The "Go Easy" Workman.

(From ths London Daily Mail)

So long as wo kmen believe in whal political economists call the theory of a ' | wages fund,'and that there is only just enough work 'to go round,' io long will they believe that by doing only half a day's work they are pro viding hall a day's work for somebody else. Thus laziness becomes merito rious and the shirker performs a social dltf

Intelligent people know that thii theory is not only morally but economi cally unsound. Nevertheless, it hat a vogue, and the trade union leaders who will have the courage to expose and denounce it will be doing a service to their country.

A Supreme Duty.

(From the Daily Chronicle )

When the existence of the Empire is At stake, when an enemy which launched ao ultimatum upon the Empire is still In arms against It, there is one supreme duty. Ie is not *be a united party against the Government.' It is 'be one people. 1

The Effects of Whisky.

Even war has its humorous side, and the Journal dcs Debate has discovflred an amusing story in a German paper that illustrates this point. It Is the story of a German officer who, in command of some Boers, managed to surprise a British train at some small station. There was some excellent whiskey on board, and the Boers soon sampled it, with the result that the good British spirit did its duty by laying them out fast asleep on the platform. Here they were found and captured by some of the British troops, who', in their turn, took a little from the half empty cask, with the result that, acting on half starved men, the whisky sens them to sleep in their turn. When the Boera woke up they captured their capturers, and thus in a few hours there was one British victory and two Boer victories, all of a bloodless kind,

A YOUNG LADY'S LIFE SAVED.

At Panama, Columbia, by Chamberlain'! Colic, Oholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Dr Cbas. H Utter, a prominent physician of Panama, Columbia, in a recent letter states; ' Last March I had as a patient a young lady sixteen years of age, who had a very bad attack of dysentery. Everything I prescribed for her proved ineffectual and she wss growing worse every hour. Her parents were sure she would die. She had become so weak that she could not turn over m bed. What to do at this critical moment was a sUidy for me, but I thought Chamberlain's Coilo, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and as a last resort prescribed it. The moat wonderful result was effected. Within eight hours she was feeling xauih better; inside of three days she was upon her fseb and at the end of one week was entirely well.' For sale by Ashburton Drug Co*
