THE OVERLAND ROUTE TO SUTHERLAND FALLS

TEE FJ.3ST LADY 10 MAKE THE

JOURNEY.

An InveroarglH lady, who hss made the ->v tUniJ j juraey to th 9 Sutherland Falls, sends an aucouot of he? trfp to the "Southland T m=a." Writing from MHfoitd Sound 00 the 8:h in*t,. she says: —"I may oay th*t I have ouj'.yed my trip; I have aeon what no 0 h"r womsn hae aeen, and I cannot but think how many of my sex oouid and would enter Into tbis field of exaroUe—both mental and physical— (f hoy would but muka up i heir minds to undortaka arson a trip as I have •coomplfshed. I havo ccme f-om the foot of Te A au to Milford Sound in side of six days ; camped oat all the time, and used no other conveyance than a palling boat. I Intend to return the «»roe way if not prevented, and ha a living witness of what may ba •coomp'iaaed aveu by a woman."

The lady oomp'ains of inaccuracies ia the guide books. The distance from hut to fcut at the foot of the Balloon Sad lie la given es 3£ mlleß, whereas It took ton houra to accomplish the distance Of the view frjm rho top of the aadd'e, she wrlfea :—•• The Been ■■-> I cannot pretaod to describe ; its magnifioenca is toa great for me, and requires to be seen, for each person eeea diffaroi tly, and therefore it is necessary for those who wish to see soma thing that will indelibly impress them (or the rest of tbeir days, to take this trip. Finishing onr mid-day meal, we followed the eaddle towards Balloon over beow grapß »n<i most agreeable travelling- We approacbed the majestic mouttiin as it rises fi om the saddle, and no matter how many fl >wer gardens you may have seen, here stretched along evaiy aore of ground was a profusion of alpine flowerß in such variety ard beauty of coloring as was overpowering. Afier travelling over and trampling down this gorgeous livery of Nature, we descended towards the Castle Mountain with the Jervois glacier directly in front. The constant cracking of its artillery was most startling, and co sharp were the reverberations from the splitting of the ice that it eeemed to bring us to 'attention momentarily. On the day we croaked, this cannonading occurred at interva s of 15 minutes. The descent took us from this lovely flowery path into the beech forest, and we continued on the track until it lad ua past ■ the Boa-ing Creek €*il, Were this fall within 150 miles of Melbourne, and it required £50,000 to make a road to it, the cum would be forthcoming ; but as it is a part of the property of the New Zealand Government I fully expect It to remain hidden just where it is, for no. one tells you of it nor have tho guide booka thought it oven worth mention "

Tha lady speaks in h'gi terms of praisa of the work being done in mat ing a track by Morgan and party on the Te A nan tide, bat has a good deal to say in disparagement of tbe huts apd tbe arrangements in connection with them, Bhe and her oomparion pre ferred their toot. Of the track to the ialla she wr:tea:— :i '3 he track to the fall from the rlv. r b?d— t ell, if I thought It would in any v. ay r< fleet on those who i rofesß lo majtd trac s, then it would be incumbent for me to pats it by—but it hae iiflioted a wound on me that has nearly cose me my life, md I shall carry the marks of it to my grave. Ncr do I stand alone; another lady who accompanied tbe Count'fee de Amerlinp up the samo track was \rithin a shade of losing her life. Not only is the track rou*h in the extreme, bat stumps and, worst of all, slight eapiiogs, some .a few inches above the ground and othera about from 12ln to 18in are still standing ac they grew, and m both oar cases tbe shorter one tripped os, and in my case tbe longer one entered close behind my left ear and tore a lartje scalp wound. In the other lady's oaee the taller stake struck h<v 1 ft breast and slid under her armpit: had it en'erad her dross tha conrequenoo inset have been fatal. Each of us haß paid a hoavy periaity for our visit to the fall, and one wh}ch destroyed ■ what would otheiwiso have been a pleasure— to have beheld this majestic waterfall." On reaching Milford Bound Mjt Suther land and Mr James Malcolm.received the visitors—the lad 7 was accompanied by a con of "Adam—with every attention, »nd did everything possible for them,

NEW ZEALAND BUTTER AND CHEESE IN LONDON

HOW THEY SHOULD BB PACKED.

