Latent Power.

Tiik recent volcanic disturbances in Hew Zealand and Tonga, and the great earth quakes in the United States, prove nothing more conclusively than the marvellous offects of latent power. The terrible out bursts which made new islands, devasted large tracts of country, swallowed up lakes, wrecked cities, and blotted out human life, find their source in powers which have been lying latent within tho centre of the earth perhaps for centuries. These latent powers accumulate and gather strength with time, until they become almost resistless in their nature and effects ; and it brings the ques tion of latent forces before the publio in a most striking, oven if disagreeable man ner. In all parts of the land, and es pecially at this time of the year, tho latent forces for good or evil in the human system seem particularly active. People who have been comparatively woll during the entire season, just now become awato that they possess nerves, and that they have muscles and joints with ix capacity for aching. These symptoms all indicate a latent power within tho system, which requires the greatest ears if it would bo controlled. It may bo various in its nature -possibly some hereditary taint in the blood, some poison oub humour, or aome pacing disorder. It is more than likely, however, tbat it is the ro suit of latent rheumatism which has been slowly accumulating its forces during a lon ger or shorter period. Whatr-ieumatism actually is,no one really knows. It haa been variously callod an affection of the muscles, a diseaeo of th-' joints, a derangement of tho nerves, and a disorder of tho blood. In its many forms it would almost seem to bo a combination of all theso troubles. But that it is cortainly a blood disorder no ono roally doubts. The causes that may combine to bring on this disorder called rheumatism may be legion ; but tho vital question must be wittj all sufferers not only how it can be avoided, but, boing acquirod, how it can ba removed. Unchecked,itnot only causea transient pain, but incroaso lo such on extent that it attacks the joints, __.u3.ng them to swell and incapacitating tho sufferer for eithor mental or physical exertion. Con tinued still more, it bocomes chronic and well-nigh incurable, thus often blasting the lives of many who wero otherwise designed for the highest onjoyment and euccoss. But even in its acute form it is dangerous, for then it is liable at any timo toattacktbehcavt or brain, thus causing death by heart di .ease or apoplexy. Or even, should these thing" bo avoided, it may affect the delicate and sensitive nerves, thus producing paralysis in ono of its many hideous forms. Rhcuma tism is a monster which all may juS-.v dread, and, indeed, il; is one of tho terror, of our civilisation. Whatever else rheumatism may be, it certainly is a blood disorder, and thero can bo but one way of reaching this disordor, which is through the organs -Inch mako and purify the blood. Thoro aro only two portals by which the circulation of tho system can be reached, and those two aro tho kidneys and liver. It is tho oflico of theso great organs to remove all poisonous matter from tho blood, and no latent rheumatic humour can bo eradicated except by treatment:hrough thekidneys and livor. Until recently it was believed rheu matism was incurable, ar.d the profession now generally send their patients to bed for aeix week.,' siego. With tho advent of Warners safe rheumatic euro, however, all this is changed Rheumatism can bo subdued, and permanently cured. This is no ex perimental compound, but ono which will do moro toward removing this dread ful disease than any other prepara tion which has ever boforo been prepared. It goes directly to tho blood of tho system ; driving from it all uric, lithic, lactic, and other acids, and freeing it from thoso poisonous elements that aro tho primary causes of rheumatism. It should be alternated with Warner's safe cure to obtain the quickest results. Messrs U.H. \Varn_r & Co., who are the pro prietors, guarantee to cure ninety live per cent, of all rheumatic troubles, especially acuto, if u=ed as directed, aud the standing of the firm is a sufficient guaranteo that thoy will carry it out to the letter. This medicine has tho emphatic endorsement, not only of tho many whom it has cured, but also of the hi.hest scientific and medical authorities. D. not suffer longer, but to day nrocure tais groat remedy and be cured, __________

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The following business was transacted after we went to press yesterday :—

The Mauku Disi'Ute.—Another deputa tion waited upon tho Board with regard to the boundary question of the Woßt Mauku School. A letter from Mr Crisp was read protesting against being put in the J'atu mahoe district. A letter of a similar nature was also read from Mr David Fullerton. Consideration of the matter was deferred for two weeks to allow Mr Goldie to be in attendance.

Reading Books.—Letters were received from the Parnell School Committee object ing to tho use of Globe Readera 1 and 2.— Mr Lennox said that there appeared wido- Bproad dissatisfaction at tbe Globe Readere. Mr T. Cooper said that when they adopted theso books thoy had dono so on tho recommendation of the schoolmasters. He should not liko to sot up his opinion against such gentlemen as Mr Worthington and Mr Harrison, but he must confess that he could not see tho use of cultivating the imaginative powers of tho children by giving thorn Grimm's fairy tales to learn, —Tho Chairman aaid that tho books were adopted aftor a consensus of opinion from head teachers, inspectors, and also Pro fessors Aldis and Tucker.—Mr Cooper gave notice of motion, " That the question of the suitability of the Globe Readers' be ro considered at tho next meeting of the Board."

Miscellaneous Business. — The Board docided to pay half cost towards painting school-houses at Lucas Creek and Wood side. An application for a school at Swan sou was deferred until next spring. Hau tapu and Mount Albert Schools Committees' application for toachors' dwellings were held over until funds were available. Ap plication for a school at Morrinsville, and grant for school at Newmarket School, were declined. It was decided to grant a new tank to the Ngaruawahia School, to call tenders for painting the school at Port Albert, to grant a half-time school at Puriri if a building was provided by the residents, to defer the question of fencing the school ground at Kotorua until Mr Allright had visited the district, and to inform the schools at Tairua snd Turua that the Board had no connection with them. It was resolved that the item of £4 10a set down as traveling allowance for Mr La Monte from Auckland to Waipu Central School bo not allowed, as the salary waß increased from £70 to £l„0. Tho tender of H. C. Mac, _C 8 15s, was ac cepted for tho painting of tho Puriri School, Seven to der.' wero received, the highest being £'-.(. Ss. Tho architect's estimate was £.2.
