Wbllihgton, August 29 The candlemakers are not satisfied with the re-constructed tariff, and another con* ferenee is to be held to consider the question. Bell's match factory in Wellington and at Caversham will continue operations under the revised tariff. It is questionable if the duties are sufficient to enable the companies to compete with the Belgian matches, larga orders for whioh are oufc.

Real White men.

There is a good story going the rounds about the two "commercial travellers " who scooped the pool in th« King Country the other day. On their way up they ttayed at a caravanserai, and spent their money so freely that the landlord took kindly to them. When they were learipg, so the yarn goes, they asked for a note of recom mendation to any of his frieuda In the King Country, as th»y were doing a bit of ".travelling." He was oniy too pleased, and gave them a note to «mo of his friends, in glowing terms, winding up with the emphatic opinion, (t They a»-e real white men!' Imagine his feelings when he saw the sly grog raid proceedings of the S.M. Conrt, at Te Awamufcu, in the papers. You might have knocked him down with a feather, and it took all the; spirit out of him. He ia now doing !t The FiglH Bars' Rest," and humming the popular comic song, " I Didu't Know Till Afterwards !"

sore core For Genera! Weakness. The d&bilitafcing effects of a warm climate and exposure to all kinds of weather are sure to bring on disorders of the blood and weaken the system. ! Mr. Charles Geddes,,.of Mt. Malcolm,, i W. A., sends us Lis photograph, and tells of a'sure care for these conditions, •' For some time I have been landlord of the Royal Hotel in the Mt. Margaret gold fields district, eight}' miles from the nearest railway. I have sola a great deal of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and it gives the most universal satisfaction. When miners, prospectors, and others become run down by lack of fresh vegetables and fruits, and from exposure to all Kinds of weather, their blood becomes very impure and the whole system greatly weakened. But* is always a sura cure, xhawe known miners to send a hundred miles for it, such is their faith in it." To cure constipation, biliousness, in digestion, and sick headache, there is no remedy equal to Ayer's Pills. * Prepared by Br. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowcil, Mass., U.S.A. DON*iC Nature may cure your NEGLECT- cough without aid, bub you* COUGHS, can't afford to ohande it. A cough that is left to cure itself is slowly • overcome at best, and there is apt to be some weakness left to make the next) cough come easier. We have two really good remedies for coughs and colds. BENJAMIN GUM ib specially suitable tor recent) chills. Ibis pleasant to take, cures very quickly, pre vents inflamatory symptoms and allays annoying tickling and hacking coughs. {TOWNEND'S CINNAMON" CURE is specially suitable for chronic coughs, though it will break up a recent attack as quiokiy as any other medicine made—Cinna mon has been proved in Pasteuea Institute to possess great destructive power over all bacilli, whilst being perfectly harmless to human beings. We have received some flattering letters as to its efficacy in con sumption, bronchitis, asthma, dysentry and in typhoid fever. .. Benjamin Gum Is 6d and 2s 6d.