A correspondent of the " Auckland Star " in the course of an account of an interview with Mr C. J. Bone, produce merchant, 55 to 58, Whitechapel road, London says :—We then went on to talk .of the New Zealand dairy produce that had ceme pver here, and its, faults and failings. The burden of Mr Bone's, song was that both New Zealand butter and - cheese has been heavily handicapped so far : by bad packing. "The butter," said he, '• should be packed in firkins (not boxes) of oak with galvanised iron hoops. The firkins should be of uniform size, and (when fu 1) of uniform weight, and contain say from s°lb to' 6olb. The greatest care should be taken to distinguish butters of different color and quality by separate brands on the firkins. TJie first quality of butter should be of uniform color— -a full.straw is best—and contain about 3perc.nt of salt. It would rrobably fetch is 2d a lb wholesale. .The second quality should contain 4 per cent of salt, and would realise Bdalb perhaps." The highest price Mr Bone ever paid for | New Zealand butter was 116s a cwt., and the lowest 56s ; the average runs 90s to 100s per cwt, Too much stress cannot possibly be laid. Mr Bone considers, on the importance of the New Zealand dairies adopting a uniform color for their butter, and (above all) of pack ing and branding their produce. Hitherto it ha? been impossible to tell where the butter and cheese came from or to identify it in any way. Mr Bone, though the largett buyer of New Zealand cheese in Londor, could not even tell me from whiph jrovince the best qualities came. "We have had some New Zealand cheese," ha said "equal to the finest English Chfddar. I believe it came from Canterbury, but can't be certain. Had it been branded, myself and half-a-dozen others would ever after have been on the look out for the brand. I paid 56s a cwt for the lot, and thought it.cheap. New Zealand cheese is never sold as New Zealand cheese. It differs too much for that. Retailers class it as Cheddar or AmericJDi, according to its quality and color, and it fetches all prices, from 36s to 565. The finer the quality, the more readily the cheese sells. There is naturally an almost unlimited market for what folks call "prime Cheddar." ; New Zealand cheese, like New Zealand ' butter, is badly packed. Each cheese should be from 50 to 6olb in size and be exported in a case of its own. In this form they are easy to sell and easy to move about. Between the lid of the case and the cheese a thin veneer board covering the entire surface of the latter should be placed. This protects the cheese from many ; dangers, and is technically known as a scale-. ' bonrd. ! lam reminded that the New Zealand butter ' should not be wrapped up in muslin, but merely have a pie;e laid over the top. Every firkin must be plainly marked " Pure Butter," and as I have explained, branded, * For good butter and cheese arriving in this j country any time between October and March, ' there is practically an unlimited demand,

DAIRY PRODUCE SHOW.

The dairy produce show at the Exhibition which opened on Friday at Dunedin, U very attractive. The total number of exhibit* is 107. The centre of the bay is occupied with a lefty pyiamid cf cheese, from the huge c,o pounder to the smallest loaf, and banners, shrubs, evergreens, and flowering plants r.dorn it, p.- d the wh le of the bay in which the sho.v is held is most tastefully decorated. The honey is phov/n on tables at the foe I of the cheese pyramid, and loojss beautifully white. find dear. The |buttei is a'so of first rate

quality. The fact that the first prize for half a ton of butter fo: exp <xt, goes to a Chinese firm, Chew Chong's Jubilee Factory, at New Plymouth, has caused people 10 open their eyes, George, of New Plyn.outh, takes second, and Cuddie, of Mosgiel, takes third. In cheese, the silver cup for a ton of cheese between 301b and 6olb goes to the Bruce Dairy Factory, which also takes the prize for half a ton from 9'b to I2lb each. The same factory takes five other firsts, and the Wood lands Factory first for two cheeses made since rst October, J. and R. Cuddie take two firsts for butter in jars and tins, and B. G, Naylor, Clyde, (or box, Chew Chong second, and George third. Mrs Jaffray, East Taieri, takes two firsts for rolls of butter, as well as the prize of Mr Arnott, of the " Irish Times," for the best ten rolls. The defunct Roseville Dairy Factory takes a first award for preserved milk, fourteen months old. In honey, J. G, Brickell tikes first for both extracted and comb, the Canterbury Commission being second in comb, and Hobbs Bros third.

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 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 a»-e consumed every ypor 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 Oan be better than k. 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 good, safe, and reliable pill should be. Now, when on? feels dull and sleepy, apd has more or less pain in the head, sides, and back, he may be sure his bowels are constipated, and his liver uegish, 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 digescive 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 the 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 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 grips or produce the slightest sickness of the stomach, or any other unpleasant feeling or symptom. Neither do ihey induce further onstipation, as nearly all other pills do. As further and crowning merit, Mother Seigel's PiJls are covered with a tasteless and harmles coating, whjch causes them to resemble pearls thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate as they are etlective 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 partia'ly decayed food in the stomach and bowels produqes 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 are better. Ihey are, without doubt, the best family physic ever discovered. They remove air obstruction to the natural functions in either ex withoutany unpleasant effects.
