Notes and Comments

Two hundred and forty pounds per ftnnum is not considered a sufficient reward for our legislators, they want £300 and of course will get itj It would be more than interesting to know how many of these hard worked persons, out of the absurdly large num ber, who are supposed to represent the people, ever earned as much as the present honorarium, in any one year, from the day of birth, to that of entry to the Legislative Halls, And if it were possible to refer the question to the people, how many would vote for the proposed increase ? There is no thing like audacity. It carries them all through, they address their consti tuents, try to justify the misappropria tion of the £40. and the gullible British pnbHc caught by those who possess the 8 gift of the gab ' let them iown lightly. But if a oalm well con ildnred vote upon this question wore recorded throngh the ballot box, the CAisae emotional public would Soy a large, ii very large majority condemn the £40 bnsiness, and give &n emphatic No to the proposed increase And don't the M.H s ß's. know it. j

That little trip to the South Seas coat na a tidy little sum, and the trip for the Coronation mil also be an item, but we ehall have to pay, there fore let as do so, look pleasant and pray that nothing may happen by the way, or afterwards, such as a governor ship or something to prevent the ipeedy return of oar patriotic chief, because we all want him so, and he will yearn for the day of his return. Yet when dropping his H's, in the ILowther Arcade, he won't think ramch of Okitika,

The ball given by the Mount Somers bachelors on the 16^h was a success tight through, every detail having been oarefally considered by the Committee, whose members are to be congratu lated npon the perfection of the ar rangements, which gave evident enjoy ment to the large number of people who had assembled;

Balls given in larger towns are, of rsourse, successful; our yonng people throw themselves into the matter heart and wool for weeks before the stirring event, Committees aud Snb-Oommit tees know no rest, dressmakers are in a whirl, and young ladies in a flutter of excitement, in hopeful anticipation of being prononnced ' The Belle.'

And after these town balls there is eh 1 such beartborning, such disap pointment. ' Fancy that Jessie Brown being considered the belle, goodnesss knows that Matilda Jones didn't look much, but she was nicer than Jess, and those who prononnced Keziafa Robin ion the second belle, showed miserable taste.* Yes, my dear, now if they had any judgment at all, they could not have passed by yon, and so on, and so forth. Now, at balls such as that at Mount Somers, there is usually far loss of preliminary, and far more of pleasure. In the opinion of the writer (for which of conrse, the journal airing it is not responsible), the element of • envy, hatred, malice, and all unchari lableness' is entirely absent from country balls, given with less ' iolat/ bat resulting in greater success. The writer aforesaid has been to many, many more than one of eich kind, and has f experientia docet') founded his temarks npon his experience.

The people of the Ashbnrton county are a dance-loving generation, and when they really do make up their minds to give a ball, they give one, and a real good one too.

Therefore, ranch sorrow is felt at a recent rumour, that the Aehbarton bschclora are not giving one this year.

There are of coarse bachelors and bachelor*-, and if the latter remain so for all timr, ontil they drop into graves nnmoorned in death sb they are unloved lo life, bo much the better for Sunday spinsters. N.B. Ho suggestion is here made that the Ashburton bachelor's ball ia being interfered with, or marred by any of this diss of mankind.

A $nag ib occasionally found hut he Is the exception rather than the rule in this county: At • recent ball tb* Committee finding that the expedites* .had been somewhat underestimated,de cided to charge a irodest, a particularly modest gum to those who may be termed "•Outside" bachelors and all agreed promptly except the snag referred to who danced around his district braying loudly for some days, at the meanness of the Committee in wishing him to sub icrlbp^ and receiving no sympathy from lis neighbonre aud friends (?) waxed more wroth than over, and he vented his spleen in a letter which the Secretary of the Ball Committee keeps as a literary (?) v curiosity.*

