Good Rosebery Story.

There are two curiou. idhsyncrasiel in Lord Roeebery's character as a publio speaker. One is that he is nothing of an extempore orator, tod oan seldom of never be drawn to mike an imprompta epeeoh, The other is that tbeir it Kooi.thing that ha likes when be hat te make a big speech besides plenty of time for preparation, «nd that is a pint or so of dry champagne. Thereby hangs a ttle, in connection with a»grett Liberal meeting in Dundee, Ou the evening of tho meeting Lord Rosebery dined with Lord Provist of tho Oity of Jute, who happened to be an ardent and convinced teetotaller ; aud the only beverage dis pensed at the banquet was orangeade in large glass jugs. The longer the orangeade circulated (says tho Week" End the more depressed grew the spirit* of the ex Premier, and the more hope less he became about his impending oration. The moment dinner wis over, he called aside one of hie fellow guests —a Profes.or of the neighbouring Uni versity—and inquired which was the bfsfc hotel in Dundee. Mtklng some hurried excuse to his host, be chartered a swift hansom, drove rapidly to th# indicated hostelry, aud called for a pint (*n imperiai pint) of their best dry champagne. The end justified the means, aud the subsequent speech waf one of bis most brilliant efforts.

"Call Me Early."

We are told that tha Sydney Daily | Telegraph again calls attention to the j signs that Mr Seddon is usurping j Australiasla's leadership in Empire politics. * Pakeha' sends us the following with apologies to Tennyson. R.J.S sings: You must wake and call me early—-call mi early, Joseph, dear I (Y)u'U have to rise pretty early to catch me asleep, I fear.) F._r I'm off to the Coronation in a dignified sort of way, I'm going to England in May, Joseph—-I'm going to England in May. There's many a slim, slim brain, Joseph, but none so slim as mine. The small State Premiers are kicking up a i-K>-t unholy shine, For "Australasia's leadership I'm usurping —. o' they say, And the tail te wagging the dog, Joseph— I,m off to England iv May. For I saw the lay of the land, Joseph—'fore eves- it came to blows. And 1 weathered on ali who coald'nt see an iuoh beyond their nose, And I *rose ' till I bluffed on. Toby, and the ace of trumps did play, And wiped the eye of the Commonwealth} so Pm off to England in May. They chuck out our oats and spuds, Joseph —they- do not import a ton. They say that our land would only make an average back blocks run, But they don't like second fiddle to the b-g^pes that I play, Ana <*. Borne I'm Lion to Toby*s Mouse, as I think I sh-.il find in May, I nailed the pea in the thimble, I spotted the gold in the lamp, I tumbled to what must happen—l saw how thrc cat would jump. My gallant Maorilanders fought like men in ihe tightest fray, And the Eri-i.h public will rise at me when I toddle along in May, So call me early, Joseph—l must place T-d on the throne, For the thing would be a fiasle If I didn't give It tone; Pack up my go to meetings—l'm sure to be asked to stay, And they'll give me decent weeds and fizz as the guest of the State in May, Don't kiss me ere I go, Joseph—don't fall upon my neck, But take my tickets single, and write me a full 6iz,d cheque ; The Cz.r has n > heir, cay Joseph, and the Pope is old, they say. And I u_*y stay on to straigthen things up, whan I-oace get Home in May,

FLOATING KIDNEY, DISORDERED LIVER, CHRONIC TNDIGtfSTTON, NEURALGIA IN TBE SiDS & BACK. MB ERNEST A. CLEMKNT, of the Talt i .who la in the employ of the Hutb Oounty Council, relates his mnst remarkable case as follows :—" Te Pro ptietor Plantekoa. Sir, —I feel it my duty both to yon and also suffering humanity to make known the benefit I have derived from the use of Plantekoa. I have been under treatment for years for my kidneys, liver and chronic indig.stior.. Under examination the Doctors thought I had a fi ja.ing kidney, and prescribed medicines and lotions for treatment, and in fact I have lodine and other things in tha hon. c I now thab was supplied to painfc my back. In addition to the complaint mentioned I | used to suffer ab times most excruciating pains from neuralgia in the side and back. Befide the doctor's treatment I have tried almost countless Patent Medicines in the effort to get relief. I can honestly say tha. Plantekoa hap made a new man of me, has cured tho ailments above referred to, and I am now enjoying better health than I havß done for years. Any further information wjll ba gladly furnished if desired. 1 wish to say also that Plantekoa Ointment has prov.d a wonderful friend to mo. Aboat sis years ago after playing la a football match my Lody became! covered with pimples, which turned to chronic ecz.ma. Daring th' se ynnr.. I oannob describe the suff .ring ciu.ed nor yet count the number of ointments Mid the like that J tried to relieve this terrible complaint. When I used to perspire at j my work, the smarting, itching and yet j burning irritation would nearly drive me I crazy. I have cssed Plantekoa Ointment with result. I have not the slightest trace of the complaint left, and my skin is us clear as that of a little child. While in a very heated condition I pub on another Footballer's jersey in mistake for my own, I do not know if that had anything to do with starting my complaint, bub a singular fact was that the irritation commenced at thab time, and covered my body, arms and neck, while my face, legs and hands were free. Suffice to say thab whatever way ib came Plantekoa has cured it completely. Ib will be seen by my letter that I have had my share of suffering, and really the condition I have been in life was nob worth living. After ray experience PLANTEKOA stands without a rival " Ask your Chemist or Storekeeper far It. Fall particulars and testimonials on application to PLANTEKOA PROPRIETARY, Wellington I
