Some Genuine Settlement

rl A travelling correspondent of the " New Zealand Times," m the course of an interesting letter upon the West Coast townships between Wanganui and New Plymouth thus refers to »«Stratford•:■—"Pour miles from Ngaire we come to Stratford. Unlike Hawera, where the bulk of the land is held ' by a few capitalists, who employ £ boy or two, to occasionally ride

round the runs to give an eye to the cattle and sheep, the land for a large radius around Stratford is all cut up into small farms, arid m very few in stances does an occupier hold over 300 acres, the majority having from 50 to 200 acres. The result of this is that there is already a very large population m the district, and anyone riding up the back roads would be surprised at the large number of farmhouses to be seen where one would scarcely expect to find any occupation at all. When Mr Newton King first started his auction sales of cattle m Stratford | some years back, there would frequently be only two or three old cows offered for sale, and if the auctioneer succeeded m making a commission of 3s to 4s, he considered it a good day's work; but now,although there are two auctioneers m the place, it is not an unusual thing to see from 800 to 1000 head yarded, and for all of them to be sold, with scarcely an exception. This speaks volumes for the progress the district has already made."

Round Europe on Bicycles.

Two enterprising cyclists, Mr Walter Goddard, of Leeds, * and Mr James Edmunds, a Brixton gentleman, arrived m London on Tuesday, after having accomplished the remarkable feat of journeying round Europe on bicycles. The two gentlemen left London last summer with the intention of making the tour round Europe on wheels, never leaving their machines except when absolutely necessary, such ais crossing the Channel, etc. With the exception of such instances the whole journeying was performed on bicycles. All they took with them was an ordinary tourist's knapsack stocked with such few neces saries as they might require during this extended tour. Starting from London last July, they rode their bicycles down to Dover, where they and their machines were conveyed across the Channel to Calais, whence they went on through Abbeville and Amiens to Paris, and thence across France into Switzer land, staying for a short time en routs at such places as they considered attractive" and interesting. From Switzerland they got into Austria, journeying through Gratz, Vienna, and Buda Pesth, south wards to Tempsvar and Rronstadt. Thenco they and their machines were conveyed across the South Carpathian Mountains into Roumania, and so on to i Bucharest, Giurgevo, and across the Danube to Rustchuk and Varna, thence through Turkey as far as Constantinople, where they took boat to Odessa, where, resuming their bicycles, they proceeded on through the Russian Empire to Mos cow and §t Petersburg, They journeyed from the Russian capital to Riga, where they took steamer across the Baltic to Stockholm, going across, Sweden and Norway north as far as Burton and then southwards, recrossing the Baltic to Dant zig, through Prussia to Berlin, Potsdam and Bremen, and back through Holland into Belgium, staying at such places as Antwerp, Brussels, Bruges, etc., to Ost end, thence to Calais as stated on Tuesday morning. The cyclists were everywhere well received, and expressed themselves much gratified with their remarkable tour.

A. Successful Journalist.

Mr Edward Lloyd, who has jnsfc died, at the age of 75, was proprietor of the London " Daily Chronicle ''and " Lloyd s Weekly News." Commencing hia pub lishing career at the age of 16 by the issue of a system of shorthand inrented by himself, he soon threw himself heartily into varied literary ventures, and also nto the great conflict against the taxes on knowledge. In 1842 he issued a penny illustrated paper dealing largely with notices of books, theatricals, and gossip, the design beinj? to keep the news within such limits as would not infringe the law. He afterwards started "Lloyd's News and travelled the length and breadth of England superintending the advertising, and retained unabated confidence m the paper. When turned sixty years of age, Mr Lloyd thought he would run a daily paper. He accordingly gave £30,000 for the copyright of a Clerkenwell daily local paper, noted for the great number of its small advertisements, and this was spiritedly developed by Mr Lloyd into the London "Daily Chronicle."

An Emperor in Trouble.

A few weeks ago (says the "New York Sun") the young Emperor of China had a narrow escape from a thorough trouncing, if not worse, at the hands of a party of beggars m his capital It is a favorite pastime of the young Exnperor to wander m

