his consent, bufc is waiting to see how public opinion is.affected. Mdme Bern hardt, interviewed on the subject, has expressed her astonishment at the horror which good Catholics express at her probable appearance in a sacred character. What greater harm is there, she asks, in Oberammergau ? Out of respect for their art, the actora which, if leave is given, are to play with her will throw all the re ligious feeling they can into the perform ance. As to the objection of the religious press that Mdme Bernhardt is a Jewess, she says that she has the honor of belong ing to the Bame glorious race as the Virgin Mary herself, and has besides been baptised, having taken the Communion and gone to school at a Roman Catholic convent. If she acts the part of Mater. Dolorosa, she will not go to Munkacsy but to the Pre-Raphaelites for inspiration, and will fall back on her own youthful imaginings when she was a boarder at the . Versailles Convent in which she entered ] the Roman Catholic Church. The Chat Noir led the way in reviving Mysteries last Holy Week. Ifc had the crucifixion -in "Chinese Shadows" with suitable music, into which a Stabat was brought. There iras nothing irreverent in the performance itself, and the fashionable world, which is anything but sceptical in its professions, went for the nonce to that resort of Bohe mian artiste. What is more, it professed itself edified. It has been suggested to the Archbishop of Paris that his best way to kill the Porte Saint Martin enterprise would be to have the mysteries revived at Notre Dame, as they were performed there before the time of Francis I.

A Paris cable of April 5 says :—Not withstanding the great outcry raised at the proposal to engage Sarah Benhardt to represent the Virgin Mary in a pasaion play in Paris she took the character, and a great sensation was caused throughout France.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS.

[per press association.]

The BCollday, Wellington, April 7- Beautiful weather to-day. The chief attractions are the- sham fight ab Island Bay and continuation of the bowling tourney. Sadd«n Death A married woman named McKellari living at Athol Place, was found in an unconscious state at her residence on Saturday afternoon, and died within an hour of her admission to the hospital. Deceased had been suffering from in fluenza. The Weather Heavy rain fell lasb night; and the ireather is threatening to-day.

A Handy Bridge.

To' span a stream with a light bridge, that would catry two men at once, and, if carefully set up would last for years, take three or four strands of No 1 twisted galvanised wire, each the proper length to span the stream ; these to have eyelets let in at each end. Strain the wires with bolts and screws to a sleeper on each side, the wires to be from three po four inches apart; the sleepers to be kept in position by two upright sleepers let; into the ground on each bank. Two more lengths of wire, crossing the tops of these uprights and fastened to strong stakes in the ground would form a hand rail. Staple narrow boards 3 inches wide on to the wires of the bridge by driving underneath small staples into the boards, embracing one of the wires with each ; iJbeee boards to be kept an inch apart by ■wooden stops. The wires on which the lioa/rds rest could be tightened at pleasure by the aerews and bolts by which they are Attached to the sleepers.

BAINFALL AND TEMPERATURE AT CHERTSEY FOR MARCH,

ALFORD STATION.

The following is th« Mcteorologicil Re port for the week ending April 6th, 1890 :—

The Annual Drink Bill.

Mr Daw-son Bums, upon whom the munfclo of the lute Mr William JJoylc has ftillen, has calculated the annual drink bill for the year 1889. Ah compared with 1888, the figures arc by no means credit able. In the former year the drink bill was £124,(515,346; 'in tho latter, £132,213,276. As the prosperity of the nation" has revived, the expenditure of #c mtlou in Hiiuk }m increased by over

7,500,000, or about 6£ per cent. Inround figures 500,000 is due to increased expen diture on wines, and 500,000 more on foreign and colonial spirits, 6,500,000 being the increase on beer and British spirits. This points to the fact that, as wages have increased a large portion of the industrial classes have been more lavish in their ex penditure upon drink. The annual ex penditure per head has gone up from £3 6s 8d to £3 9s lid. After all, says one of Dr Bums' critics, this is only 3s 3d per year, or Of d a week ; but a large pro portion of the adult population, and the great majority of the juvenile, do not consume anything, and, therefore, to dwell upon Of d a week is simply to mis lead. We cannot, however, allow that Dr Burns is justified in placing the Drink Bill over against the Savings Banks deposits. He tells us that in 1889 the drink expenditure was more than four times the aggregate payment into all the savings banks, and nearly one-third more than the capital in all such banks at the end of 1888. After all savings banks are only one popular form of investment, and unless we take into account the deposits in the co-operative, building, and other societies, the com parison of such figures leads to no positive result. One satisfactory feature of the case is that, bad as we are, we have been worse. In the decade ending 1879 the annual average drink bill was nearly £136,000,000 ; in the last decade it was £125,500,000, and this in spite of the increase in the population.—Echo.

A Sydney contemporary speaking of the payment of members in New South Wales, points out that such payment is not at all a certain guarantee that poor men will be enabled to get into Parliament. It cites several instances of honorable members sub scribing their salary to local institutions. Our contemporary says:—"Constituencies will soon learn that a rich member means £300 per annum for hospital, agricultural show, school of arts, or what not. A poor member means the loss of this sum. Can anyone knowing human nature doubt that, excepting exceptions, constituencies will exclusively favor the man who can spare his Parliamentary stipend, and as steadily reject the man to whom it is necessary ? "

Ho&loway's Ointment and Pills.— Outward infirmities.—Before the dis covery of these remedies, many,cases of sores, ulcers, etc., were pronounced to be hopelessly incurable, because the treat ment pursued tended to destroy the strength ib was incompetent to preserve, and to exasperate the symptoms it was inadequate to remove. Holloway's Pills exert the most wholesome powers over the unhealthy flesh or skin, without debarring the patient from fresh air and exercise, and thus the constitutional vigour is husbanded while the most malignant ulcers, abscesses, and skin diseases are in process of cure. Both Ointment and Pills make the blood richer and purer, instead of permitting it to fall into that poor and watery state so fatal to many labouring under chronic ulcerations.
