AMBULANCE CLASSES.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir, —Mr McKay is to be congratulated Upon the enthusiastic inception of the Ashburton St John's Ambulance Associa tion, ia which he has tak n such an energetic interest. It seems a pity, though, that any earnest students should be shut out from the bent fio of the lectures because of want of accommodation. In every such class there is always a per centage of ephemeral students, whose ardour co Is down after the third or

fourth kcfuie- Yet thty take the place in the early U ctures of others who would carry their studies to better results, but who fini a d fticulty in picking up the thread of a course of lectures, unless following them through from the be ginning. Should there be any number of disappointed students, perhaps the committee would see their way to duplicate the lectures in a manner similiv to that Professor Brown adopted a Canterbury College a few yeera ago, when it ww impossible to accommodate all his students in his lecture room at the first delivery of each kc ure. It may be that Saturday,is the only time suitable for ladies and lecturers alike to hold the ladiau' classes ; but if another time were as convenient, Saturday— being the market day, with the chance of county people sometimes stopping over to Sunday—would be a uuitable time to hold • class for country people; ladles one Saturday, gentlemen the nexcj or in one mixed clam for an abridged crurse. By this means, too, the elder pupils of the schools could be instructed, for it is to them that we look for leavening the country with the knowledge of ambulance work, and, straink'g under the high pressure of inspectors' passes, which seems the Alpha and Omega of cnr educational system at present, teachers cannot ba expected lo add thin to their already exacting syllabus of work. If a few enthusiastic students would undertake to carry on junior chases in j centres around Ashburton, ambulance work would rapidly spread through the country, and be of immediate service to the very people for whom such knowledge Is most essential—viz , those remote from medical assistance. Free passes to am bulance class teachers might be granted to Obertaey, Hind?, and Mount Sotnera— (I look to tfakaia establishing a branch of its own* with a junior class at Methven) — by the Government, who grant free patses to many M.H.R's and other people whose services would not be nearly so beneficial to the people at large. It would be a change of scene to the town students, and country people would make them welcome to stay all nigh*-. The benefit:

to the student teachers would also be very great, for none learn a subject; with deeper interest or more minutely than those who feel that they have to teach others. It was thus that the Bay Dr

Chalmers learned French

TTe started a

French class when his knowledge of that

language was but a few lessons in advance of his pupils, and the feeling that he had to meet his class prepared was the very bent taskmaster he could have.

Hoping that the Oommi tee will consider some way of enlarging the scope of iheir

operations, and with the very best wishes for their success, —I am, etc ,

Ruapuna, June 4.

Granny Gorton's Birhday.

Saturday, January 21, was a great day in Central Village, in the State of Connecticut, in America. On that day Mrs Jonathan Gbrton was 100 years old and formally re ceived her friends, of whom hundreds were present. Mie wore her best black silk gown, with a rose in the bodice. Tne venerable lady was seated in a comfortable armchair on a platform in the best room of her house. Then the train of callers filed through, each and all shaking hands with her. 'Granny Gorton, 1 as he is called, is a trim little body and very nimble on her feet. There waß never anything ailed her, she says, and, except that her eyesight isn't quite so good as it used to be, she is as active as any woman of 50. Why has Granny Gorton lived so long ? Why is ehe'eo active now? She lets out the secret herself when she says, "There was never anything ailed me." That's it. and all of it.

People who live 100 years are not so very rare. The death of 45 such were reported last year in Kogland—22 men »nd 23 women. Yet, compared to the multitudes who die, these are nothing—nothing. Can we not keep things, f:om ailing us, and so live as long as Mrs Gorton? Yes, if we will take the trouble to do it Men and women 100 years old, still vigorous and clear-headed, should be a sight so commeon as cot to be remarked, and will be yet in the future. Why not so now 1 " Ask yourself the question," aa the boatmen say down on Deal beach.

