LAST NIGHT'S CONCERT

la the month of September last, the Anglican Choroh at Amberley was blown down la • gale and aa appeal has been made to the various churches of that communion throughout; the diocese to assist the congregation in rt building the edifice: Thg congregation of St Stephen's Asbbnrton, having been called upon to make great efforts to free their oirn cbnroh of debt, It appeared to she clergyman and vestry that the only feasible means of raising funds In aid of the Ambetley people was that of arranging for some poblio entertainment, and accordingly It was decided to have a shilling cmcert, the proceeds of whioh might be devoted to that purpose. Musical friends were appealed to, and cheerfully gave their ■ervloes, some of them coming long dla tonoes to do so, and the result was that last evening there was provided a genuine trsat In the shape of some very high 0 as» muslo, both vooal end lnstramental. The night being fine there wss • Urge attend anoe; all the seats provided being occupied 4 Ihe conoert opened with a doet, violin and plauo, ■ mlncet by Mcstrt, In which Mr Batemsa, of Ohtist ohurob, handled the first-mated iacrrii' ment with exquisite tasle, showing great dalloacy as well as firmness of touch, aud was ably seoonded by Mrs Olarldge. Tbe Item was ■ delightfalf retsste of ■ feist of good things, and^was warmly appreci ated. Cowan's beautiful teuor song, ''Never Again," received, It Is almost needless to lay, a masterly Interpretation at the Hands of Mr W, B. Dixon, of RakaU, the last verse being repeated in response to an enthusiastic encore. Then came the delleioos trio " O Memory," Mrs Harper, Miss Barratt and Mr Dizon, followed by Mrs Deosblre'a Ora pro Ndbis which (hat lady's sweet pure voice aud admirable exeoatlon rendered » most delightful treat. We have never heard Mtg Den shire to greater advautage. Mr Stevenson, /ail (tar ststlonmaeter, who la a great acquisition to mtisloal circles In Ashbnnon, ♦hen gave a very pleasing rendering of ** Love's own sweet song,"' for which he received a well deserved encore, respond ing with the bright, sparkling little ditty " Jessumy Trwn " (Roeobelj.

Mrs Harper's ''The Power of Love" from Satanella, obtained for that lady a unani mous recall vhlch wis good-naluredly responded to by a spirited rendering < t 11 I'm s meny Zlngai»." A'very erjjoy able cornet solo by Mr Savage brought the first part to » successful termination. The second part opened with the con trsito aoDg " Tne Old Oatbedrai" which Is ceedtass to say was done fall jastice ty Miss Burratt, thst lady being ouooeeded by Miss Trsamann who gave s brilliant exhibition of her powers as % pianists and of oonrse paid the penalty by havlDg to secede to the Inevitable enoore. The selection first ohoaen was s " Oberon" (Weber) and the encore "A Reverie In G" the latter especially bdeg an exqiisite piece of (nstramentalism.

BEA'S HUSBAND

The writer of London Table Talk for the " Dunedin Evening Star " contri butes the following:— It is no secret at Osborne tbat there has been an open rupture between Prince Henry of Battenberg and his august mother-in-lar, and that " dear ' Bea's husband" is at present staying \ away on the Continent in flat defiance 1 •of his wife's aad Her Majesty's wishes. ] Aecoiding to report, the quarrel arose out of a misconception on the Prince's | j>*tt with regard to the importance of ,

his new office ls • Governor of the lisle of W-j,i> ." No scuner was the 'appointni ur ennfirmed and tbe salary oi Jsoo a year secure than the astonished Household noticed with . amusement that His Serene High , ness was indubitably giving himself airs. He snubbed lords-in-waiting, played grand seigneur to the maids of honor, patronised his wife, and even dared to differ in conversation with the Queen [herself. Things came to a crisis (whin the Prince of Wales visited Osborne. Instead oi sitting silent at ; dinner as usual, Prince Henry exhibited I exceedingly ill-timed" levity, rallied " Tura-Tum " with raucous German hilarity on his growing girth about the waist fa most painful subject), made bad jokes about" Prince Albert Victor and elephants, and altogether miscon ducted himself, so that our gracious Sovereign turned perfectly pink with fury and Princess Beatrice went into hysterics. Next morning the Qusen sent for " Bea's husband," and (presumably) gave him a right royal " wigging." "What really happened no one knows, S9v» ":he Bi-'mberg" emerged very angry, and lefc Osborne swearing never to set foot on English soil again, He went abroad at once, and endeavors to induce him to return have so far failed. In deliberately staying away from the anniversary services in tnemorium of ths Prince Consort " Bea's husband " must wsll know he has committed an offence equal in Her Majesty's eyes to high treason. It therefore looks as if he had no immediate intention of capitulating.

