The Ashburton Guardian. Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 1890. THE PRIMACY.

It will be seen by the report (reprinted in another place in this issue from the "Press") of a meeting held at Christ-' church yesterday, that the unfortunate difficulties which hava arisen in the matter of the Primacy have now entered upon a more hopeful phase. The meet ing appears to have been an informal conference of all orders, Bishops Harper and Neville being present, as well as a number of the clergy and laity. The Bishop of Dunedin, who has been pro minent in his opposition to the stand f taken up by Bishop Suter, urged that the Standing Commission should be asked to reconsider their decision as to the invalidity of the election to thei Primacy of the Bishop of Wellington,, but Shis course was almost unanimously ! dissented from on two grounds, viz, firsi; that it was uulikely that the Standing Commission would agree to take the matter into reconsideration, and second that even if it did con siderable delay must necessarily be involved. The conclusion arrived at was that the best way out of the diffi culty wculd be for Bishop Hadfield to resign.his claims to the Primacy, and that upon his so-doing Bishop Suter should be asked to convene a meeting of the General Synod. Surely in view of this expression of opinion the Bishop of Wellington will see that he owes it to the dignity of his office, and to the weal of the Church to promptly take the step suggested, as before all considera tions of personal rights or the value of dignities should be the well-being of the Communion of which, by his very title, he is one of the Fathers-in-God, If he do not, then he cannot but lay himself open to the imputation of valuing the peace of the flock less than the privileges, ol the shepherd.

In an address, delivered in Westminster Abbey lately, Archdeaoon Farrar dwelt on the great need there was in England of a re-awakening in regard to missions. One third of the churches of the province of Canterbury contributed nothing towards the support of ifliEsionary societies; while no lets than one.fourth of the London churches gave little more. All London, indeed, did not contribute 2d a head of the population. Yet the time for mission wors was riper now than it ever had been.

An extraordinary instanoe of long hours of labor was related lately before the Sweating Committea of the British House of Lords. A Roumanian Jew stated that at Manchester ho works from five in the morning until twelve at night, and sometimes until one or two in the morning, making an average of twenty hours a day for six days in the week, leaving only four hours for sleep. He earned 3s a day in the busy time, lasting about tin weeks, and from 63 to Sa per week in the slack season, and on this he had to support a wife and six obildren.

Mt Henry Hullen, oE Waitohi Downa» Temuka, bas experimented with a new wheat called No. 1 Standard, imported by Mr Morris, of Kiiapoi, from California. The Waitohi Down land has a local celebrity for the ex csllenoe of its mi'liog wheat, but the yields are not heavy. From 8 bushels of tha now cereal Mr Uullen reaped 176 bushels, and he calculates that as a portion of the 4 acres sown was laid, and consequently not fis to out, the yield was at tho rate of fully 50 bushels per acre. The wheiit resembles Bad Tascan in its general character, but when ripe it assumes a more distinctly golden hue. So satisfied is the grower with the results' achieved that ha intends to sow the whole of this year's product.

The " Oamaru Mail " describes a trial of a Howard's digging plough whioh appears to be a practical instrument. A four-horse team was set to work with tha plough in a stubble paddock in the presence of a large number of farmers and others, some of whom had come a very long distance to see the plough working. The implement was set to turn fully 30 inohes (15 inches each furrow) wide and from 9 to 11 inches deep. The soil at the bottom was very hard, but notwithstanding this the work was done to the satisfaction of all. Some of those present expressed an opinion that the plough would not give suoh great satisfaction it tried in old lea ground, so Mr Reid set it to work in a paddock that had been over eight yearß in lea, and whioh had an old road run ning through it. This was turned up just as easily as the stubble, and the work done gave: equal satisfaction. Farmers who had ex*, pressed the opinion prior io starting that it was impossible for either this implement or any other to operate in this paddock, were astonished at the 'result. The trial lasted altogether about four hours, and at tbe! con. elusion there was an unanimoua expression of approval of the work done.

A magnifioent display of Ashburton grown apples is now on view in the window of Mr Clayton (late Williamsorj and Preeoe) East street. They are the product of the orchard of Mr J. Porter, Allenton Nursery. Mr Porter has had great experience in growing fruit and foreßt treeß, as well as in the cultivation of stove and greenhouse plants—having served his time at one of the leading nurseries at Clifton, Brißtol, and subsequently filled the post of head gardener to Lady Gore-Langton, Stapleton Park, where he had a large-stuff under him. The result of tbe conjunction of skill in cultivation, with a suitable soil and Oiimats, wbb conclusively shown the other day in the already recorded fact that Mr Porter took the first honors both in table and cooking apples at the Dunedin Exhibition Fruit Show., There are over 100 varieties of apples platted out at Allenton, every kind of apple, tree raally worth growing being kept in stock. Sixty-six of these varieties are in cluded in the exhibit now displayed in Mr Clayton's window, the list comprising the followirig, viz : — Rhode Island Greening, Alfriston, Court of Wiok, Nelson codlin, Soarlet and Eusset Nonpareil; Ribston, Lemon, Stunner, Newtown, New Eng land, Stone.

