THE AUSTRALIAN TEAM.

[P£R PEBSS ASSOCIATION.] London, June 16. W. G. Grace will captain the South of England Eleven against the Australians. v. The " Daily News " says it is evident the, tour of the Australian Eleven will hardly be the success it was expected. The team will have no chance against re presentative' English elevens, unless saved by Turner,-who, the "News" considers, is the greatest .bowler on a wet wicket that haj3 ever, appeared.

Died in a Lighthouse.

A pitiable story comes from Bed Island lighthouse, opposite the mouth of the Saguenry, Quebec. The guardian of this lighthouse was until lately Eleazar Frazer and he had spent the summer on the is land with his wife and family and an assistant, Alfred Cote. Early in Novem ber, as was their wont, his wife and family left him to return for the winter to their home at Trois Pistoles. By the' rules of the .department he was obliged to remain on the island until 10th December. Soon after the depar ture of his family, he was taken ill and was about; to die. Desiring to breathe his last in the midst of his family, nightly efforts were made by his assistant to signal friends on Green Island and the mainland by means of bonfires to come and take him off. Finally, the signals were noticed, and the next day a brave crew from Green Island endeavoured to reach him in an open boat, which they finally succeeded in doing, after much hardship and risk. Rolling the dying i man in blankets, they put him into their. frail craft, with the intention of en deavouring to return to Green Island, but a sudden storm forced them to put back to Red Island, where Mr Frazer expired.

A Glutted Market.

The position of clerks in England, it is said, is rapidly going from bad to worse. At a meeting of the Liverpool Clerks' Association recently it was stated that during the last few years a number of salaries under £50 a year found for mem bers had increased by 100 per cent. The apprenticeship system is worked to such an extent that salaries are in hundreds of cases altogether dispensed with, and when they are given they are the merest and' slenderest of pittances. Goldsmith's parson was passing rich on £40 a year, but the clerk, as the Liverpool "Mercury" points out, has not the advantages of the coun try parson; he has to live in a crowded city, pay dearly for rent and many things he requires, and he, too, has to keep up some show of good appearance. - The members of the Liverpool Association talk of forming branch associations throughout the kingdom, and of making some move ment towards obtaining increased salaries for clerks. It is difficult to see how any movement can succeed in face of the notorious over supply. The position of clerks in England is due to the widespread notion that it is far more ' genteel' to starve at quill driving than to live com fortably by means of some trade or handi craft. There is every prospect of the mar ket for clerks becoming quite as glutted in New Zealand as it is in England, if we have not reached that pitch already. The true remedy is to bring about a sounder state of public feeling in regard to the value and objects of the education which is placed within the reach of every New Zealand child, It is not given for the purpose simply of enabling lads to do -without manual labor and crowd into an already ill-paid and overstocked profession, It should make the artisan or the agricul turist more efficient, besides giving him a more intelligent interest in life, but as- Buredly it ought not to render the work of the artisan less popular.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS

[per press association. A SIi <><■!) Report. .;'". Wellington, June 17. Mr T. G." Richardson, Sheep Inspector, Marlborough ..district, has forwarded a report to the Stock Department, in which he states that all wild sheep hunters were discharged at the end of May, with one exception- Since' September last 1209 wild sheep have been killed. Of these 964. were unmarked, and of others 274 bore the mark of Mr J. Kerr. None of the sheep killed showed signs of scab, which he considers a clear proof that there are no scabby sheep in the bush. He adds that he has not seen any scab since last September, and should it be found in any flock now, he is,certain that bush sheep will not be the cause, but it will be through careless mustering and bad dipping of sheep-owners. JtailWKv .Employees' C^rievaiict** The Railway delegates were entertained at a smoke concert last night." Mr Tay lor, M.H.R., for Sydenliam, in respond ing to the toast of the House of Repre sentatives, said he had been informed that the Railway Commissioners intended to ask Parliament to vote sufficient money by -which to increase the wages o. the State railway people. Mr Hoban, President of the Society, remarked that the delegates had been received with the utmost courtesy by the Commissioners. The Conference was resumed this morn ing. Continuing upon'the hours of labor question, Mr Maxwell put several -in stances before the delegates, and asked how they would be treated. Mr Hoban replied that the cases cited were exceptions, and the Executive were alive to tlae fact that mutual concessions would have to be made. On the labor question the exe cutive were arguing on broad principles. An example of an engine-driver who was away from home 13J hours a day, but of that term he was "standing" six hours, was taken. Mr X) wen "said the Society did not wish anything unreason able, but what they proposed to -do was this : After a man's 48 hours for the week were finished, pay him-overtime; for the six hours required to make the four clear days, and then have him. relieved by another man, or, in other words, institute " three-leg " service. Mr Hoban, in le ply to MaKerrow, said emphatically that the oxecutive required the driver always to be paid for the time he is booked off. Train**-*»■»». Dr Grace has replied to the Trades and Labor Council re the Tramways, .to the effect that the Company have carried out in good faith the recommendations agreed upon at a conference oil 31st May, and holds the Conncil to that undertaking, which, he-states, 1 .was deliberately en tered' into and freely published. The un dertaking in r question was that the Com pany were to have 3 months to improve the traffic before being called on to make any increases to emoluments of em ployees. The Company, he adds, mil be quite willing to improve the position and emoluments of employment on the ex piration of 3 months, or sooner if traffic warrants it. The Council consider the matter to-night. A JLibcl Action: Dunedin, June 17. An interesting action for criminal libel will engage the attention of the R.M. next week.-

