THE WEATHER After a moui h's five weather we are again getting "samples." Early on Thursday morn Dg hail fell for several hour?, and it continued showery all day. Although it did not lie loog on the lower country, it still remains white on tho nurroundiug ranges We are having sharp frosts during the nights. DEBATE. " Liberal and Conservativo: which has benefited this country most?' On Tuesday evening Meesrß W. G. Gallagher and James Murison took up this debale, the first named gentleman delivering an able and exhaustive speech on the virtues of Liberalism in New Zealand, pointing out all the beneficial measures promoted by the Liberal Goven ments since the colony was first governed by the whites. Mr Murison then gave a shore speech in favor of Conservative Government, and was ably backed by Mr Simpson. Messrs Jamea Dellow, Daniel Kellahan, senr, Mr Ham and A. Keid, also spoke. On the vote being taken fcwenty-four voted for the Liberal, and fifteen for the Conservative champion. It was carried at the meetiug than the Rev. G. B. Inglis, Ashburton, be asked to deliver a lecture on temperance on July 11.

The Newsboy's Queestion.

It Is a well known fact that among the little street arabs, who vend the daily newspapers about the streets of all large cities, the possessors of remarkably keen intellects are frequently found. A case in point occurred only a few days ago. The youngster affer having effected the sale of a paper, requested the purchaser to answer him which was the quicker, heat or cold ? Palling to receive an answer the boy volunteered the information that heat was th& quicker, as you can catch cold. And now as this ia the weather when colds are mosb easily caught, it would be well to fortify ourselves against such possibility. Oolda are caused by the congestion of the blood, which is most prevalent in the head a.id throat. Influenza can be traced to the same cause, and irregular or insufficient liver action is jin most cases responsible for both. If the proper and effective working of the liver ba restored, the dangers of contrao ing colds or li floena* will be reducpd to a minimum. Bile Beans for Biliousness have been proved to be the most (ffective known rema^y for ensuring the safe ard thorough discharge by tho liver of its natural functions, and is, therefore, the surest preventative for colds, ardl where they have been contracted, Bile Beans will speediiy remove them. Their price Is only a shilling and three half pence par box, and thpy can be obtained from all chemists. It a course of this remedy be taken, it will minimise the danget of you experiencing personal proof of the newsboy 3a statement, that heat is quicker than cold because coli can be caught. There fs a heap of solid advice contained in the newsboy's witlicii-m, and advice which, if followed by older folks, will bring in its train far greater benefits than may at first sight appear.

In searching for the cause, sn* picion fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken j from a one pound tin in use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic arid, the presence of which is caused by the use. of spirits of sa'ta in welding the parts of tin together The analyst warns consumers that tea packed in small tins, owing to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed in lead with jsn inside lining of vegetable parchment This stye of packet is quite impervious to the air, and tea so i packed haa been known to retain al its aroma and i strength for a period of five years.' j WOTK.— KOZIE i.2A is packed in lead with an aside lining.of Vegetable Parchment."
