Settling Soldiers on land.

Mr William Thomas, who lived in Kew Zealand in the " sixties/ 5 has written to some of the London papers pointing out what was done in the colony in the way of patting military settlers "on the land " in the Waikato. He suggests that a similar thing could be done in South Afric* ; 100,000 mili tary scttlfrs, he thinks, could be placed there, sufficient land, mules and appli ances being given them for the first twelve months of their settlemsnt. With a plentiful supply of ammunition to boot, Mr Thomas is of opinion that these men would be sufficients to cope with " the rebellious Boers and disloyal Dutch," from whem the iap.d ntcessary for these military settlers could bo taken.

Abuse of Old Age Pensions

A country correspondent of the Waipawa Mail, referring to the pay ment of old age pensions snya :—There are some glaring cases in this district of the manner in which thry are granted. In onp cate a settler who has a good property free from debt, has several tows sections and yefe cannot keep bis wifp, who haa h»d the pension granted to her. In other c-ses settlers who have forty acrrs each and who are taking nriik to tie factory cannot afford to keep their wives, who have had the pension granted them. In two instances it has hern known whore the parents have handed their farms over to members of their family, and then applied for the pension under the plea that they had nothing. Jf ever an Act required amending it h the Old Age Pension Act.

Baden-Powell's Conjaring Trick

Mr Labouchere,. writing lv Truth, says : —Amor g the mai y "B.P. ' stones now gome; about I do no think that ihe follow ing has yet appeared In print, Bader.- Powell was once staying afc a country house, where a cor juror was expected to amasean oveni gp.rty. At! ha appointed time the conjuror had not arrived, ar.d the hostess appealed in dispalr to Baden- Powell to "do a turn" to fill the gap. The ever-resourcefal " 8.P." stepped modesUy en to ihe platfoiw, and an nounced that he would try to amuse the audience with a little amateur conj pending the arrival f the professional. In the approved style he began by asking seme gentleman to lend a hat An i xcellenb silk hab was provided. The conjuror solemnly rememd the lining, tote off the biha, and proceeded to cut the hat into email pieces. Me then &sked fur a Burma tray or a Moorish tray or some other outlandish article, which I otk a lotig time to prcdnce, ** 8.-Pj" filling up the interval with the best professional patter. Hay ng at last got the right .sort of tray, he placed the fragmants of the hat upon it, covered thpm with a siik handkerchief, and held op the tray before the audienca. " Ladits and gentleman, :> he said, •* you have seen me cut up that hat, and have no doubt that the pieces are under this handker chief. The next part of ths performance will be to reproduce the hat and hand ib uninjured to the owner. But as the real conjuror haa now come, I wil, with you«" permission, leave that part of the perform ance to him." With which "B-P }l bowed himself off the platform.

Consumption It Can be Cured. , There is no doubt about it. Begin < early, take out all impurities from the J system, enrich the blood, and recovery is certain. If your child is thin and pale give Ayer's Sarsaparilla at once. Consumption only attacks the weak. Mr. Alfred G. Stevens, of Parnell, Auckland, N. Z., sends us the photo graph of his daughter and says : "My daughter Emily, IT years of age, was | in a very low state. She could not sleep necause of her violent cough. Two doctors said she was in the first stages of consump tion. She was so weak she could not go put by herself. A friend induced me to try AVER'S Sarsaparilla In less than two weeks our daughter could Bleep well at night. Her mother and I would co into her room at all hours of the night, it seemed so good not to hear that awful hollow cough.
