Pro-Boer Journalism.

A Peris correspondent of an inquisi tive turn of mind bus taken the trouble to go through the last two ye&ra' files of 'La Patrie,' a prominent Parisian i journal, and collect the casualty figures published froro time to time m connec tion with the South African wtr, The amassing mass of statistics which has resulted from his labours forma a etrik - ing illustration of the character of the 'news' which come of the Oontlncntftl papers publish when dealing with the South African w*r. There h»B beon, by 'L» PitrieV fhowing, 1101 battles during the war. The Boers havo had IBi killed, including 23 officer**, while 800 men and 17 officers on the Boir tide have been ciptared' The Hat of British soldier* killed, on the other hand, reaches the amuing total of 8,189,180 men, including 60,000 officers ; and the captured amount to 190,000 meu and 8000 officers. According to «La PatrieV tc ports, the Boers must have won 1094 engagements and lost only seven ; they mast have ciptured 2160 guns, 7000 horses and mulos, and 818 provision trains, and m their turn lost only 14 guns, 30 borees and moles, and 42 provision trains. Although not a single Boer leader ia re ported by sLa Patirio' to have been killed, and casualties among the British generals appear to have totalled 71, including five who were killed three times, if tbia veracious newspaper is to be believed, General Methuen was killed seven times daring the first four months of the war i But this was not the only extraordinary experience. General Kelly-Kenny, iti appears, had his head blown off m three geparate engagements, described m detail by the 'Patrie' correspondents; and before rettfrning to England Lord Roberta had been onfortQßate enough to lose five legs and nice right arms ! Lord Kitchener also seems to have fared bftdljs for up to the beginning of last month he had been assassinated three fcimei by his own men m revenge foi the harah discipline he kept on en forcing. In one week 'La Patrie 1 has recorded the capture or death of more British troops than there are m South Africa. Ooe begins to understand cow why pro-Boerism flourishes so hardily on the Continent.

No More Headache.

AN AUCKLAND LADY'S PRAISE OF BILI BEANS.

THEY GET TO THE ROOT OF THE TROUBLE.

MILD AND PLEASANT TO TAKE.

To allow the good things on the table to pa«s without being able to partake of them is sad indeed. Yet such is the fate of those poor individ nals who suffer from indigestion. Now, Bile Beana for Biliousness act almost like a charm upon those who have dyspepsia, and the proprietors are m receipt of many testimonials from New Zealanders In support of this state ment, and the following latter from Mrs W Todd, of Cross Street, Auckland, is one of these ; —" Having had occasion to tiie Bile Beans for Biliousness, I hi?e much pleisure m adding my tea limony to their value as a remedy for Indigestion, biliousness *nd nervous headache. T.t ia my opinion that they surpass all other remedies. I ha^e no hesitation m recommending them to persons sufi ring from a disordered liver. They are mild and pleasant to take, acting naturally and giving speedy relief," $ew Zealand psople should not forget that Bile Beans for Biliousness give the stomaoh »nd liver power to do their duty, n-itnrally and regularly, and at the Btme time th^y make healthy blood and steady nerve tissue. They miko weak spots sound, and are absolutely the only medicine that can be relied upon for strengthen ing every organ of the body. They are compounded especially to act upon the liver, and through it upon the blood, and through the blood on the whole system. Bile Beans are sold at all chemists, at a price that places them within the reach of all, and no one should be without a box for emergencies. Kemptborne, Prcsser & Co., New Zealand Agents;
