CLIPPINGS FROM "HANSARD."

Sometimes schools may get a good teacher, j but some squabblo may arise hi cause th( jj master may be said to have been t< o snvpre I with Borne boy who has deserved a thrashing, ,> —which they do not get nowadays as they did in my early days, and t no doubt, i'> would make better men of them if they did, —and then the Commibtee, perhaps, petitions the Board to dismiss the master They get up some frivolous cases very often—some times a true case—against him.—Hon. Captain Baillie. Mr Taylor : I refuse to attend the caucus of the party.—Mr Hogg : You were not invited.—Mr Taylor :No.—Mr Hoa* : An>: ! never will be again. —Mr Taylor : No ; and I never will be again. At the only caucus I attended this session my fO i s;ckened at the slavery they tried to impose upon me. 1 am not built for slavery. I want to go back to my family and feel that I have kept my manhood intact—(Laughter.)

Recently Mrs Cavell, of Palmerston (says the Mamwata Daily limes) had a needle embedded in her wrist, and a difficulty was expercienoed in extracting it. MrsCavell was advised to try the effect of a dynamo with a view of drawing the needle to the surface of ihe wrist. With that object in View she visited 'Messrs Richter, Nanueatad and Company's flour mill on several occasions, and ultimately had the satisfaction of know iue that the experiment was successful. By continually laying her hand on the dynamo, the electricity gradually drew the needle to the surface, and ib was finally extracted.

Will be ab Newman's Stables every SATURDAY. KING OF QUALITY is a dapple bay, rising five years old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taieri. He is a oolb of great substance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and piaberna, also great bone, clean and flowing with nice silky hair—fhe true badge of a well bred Clydesdale, He js a prime mover, has good temper, and sound con? stitution. His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh R_e, from Scobland, by Argyle (2567 vol. vi.), dam Darling by Prince of Wales, (673, vol. i), grand dam Maggie, by Lockend Champion (448, vol. i). Lion King was first ab Dunedin Show as a three-year-old first ab Dunedin in 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his progeny. LiojxJ^s'^jiam Scotch Annie (imported " TromScotland; 343, N.Z.5.8.) was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain ot blood. She was shown in New Zealand four times, gaining first and champs upon «s_tb occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, S-CS.B.); grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported^ 11$, NZ.S.B.) He was got by the great Sir WalterSoott, whose breeding neads nocomment. Lion King's sir^, British Lion, is so favorably known as to need no comment, He was (jonsidered by competent judges to be one ot the best horses ever landed in New .Zealand. King of Quality's dam, CJueen of Quality, (608, N Z.S.'B.) show yard.career is "so well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details ; suffice it ,to say, she has taken 14 first pri^s and seven champions; among bhe others she wag champion mare at the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has scamped her as a mare of unusual excellence; her sire is the far-famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from bhe show ring an unbeaten horse. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, 5.8.) King of Quality as a yearling gained first prize at Taieri Show, and second at Dunedin, and as a three-year-old first at Taieri and second at Dunedin. It will be seen from the above that King of Quality is descended from 'the 'iW^afc strains of prize-taking Clydesdale blood, and/san^ot fail to make a aajne for himself as a .sire. « T«rms : £4 4s; £2 2s (at end of season, 1 balance when mare proves in foal.

These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine i Eucalypti Extract develops moat freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates.
