Tobacco and the Potato.

The richly-perfumed yellow wall flowers that he brought to Ireland from the Azores, and the Aflano cheoiy, .arc still found where hefirstplanted thembythoßlackwater. Some cotlars ho brought to Cork are to this day growing, according to tho local historian, Air John (Jeorge MacCmthy, at a place called Tivoli. Tho four venerable yew trees, whose branches have grown and in termingled into a sort of summer-house thatch, iu-e pointed out as having sheltered Raleigh when lie first smoked tobacco in his Youghal garden. In that garden he also planted tobacco. The climate of the south of Ireland favoured its cultivation. Many years after his time the name of Ivaleiyh was favourably mentioned in College Green, when tho Irish House of Commons contemplated encouraging tobacco plantations in Ireland. Tho supposed necessity, however, of protecting tobacco planters in the colonies, and supporting tho customs revenue of England, compelled tho Lord-Lientemmt to veto any revival of Baleigli's scheme. A few steps further on, where- the town wall of the thirteenth cen tury bounds the garden of the Warden's house, is the famous spot where the first Irish potato was planted by him. In that garden lie gave the tubers to the ancestor of tho present Lord South veil, by whom they were spread through out tho province of Minister. Sn an old book of travels in the northern counties, quoted in the "Gentleman's Magazine" •eighty years ago, it is said:—" Potatoes were first planted here (in Lancashire), having been brought from Ireland to Eng land by the immortal Raleigh." Writing from Cork in August, 1(502, Carew says to Sir Robert Cecil, "I sent unto Sir W. R many sorts of ore. I would be glad to know how they prove, and that speedily " Before this, Raleigh had brought some Cornish miners to Ireland, and had spent a considerable sum in trying to develop the mineral resources of tho country. How different would the popular traditions re specting Raleigh in Ireland be if his taste in such things and his literary genius had been associated with a wiser and more truly English policy than that of repression !— "Sir Walter Raleigh in Ireland. By Sir John Pope Hennessy."

Manufacturing a Club.

The way it is made is peculiar. The native first takes a piece of Bilttablo granite, which ho places in a slow lire of cocoa-nut shells, which give an immense heat, and allows it to become red-hot. He then, by the aid of a split bamboo, in the place of ton"-s, re moves it from the tire, and begins to drop water on it, drop by drop, each drop fall ing exactly on the same place. That portion of the stone on which the water falls begins to crack and fly off, until the heat has gone out of the stone. He then repeats the operation until an irregular hole is formed through the centre ; he then fixes a stick through it, and takes it off to a place where there is a largo granite rock in which is a dent like a small basin. He hits the stone upon the rock until all the rou»-h corners are knocked off, and it is worn fairly round; then takes the end of the stick, and press ing the stone down into the hollow of the rock, makes the stick revolve rapidly between his hands, weighting it with other stones fastened to tho top of the stick, until that side of tiie stone is worn perfectly smooth and round. Ho then shifts tho other side of tho stone downwards, and works at that until both are smooth and evon, choosing a handlo of : tough wood about four feet long, on to which he fixes the stone with gum from the breadfruit tree, leaving about four inches protruding at one end beyond tho stone."—"Wanderings in a Wild Country ; or Three Years among tho Cannibals of New Britain." By Wilfred Powell.

BE. J. C O LL I S BROWNE'S CIILORODYNE, THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY GENUINE. ADVICE to Invalids.—lf you wish to obtain quiet, refreshing- sloup, free from headache • relief from pain and nnguish, to cnlm and ' assuage the weary achings of protracted Ui::« ~s( , invigorate tlio nervous media, and rogulato the circulating systems of the body, you will provide yourself with that marvellous remedy discovered by Dr. J. Cellis Browno (Lato Army Medical Stair), to which he gavo the nuim> of CHLORODYNE.and which is admitted by the profession to bo the most wonderful and valuable remedy over discovered. CHLOUODYNK is the best remedy known for CougliH, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma. CULOHODYNK acts liko a charm in Diarrhosa, and is the only specific in Cholera aud Dysentery. CIILeiIODYNE effectually cuts short all attacks of Epilepsy, Hysteria, Palpitation, and Spasms. CHLORODYNE is tho only pallativo in 1 Nouralk'ia, Hheumatism, Gout, Cancer, Tooth ache, Moninifitis, &c. ,J*° m Symes & Co. Pharmaceutical Chemists, Medical Hull Simla, January 5, 1880. To J T Davenport, Esq., 33, Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, London. Dear Sir,—Wo embrace this opportunity of congratulating you upon tho i -wide-spread reputation this justly estoomed medicine, I)r J. Collis Browno's Chlorodyne has earned for itself, not only in Hindostan, but nil over tho East As a romedy of general utility, wo much question whether a hotter is imported into the country, and we shall be glad to hear of its finding a place in ovorj- Anglo-Indian home The other brands, wo aro happy to say are now relegated to tho nntivobazanrs, and judging from their sale, we fancy their sojum there willbe hut evanescent. We could multiply instances ad iniinitum of tlie extraordinary efficacy of I)r Colbs Browno's Chlorodyne in Diarrhoea and Dysentry, Spasms, Cramps. Neuralgia, tho Vomiting of Pregnancy, nnd as a general seda tive, that have occurred under our personal observation during many years. In Chok-rui.: Diarrhoea and even more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we htivo witnessed its surprising contuoHing powor. Wo have novel- used anr other form of this medicine than Collis Browne's froinafirmconviction that it isdecidedly the best, and also from a sense of duty wo owe to the profession and tho public, as we aro of opinion that the substitution of any other than Collia Browne s is A delibbhate imtucii of FAITH OX THIS I'ARTOF TIIK CHEMIST TO rHESCIIIIIKK and patient alike.

QTEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO riTF.GHASKRS. Tho value of this well-known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of 'the world and by all grades of society, for upwards of 1.-11-TV years. Its well-earned extensive sale has induced spurious imitations, some of which in oltwaud appkaranck ko closely resemble the original as to have deceived many purchasers. The proprietor, therefore, feels ft duo to the public to give a special caution against the use of such imitations. Purchasers are therefore requostcd carefully to observe the four following distinctive char acteristics, without which none are genuine : lst—Tn every case the words John Steed- MAJT, Liiemibt, Wawohth, Sukkkt are en graved on the Government Stamp uilLxed to each packet 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and tho words John Stuodman, Chemist, Wai worth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3rd—Tho name Steednian is always spelt with two KE*s. 4tli—Tho manufacture is carried on solely in Walworth, Surrey.

A great many people aro not insured against loss by fire And yot tney have property which might at nny ilm» bo burr.t. and this might occur throuwh no fault of their own, and wr.ile exercising every know precaution. DJTE TOU PROPERTY TO LOflH BT VIRH ? What would it oost to replace your furniture, jour books your clothing your jewellery—muy bo. yonr stock in trade ? Did tho thought ever cross your mind that you might bmddenly nnd unexpectedly find these utterly and irrrclalm ably destroyed? You have never had a flro. nor has any one in your immediate neighbourhood. You have been accustomed to find things in the morning an you left them at, nitfht; or to ro a journey and find them uninjured. But fires happen, daily in this country, and it is no unosual thing for a man to awakn to a con sciousness that his houso is blazing or to be summoned homo to in3p;ct its smoking ruins This occurs literally every d«y in soino part or other of this country. DO YOU RECOGNISE THE DANOtK OF FIRE? Of all clnsscs of accidents, flroi are by far tho most frequent und most disastrous. New Zea land maybe said novo- to be without fires, and every district is visited in turn with this CiJami'y. Seen afar i tf, the danger does not seem formidable; -when brought almost to our door, the imminence of the risk can bo better appreciated. And yet it is there, evoa if not recognised—and always. Tho causes at acci dents by flro are so numerous and various, and are so intimately connected with our social arrangements tha< the liability must bo over present Winter and summer, night and day no matter when, ihero is alwnya tho hidden danger- lucifer matches, sparks, cinders over heated fines; the negligence of <;hi dm, of servants, of neighbours ; unsu«pected defect in stove-pipes, ia constiuction of chimnfiya in machinery: even the pranks of iw.imaUand the processes of nature. Theso are a very fo w among the many constant, ever-recuninj; sources of loss. Do you recognise tho possibility that your property muy at any timtj he de stroyed without warning, and in Bpito of all your c»re ? It certainly is so and it will be well if you sea this. THE COST OP FIRB INSURANCE By the NEW ZEALAND INSURANCE COMPANY ha 3 been roduced to a minimum. Private dwelling-houses, fnrniuiro. household goods, and the like are now insured for a few shillings per annum.. It is no figure of speech, therefore, to say that it is brought within tho reach of all. And yet, in spite of this • coi.omy of cost, it is constantly reportt d of sufferers by fire that " tho loss is not covered by insurance." SMALL LOSSES. It ia not only loss from the total do-truction of property by fire that is to bo guarded ugainst, and whirh is provided for by an insurance policy hut, losses by fire on a smaller ecnlo also. These small losse3areembraceil in tho insurance contract and are cheerfully met by the companies. The value of File Insurance is woi scon by tho fact that ev>n a small claim of, say. £10 would take thirty-threo years aft 6s premium to make it up: one small loss, therefore—of a caroet, for instanco—will cover tho insoiod'a outlay for thirty threo years. Andftheso small fires occur even in "the best regulatt-d families." THE UNINSURED. In lmost cases tho neglect of fire insurance can only bo regarded as culpable folly. A man of enormouu property, widely diffused, may fairly say, I will bo my own insurer. But for any o c of ordinary means to run tho risk of a i Iflastrous lots by fire, when he can bo pro tected by tho expenditure of a few shillingH, U obviously most unbusinesslike, improvident, and unwi?«. Tho uninsured has always hang ing over him a possible danger, which the act of Insurance entirely removes. Your safeguai d is to INSURE AGAINST FIRE IN TIIK VW r^EALANO TNSURANCK /~<O ITE.V ZiEALAND XNSURANCE
