It is often said that one must go from home to learn home news. A London correspondent sends an instance. An excellent French magazine, Lectures Pour Tous, gives an interesting account of the marriage methods of New Zealand girls. I venture to translate it : “In New Zealand (says the writer), where the young girls are as robust as the men, a serious struggle takes place between the lover and his sweetheart, and it is only after several hours of oonflict, during which the clothes are torn to shreds, that the would-be husband succeeds in carrying away his consort into his hut. If he should be worsted in the desperate fight, the wedding is ‘off’—never will a New Zealand girl consent to marry a man who lacks the bravery and the strength to be victorious in battle.” Evidently (adds our correspondent) the ways of New Zealand [“lads and lassies ” have materially altered since I was last in the colony. It would be rude to suggest that the French writer may have confounded New Zealand with some other Pacific Island!
Pneumonia Prevented. Among the tens of thousands who have used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for colds and la grippe during the past few years, to our knowledge, not a single case has resulted in pneumonia. Thos. Whitfield & Co., 240 Wabash avenue, Chicago, one of the most prominent retail druggists in that city, in speaking of this, says : “We recommend Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for la grippe in raanycases, as it not only gives prompt and complete recovery, but also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result in pneumonia.” For sale by A.
