TOOLS.

These are the days of "sales, 1* and a clever parodier oould prodnce a good thing were he to adopt the measure of Poe's "Bella," and ring the changes on the "sales "we are now holding. " Clearing " sales, " slaughtering" sales, and so forth are the order of the day. The drapers are til showing their goods to the best ad vantage, both in shop and shop window, and are laying tempting biits for buyers in the way of goods labelled with ticket 9 showing prices much lower than übu&J. As a result business is brisker than in ordinary times, and the sale-haunters are in evidence. But the drapers are not the only tradesmen who have been at the work of window display. She ironmongers have been at it also, and people with. a ptmhant for amateur work stand and admire the display of tools. Mr H. Zander's shop windows are just now a great attraction to amateur handlers of tools, and thanks to Mr Williams' skill and taste, the display is not only very comprehensive but it is also pretty, and the articles are all labelled with prices so that the buyer can make no mistake as to his pnrchase. The china window is equally pretty, and the display of crockery and kitchen ware in enamel is very nice indeed. Coming north wards one's eye is caught by the prettily arranged windows of Messrs Collins and Co., in which tools are the prominent featuie, flanked by some choice articles of ornament in ormolu, etc. Still drifting northwards, Messrs John Orr and Co'e. "street eyes" attract the gaze. Here Mr Macpheraon has exercised his genius for display, and the tools laid out are so good that the workmen's fingers must itch to have the using of them. Like Mr Zander's they represent the tools of almost every handicraft, and some of them are large and heavy, and suited to be handled by men who have to deal with " all the force of rougher things," as "Surfaceman" puts it in his "Song of labor." A label or two here would not be out of place, so that the worker might know for how much he can obtain the tempting prizes. From Messrs Orr's to Mr J. W. Hardiey is but a step. The establishment is les3 pretentious than those ot its big brothers, but the.window ia also interesting for its contents, and turning down Burnett .Street the stroller will alao find something to interest him in the way of tools in the window of Messts Shearman Bros* The ordinary person moving along the street, and seeing assortments of tods such as those shown m the windows of the various establishments mentioned cannot fail fco discover many things, the possession < f •which would save, by their timely use at home, much discomfort and inconvenience. The stitch in time proverb is a very wise one. Incidentally it; may be mentioned that Messrs Orr and Co. are stocking the " Blue House," aexb door to fcheir main premises, and juafc vacated by the previous tenant, with srockery, ironmongery, etc.

SAIVIXEIW «Sc sons JSiica lypii Extract. -, There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which ie recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as theii information forwarded to ua through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state :—» It proved by testa by the Medical Clinice of the Universities at Bonn and Greifevrald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz.Professor of Paraiacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Hosier, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswafd, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, reainouß and other subetaocoe, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr. Lister, of England, and to Dw. Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc, of America, ia the only extract correspond ing to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned as an internal medicament. 9?hese so-called Eucalypti Extract which may have received distinction at Exhibitions ac commercial articles are used for mechanical, purposes are only discernible. By their deficiency in pundgent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts develops most freely through its Burplus of oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If those crude oil?, so-called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, * diphtheria, internal inflamations, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are appalling. For safety always aak for SANDER & SON'S EUOA LYPTI EXTRACT, and get the old, well tested, audreliablepreparation.—Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDEB & SONS.
