NEWS AND NOTES.

Rather unexpected appreciation of the feelings of a man under the influence of liquor was made by a wellknown counsel appearing for a prisoner in the Supreme Court at Wellington. He had asked a lady witness to explain to the court the accused’s condition when she saw him nearing his home. “ The accused was not staggering about,” replied the witness, “ but his condition seemed to be that of a man whose head feels several sizes bigger than it actually is. You know what I mean?” “Yes, I know the feeling,” said counsel quite seriously. Everybody in the Court enjoyed counsel’s frank admission. Strange things have occurred during a football match, but rarely has a referee literally dropped his whistle and run at the sound of the firebell (says the “Mataura Ensign”). At Gore the other afternoon, Mr A. Wallis, who is captain of the Fire Brigade, was refereeing the Pioneer-Edendale match when the firebell rang. Without hesitation he responded to the call of duty, handed over his whistle to the chairman of the Eastern Southland Rugby Sub-Union (Mr F. Murray), and rushed away to the fire, which was a minor hedge outbreak. Within a quarter of an hour he was back again in charge of the game.

A remedy which has proved of great benefit is Laxigen, prepared by E. C. Ayres. Ltd., chemists, Stafford Street. This is prepared solely from roots and herbs, and it is more than a laxative—it is a tonic as well. It is gentle in its action and quickly restores the bowels to normal healthy action.