We clip the following important testimonial from the " Ulawarra Mercury " (N.S.W.) of the 30th March. It needs no comment:— 11 Mr John Loveday, 0! the Bulli Mountain, writes to us that after Buffering for four years with acute gravel, he has experienced almost complete relief by using Sander and Sons' Euoalypti Extract. He Bays seeing the said Extract advertised in the 'Ulawarra Mercury,' his intense suffering induced him to obtain a bottle of the medicine from Mr Hosking, chemist, of this town, and that the use of it gave him great relief at once. He states that between the 10th March instant, when he obtained the first bottle 6f the extract, and the 19th, the use of that medicine continued to afford him relief, to which hi bad been a strange? for four years. Mr Loveday writes also that he has ioujgd the Eucalypti Extrao a care for rheumatism as well as gravel, He requests us to publish this information through the 'Mercury.' We have muoh pleasure in tfopaplying with Mr Loyeday's request, whose word cannot be doubted, and who caa have no objeot in view other than a pure desire to benefit Buffering humanity."— •Wi "I

NEW ZEALAND FLAX,

Although the boom in flax, or as ifc is now fashionable to call it " hemp," has ceased almost as suddenly as it arose, yet even at present market rates its production can be made to pay, and to pay well if the cost of freight can be, as we think it may and ought to be, reduced, especially if as appears probable the methods of manufacture at present in use can be improved upon as regards simplicity, efficiency, and cost. It is claimed for instance that a North Island inventor has discovered a process by the use of which prepared flax can be delivered in Wellington at £9 per ton, and if this or anything like this can be accomplished, the prices now ruling in London, £22 to £25 per ton, will pay handsomely. Moreover the present fall in prices is, we feel sure, largely due to the fault of flax-miliers, some of whom have being scamping their work, and j sending Home samples so inferior as to { have a prejudical effect upon the market generally. It will take time to get over this, but faithful work and care in forwarding only good samples to market (unless as avowedly inferior)|will restore confidence and have a corresponding effect on prices, Altogether, therefore, we think, it will be our own fault, aa colonists, if the foundations of a large and expanding expoit trade in tb.l3 article aro not firmly laid. Indeed, we are sanguine that the day will come, and that soon, when phorniium tenax will take its \ lace as a regular cultivated crop, and one which will pay better over the average of years than cereal crops. Under these circumstances it is quite worth while to open our eyes to the fact that other countries may seek to enter Into competition with us in phormium growing, and New Zealand cultivators should take care not to be distanced in the' race. We ought to be able to hold our own in the production of a plant which is indigenous to the country, but it is asserted that our Yankee friends are already about to make the attempt to cut our throats with our own sabre. A correspondent of the New Zealand " Herald," signing himself " Egmont," Bays : —A few years will see this industry transplanted to the United States if New Zealanders will not take the necessary steps to foster, develop, and retain it. Seeds of the best varieties will soon be on their way to the States, and not only will there be tbe saving in freight, alone equal to a good profit, as against New Zealand, but the fibre will be manu factured from those varieties which not only afford the largest quantity of fibre, but also the softest and best; add to this Jonathan will bring his inventive genius to bear on the preparation of it, and doubtless will soon produce a sample that will equal the native hand scraped, that will be worth 50 per cent more, and for which there will be double or treble the demand, as it will then be available for numerous textile purposes of a higher quality." This (he adds) "is ot course open to New/Zealanders to accomplish, but I doubt if they will even take the preliminary step of getting seeds, or plants, of the best varieties. The fact is, that what is called the flax industry is not regarded in the coloay as a perma nent one, and no one sees the great possibilities that would result in making it so ; the necessary steps are not even taken for making the best use ot the material that is converted into fibre, and which suffers such injury to its growih that it will take a long time to recover from it. This has been a specially good season for flax seed, and what has in duced these remarks upon the industry is, that I have heard inquiries here for seeds of the best. varieties (for which, I believe, Taranaki is famous) from America, but not from within the colony. When the last flax boom took place, a settler here collected the best varieties of pj}orniium tenax, suved the seed, and raised thousands of plants, but no one even cared to take them away. And yet it would form a valuable small industry, with, the best varieties, and even the present appliances for cleaning the fibre, if every small farmer would grow some and supply the nearest mill with it. What is wanted is that the best varieties should be grown, and that the fibre should be prepared with care, bo as to make a place of its own in the markets of the world and not as a substitute for other fibrrg." The advice tendered is sound and sensible, and may be acted upon mtk grea( adyintage,^

