"BREAKERS AHEAD."

TO TUB EDITOR Sir —I learn wit h regret that the members of our' loo*l Hockey Cub are entertaining the players at Tuesday's match at a hotel. As a member who has paid hi* subscription, I claim the privilege of making this protest, knowing full well the real and acute danger that exists m introducing our youth* m a body at places which, as parents, employers, -or friends, we should VLThat they them singly. Many may claim that they Srno C b Beaßkedt8 eaBkedto y drink. True ! But we Si know what a powerful weapon ridicule is r D the ha^dsof boys, and how strong our nolinatiou- are to follow othera. If the.o were only one place m the lown, the Com mittee might, have seme excuse. At the present time there is a large amount of drinking amongst our young people m con nection with athletic dinners and smoke concerts. Borne few of them prefer going away to matches m order to get drnnk. Our ■ports, if anything, should teach us self reject, and a greater rwwb for others m tbe P example we Bet. Cardinal Manning e«»a— "Give me the hearts of the ohildien assr s 'XS&ZRJSZS& thiß out, pnt hiß youthful enthusiasm into an effective eßsay on total abstinence as follows : --" I abstain from alcoholic drinks because, if I would excel as a cricketer, Grace Bayß • abstain' ; as a walker, W eaten Bays * abstain ' ; as an oarsman, Hanlon saya •abstain'; as a swimmer, Webb says •abstain'; as a missionary, Livingstone Bays 'abstain'; as a doctor, Clark sayß •abstain 1 ; as a preacher, Farrar says •abstain'; asylums, prisons and work houses repeat the cry 'abstain. ' "O Lord, keep Thou the door of my lips, sang the psalmist, and it is a pruyer that should be echoed by every Christian. How often a word, good or bad, drops from uuthinking lips, and, striking root m a fertile soil, bears a crop of abundance which is only known to God ! " Some yearß ago," said an old clergyman to a recent writer, illustrating this fact, "I was present at a temperance gathering. One of the speakers, a clergy man, and a non-abstainer, spoke m defence of ktrong drink, demonstrating to his own •satisfaction that drinking was healthful, Scriptural, and gent'emanly. When the speaker sat down, an old gray-haired man arose and asked permission to say a few words. " A young friend of mine," he said, " who had fallen into the clutches of strong drink, at leogth was prevailed upon to pledge himself to total abstinance from any thing thab could intoxicate. He stuck to his promise manfully for some mouths, though it cost him many a fearful struggle. At last, one evening he was present at a social gathering. Wine was handed round, and a clergyman, who was there, as ho drank, vindicated the practice by saying a few words. Well, thought the young man, if a clergyman can take wine, and iustify it, why not I? He took a glass. Like a spatk it kindled the great fire of a slumbering appetite, and m a few months he died — a raving madman ! Ihe old gentleman paused while ho swallowed the choking m his throat. At last, m a thin, feeble voice, he added — '* That young man was my only son, and the clergyman was the rev. gentleman who has jue& addressed thia meeting." I hope that all haviog the good of our rising generation at heart will Btrive to keep our games healthy, both morally and physically. —I am, etc., F. Febriman. Aehburton, May 23, 1898.

THE WAKANUI CREEK.

TO THE EDITOR, Sift, — I have been a ratepayer ol the Ash burton dietriofc for some years, and I have noticed from your reports of County Council, Borough Counqil, Hampstead Town Board, and Wakanui Road Board meetinge, thai a great deal of controversy baa taken place for Borne time past, and more co recently, iv regard to the mill-owners and the Wakanui creek. Previous, I think, to 1870, a few settlers m the district spoke of forming a company to erect a mill on the Rite now occupied by the Canterbury Mill, and a meeting was held for that purpose m the old hotel that stood at the end of the pre sent traffic bridge, the 1-to Mr Tripp, of ■ Gran, boing chairman. Those who owocd land on the creek at that time were asked to allow the water to pass through their pro perties to the aea, which permission was granted. However, the proposals failed, and some time after Mr A. Sauadera appeared on the scene, and applied to the' then Road' Board for permission to take water oat of the river to drive the mill, since built by him; which was granted on I condition that he pub bridges ou the road- ! wayß • where needed. The only bridge required at- that- lime would be one on the Alford Forest Road, the cna on the South Road having been erected many years pre viously. I now see from your reports of the meetingß of some of thote bodies above referred to, that they intend to take out an injunction against, the mill-owners to prevent them from sendiog the water down the creek, ualess they erect bridges on several roads that the creek crosses. I think this is a very unfair and unjust demand, as I maintain the only bridges required to be kept up below the mill are the one at the town belt, and cmc at Bullock's — the one on the South Road being necessary since settle ment took place south of it — as all the other crossings require nothing more than a foot and sheep bridge combined for all purposes, which would only cost a few pounds, and the present) ones already ereoted for that) purpose will last for years with Blight re pairs. When there was a prospeob of water being sent down the oreek by Mr Saunders, every owner of land on its backs was jubilant, as it saved them the expenae of sinking wells from forty to fifty feet m depth for domestic nse and watering of stock, a proceeding that would have been costly at that time. They have now had , the use of that water for nearly twenty-five years, without it having cost them a penny, and I now think it very unfair after the free banefil they have so leng enjoyed, for such to ask the other ratepayers ot the district, who already pay for water races, to contri bute, towards cleaning oub the creek (which was mentioned some time apo), and erecting bridges. I maintain that if such oleanin; was done, th6re would be no need for traffii bridges, as good fords oould ba made t< answer all purposes ; and tbere is proof o that it some of the crossings which are kept clean below, and such owners if possibh should be compelled to do likewise for the benefit they derive. As the Council have control of the water and most of the creel; bed from the town belt downwards — it it ridioulous to claim such control if they have nob the power to enforce and exerciHe i(j Burely some arrangement could be 001X18 to without euch a drastic measure being carried onb as the Wakanui Road Board and Hamp- Btoad Town Board purpose doing. I gather from your reports that several bodies are interested — County Council, Aahburton Borough, mill-owners (Canterbury and Wakanui), Hampstead, and settlers m No. 2 and 3 wards Wakanui Road District. I believe the two former bodies contribute. Surely where so many interests we affected ■ome amicable arrangement can be come to without) seriously affecting any person m purbioular. The County Council propose bringing m water by another channel than the one owned by the • mill. If such be parried out, money will be required to do so m making and keeping up headworks to supply all those bodies already referred to as far as Seafiald, which at pre sent coats the Council very little If the water is shut off from the mills, the county at large will suffer, also those more immed lately interested. If bridges are to be buil< for wbioh tbere is no ocoasion, all thr-" bodies interested should contribute pro ?># and charge settlers for water, or oomaei cithern to keep ofear all obstructions, t T. ignorant of the Publio Works Aot io, Betting l»nd, bub surely the cosb of doing toby, fcfaf Council wonld not be great, aa they own fch« most of the oreek bed. 8 If ,'uch we» done it would settle the oreek question once and for ' •II.— I *m, etc. f .

Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- ion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, Maroh 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract the market, products of Bitnple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR TURK VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to ua through the Consul at Melbourne, Maroh 2, 1878, we tate :— It is proved by teats by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifßwald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dri Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifawald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts Are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, wbicl &re abandoned long since as an nterna udioament. These crude oils, or bo callec Eucalypti Extraota, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extraot develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alooholio thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the preaenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates.
