Oliver Wendell Holmes was once asked by a minister his opinion as a physician on the effect of beliefs on the minds of those approaching death. He replied :—": — " So far as I have observed persons nearing the end of lite, the Catholics understand the business o. dying better than Protestants. I have seen a good many Catholics on their dying beds, and it always appeared to me that they •iceepted the inevitable with the composure which showed that their b lief, whether or not the bes-t to live by, was a better one to die by than most of the harder ones that have replaced it." 51 r. Gawne, of Dunedin (says the Southland Timcx of April 13, IS'JI), has just been on a vit.it to Invercargill to push business a little. Not that it wants much canvassing, for since he commenced the manufacture of his Worcestershire Sauce, the demand has kept p ice with his capacity to supply it. He makes a really good thing, in listinguishable from the famous Lea and Perrin's, which he places upon one's table at a much lower price, and trusts to that to secure a steadily growing trade. Those who have not yet tried the colonial article should put their prejudice aside for a time and test the question with a bottle or two. — advt