Free Wheeling

Many varieties of position are adopted ia free wheeling and no doubt each one ia iraagiaec? by the person adopting it to be the beat. Some pose with a straight or nearly straight left leaf, others depress the right pedal to its tttraost, and others adopt the nearly level position for the pedals. At first, when the sensation of disconnection from the diving wheel is novel, and perhaps a trifle disconcerting, the be~ ginner drops one leg to the lowest to give a firm foothold and secure the pedals from involuntary jerkings. But it is a mistake to fancy the first refuge of the novice to be the best of all pos sible attitudes It fcskes very little ftraetice(§ay@ a writer on cycling topics) to h&ng tbe feet level with one another, and the symmetry of sach a position coetributes to stability a? well as elegance. With one ttetched leg stiffness is likely to ensce ;ia the event of a jerk over a rat, a atonp, or a paved crossing, a nasty jar k carried up to the body. With both knees bent, and rqually bent, there is a really relaxed attitude 6f the limbs, which balance with the least possible muscular effort. With level feet one can impart equal pressures to the stationary pedals and relieve all the weight from the saddle even to the extent of standing right up wish the peak of the saddle between the knees, and on a very long ride a momentary assumption of such a posi tion Ii restful mi cooling.

f*g^ Why not look Wtl '■' gives all that dark \C' and rick look to tbe 'M hair which belongs to I ■ \ £ a lair Vigor You know the story—how good Queen Bess, pointing to the beautiful hair of a peasant girl, said, "There's a real royal crown. I would trade my golden one for it." That was long ago. Now you can have a "real royal crown " of your own, simply by using Ayer's Hair Vigor. It makes the hair grow thick and long and stops it falling out. When your hair is rich and heavy, and when the closest inspection fails to detect a single gray hair, yon will cer tainly look a great deal younger, and you will be much better satisfied with yourself, too. Isn't that so ? Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer Co., Lowell. Mass.. U. S. A. /IHmimm_wmmmßMmmmwm^ BUSINESS NOTICES

DEAR Sir, — For the last twelve months I have been completely (run down, suffering from Nervous Debility, j Extreme Weakness, and other ailments ; incidental to my sex. My condition was j such I was quite unable to get about, or to do anything ab all. When I heard of tbe great benefit other sufferers had derived from the use of Plantekoa. I procured a bottle, using it as directed, and the result was as gratifying as it was astonlehihg. I became quite well again, and able to get abonb as usual. I have much pleasure in sending you these few lines, make what you like of them. Yours truly, [ Mrs J. Row. P.S.—I can also recommend Planotkoa as a good medicine for the blood and strengthening the system Kaiwarra, February 2lsb 1901 Dear Sir, —Several months ago 1 had a very severe attack of influenza, which left me very much run down, and hardly able to stand, or evee use my hands. My wrists and ankles were much swollen, and very painful Several things I tried withonb effect. A friend advised me to give Plantekoa a trial, which I did, and I am happy to say before I had finished the second bottle I was thoroughlycured, and I m?y say I have felt no return whatever. I should like, also, to say a word for Plantekoa Ointment. My husband for a long time had badly cracked hands, (owing largely, no doubt, to the nature of his work), which defied all efforts at heal* ing; but when we once tried Plantekoa Ointment, the effect was wonderful. For chapped or cracked hands, cuts, etc., it Is the very best and safest remedy, and is one of those thing mo home Is complete without. Yours sincerely, I Mrs Wainright

GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE DEPARTMENT, Established 1870. BYERY POLICY GUARANTEED BY THB STATE. The two prime reasons which have led to the extraordinary bonuses which this office has been able to declare have been its ECONOMICAL MANAGEMENT and its RE MARKABLY FAVOURABLE MORTALITY EXPERIENCE. " The Australasian Insurance and BanlcinQ Becord" says,—"lt [the N.Z. Government office] possesses the splendid advantage of operating in parhaps the health iest country ia the world." To this, coupled with rigid care in the selection of lives, has been due the unprecedentedly low rate of mortality which tho office has en joyed. Tear by year the actual deaths have fallen far short of what was anticipated, and the funds thereby saved bwre all gone to swell the profits, which at -Bhe valuation in 18S6 (for three years) amounted in CASH to £225,000 Sterling.
