.. . *■ - ASHBURTON COUNTY V. ELLESMERE COUNTY.

1 For the representative football match, I Ashburton County v. Eilesmere County, to be played on the Domain Oval on Thursday next, tha following are the positions of the pUyera, wtih a few comments by our foot ball contributor :— Familton (Pirate), full-back—-A good selection. Sound m defence, good kick, takes the ball well, very cool player. MoTiguk, J. (Pirate), three-quarter- Fastest m n m the team, gi and m attack, sure collar, very trickey, mo3fc unselfish. Would have preferred him aa five-eighth, playing much bettor nearer the scrum. ( rr, N. (Senior), three-quarter.—Good general, cool as a cucumber, sound m defence and attack, places the ball nicely io touch. Robilliard (Senior), three-quarter.—Last year represented Canterbury. Dating m attack, have not observed his defence, his chances being few oa Thursday last. Fast to the bal'. Purchase, E. (Senior), five-eighth—-Cool m defence, good kick, attacks well, unselfish, uf opinion, but for three of the one Olub acting m same capacity, should change place with J. McTigue. Wilson, D. (Pirate), half-back—Clever behind the scrum, fair kick, cool, and un selfish. Hobbs (Senior), wing-forward—Sharp as a needle, never missea a chance, grand along the line, very fast, being continually ou the ball. Plays true football. Cromie (Senior), wing-forward.—One o! the old brigade. Rather more off-side at time 3 than perhaps advantageous to his side, but wing-forwards usually ace. His im mense strength' is of great assistance near thu line. Cuapman (Senior), forward—Playing really well lately. Best man on the line-out, good m packed Bcrums, inclined to over-run ball dribbling. Johnston (Senior), forward—Only just come down. Decided acquisition. Triclssy as a fox. Will be all there if weather fine. McTigoe, E. (Pirate), forward-Quick and hard worked along the line and m drib ling rushes. Inclined to break from a scrum too early. Fitzgerald, M (Pirate), forward—Pick of the scrum forwards. Grand on a dribbling rush, invariably with the ball. Should be well suited if weather fine. Hepburn (Pirate), forward—Hard worker, (Jood dribbler, good attack, bub holda h:a opponent too long. Wilson, A (Pirate), forward—One of the best. Plays the game, and seldom loses an opportunity. Good line punter. Upton (Senior), forward—Should play a splendid game. Hard to stop m a rush, good at fending, and fast. Should pass rather oftener. I EMERGENCIES. E Orr—.Good dribbler and handy m loose , play, only fault " inclined to differ." W Huston— Works well, faat at follow up' but occasionally on the sick list. Lynskey—Good behind the scrum if he likes, a perfect box of tricks. Has lately con tracted a fault of running back instead of feed ing the three quarters. W Fitzgerald—Gives great promise Ri a half-back, attack good. Wilson, F—Fair back, good kick, but weak m defence Dacre—Man well worth a pUce m the team. Sure collar, and hard to stop m a rush.

A Woman was to Blame.

It is surprising how eager men are to saddle women with all blame. So frequently is this done, that " a woman was afc the bottom of it" has passed into a phrasa of every day usage. If you ask men for instances of woman's wrong doing, they will tell you how Adam was tempted by Eve, how Tarpeia betrayed Rome to the Sabinea, how Helen caused the siege of Troy, of the results of Cleopatra's intrigues with Cse3ar and Antony, and so on. Bud they never tell you of the wise actions which women have performed. Surely Miss May Graham, of 99 York Street West, South Melbourne, was not to biame when, by taking Bile Beans for Biliousness, she cured herself of a mosb acute attack of dyspepsia. Here ia what she told & reporter of the Mel bourne .Record : — For three years I suffered greatly from dyspepsia. 1 had frequent and fearful attacks of neuralgia m the face, which caused me agony for weeks at a time. All food disagreed with me I grew listless and melancholy. 1 spent six months m South Gippsland for a change, but I got no beneiit from it. I returned to Melbourne, and became pale and sallow. I gave up hope of recovery. One day my brother brought me a box of Bile Beans. I commenced to take them, and m a short time felt decidedly batter. Continuing with the Beans, I was restored to perfect health. I canuoc too strongly express my gratitude for the good done me." The cost of the Bile JcJeana is only thirteen pence halfpenny per box, and as all chemists and atere-keepers aeil them, no one should be without a box. In the face of Miss Graham's story, it cannot be said that this lady was to biame for having acted so wisely as her narrative describes,

Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over tha Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the I medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, Maroh 2, 1878, we bate:— ---g fit is proved by tests by the Medical Clinic of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mossier, Director af the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen a.jd freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will deveiope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpenrinee, which abandoned long since as an internal medicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :-— 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour-— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- 1 ance being reduced m specific density through tne presence *>f acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake m oases of group, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflaniations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
