T OOK HERE TIM ; Jnst read this 1* 1 ... Here's a horse shot in tie neck in that great battle Prestonpans in 1715, and ihe poor bru.e carried the bullet, in his neck unti he died in 1758— just 43 years. I never in all my born days saw anything like it at, all ; except my ould mare. KINGSTON shod her. Och ! its a great while ago, an' sure enough I'm afraid them shoes and the ould mare I'll never part. I'm certain she'll never wear them out. What'll I do at all ? " Take her back to KINGSTON," said Tim, " he'll cut her feet down and put the seme shoes on again, and then m-ybe she'll wear them out. You ought to pay him ilHgartly. instead of only paying him FIVE SHILLINGS for shoeing your horse." 4 Shure enough an' I will, an' I'll shout for him too.' 'But he's a ta-.0-tler.' ' Then shure enough that's all the more reason why I'll shout for him.'

REPORT ON WAI-RONGOA NATURAL MINERAL WATER SPRINGS, Bottled only at the Springs, NORTH TAIERI, N.Z. GOVERNMENT REPORT FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSKS—It is invaluable for maintaining alkalescence of the blood, and, therefore, this particular water will be much more beneficial for that purpose than preparations of mineral water much stronger, artificially pro duced, I may compare the Wa'-rongoa Springs to the celebrated mineral springs at Plombieres, in France, where the late H.-xpercr Napoleon 111 often visited for the purpose of ben.fi'ing hia health. As the result,, of my investigation, I i-m of opinion that the Wai-rongoa Mineral Water Springs are of perfect parity and esp<:ci*l!ysuirablefot' preparing a S.igh c^ass natural Mineral Water. A. G.
