TOWN & COUNTRY.

The Greymonth Imr, which liskl been in bad condition and hampering shipping for some weeks, wms well cleaied b.v ;i fresh in the i'ivit <m Sundiiy. Mr Slowoy, cent raetnr I'.ir the new wharf, is milking good progress wit!l the work, llii! end of which is now in sight, us the last pile has been driven. During the niontli <,l' ."lulv the "Wellington City Council snld eloctricitv to the amount of CIS,881). Deducting expenses, interest, .sinking fund and depreciation, the sale (7(J7,52:j units) gave a profit of .to 104. ! A Mr Gill has made a monoplane at Dtiuediu. lie .started out for a. trial a day or two ago, and when tho six men holding it hack iet go it bounded . forward. Mr Gill immediately stopped, as he saw that the propeller was puling the motor oil' its bed. "Surely it is driving the fresh air theory to death," said a delegnle from a country committee at tho Hoard of .Kducatiim's mieoting yestrrd.ay, in making reference to a certain school building that had been built, mi lie Biiid, nearly as high as it was long. The remark raised a hearty laugh amongst, miembers, despite the doputafcionist'a stern sincerity. At the Magistrate's Court yesterday | before Mr V." G. Day. S.M., two first \ oli'enders fer drunkenness were dealt ! with. Joseph. Fleming, who had been j twice convicted previously within the, I last six months, was lined £l, ill do fault a fortnight's imprisonment. A first offender was lined ss, in default ; 2-1 hours' imprisonment. Both elect- . ed to "take it out." j The north-end septic, tank is at pre- | Kent being cleaned out. Tho shingle ' at the outfall pipes lias accumulated : sitico the tank was built, with the re- I suit that it blocks the mouth of the outlet pipe to some extent, and with a view to remedy this the pipe is to be extended into deeper water where j it will be clear of shingle. I The legal standard of quality for j milk offered for sale would seem to bo : defective. At Oamani on Monday iwo ' milk vendors were prosecuted for sell- j ing milk containing less than the cor- I feet percentage of non-fatty solids. The | analysis showed tin's, but it also show- ; ed an excess of fatty sohds. so that the i two together exceeded the standard total. The Magistrate convicted, but ', imposed no penalty. i Tho "blight" of Taranaki is with us | as with the, rest of the province (writes; a correspondent of the "Daily News"). I mean the constant moving about of , settlers. One cannot blame settlers for , trying to improve their positions, still ■ there is no question that Taranaki will ; never be the' country that I'rovidem -o '• intended until we get a lot of men on i the land who are making homes for j themselves and those who come after i

A testimony read at yesterday's meeting of the Education Board was couched in terms so eompliinontaiy that more than one member smiled in a suggestive manner. The teacher, said tlie reference in one place, was of an even uncomplaining temper and j had made herself beloved by evcrv i child in the school. The Inspector how"- I ever, allayed any doubts by remarking; ! that he had known a few chairmen;? ; . statements about teachers to be highflown, but the- present one. was certainly true. The term Magazine of the Timartt Boys' High School is now being dis- i tributcd. Externally it has been much ! improved in appearance by the adoption of a new design for tilt* cover and I a now title—"The Timaruvian." Tho ; decorations are a good photgraph of the front of the school (from the girls' ground!) and the school "arms." The magazine has qnito a company of editors, mid as they publish (and gave a prize for) some fault finding with their past work, this, may he taken a.s an indication of a determination to do better in tho selection of material, and thorn are proofs of it in this number. Among the now lines of material is a first instalment of notes by Mr Johnson, on his recent trip to America. Tho Hunter bachelors held their annual ball in. the, Library Hull ou Eri-

day 19th, when there was a. very I largo attendance, friends beiut present j from all parte of the district. About '.. 40 couples took part in the grand j march, which, was led by the secretary, j Mr K. Mercer, and Miss Squire. Music was supplied by Miss Stanley (piano), Mr F. Stanley (piccolo), assisted by Mr C. Stanley and Mr J. Gill (violins), and was all that could ! be desired. The hall was very nicely j decorated with ferns, etc., and the j lloor was in excellent order. Early ; in the evening delicious fruit salad wa.s i handed round and supper was served , at 11.30 p.m., and another at '2 a.m. j .Dancing was kept going till 3 a.m., ; when the gathering broke up with Hiree cheers for the bachelors. At the Magistrate's Court, Teniuka, yesterday, some civil cases came before Mr V. G. Day., S.M. Judgment by default was given in two undefended case.*} —Jno. Cross- (Mr Aspinal) V. Win. Hudson £1 l'3.s and costs ss; and A. Gabites v. Jno. Eraser 19s 9d and costs ss. Jno. W. .Miles sued Andrew Hamilton for £-1 I-Is. It appeared that the debt had been contracted by Mrs Hamilton before marriage, and the ease was adjourned till September SJOth, to see if a. compromise could be arranged. At a sitting of the Juvenile Court, two boys aged 11 and 13 respectively were, charged with the theft of £1 Bs, from a lady's handbag at the Parish Hall, on August oth. One was further charged with theft of a whip valued lis Gd, at tlie same date and place. Both boys pleaded guilty and after severely admonished bv the Magistrate were ordered to refund the amount etolen. , YOU SHOULD BEAR IN MIND That by using the commercial eucalyptus oil which is now bought up at Gd 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. Hv insisting on the GENU]NIC SAXDEI't EUCALYPTI EXTRACT you not only avoid these piti'nlls, 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. Remember— SANDER'S EXTRACT embodies the result of oO years' experience and of special study, and it does what is promised; it Ilea Is and cures without injuring the const i tut ion, as the oils on the market frequently do. Therefore, protect yourself bv rejecting other brands. SANDER'S EXTRACT ,»-- sesiOfi curative powers peculiarly iits own, and it can be used with perfect safety internally and externally. ...

THE GREATEST THING IN CURES. The Greatest thing is not essentially the Latest production, as you know.

In the same way Red Cross Ointment has been for thirty years, and is still, the Greatest thing known as a healing preparation. Doctors recommend it.
