SEVERE BRUISES BANISHED.

• a — : — ( "I severely bruised my leg,'* says Mr John Clarke, of Union Lane, Newcastle, " whilst working on the wharf at Newcastle, for which I tried many ointments, but gained no relief, until I tried Zam-Buk. Four applications proved sufficient to effect a perfect cure, and I shall have much pleasure in recommending such a, valuable ointment to my friends." Zam-Buk Ointment will be found a certain cure for cuts, burns, boils, bruises, running sores, piles, eczema, barcoo, rheumatism, lumbago, neuralgia, " ringworms, pimples, blackheads, chapped ana cracked hands, chilblains, etc. As an embrocation Zam-Buk is unequalled. From all chemists and stores, ls 6d per pot, or post paid from the Zam-Buk Manufacturing Co., 39, Pitt Street, Sydney.

stream of men and women trudging homeward in the morning and evening, and it occurs to one as being fortunate that on these brisk autumn days a, walk through some of our pretty parks and gardens is not a penalty but an enjoyment. .But the curious change is in looking down from some point of vantage which commands two or three of the most-used suburban lines. : Instead of the busy, swift messengers pass- j ing and repassing each other, with their quick-puffing steam and long trail of white smoke, there is a dead, blank stillness. Once in a way you hear a whistle scream, and see a train crawling slowly along, as j if it were feeling every inch of its way, but the Railway Department is making great efforts, and a few more trains are run each day, both in town and country. Mr Handel Gear, who will be well remembered in several New Zealand towns, and who, after a long sojourn in England, haa now settled in Melbourne, held last week a private view of some of his latest pictures. The two most important works were a portrait of Baton von Eisenstein, who has lately visited Melbourne, and one of the Hon Alfred Deakin, Attorney-General of the Commonwealth. The Baron is painted in the extremely gorgeous uniform of a field-marshal of the Austro-Hung'arian army. He has a fine face, and Mr Gear has well caught his most martial air. The portrait of Mr Deakin is an excellent likeness, and its sombre tones contrast splendidly with the magnificent warrior at its side. Mr Deakin is seated in his library, and looks entirely the studious main, of affairs, but there is a glint in his eye .which hints at the possibility that he also would be "ready to battle" when necessary. A large afternoon party was given by Janet, Lady Clarke, to meet Captain and Mrs LiridSay oh their return from their honeymoon. The house was beautifully decorated with quantities of flowers, scarlet and white being, as at the wedding, the colours most used. Mrs. Lindsay appeared ita a gown of soft white silk, trimmed with a good deal of lace insertion. Her hat was of burnt straw adorned with pale pink ribbon and hunches of Neapolitan violets ; in one hand she carried a bouquet of the same flowers. Lady Clarke wore ivory white cloth, with touches of gold and dark fur. The gown had a deep swathed belt of ivory satin, and with it 'was worn a hat of -mauve chiffon. A dance, to meet the newly-mar-ried couple was also given at Cliveden on Friday evening. Lady Clarke wore a beautiful gown of ivory satin. The bride appeared in white, and Miss Vera Clarke had a pretty pink gown. Captain and Mrs Lindsay have left' for Sydney, and on their way home will meet Lord Crawford at Thursday Island. OLIVIA.
