SAVED BY HIS FRIEND.

Mr Anders Bargerson has had an expe rience which, to use his own words, " will suffice for a lifetime." Mr Bergerson is a shearer, and in the "oft" stason resides at | Makaretu. "You must know," he told our j reporter, " that sheare a Bee a good deal of j life—travel ing from one shed to another J during the season they cover a deal of ] country. I remember well the good turn I & friend did for me when I had what I might term " the experience of my life.' It was whilst ehearing in October, 97, after a long spell of wet weather, that I was seized with terrible pains in the hip down the back of the thigb, under the knee and right down to the ankle. It was just like hot needles boring through me, and I was told it was eciatica* No doubt, the attack was the result of exposure to the wet. Then a dull, aching pain came iv my back, a symptom, I believe, of kidney disease, and 1 could Beyer obtain a goo 3 night's rest. For a year this went on, and the agony I Buffered was terrible. I tried everything I could think of, including many advertised renv-dips, bnt without avail. Then a friend suggested thy I Bhould try Dr Wiiliams' pink pil^ My fclaep improved before I had finished the first box. and the pains in my limbs and back gradually lessened. I con tinued with Dr Williams' pink pilla which soon effected a complete cure. My back is straight und s'.roug now. I can use my lirrb-i freeiy and without p.iin, I e<*t and sleep well. For disorders of the blood and nerves Dr Williams pink pil's are in my opinion, un rivalled." This is the universal verdict, for Dr Wiliiams' pink pills have cured, in all parts of the world, over Bixtuen thousand cases of sciatica, n"ualj;in, rheumatism, bron chitis, lung a> d chsar. disorder,', consumption, liver and kidney troubles, St.. Vitus' daoce, acrofu'a, ecz m*, paralysis, locotnotor ataxia, and nervuua disorders. The genuine have the full name, Dr, Williams' pink pills for pale people, printed in red ink on white paper. Sold by ohemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Well ington, NZ. Price, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and aixper.ee, post free. No sufferer should hesitate to try the remedy which has brought brightness and health to thousands of homes all over the world.

A Fish Stor?—The following story is going the rounds of the Pr«(BS:—A party of visitors who were sailing in a pleasure yacht off Lee met with an extraordinary adven ture. Snddenly a large fish jumped on board, and with its tail smashed all the vessel's gear, and broke the main bor.m. One gentleman received a blow in the face, which blacked his eye. The fish then thrust its noae into the cabin and remained quiet, and the party made for the shore with all apeed. The unwelcome intruder proved to be a whale thrasher, about 15ft long, and weighing half a ton. |b is now being exhibited in llfracombe. Lady Church Wardens—There are Beve ral lady churchwardens nowadays, though not long ago the work was cousiderod as essen tially masouline as Parliamentary, vestry, or police work. Lady Hiudiip was the first lady to accept the position, but since then several very well known women have officiated in this capacity. Those elected up to the present have all been women of position and wealth, but the post ia no sine cure, and the responsibilities are very con siderable. Among the list of female church wardens are the Marchioness of Exeter, Lady Wilraob. and Miss Stringer. The rise in the price of wool and the firm state of the London market will mean in creasing returns of many thousands of pounds for the farmers of Canterbury alone this year. As a natural consequence, following the advanced coat of the raw material, alt the principal manufacturers of woollen goodl have recently issued revised price lists show ing a oonsiderab. rise in the prices of all frweeds, Coatings, Vicugnas, &c. Messrs Cbaighkap & Berrtman of this town, how ever, with their usual foresight, took time by the forelock, and cabled Home direct early in May for a large shipment of the moßt fashionable Suitings for the approaching Spring season. They also secured large parcels from the principal New Zealand mills usb before the rise, and will give their customers the full benefit of their timely contracts. Messrs Craighead and Berry man invite an early inspection of their New Goods. Their leading line of Men's Suits to measure for £3 10s, made up in their well known style and fit, should convince the most sceptical of their sterling values

Giant Coxstajjlks—The Norwich city police force has for a long period consisted of a race of gi.in-s, md a few years ago not a^single member wa« under 6fc in height. Now, however, thti Watch Committee find j (themselves un.'b'e to obtain constables of the i aame fine physiqu-, and recently they adver ; I'h-.'ii for m Li at 5 t llin. Evan at (he ; ro'tuood height sufficient man were not j forthcoming, and row advertisements are issued specifying sft 9in as the standard. The dearth of sons of Anak is locally attri buted to the depopulation of the country diatrictß, which has been going on steadily for several years past. The births in the villages are, moreover, becoming fewer i every year, so that the police force seems in , no immediate likelihood of recovering its ■ former prestige for exceptionally fine men. ! Shop Assistants As Churchgoers.--A statement! of a somewhat startling charae'er was made by Mr A. Lindsay at the Wednes day half-holiday meeting at the Choral Hall, Wellington {.says the New Zealand Times) One V: ason for the agitation for the half-holi day beinj,' on Saturday, he said, was tint it would enable people to go to church on .Sun day, bub in his humble opinion there were 50 if not 75 per cent, who cared about) neither God, church nor religion. The chairman {Mr Allan) questioned the accuracy of the asser tion, and at his request Mr Lindsay with drew it. The Wkeck Register.—A copy of a return issued in connection with Lloyds Register, showing the shipping casualties from January let to March 31st, has been sapplied to the Wairaropa Slvr by Captain Davidson. During the period named 7 steamers and 20 sailers were abandoned at sea, 20 steamers and 32 sailers were broken up or condemned, 1 steamer was burned, 12 steamers and 12 sailers were in collision, 9 steamers and 8 sailers foundered, 2 steamers a.nd 2 sailers were lost (so classed owing to wanb of information), 15 steamers and 18 sailers were posted as " missing," and 35 steamers and 73 sailers were wrecked, mak ing a somewhab formidable total of 101 steamers and 165 sailers losb or condemned luring the first quarter of the year. Ib is worthy of note as showing the vast extent of Rritish trade, that of the 266 ves&ola named 79 were British owaod. Rosa Bonh:ur's Will—A lawsuit of un> lsual interest is pending in France. It ap pears thab a fortnight before Rosa Bonheu: 's ieath, although having many near relations, he greafc übist b qu » hed her entire fortu ie, iunaed property, house and grounds, pic tures, etc, to a liidy companion of Trans itlantic origin who had not lived with her for nore than two years. Naturally enough, the •elation decided to contest the will, seals ■vere set upon papars and the house, exclusive )f two rooms, for the time being in the hacd; >f the law. It is sad to thiofe (says a cjrres londent of the Westminster Gazette) that, wealth so honourably won should form the mbjycc of litigation. The sum tot*l must tmount to a million franca at least. Rosa Sonheur left nephews and niecea to whom ihe was much attiched- Ihe great artist, noreover, had received during her long and uccessfui career many valuable marks of ippreciation from crowned heads. Perhaps everal millions would be a more correc' .ppraiuemeut of one of the largest for unes iver achieved by a woman. Georges Sand mrned during her lifetime a million francs £40,000), but, ac Bha wrote shortly before ler death, had never saved a hou. Rosa Bonheur wns mor<" French, and possessed 'he lational gift of economy."