HOW PILLS ARE MADE

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 ~ useful, 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 ye: v. In early days, pills were made slowly by hand, as the demand was comparatively small. To day they are prodticed in infinitely greater rapidity by machines especially contrived for the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various ingre dients employed No form of medication can be bette» Mian ! 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 them 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 in 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 stimulating 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 j which they contain, Such pills are harmful, ! and should never be used. They sometimes even produce hemorrhoids. Without having I any particular desire to praise one pill above another, we may, nevertheless, name Mother Seigel'a Pills, manufactured by the well known house of A. J. White, Limited, 35 Farringdon.Boad, London, and now sold by. all chemists and 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 never 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 are covered with *a tasteless and harmless coating, which causes them to resemble pearls, thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate as they are effective in curing diseases. If yoit 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 Pills 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. Unlike many kinds of pills, they do not make you feel worse before you arc better. They are, without doubt, the beat family physio ever discovered. They remove all obstruction to the natural functions in ithcr sex without any unpleasant effects. It should be cxpinincd that this mos i remarkable cure Is due to the fact tha rheumatism is a disease of the blood Indigestion, constipation, and dy^pepsid canoe the poison from the jwirliaily digested food to enter the circulation, and the blond deposits it vi tho joints and muscles. This i.s rheumatism. Seigel's -Sprup cowed.* the' digestion, and so stpps the further fonnnution auil deposit, of tho poison. II then removes from tho system ihc poison already tiic.ro. It is not a cure-all. It doti* its wonderful work entirely by its mysterious action upon the digestive organs. Hut when we remem ber that nine-tents of oul 1 ailrnwilH arise out of those organs wo can understand why Seigcls. Syrup cures any diseases that appears to be so different in their nature.

by the family elicited no solution of th c mystery, but eventually this young person hit upon a possible explanation thereof. "I think, Mrs ," she said (it is notice able in this connection that there no "mis tresses" in New Zealand) " I have found out how these tumblers came to break," and then she proceeded to demonstrate how she polished the inside of the -glasses in tlio usual manner by inserting a. hand around which a cloth was wrapped,, dexterously turning cloth and glass until cleanliness and brightness were effected, 1 "and," she added, "in doing this I must have cut the glass with my diamond ring \ The Continental gossip of the " Glasgow Herald " writes :—What will the German Emperor do next 1 is now the general cry. He has clone so many startling things already and takes such an evident delight in making men's tongues wag, that nobody would be much surprised if he were to propose a Con gress for universal disarmament. Men have already become convinced that he is sincerely religious, and that he has no ambftion for bloodshed. A, little time ago, wishing to realise the sensation of a soldier on guard, he put nimself on duty for twenty-four hours in an extemporised guard-room within his own garden at Potsdam, and stood sentry during four spells of two hours each' during that time. He wore the uniform of a private soldier, carried a rifle, and ate of the soldier's ordinary fare. But unlike Peter the Great, who did these things often enough, in real earnest—mixing with other soldiers and lying down beside them—William II took his little diversion all alone. No officer came to relieve him; and, in fact, only ona; or two persons of his entourage were aware of what he- was doing until he had done it..

The finest piece of scrvant-gtillism on re cord occurred, says the "Evening Press," in a Wellington household the other day. For sonio time the mistress of the house in question had had reasou to feel aggrieved that her stock of tumblers was steadily lessening in number owing to breakages. Now, these breakages were of a peculiar character. The tumblers in question used simply to fall into two parts, the fracture being a perfectly clean one, and suggestive of the glass having been intentionally cut.
