The, amendments are in tho scheduhs of the Bill, and are as follows:—Iu Schedule A, Oiass 1 (foods and articles for human con sumption), the i^em " vinrgar, table, not exceeding 5 per cent of acidity, sixpence I per gallon duty," is altered to read " not \ exceeding 6 5 per cent, of acidity."

HAGLEY PARK The Public Domains Act 1881 Amend ment Bill relating to Hagley Paik, Christ-; church, was put through its final stages, j BILL THROWN OUT The House went into Committee on the Designation of Districts Act Amend ment Bill Mr Pirani immediately moved that the chairman leave the chair The amendment was carried without discussion by 23 to 21, and the Bill thus killed TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION Mr Reeves moved the second reading of the Manual and Technical Elementary Instruction Bill for the promotion of elementary technical instruction. He eald that there had been a feeling through out the colony for some time that these tenches of education should be taught in our public schools, and the Bill provided that manual instruction should be part of the public schools course. The Bill had j been asked for by a majority of the Education Boards in the colony, and he . hoped that it would prove acceptable to the House Mr Eamshaw held that It was impos sible for teachers in our public schools to teach boys any of onr technical industries, and it would, therefore, be a waste of time and money to initiate the System Mr McLacblan did not consider the Bill at all called for

Mr Saunders opposed the Bill. The Minister of Education had said that he had net sufficient money for educational purposes, and yet he wanted to create a new department Sir R. Stout ssid that he would sup port the Bill, although he did net agren with all its provisions, because he felt it would be better if more attention were given to scientific education. He thought if anything thac we had erred on the literary side in our education in the pas*- Mr G. W. Russell said that the Bill had Ma entire support and concurrence, and he commended Mr Reeves for its Intro- Suction Mr Hall, Mr H< ~m, Dr Newman, Mr Mc Gowan, and Mr Hall-Jones supported the Bill, and Mr Meredith and Mr Flat man opposed it Mr Reeves in reply said that the Bill provided simply for technical education and it was absurd to argue that it meant teaching trades in the schools. Nearly all the opposition to the Bill came from Canterbury members. Whether the Bill passed or not the grants for ordinary educational purposes would be exactly the samei He deprecated the attempt that had been made in this debate to raise the cry of town v. country, by the contention that under the Bill the country (schools would be robbed of their just dues The second reading was carried by 32 to 5. and jthe committal of the Bill eet down for next day Tha House rose at 12.40 o m.

Messrs McDonald and McDiarmid, suc cessors to S. Anderson, call public attention to their advertisement in this paper. Busi ness ia now in lull swing, and preparations are now being made for a gigantic sale of boots and shoes.—(Advt.) Those who never read the advertisement in their newspapers miss more than they pretmme. Jonathan Kenison, of Bolan, Worth Co., lowa, who had been troubled with rheumatism in hia back, arms and ..boulders read an item in his paper about how a prominent German citizen of Ft Madison had been cured. He procured the same medicine, and to use his own words: 'It cured me right up.' He also says: 'A neighbor and his wife were both sick in bed with rheumatism. Their boy was over to my house and said they were so bad he had to do the cooking. I told him of Chamber lain's Pain B_lm and how it had cured me. He got a bottle, and ib cured them up in a week For salo by AfJHBUfiIW DRUG Ogsfan?.

DANGERS OF TRAVEL. The dangers incidental to travelling seen, to be increasing rather than diminishing. Almost daily it is our painful duty to record appaling deaths, on land and sea, and it would almost seem as if the progress we are supposed to have made in scientific i appliances, in place of minimizing, enhances the chance, of dangsr. But on more carefu"' ' co:. sideration we find it is not so much that | science is at fault us that men are careless. I Carelessness is the actual cause of a great | percentage of the most terrible catastrophes and deaths, and as long as responsible per sons jgnore this fact the present death-rate will continue. To permit the kidneys ;o rot away, or to suffer lime stone deposits to accumulate in the bladder, is criminal care lessness, especially when a sure and safe cure is obtainable. Mr Thomas J. R. Bakhap, Mine Proprietor, Hobarfc, Tasmania, says : * I am pleased to say that some years ago I derived great and lasting benefit from the use of Warner's Safe Cure. At that time 1 suffered from a distressing kidney disease, and although I tried many medicines I derived very little benefit from them. I was then advised to try Warner's Safe Cure, and took three or four bottles, at the same time strictly conforming to the dietary rules prescribed I am pleased to say that the Sate Cure completely cured me, and I have not suffered in the least from the complaint from that day to this, and consider my cure per manent. The other day I. recommended a friend to try Warner's Safe Cure for a com plaint similar to my own, and he already experiences much relief, and is confident that the medicine will effect a complete cure in his case.'