Inhuman wretches wh,o, foe the oonslderation of a few; pounds, undertake to » provide 1 for these tiny unfortunates. As long as money Is forthoom'ng the miserable waifs have a chance to live, hut on Instalments ceafclnß, i>; UriotloDg before there la a coroner's Inquest on the body of an lafaht, either drowned, starved or strangled; Sardly a week passes without the dead body of an infant being found in some of the public parks. Not a week since one of these poor little victims was discovered with its face still bearing the marks of the strsngler'B hand. In this case, as ■in others,- an Inquest wia held; arid the usual verdict of wilful murder against 'some persou or pereoos unknown 'was returned. It ie well known to the police thatthere are:( mid wives'in almost every suburb who, for tb.9 cum of £2, will * t»ke charge'of an infant, ia which case the parent may rely ' oh' never hearing of it aga'n unless it bo not the unwelcome riewa of its death, Recently a young woman, not 30 years ot age, waa arrested for this practice, and the evidence elicited clearly showed t'uat she had carried on this fearful trade for years unknown to her hnsband. Her mode of • baby farming ' waa to take charge of the infant for a lump sum and on the first convenient opportunity wilfully abandon it in one of ! the public gardens—sometimes on the very night; that the received it. . In ano ther case the eecret was revealed of four children having d.ci at one ' farm' inside of 12 months.

THE AMERICAN COLORED MINSTRELS

A crowded house greeted the opening enter tainment of this Company at the Oddfellows! Hall last evening, and the performance was carried through with an amount of "go" such as none but a thorough American troupe, could achieve.. The jamf d!ag, diaeipsed on the rising of the curtain made up of a" row »f genuine Africaners gorgeously got up, and setting off by contrast with their coal black countenances the fair complexion and flaxen hair of the one lady artiste, with a background formed of, the band in scarlet,jiiß4forin, was excellent, and. the quickstep and overture with which the bill opened were A*clapitally given. Indeed throughout, the time kept was ' admirable. A number of spijjgs #j|re given with great spirit, the. choruses Being first rate and the antics of the bones and tambos (of whom there were s'x) exceedingtoslnusing. Among the best of these wete "The Ooort* house in the Sky"; "Upon my Mother's Knee,","A Hundred FathoouDfsp," and "The Father of the LittleßlaokCoon,"all of which earned a recall. • A comical sketch, "Is Marriage a Failure/" evoked lond laughter arid brought down'the curtain for the usual interval.' Some selections by the orchestra, capitally, even, introduced the drilling of the Black Watch which; was very prettily performed in Zouave costume, the . evolutions and manual exercise being rendered with remarkable precision. From a spectacular point of view this was,^pet)unsoj^£c best thing of the evening^ as wasjundoabtiedly (he next from a musical one. ; .Thi». ; wa§ tiae really beautiful trombone solo «'Killaraey^inven by Mr Frank Dupuy, and the equally; choice per formance of "The Last Rose 'of Summer," given in response to am ehthusiasttb encore.

HOW FILLS ARE HADE

The Custom of taking medicine in the form of pills dates far back in history. The object is to enable us to swallow easily in a condensed form disagreeable and nauseous, but Very use* ful,- drugs. -To what - -vast dimension* pill taking has grownmav be imagihed,When we say that in England alone about 2,000,000,000 two thousand! million) i pills are consumed every y^r In early days pills were made slowly by. hand, as the demand was'.cqfnpara« tively small. : To-day, they are produced in infinitely greater rapidity by, machines iespeci* ally contrived for the purpose,,and w^hjgreater accuracy, too, in the proportions !of the various ingredients employed.' . "^ * .7:4 No form of medication Oan be better than & pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared; But right here occurs the difficulty. Easy as it 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. Most of them either, undershoot; or overshoot the mark. As everybody takes pills of some kind, it may be well to mention,,what a ; ex*d, safe* and reliable pill should be, j Now, itoea one feels dull and sleepy, and his more or tea pain in the head, sides, and back, he may be sure his bowels are constipated,-, "and fma? liver uegish, To remedy this unhappy; rate of things there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will act like a charm by stimulating the liver into doing its duty,l and ridding the digestive organs of the accumulated poisonous »at . ■ ■•;■-.' •■ £ >,:;*? ; } <yj $V - '' But' the good pill does not gripe and pain us, neither does it make us sick and miserable for a few hou» 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 whick the? contain. Such pills are harmful,?! and Jhould never be used. They sometimes eyettTptwiace hemorrhoids. Without having any paftjptfar desire to praise one pill above another, we may, nevertheless, name Mother (SeigeJ's Pills, manufactured by the well known noose of A. J. White, Limited, 35 Farringdon Road, Lqndon, and now sold by alchemists and medicine vendors, as the only one we know of that actually posseses 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^fanner onstipation, as nearly all other pills dol- As further and crowning merit, Mother SSiM'si Pills are covered-with a tasteless and aaitnle ' coating, which causes them to resemble pearls thus rendering them as pleasant to tfreLrtalatW as they aye effective in curing disease.
