A Judge's Interrupted Bathe

In referring to tbb recent case of a police magistrate who was stopped m a hanscm cab and aeked to make an. order, the law Tim&s calk attention to the feet that while a police magis trate has no jurisdiction outside hit own coart, a Judge of the Bigh Court his jurisdiction anywhere m Kngiaiuf. Mr Justice Stephens was once applied to for, and gr«nted,an injunction whilst driving m a cab through Piccadilly Circus. Lord Brampton, till recently known as Mr Justice Hawkins, once made an order whilst walking on Brighton pier, and Mr Justice Wright has been known to grant an m junction while travelling m a railway carriage. But the most curious case is that of Vice Chancellor Shadwell. He wae » member of the society called 'Psychro lutee/and the condition of mpnabfrship was that each of its numbers should bathe m the open water daily daring the months from November to March. It whs while bathing m the Thame* near Barnes that he was applied to for an interim injunction, which he grafted.



SCOTLAND AND THE .ARMY REOR GANISATION —In Scottish military, Yeomanry, and volunteering circles * good deal of interest has naturally been aroustd by the announcement (bat under the new scheme of Army reorganisation Scotland Is to be given the position of an army corps district. By the new scheme Scotland will gain immensely m military status. It hai been a standing grievance m certain quarters that for many years past the claims of Scotland m a military con nection have been ceglected. For years the Scottish command hag em braced only three regiments of regnlart —a cavalry regiment divided between Pier&hill and Maryhi!!, an infantry regiment stationed m Edinburgh Castle and a second infantry regiment located at Maryhill. Whatever happens, thia arrangement, it is thought, stands a fair chance of being altered. Two beautiful young matron* ia Paris» whose husbands, prominent stockbrokers, were recently ruined, have opened a' attest school %• intending wives, where yewng ladies are put through a regular court* of moral, material, and domeatio duties. It includes treatment of a husband m joy and grief, cocking, organisation of house* holds, care of infants, end nursing the tick.

A FORTUNE TN A BOTTLE. WHAT is WEALTH without HEALTH Heatherlea, Levin, Feb. 20, 1901 Dear Sir, —For the last twelve K»onths I have been o» mple'ely rundown snffering from Nervous Deblli'y, Fxtrcme Weakness and other ailments incidental to niy sex. My condition vrm each I wae quite unable to get about, or to do anything at all. When 1 heard of the great benefit other sufferers had derived from the use of PLANTEKOA, 1 procured a blttle, using it as directed, and the result waa as gratifying aa ft was astonishing. I became quite well again, and able to get about aa ufrGaL I have much pleasure m sending you these few lines ; make what nse yon like of them. Yours truly, (Mrs) J How P S—l can also recoirmend PL ANTE KOA as a good medicine for the Blood and strengthening the system.—J R There are hundreds of Ladles m New Zealand much the same as Mrs Row, really not ill enough to require rest m bed, and yet so ill ihat they can scarcely "evawl about" The remedy that will change this state of affairs is the well known GEFAT HERBAL REMEDY PLANT!

"The numbers of those slain m the Transvaal war are small when compared with the numbers of those who, since the war began, have died m Great Britain from consumption. No less than 20,000 persons have succumbed to this deadly disease during the past four months!" (Extract) CONSUMPTION. What is it? It ■■—■■■■■■■■■■| means being con sumed, wasting away—a decay of the vital forces. When coughs or colds attack the system and the vital forces begin to fail, there comes a wasting, or consumption, and this, if not checked, ends m death. But coughs and colds can be checked. The ravages of consumption can be arrested, and the patient restored to j full health I Lane's ■Uldvisor: CREASOTED EMULSION of Pure Cod Liver Oil, Lime, and Soda, cures coughs and coUlk—the parents of consumption—and its fcomo properties give resistive power and si re.ngth to the whole system.
