The Kaiser in London.

An Imposing Beception

London, Nov. 9

The Kaiser has arrived in England. He had an imposing reception from the fleet. A number of British torpedo destroyers escorted the German Imperial yacht to Sheerness, the battleships in the. harbour firing a salute. At ten in the morning the Kaiser entrained for Shorncliffe, where Lord "Roberts, Commander-in-Chief of the British Army, received him, the Kaiser wearing the uniform of the Ist Boyal Dragoons, of which he is an honorary colonel, and riding the white charger he used at Queen Victoria's funeral. . He reviewed the regiment in a pelting rain and a gale of wind, and, addressing the Dragoons, made a sympathetic reference to the late Queen, and called for cheers for the King. After lunching with the officers of the regiment, he proceeded to Sandringham, via London. The public were excluded from the stations en route. His Majesty the King, met him at Wol ferton, shaking hands, and saluting" the Kaiser on the cheek.

Extraordinary precautions were taken at all the junctions, and* the stations were cleared half an hour before the train passed, and closely followed by detectives. The Eight Hons. A. J. Balfour, J. Cham berlain, St. John Brodrick, and the Mar quis of Landsdowne were amongst the guests at the King's birthday party at Sandringh&m.

Taking the Tide.

The tide in the affairs of all men, and women likewise, if taken at the flood, not only leads to fortune, but blessings -without ■which fortune is of little good. * Take the case of Mrs Kilner, a lady who resides at 15 Sydney-road, Moreland, Melbourne. She relates how she took the tide at the flood, and her story jis a remarkably vivid illustration of two pictures which portray in each the most ■wretched and the happi est states of existenca. She writes : " A few weeks ago I had occasion to try Dr Morse's Indian Eoot Pills for influenza, which -was beginning to take a firm hold of me. They were commended to me for that terrible complaint. Previous to getting influenza I was listless, languid, and quite unable to do my work, owing, I believe, to the change of life. I can only describe my life as a most •wretched one owing- to this condition. Well, the pills not only cured me of influenza, but I was delighted to find that I was cured of the. depressed, run-down feeling 1, and I became bright and energetic; in fact, I am far and away better than I have felt for years, and I tike pleasure in recommending the pills to ail who need medicine for such complaintß. Dr Morse's Indian Eoot Pills are a perfect blood purifier, and a positive cure for bilious cess, indigestion constipation, headache?, sallow complexion, liver anii kidney troubles piles, pimples, boils and blotches, and for female ailments. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, is -^d per bottle, or six bot tles 6s 6d. Sole piopnetors, The W. H. Ccmstock Co., Limited. (Australasian Depot), 52 Pitt street, Sydney. Packed in amber bottles and the full name blown thereon.

Keep Fowls in your Orchard.

" The Profitable Farm and Garden" describe- a method of turning the fowls to profitable account in the orchard. Says the writer of the article : "At tbe season when man}' apples had fallen on tho ground, samples of the earth, six ir.ches square were taken, and the number of maggots under the trees was found to vary accord ing to siz* from 1,600 to more than 12,Q00 under each tree. Now comes the print which is particularly interesting. The experiment was tried as to whether poultry would destroy these maggots.

A large movable wire fence was placed about a tree whose fruit had'bnen destroyed by insects. Fifty hens were put into the enclosui;p, and they were confined to the space about the tree. As soon hs they had. eaten the corn they naturally began to scratch for the inserts, and in the-course o£ three or four days it was found that the latter had disappeared!

When we fully grasp the significance of this aud realise that, although an orchard be teeming with th^se insect robbers, our feathered constables will arrest them, »nd not only that, will hand the robbers over to their emploxers in marketable form, namely, choice fresh eggs, we cannot help being impressed with, the true economy of the combination."—" Pelorus Guardian."