ordinary Chinese clothes throu h th< streets of Pekin, to lounge arou ■(! Hit: corners, and to drink his tea i ihs most crowded restaurants, m nrdw that he may learn what his s ) ; t: think of him and his Govern, ','■ He runs no risk of having his i ;. it; discovered, for m Pekin the :vr <A photography is not practised, arc con sequently the people at large h^ ,1 idea of the personal appearance o F H;;; sovereign. The Emperor had got but;: : ho; t distance from his palace on >!■!■ of these trips of investigation, li ;.c onv afternoon, when he saw a Cuv^e ! beggar picking the pocket of a ri^peefc able merchant. The Emperor proi.:, I!y caught the beggar by the back i tl:■.■•. blouse, cuffed his ears, and forced m. to return to the merchant th : si I stolen from his pocket. Nc , -h Pekin beggars and pickpocket' ; ; protected by a kind of unwrittei '. Beggary is recognised as a legi i; » employment, and the beggars n ■ r: tute a guild which has for itsprime b i the mutual protection of all me . ;■ ---of the craft. Anyone who intt with a beggar m the prosecul s >• ,-■;'' his employment exposes himself . ■ vengeance of the guild, and this.- !■ geance generally takes the roug :•• ■■[ ready form of the flogging of the loper by as many comrades as c got together- Of course, the young Emperor nothing about this abuse, whic : obtained for many decades m hi capital. After cuffing the beggars ears he went his way quite unapprehensive, and brought up m a restaurant but a few rods from the scene of the row. He had hardly taken the first sip of his cup of tea when everyone m the res taurant was startled by a wild hulla baloo. The landlord went to the door. He found 50 beggars before his house, under the leadership of the fellow whose ears the Emperor had boxed. They ordered the landlord to hand over immediately to them the young man who had offended against all the unwritten laws and precedents of the Pekin guild of beggars. The land lord recognised their demands as per fectly legitimate, and hurried to quell the disturbance by delivering up the offender. The young Emperor, however, very strenuously objected to being delivered up, and while making his remonstrances spoke such superfine Chinese that the landlord perceived he had to deal with the son of some big wig. As a special favor, therefore, he offered to parley with the band of beggars till their intended victim could summon some of his friends to his as sistance. The Emperor gladly accepted the suggestion. He despatched a mes senger at once to the Governor of the Palace, commanding him to hurry to the spot with two companies of soldiers. The Governor and the soldiers came, rescued their Emperor, and lugged the 50 beggars off to gaol. The landlord got £50 for his considera tion. The leader of the beggars and three of his comrades, who had helped him to demand the Emperor from the landlord, were executed the next day. The rest of the lioters were imprisoned for terms varying between five and ten years each. The Emperor has given orders to the Pekin officials that the authorised system of begging must cease.

HOW PILLS ARE MADE No form of medication can be bettcu 'ban a pill, provided only it is intelligently pre pared. 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 fchem either under shoot 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 one feels dull and sleepy, and has more or less pains m the head, sides, and back, he may be sure his bowels are constipated, and his liver sluggish. To remedy this unhappy state of things there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will act like a charm by stimulathig the liver into doing its duty, and ridding the digestive organs of the accumulated poisonous matter. But the good pill does not gripe and pain us, neither does it make us sick and miserable for a few 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 he disease itself. The griping caused by most pills is the result of irritating drugs which they contain, Such 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 awl medicine vendors, as the only one we know of that actually possess every desirable quality. They remove the pressure upon the brain, correct the liver, and cause the bowels to act with ease and egularity. They neyer gripe or pro duce the slightest sickness of the stomach, or any other unpleasant feeling or symptom. Neither do they induce further constipation, as nearly all other pills do. As a further and crowning merit, Mother Seigel's Pills ar« covered with a tasteless and harmless coating, which causes them to reaemble pearls, thus rendering them us -pleasant to the palate as they are effective in curing diseases. If you have a severe cold ancf are threatened with a fever, with pains m the head, back and limbs, one or two doses will break up the cojd aijcl prevent the fever. A coated tongue with a braoltish taste m the mouth is caused by foul matter m the stomach. A dose of Seigel's Pills

The follows ing letters were shown to me, and I at once begged permission to copy them for the Press. They come from a highly responsible soiree, and may be received without ques tion. MESSAGE from Gkorojs James Gost- Liro, L.D.S., R.C.5.1., Ph. C.1., Licentiate m Pharmacy and Dental Surgeon. Stowmarket, July 18, 18S9. To Mb White, The enclosad remarkable cure should, I think, be printed and circulated m Suffolk, The statement was entirely voluntary, and is genuine m fact and detail, —G.J.G. "To the Proprietors of Mother Seigel's Syrup," " Gentlemen*. —The following remarkable cure was related to me by the husband, Mary Ann Spink, of Finborough, Suffolk, was for over twenty years afflicted with rheumatism and neuralgia, and although comparatively a young woman at the time she was attacked (she is now fifty), she was compelled, m consequence, to walk with two sticks, and even then with difficulty and pain. About a year and a half ago she was advised to try Mother Seigel's Syrup, and after taking three bottles and two boxes of Seigel's Operasing Pills, the use of her limb was restored, and she is now able to walk three miles to Stowmarket with ease m three quarters of an hour. Any sufferer who deubts this story can fully ascertain its truthfulness by paying a visit to the village and enquiring of the villagers, who will rcetify to the facts." "Appended is the husband's signatu c to the statement* " (R. Spink), G. S. Sostling, Ipswich Street, Stowmarket. This is certainly a very pitiable case, and the happy cure wrought by thi3 simple but powerful remedy, must move the sympathy of all hearts m a common pleasure. This poor woman had been a cripple for twenty of her best years; years iv which she should have had such comfort and enjoyment as jlie has to give. Bufc s on the contrary \ she w»9 a miserable burden te herself and a source of care to her friends. Now, at an age when the rest of us are growing feeble, she, m a manner, renews her youth and almost begins a new existence. What a blessing and what a wonder it is ! No one who knows her, or who reads her story, but will be thankful that the good Lord has enabled men to discover a remedy capable of bringing about a cure that reminds us if, we speak it reverently—of the age of miracles. *
