Over Specialised Even In Our Play.

(From the Westminister Gazette.)

j We are indued to agree with Mff J John Barns in his remark to an [au .Hence of working men that they art

being over epoc'alised in their pl«y as well as in their work; There certainly is a tendency to over specialise every form of play in which we indalge oi_ leisure moments.

To- attempt to play whist with tha

fogies who have made a science of the game is regarded as a serioas crime; Lawn tennis is barred to all who art not experts, and the man who likei _, gtme of billiards ts an amusement find. none at all when he plays with one of the

terribly accurate wield erg o! tbe cue who have nude a special study of every possible angle. But Mr Burns himsilf rtther over specialise, his dennncitti-li of the new ping pong frenzy. He takes it much (oo seriously, foe he wants to transport " ping pongists,* apparently because they are getting

" squint eyed," and also because their

Belgr.viaa mansions could then ha available for people from Bermondsey, We should not object to his trans porting those dreadful experts who hart seized upon a pleisant and harmleit pastime and are trying to make it a specialised science; but why is Mr Burns so angry with the game ? It if played in Bloomsbury and Brixton just ts much as in Belgravia, It is cheap, and if it were introduced into Bermond sey and Battersea it might do something to solve the problem of how to make thf working man's home as cheerful as tha public house:

Disquieting Rumours From India.

MASSING OF TROOPS AND WAR STORES.

1 We {Daily Chronicle) learn from an influential source that rumours are cur ent in India as to possible trouble ia Afghanistan in the coming spring; In the Punjab the belief is widespread that Russian troops will be massing al through the • black winter' on tha Northern frontiers of Afghanistan, and that when the snow on the passes be gins to melt this army may possibly make a dash into Afghanistan. On the British side of the border certain defensive steps are, we are in formed, being taken to meet any even* tualities that may occur. The Punjab army manoeuvres are timed to take place in February, a most unusual season of the year. They are to be what is called " a demonst ration in force," with everything on a war footing. Already, says an informant, a good many regiments are being quietly mas sed on the North-Western frontier, os tensibly to fight against the Mahsud W. ziris, but in reality to be ready for more serious complications. Many new hospitals are being built along the base, the stores and arsenait are filling quietly, but steadily. All of which points in only one direction

Wo had jus_ removed from Blackbridge to the Nai £Sai when my daughter Ethel had the misfortune lo step § on a broken tumbler, making a fearful gash, cutting into the ball of the foo>- _nd laying open the big loe In two halve?. We had it attsnded to, but it seemed to be getting worse, when, about five days . after tha f-.cnd.nt, we were advised to use PLAIN TEKOA OINTMENT, being assured that PLANTEKOA would soon heal it. At this time it waa very bad, the foot swollen and hard, and the wound bad an angry fiery appearance, and looked as if blood poisoning was setting in. However, wa faithfully applied Piantekoa Ointment, and without going into details, suffice to say that in a short time the foot was healed, she was able to pub her boots on and attend school again. I would also like to state that I used Piantekoa Ointment for my son, who had a gathering or abscess in the ear. He wag home from work for some lime with it and was In a bad state. The discharge from the ear was of such a character that If would set up irritation on the side of the face, and the pain was very severe. In this case Piantekoa Ointment was success fully applied, and in & few days my son resumed work. I cannot recommend Piantekoa Ointment too highly. Yours sincerely, Mrs Janb Swan. This wonderful ointment ought to be ir every home, not only to be there in case oi accident or emergency, but for everydaj . purposes, its uses are legion. It is sole! by all the leading storekeepers and chemists at 2s per large box, or sample boxes for sixpence, while to meet the demand for thia ointment from farmer* and others, for use with horses and cattle, it haa been placed on the market in hal; pound tins at 4s 6d.

HjpHE following unsolicited Testimonial A by a gentleman well known in Ashburton speaks for itself:—• Masterton, August 28,1901. Ross Antidote Company. Dear Sirs,—l feel it my duty to give yon this enclosed, testimonial in favor of Ross Antidote for purifying the blood. 1 have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, eto, My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almost every known one but yours, and o_e day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked Mack, you look very ill' (and you may depend I was), fie added, * Will yon take come medicine if I procure It; I replied I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly aa directed, and to my delight I began to geb well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man—thanks to your great discover j. I always keep it by me, and find a few j doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this.—l remain yours, etc, J H Pauling, Masterton May be obtained from Messrs Fletcher Bros and Shearman Bros, Ashburton 9232
