Victoria College.

Wellington, Sept 16

At a meeting of the Victoria College Council to-night, the Building Committee recommended that; college buildings be erected at a cost of .£30,000, and that part of the buildings be proceeded with at once as far as available funds will allow. The funds available amount to .£15,000, which is being given by the Government in an nual instalments of JJSOOO. The opinion was expressed that this amount was quite inadequate to provide proper accomoda iton, and that it would be better to expend .£15,000 in the commencement of suitable buildings in the hope, that more would eventually become available. It was de cided on the motion of Bishop Wallisthat competitive designs be invited for the build ing on such conditions as shall be approved at the next meeting.

Sir Wilfred Laurier's Acvice to Young Men.



Afc the luncheon given by Edinburgh University Union to the- Oolonul visi ! tors, Sir W. . Laurier said that that morning, in the very "admirable ad dress they hoard from Dr Schaefer his friend, Dr Seddon, was complimented, and deservedly so, because Now Zoalnud, under his leadership, had been first to adopt Woman's SufJroge. .. (LaugEter.) At the risk of being called reactionary—ho had no doubt his friend Mr Stsddon had done his best for his colony - but there was one thing in which he would disagree with him. They had something better to do for women than to givn them the suffrage. (Applause and laughter.) And what was it they did for them ? In his country, and especially in the province from which he came—and perhaps thny would not be sur prised in the Fiench province of Quebec, what they did for the-women was they mar ried them. (L>uid Liughter.) They be came the mothers of famil es, of large families, —renewed laughter—of very large families—continued laughter—they gave to their children a good domestic educa aticn; they taught them the fear of G-od, and respect for the law, they made them good citizens and good voters. (Cheers.) Now, in (he course of his admir able address Dr Schifer gave some very good advice to the young graduates who were entering on the battle of life. Might he be permitted to join his advice to Dr Schafer's-to give them the views of one ■who unfortunately was no longer young, and, as he hoped, was not a'together old? (Laughter.) His advice would be to them to do as they did in his country, not wait until they were rich and earned princely incomes in order to marry, but do as they did in Canada, marry young. (Laughter.) It was said to the French soldiers by the great Napoleon that every one of them carried a Field-Marshal's baton in his knapsack. They graduates carried with them their diploma, success, fame, and fortune, and let him advise them not to waituntil they had reached those princely incomes to marry but marry young. (Applause.) And if they would permit him again to give them the views, and the example, and the experience of his country —and of somebody in that audience still more connected with Canada—he would say they would find how little of worldly goods they required in that country when the deficency was supplied with love. (Loud applause.)



The Chewers. —The society who miscall themselves " The Chewers," although they come from the otiier side of the Atlantic, arc, strange to say, no devotees of tobacco ; on the contrary, most of them regard it as an unholy thing. Thoy are the apostles of a new dietetic creed. The Chewers ad dress themselves to the quantity rather than to the quality of our food. They hold the hard doctrine that wo all eat about ten times too much and starve in consequence, our organs becoming- exhausted with the burden of material, and being clogged with waste. One slice of I rown bread and but ter or of good cake eaten witb. extreme slowness, crumb by crumb, so that it is thoroughly dissolved in the mouth before swallowing, makes they say, an ample meal for a hard-working man, because if so eaten it will be highly assimilable. Worms undermine Children's Constitut ions. Use Wade's Worm Fig s, Is boxes. Have any :>f youk Neighbours Told You that the Greatest Sale of Reliable Cycles ever held in New Zealand is under way at John Okb amd Co.'s, sole New Zea land agents for the celebrated easy running Wtiverley Cycles. In order to celebrate the sale of 1000 Waverley Cycles, John Orb and Co. are offering six Ladies' and six Men's Machines-at the extremely low price of £16 10s, complete with lamp and bell. These are not old model machines, but the Latest 1902 Waverleys, and as this offer only remains open for two weeks you cannot afford to delay. The Waverle.y is no new machine of which you know nothing but one that has stood the test of time and weak, and there are hundreds of Waverleys in use at the present time which have been ridden by their fortunate owners . many thousands of miles over all kinds of j country, good and bad, at a cost of next to | nothing for repairs. Bear this in mind, the sale only lasts two weeks. Every person who hasltried TUSSICURA says the same thing. It is absolutely infallible in all cases. Smoke New Venus ,