TEN MONTHS' SDFPERING IN A HOSPITAL



There is an old saying that physicians are b :lass of men who pour drugs, of which they mow little, into bodies of which they know less. This is both true and untrue at the same :ime. There are good and poor lawyers, and rood and poor doctors. The trouble with ■foese medical gent'emen as a profession is that they are clannish, and apt to be conceited. They don't like to be beaten at their own trade by outsiders who have never st died medicine, lhey therefore pay, by their fre quent failures, the penalty of refusing instruc tion unless the teacher bears there own " Ho 11 Mark" An eminent physician—Dr Brown-Sequard, of Paris—states the fact accurately when he says : " The medical profession are so bound up in their self-confidence and conceit that they allow the diamond truths of science to be picked up by persons «ntirely outside their ranks." We give a most interesting incident, which illustrates this important truth. The steamship " Concordia," of the Donadson Line, sailed from Clasgow for Baltimore in 1887, having on board as a fire man a man named Richari Wade, of Glasgow. He had been a fireman for fourteen years on various ships sailing to America, China, and India. He had born the hard and exhausting abor, and had been healthy and strong. On the trip we now name he began for tbe first time to feel weak and ill. His appetite failed, and he suffered from drowsiness, heart burn, a bad taste in the mouth, and costiveness and irregularity of the bowels. Sometimes when at woikhe had attacks of giddiness, but supposed it to be caused by the heat of the fire room. Quite often he was sick and felt like vomiting, and had some pain in the head. Later during the passage he grow worse, and when the ship reached Halifax he was placed in the Victoria General Hospital, and the ship sailed away without him. The house surgeon gave h'.in some powders to stop the vomiting, and the. next day the visiting physician gave him a mixture to take every four hours. Within two days Wade was so much worse that the doctors stopped both the powders and the mixture. A month passed the poor fireman getting worse and worse. Then came another doctor, who was to be visit'og physician for the next five months. He gave other medicines, but not much relief. Nearly all tfcst t'me Wade suffered great torture ; he digested nothing, throwing up all he a'e. There was terrible pain in the bowels, burning heat in the throat, heartburn, and racking headache. The patient was now taking a mixture every four hours, powders, one after each meal to diges.t the food, operat ing pills one every night, and .temperature pills two each night to stop the cold sweats. If drugs could cure him at all, Rcihard had an iHea that he took enough to do it, But on the other hand pleurisy set in and the doctors took ninety ounces of matter from his right nde, and then told him he was sure to die. *fve months more rolled by, and there was another change of visiting physicians. The new one gave Wade a mixture which he said made Aim tremble like a leaf on a tree. At this crisis Wade's Scotch blood asserted itself He refused to stand any more dosing, and told the doctors that if he must die he could die as well without them as with them. By tbis time a cup of milk would turn sour on his stomach, and lie there for days. Our friend from Glasgow was like a wreck on a shoal, fas* going to pieces. We will let him tell the rest of his experience in fhe words in which he commuuicated it to the press. He says: (> When I was in this state a lady whom I had never seen came to the hospital and talked with me. She proved to bean angel of mercy, for without her I should^ not now be alive; She told me of a medicine called ' Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup,' and brought me a bottle mext day. J started with it, without consulting the doctors, and in enly a few days' time I was out of bed calling for ham and e%gs fpr Qreakfast. From that time, keeping on with Mother Seigel's great remedy, I got well fast, and was soon able to leave the hospital and come home to Glasgow. I cow feel as if I was in another world, and have no illness of any kind.'' The above facts are calmly and impartially stated, arid the reader may draw his own conclusion* We deem it best to use no names although Mr V^de gave them in his oiigiial deposition,' His address is No. 244, -Stub cross street, Glasgow, where leUers will reach h;m. __ 3



HOW PILLS A3E MADE The Custom of taking medicine in the form



of pills dates far back in history. The object iis to enable us to swallow easily in a condensed form disagreeable and nauseous, but very use ful, drugs. To what vast dimensions pill taking has grown may be imagined, when we say that in England alone about 2,000,000,000 two thousand million) pills are consumed every vpt In early days pills were made slowly by hand, as the demand was compara tively small. To-day they are produced in infinitely greater rapidity by machines especi ally contrived for the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various ingredients employed. No form ot medication can be better than *. pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. 1 But right heie occurs the difficulty. Easy as it 1 may seem to make a pill, or a million of them' there are really very few pills that can be honestly commended for popular use. Mofet of them either undershoot or overshoot the mark. As everybody takes pills of some kind, it may be well to mention what a good, safe, and reliable pill should be. Now, when onp feels dull and sleepy, and has nore or less pain in the head, sides, and back, c; may be sure his bowels are constipated, and his liver upgish, To remedy this unhappy state of things there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will act like a charm by stimulating the liver into doing its duty, and ridding the j digescive organs of the accumulated poisonous | matter.

But the good pill does not gripe and pain us, neither doss it make us sick and miserable for a lew hours or a whole day. It acts on the entire glandular system at the same time, else the after effects of the pill will be worse than the disease itself. The griping caused by most pills is the result of irritating drugs which they contain. feuch pills are harmful, and should never be used. They sometimes even produce hemorrhoids. Without having any particular desire to praise one pill above another, we may, nevertheless, name Mother Seigel's Pills, manufactured by the well known house of A. J. White, Limited, 35 Farringdon Road, London, and now sold by all chemists and medicine vendors, as the only one we know of that actually pos^eses every desirable quality. They remove the pressure upon the brain, correct the liver, and cause the bowels to act with ease and regularity. They never gripe or produce the slightest sickness of the stomach, or any other unpleasant feeling or symptom. Neither do they induce further onstipation, as nearly all other pills do. As further and crowning merit, Mother Seigel's Pills are covered with a tasteless and harmles coating, which causes them to resemble pearls thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate as they are elective in curing disease, If you have a severe cold and are threatened with a fever, with pains in the head, back and limbs, one or two doses will break up the cold and prevent the fever. A coated tongue, with a brackish taste in the mouth is caused by foul matter in the stomach. ' A dose of Seigel's Pilis will effect a speedy cure. Oftentimes partially decayed food in the stomach and bowels produces sickness, nausea, etc. Cleanse ! the bowels with a dose of these pills, and good health will follow. Unbke many kinds of pills, they do not make you feel worse before you are better. Ihey are, without do^bt, the best family physic ever discovered. They remove air obstruction to the natural functions in either ex withoutany unpleasant effects. TiNWALD COAL AND iIttEWOOD DEPOT.
