, cab- : driver, of leaving his cab unattended ; was dismissed. Mr Emslie for the defence stating that the wheels had been secured with a catch whilst defendant j was inside an hotel getting a cigar. I On the information of Sergeant Jiowj man Arthur McCaa. was lined 20s and ; costs for driving a motor car at a 'dungeons pace in Stafford stveet,, and 'on a charge of driving a motor car round a corner in excess of the speed ' allowed was convicted and discharged. The following incident, taken from the souvenir prepared in connecttion with the jubilee of the West Taieri I'reshytorian Church, otters an interesting sidelight on the religious conservatism on the part of some Scottish characters in the early days. "The Kev. William Gillies, when pastor of the East Taieri parish, had long distances to | travel on foot, .so the members of the congregation conceived the idea- of presenting him with a buggy. The money was soo.il collected, and in a short time the buggy was bought, presented, and gladly used in the interests of the parish as well as of the minister himself and his family. One old elder did not approve of the minister driving about his parish like Jehu, tlie son of Nimshi, who drove furiously. Mr Gillies was too eager in his work to drive slowly. The old elder—one of the good old school—was wont to rebuke fearlessly what he did not approve, and he had a curious habit of doing so in his pi-avers. One night in the prayer meeting he vented his grievance about what he i called the 'bogey' thus: 'Oh. Lord, i bless our minister and keen him ; humble, for they do not now travel on ' Ihe.r leel as ye did when on earth. | but they ride in their "booevs" and pairs.' "—("Otago Daily Times.") Though the oversea states of the Empire liave been slow to make a. start hi the new science of mechanical flight, a small number of adventurous spirits have proved their possession of tlie courage to face the risks of pioneering in the local heavens. Colonials are generally not lacking in self-eon-lideiice and enterprise, but- they ;ire j far removed fnom the centrelof scientific . research, and are not often brought in contact with the world's great mgin- ; eers and inventors, so it is easy to understand this Dominion's backwardness in aviation. Nevertheless New ! Zealand has an engineer who has n ade ! a flight of over a mile on a monoplane | of his own construction—in Mr Pither, jof Invercargill. He may have had the advantage of many JN'ew Zealand's in having hud an engineering education, still his achievement loses very lr.tle of its merit when we consider that he had 1 never seen an aeroplane and could not I procure the materials that English and Continental inventors liave jit their ! command. Tiniaru people are to have an opportunity of seeing both the man and the machine, as Mr Pither is to exhibit his monoplane in the Olympia Skating Rink on Monday next. Ask- \ ed why he would not give an exhibition ■flight, Mr. Pither explained that ho 'could not find ;i suitable starting pir.ee. He must get up a speed of 2o miles ; an hour to rise, and a run of jit least a quarter.of a mile on a smooth track to get up that speed. The great c.isjwlvantage of many New Zealanders in machines, is that they must have ei'iher ;i long smooth track to start from or else a mechanical starting ipparatus : to, ao to, speak, "fire them off."
