HERE AND THERE.

During liis recent visit to the East Coast (says the Poverty Bay “Herald”), Mr. W. E. Goffe came into possession of some interesting curios in the form of saurian remains, probably those of a mosasaurus which belonged to the cretaceous period. The curios are in the form of large teeth, something like sharks’ teeth, embedded in papa. They were discovered three or four feet below the surface of the ground, on the coast at Te Araroa. The teeth are in a remarkably good state of preservation. Nearer the surface of the ground were found pieces of bone (some of these also being embedded in rock), which are believed to form part of the head. Mr. Goffe has looked up authorities on the matter, and finds that remains of a similar nature have been discovered in America as well as New Zealand, and that the size of the reptile, which resembled a seal ranged from 15 feet to 50 feet long and had a head resembling something between a dog’s and a shark’s head. He considers the monster whose remains he has obtained would be about 75 feet in length. At the same place Mr. Goffe also found some fine specimens of fossilised shells, which he believes belong to pre-historic times. “Every woman likes to be kept under, really; every good-looking woman anyway, or one in love.”

Rack the brain as one may, it is impossible to think of any “household friend” that even approaches Scrubb’s Cloudy Ammonia in its many-sidedness. True, one may recognise one article as a good shampoo, another as a water softener, a third as a laundry asset, but, realising that a single bottle of Scrubb’s Ammonia has half a hundred uses, and is. simply perfect in its great variety of applications, the modern housekeeper would as soon be without pail and scrubbing brush as without her Scrubb’s Ammonia. Of course, health depends largely upon the cleanliness of one’s surroundings, so it goes without saying that., the house in which blankets and woollens are washed with Scrubb’s Ammonia? likewise the glass, crockery, silver, and painted walls, hair brushes, and all oilcloth, is best to live in, but from the hygienic point of view Scrubb’s Ammonia has a more definite mission still. Added to the bath, it positively gives tone to the system—in its effect it can only be likened to a sea-bath —and in addition to this delightful exhilaration, it promotes a healthy action of the skin, and leaves it smooth and soft. As a purifier in the sick room (half a teaspoonful in a basin of water) it is highly agreeable, and it is a valuable factor in the shampoo. Scrubb’s Ammonia is sold by all chemists and grocers.
