Lodge-Keeper and the Princess

While cycling hi the Long Walk of Windsor Great Park, which is barred to cyclists, the Princes. Victoria wsb stopped by a ledge-keeper. According to the story eircniated in Windsor, the Prin cess was thrown off her machine and covered in mud, bat this, writes a corre* spondent, is untrue, and her Royal Highness was fortunately unhurt. An apology was afterwards made to the Princess by the keeper, who was, of course, ignorant of her identity, but she resentied his mode of procedure, and told him, it is said* that brought not to have treated the poorest woman as he had done her. The keeper is an old Crimean soldier, and was formerly a soldier in the Coldstream ©Hards. He was placed In the lodge by the late Victoria, who decorated him with the Distinguished Service Medal a fewjmonths before her death. Green has been interviewed.' Princess Victoria, he said, accompanied by Lady Musgrave, was riding throngh the gates when, acting on his erdera to allow io cyclist to use the Long Walk, h* commanded them to stop. As the ladiee did not seem inclined to obey bis behest, he caught hold of the Princeaa'e machine, and she fell. "I repudiate," said the veteran, " that I poshed her off or was in any way rude to her. The King and his daughters have not been here math, and the fact is I did not know them. If I had known ib was Princess Victoria I should, as you can well under* stand have allowed her to pass through without any attempt to stop her I apologised, and have had a very nice letter from the Princess, in which she exonerates mo from all blame, and said that I was only doing my duty, but that I \ ought not to have caught hold of the ! handles of the machine.'

Count Tolstoy's Appeal to the Czar.

SUGGESTED REFORMS, The Daily News publishes the Nil texb of the appeal made by Count Tolstoy to the Czar. Among the reforms suggested by the Count are the following : — Abolish the senseless arbitrary institu tion of petty rulers. Abolish the special rules which restrain the relations between working men and their employers. Liberate the peasants from the necessity of purchasing passports m order to move from place to plase, aud also from those compulsory obligations which are laid exclusively on them, each as furnishing accommodation and horses for Govern ment officials, men for police service &o. Liberate them from the unjust obliga tion of paying tbe arreas of taxes incurred by other peasants Above all, abolish the senseless, utterly unnecessary, shameful corporal punish ment which has been retained only for the most industrious, mora.', and numer ous part of the population. We should abolish all obstacles to education, bringing up and teaching of children, and men. We should cease from making distinctions m the afseasibility to education' between persons of various social positions, and therefore abolish all exceptional prohibitions of popular reading's, teaching, and bocks which for some reason are regarded as harmful to the people. Allow participation In all school f people of all nationalities atid creeds, Jews included, who have for some reason bee n deprived of this right. Cease to hinder the teachers from speaking languages which the children who frequent the schools speak. Above all, allow the organisation and management of every kind of private schools, both higher and elementary, by all persons who desire to engage m keep' ing schools. Ib is necessary to abolish all those laws according co which any digression from the Established Church is purchased as a crime. To allow the opening and organisation of the old sectarian chapels and churches, also of the prayer houses of Baptist Molo* kans Stundists. and all others, To allow religious meetings and ser' mons of all derominations, Not to hinder people of various faiths from educating their children m the fait h which they regard as the true one

Strong Testimony THIS 18 ASHBURTON TESTI MONY AND WILL STAND IN VBSTIGATJ.ON. If you doubt the following and wish to investigate you haven't to go to some other town in the colony to prove it. It's not a long story published in the Ashburton papers about a - resident of Auckland or Wellington. It's about a resident of Ashburton and given in his own words. What proof could be better or stronger ? { Mr George Halleburton, Engineer, Oox street, Ashburton, says ;«—*l have 1 suSered most terribly with the kidneys. Many is the time I have had to knock off work through the pains which this malady caused me. Painßin the spine below the shoulders were the worst and these made me pretty well helpless; The secretions were disordered and contained a deposit like brick-dust, and were always scalding. I used to take purgatives for this ailment and until I got Doan's backache kidney pills I looked upon them as my standby. The purgatives did me very little good but I tho most good I knew how to obtain. Doan's backache kidney pills however, were an education to me. I know now thjH purgatives are injurious in the long run. Doan's backache kidney pilis did me good without in any way weakening me; They acted splen did!? on the system throughout it seemed, and relieved me from head to heal. I lost all the pains and my secretions were restored to a proper condition. I strongly recommend the use of Doan's backache kidney pills. Many ia New Zealand suffer with the kidneys and here is a kidney medicine which wiil keep them in good health. I II procoed this remedy at the Ashburton Drug Store. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are iold by all chemists and store keepers 3s per box or will be posted on receipt of price by the proprie tors, Foster McClennan 00, 76 Pitt Street, Sydney, N. 8, W
