Comedy in Real Life.

Fdmond Haraucourt, the well known Hrrnch dramatist, who is responsible fop he version of «Hamlet' played at the ( Oora d « Francals, has, according to a fai is correspondent, had an extraordinary experience m his finmmtr home near tfrehat, m Brittany. The influx ol visitors annoyed H Harau- Sn a/il W.u Oi BRlovet ot^Utnd€ % and after finding that an extensive barbed wire f. nee did not prevent visitors from aazlna at his garden from without, he took the extreme measure of writing an article m a Paris paper deprecating Brehat, which he accused of being overrun with consume tives, and so unhealthy as to render a visit to it dangerous to life. This article annoyed the people of Brehat, and they resolved to boycott M. Haraucourt. A few days after Its appear ance M Haranconrt went to the batcher's to order his luncheon. • I regret, mon sieur,' said the man of carver and steel, •but my meat is all diseased.' A con sumptive peeped into the even while my bread was baking, and it is not fit to nat? eafd the baker. Similar answers, met the* oij..(or£nij»tß author at every shop. Finally, says the correspondent, after failing to get the ferryman to take him across to Paimpol, where he might have bought provisions, M Haraucourt was obliged to dine off a piece of dry bread which a Parisian living at Brehat gave him out «f pity, and he haß now bought a boat m which he goes to Paimpol, every day to purchase saoh food as he needs,



The Rush of '51. . ♦- : _ . GOLD DIGGER'S REMINISCENCES. It is nob often (writes a contemporary) that one drops across one of the old miners who took part m the historic gold rush, to West Australia m 1851, and whe,n our representative heard" that Mr Charles Wunch, of Normanby, near Hawera, Taranaki, had been m that precarious venture, he interviewed him. 41 was a lad of eighteen, living In New York, wheii word came of the rich finds,' fc«t-»|sfc^,^wjl °f cabinet making, mE$ sTq2Fs^''M rWabeingtne trade iOkilLSfu^ilyGif hs now follows. \sysx££-\%gL$ i^ 'or West Australia, W^L^^^^af%^ nd&m one of the HglPSl^aC^ii^g* .went throng all the PH|j|k y^S hardships °t that p*g^^Jy^y'-'.\l: y -ush almost from p^iff'Sfc'^^j^l^ start to finish. Al. though that occurred fifty years ago I remember ib as well as yesterday—in fact, I have good caofle to do so, for two years ago I was suddenly attacked by acute sciatica, the result, according to medical opinion, of the exposure of '51 • Rather a long delayed, result, was ife not I' said the pressman. ISo it appears,' replied Mo Wunch. When I was middle aged and hi moderate heai'h iha disease did not develop, but when I reached my sixty seventh year, the sciatica symptoms were unmistakeabie. The pains m n.y left thigh and knee were like burning needles being driven through my flesh During an attack I was quite helpless and unfit for work, owiijg to the pain and coutractiou of the muscles ; m fact I lost many months' work through the disease.' ' Were yoa troubled with Ib m the summer V *Y( s, it kept on io the summer, bab net nearly so acutely as m the winter. I had medical treatment and used a number of embrocations and medicines without effect. Eighteen months ago I read of a man who had been cured of sciatica by Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people. The report bore the stamp of truth, so I pur chased a box, and after taking iis contests felt improved. Another box benefited me still more; my muscles became quite flexible," all stiffness left my joints, and the pains lessened. I took two more boxes and the pains left me. My health is now good and [ can confidently recom mend Dr Williams' pink pills for they brought me relief after I had tried numberless other medicines and treatment until I was well nigh hopeless. 1 Those whose occupation is arduous and exposes them to damp and cold, are especially liable to sciatica. Many appar* ently remarkable cures of this nerve disorder have been made by Dr Williams' pink pills. Being a blood builder aad nerve tonic they also cure dyspepsia, liver and kidney troubles, neuralgia, chronic headaches, insomnia, anitmia, debility, nervous exhaustion m men and women, rheumatism, paralysis, etc. From chemists and storekeepers and the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, posb free.