Here's how it is: A woman's tale. She says she fell ill when a girl of about 15. She lost her appetite, had pains in the sides and chest, frequent headache?, and was often obliged to lie down on the couch and rest. All this didn't promise long life, did it ? No; it was a bad start. Well, she got worse instead of better. She was often sick, vomited her food, and spit ting up a sour fluid. For five years she went on in this way. This brings us to Optober, 1881. Bl\tt was then ia service as parlourmaid at Jjeamington Hastings, Warwickshire, Here she suffered from con stant sickness, retching, and heartburn. The chest pains were so bad as to bend her two double, No position that she could take relieved her, Her stomach was so tender and sore that everything she ate pained and distressed her. For months and mouths Bbc only took liquid food—milk and beaten eggs, and bo on. She got weaker and weaker every day, so she says. Of course ; how else could it be ? A doctor at Rugby told her she had 'ulcera tiori of the chest,' which she didn't at all. What is ' ulceration of the chest' 1

He gave her medicines and advice, but she grew no better on that account. This young lady was now ahout twenty years old, with a poor outlook for ever being much older. She didn't expect it, nor did her friends. Then another doctor, being consulted, said 'ulceration of the chest,' like his medical brother at Rugby. Both wrong. 'After six months' medical treatment,' she says, 'I gave up my situation and returned to my home at Burton Lamas, Norfolk. This was in June, 1882. Th>h I was taken so bad I had to take to my bcdl My mother thought I was in a decline.' "Now, the word ' decline' means consump tipn, as we all know; a disease common in England and incurable everywhere. Thou sands of bright girls and young men • decline? into their grayea every year in this populous island. ~S.ad enough it is to rite. ' " Well, at this point her good and wise mother interfered in her daughter's case. She gave the doctors the go-by and aent to Jjforwieb for some bgttles of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. %a two greeks the ypimg patient beg*n to feel better, and in thrpe fponths she got a new situation *nd went to work?

Since then, fifteen years ago, she says,' X have kept in better health than ever before ip my lite, thanks to SeigePs Syrup; Yours truly, (S|gned), (Mrs) Sarah Eleanor |£ak.{Sßi 8, King's (Street, Church Road Tottenham| near London, September 30, 11*92.' A do^en words morp and we're done* Mrs Baker's ailment w»s indigestion aiad dyspepsia, nothing else, and quite enough, The ulceration was inflammation of the inner coating of the stomach, a symptom of the disease. We wish her a long aDd happy life, and merely add that if all her sex could avoid or cure this one trouble most of them might live to be as old aa Granny prton. '

New South Wales Politics.

Sydney, June 5

The Legislative Assembly is still sitting, and no progress is made with business owing to the obstructive tactics of the Opposition. The Speaker applied the closure to Mr Thomas Rose, member fur Argyle, who was making a stonewall speech, and had spoken for three hours.

Reports are in circulation that Mr Eddy was offered a salary of £1 0,000, with two years' engagement by the Victorian Government to set the rail ways of the colony in order. Replying to a question in the Legislative Assembly, the Minister of Railways said he knew nothing of this arrange ment. There seems a little possibility of the House agreeing to an increase in Mr Eddy's salary of J4OOO, if Mi- Eddy is appointed sole Commissioner, but Government is unlikely to accept this. j

Mr Morton, Secretary of the Agricultural Department, in a minute report on tho exports to Great Britain, states that Auiorioa controls; the chilled beef trade, and that the Australian experiment to introduce chilled meat is far superior to the best defrosted or frozen meat of other countries The past year, adds Mr Morton, was bad for Australia, which had killed its own market by irregu'ar shipments. During the first five months of 1894 America sent to Great Britain live cattle valued at over *5,000,000.

SPORTING.

ASHBURTON IROTTINQ CLUB

At present there is every prospecb of fair weather and a thoroughly successful meeting for the Ashhurton Trotting Club's fixture to-morrow. We trust that the promise may be realised to the full, as the Club in the put have had more than their fair share of misfortune, and the present Committee, well seconded by their ener geticaecretary (Mr R. Henry), have spared neither time nor pains in endeavouring to meet the requirements of horse owners and the public. The track at the Sale yards is well sheltered, and of convenient size, so that all through a race the per formances of the ccmpetitors can, be easily watched from any point of the course or the grand stand, which has lately been erected and has proved a very welcome addition to the appointments of the course. An enclosed paddock is another improve ment, and the course itself has never before been In such good order as at pre sent.

One hundred and thirty-three n mina tions were ripped for the meeting, out of which the largo number of etghty paid the handicipper (Mr J. C. Duncan) the compbment of accep ing—not bad for Six races ; and not only is the number satis factory, but with such animals included as Viking- by Childe Harold ; Josephine— by Berlin; Peg^y, Ben Allen, Stockholm, slyl the locally bred M.M.—by Blackwood Abdallah—the quality is undeniably good; and Viking, piloted by the recently ar rived' American trainer Starr, should fbrnhh an exhibition worth a longer journey than to the Saleyards to witness As for tips out of such a crowd we cannot do better than offer suggestions as below.

Maiden—Master Ohubb, with Belfast Girl next.
