WM MISCELLANEOUS ITEM?.; Lord Strathcona and Mount j&oyal began life as an errand boy to a Scotch village grocer. His great career haa been moulded by his own hands. Finding, the delivery of sugar and tea monotonous, be took fehip to America, whence he went to Canada, and gained employment with the great Hudson H*y Company. The story of the rest of his life would be too long to tell here; It is sufficient to say that he worked with un flinching determination until he made his nime felt throughout Canada. He was the creator of the Canadian-Pacific Railway, and he is so rich to-day that he can afford to keep up no less than five separate establish ments. Though Lord Strathcona is over 80, he is still High Commissioner for Canada, a post to which he was appointed in 1896. His only ohild, a daughter, is married to a London physician. A German saientist has. patenned a punc ture proof tyre filling. The filling is a j Vy made of glue. Glycerine is added to pre vent hardening and an antia«ptio prepara tion that keeps it from fermenting. Th« mixture is first heated until it liquifies and is then beaten to a stiff foam. While in this frothy condition it is introduced into the tyre or saddle and allowed to cool and pirtly solidify. The result is a light, spongy material of cellular formation, ex ceedingly light in weight and proof against tacks, nails, glais aod all puncturing ob ject*. A Parisian lady, for whom a physician had written a prescription, complained to him that the medicine had such an tffaot upon her that she could not swallow any more. In order to induce her to take It the doctor swallowed a spoonful of it, with the result that he was aezed with vomiting and violent internal pains. The doctor ascer tained that the prescription had been wrongly made up, and brought an action to recover 5000 francs damages from the chem ist, and also from the assistant who made it up. The Court found for the plaintiff, but awarded only 500 francs damages, on the ground that the prescription was so badly written that there was some excuse for the assistant's mistake. Lots of Rakaia and Methven people have bought a small sample packet of McKer.zie's Hondai Lanka Cetlon Tea out of pure curiosity. Didn't believe it—why, certainly rot— w hy should they. But somehow or other they are using it right along; wouldn't forsake it on any aooount. Of course they were sceptical at first ; so many things ad vertised now-a-daya ; but a Teapot tsst sets any doubt at rest. How fondly rests a mother's gazi Upon her ohildren dear ; ' She loves theni for their pretty wuyii, And always likes them near, She tends them in their troubles, too, j Her care soon makes them fewer, j And for a cold knows what to do: !

Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affaire through the Consul-General for {Italy, at Melbourne, March 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 in the market, products of simple distillation forming crude reainous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPT EXTRACT, which is recognised by the ! mediqal division of the PruwianGovernment to be of perfectly pnre origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul »t Melbourne, March 2,1878, we tate :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Client of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulx.Professor of Parmacoiogy, at Bon, and Professor Dre Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinios at Greifawald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen aid freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop* the sanative qualities proper to the plan, Allcrude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named Authorities, Among the turpen oinee, which %re abandoned long since as an internal medicament. These-orude oils, or so oalled Kncalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, tbe only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear anoe being reduced; in specific density through tae presenoe ni acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. it these crude oils, so-c iled eucalypti extracts, are applied by mista :e in cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal inflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
