OVER-RUN WITH WEEDS.

To the man who travels about Taranaki. and particularly in the northern part of it (says the Taranaki News), it is not difficult to ascertain the land in the occupation of the Maoris, even if the inevitable whare, hoihoi, or poaka were not there to proclaim .the fact, for the reason that the places are generally a mass of furze and noxious weeds, with desolation written larga everywhere. In the Tikdrangi and Waihi blocks this is particularly noticeable. On on^side of the road one will find land looking iust as well as the best in the Dominion, the fences in good order, neat buildings, and evidence of care, if ot pride, at every point. Turn to the other side of the road, and behold a veritable wilderness, a germinating ground for furze and noxious weeds of every description — it is Maori land. "Give me that land for nothing for 20 years and I would refuse it," remarked a settler to a News representative recently, and judging from its appearance the settler's judgment was not astray. The native reserves agent has leased some of the land, not so far gone as the above, for short terms to the la+id- * hungry pakeha, who is rapidly bringing it into a state of cultivation. This has had the effect of "shakiug up" some of the natives, who, fearing their lands may be similarly treated, have entered iato agreements with Europeans for working their places, the latter, of course, providing the labour.

The long white beard bobbed about and Santa beamed as he noted the beautiful lot of ladies' toilet bottlea in Wilton's Pharmacies. "I hardly know wMcb to choose. I believe I'll take them all. They will delight many of the ladies whose names I have on- my list. I see the prices are from 2s 6d upwards, and then this reduction before the re-buiHing of Wilton's Pharmacy makes them less still.

No matter how long you have suffered from Rheumatism ; no matter what other remedies have failed, RHEUMO, if given a fair trial, will effect a cure. Thousands of other suffpre^ have been .permanently <nired by RHEUMO, when all else haJ been tried in vain. Many have spent large sums of money at Rotorua and other thermal springs, but it was RHEUMO that eventually effected a cure. If you \ro suffering 1 from Rheumatism, or- ; from Gout, Lumbago, Sciatica, or kindred ■x>m plaints, give RHEUMO a fair trial. It has cured others and will cure you — and that at little cost.
