Two minutes' from Post-office. Y'OUR doctor will tell you that he knows of no cure but an operation. X Why ? Because he has formed his opinion from the inefficiency of the miserable contrivance known as trusses, which up to the present day have been one continual series of mechanical blunders and false aspuiutions of physiological principles. TTIXCELENT So far as distinguished medical authority is of weight in the decision of this question, we have the positive assertions of Brs. Lawrence Eiohter, Sir Astley Cooper, Dorsey, and others, that rupture Can be cured. Dr J has A. Sherman proved the truth of their assertion, and has not only demonstrated its curability by producing appliances that act in harmony with known physiological laws, but has added living testimony by restoring thousands to the blessing of a sound body. Private Board and Residence. One glance over our illustrated book of extreme cases, before trafcment and after cure, will satisfy the most incredulous, and demonstrate clearly the advancement of science in the treatment of this prevalent and dangerous malady, without surgical aid or restriction in diet or exercise. Scores of New Zealand testimonials from people who suffered for years is sufficient proof of the genuiness of Dr. Sharman's method, and if more evidence than this is demanded, you would not be convinced one though from the grave should arise and assert the fact.

THE WAIKATO INDEPENDENT, TUESDAY, MAY 9, 1905 NEW NEWS AND NOTES. Since the rc-opcning of the Eltliam bacon factory the company lias purchased 2000 pigs at an average price of £2 a head. "The plaintiff undertook to lay out such a lawn as people would stare at as they passed by," said the defendant in a claim at the Christchurch Magistrate's Court, on'Thursday, for gardening work done. And so he had," lie concluded, it's one beautiful mass of thistles, dandelions, and dock." One of the members of the Canterbury Board of education, says Truth, when the annual report was under consideration, called attention to a singular fact. He said I notice that more children travel by train now than used to be the case in the old days. Perhaps it is that mothers want to show that they have children, but the fact remains." Mr Hardy, M.H.E., is pessimistic in regard to the question of the shortage of children in North Canterbury. Speaking at the Canterbury Board of Education, he was emphatic in his opinion that there was a great decrease in children in that district. Mr Eight also agreed with Mr Hardy, as to the shortage, and characterised it as a great social and economical evil. In the course of an address at Eketahuna on Saturday last, Mr Kinsella, Government Dairy Commissioner, stated that he had been taken to task by certain northern newpapcrs for remarks he had made in the "Wairarapa concerning the dairy industry. These papers maintained that he was damaging New Zealand butter in the Homo market. Mr Kinsella denied that any statements made by him damaged produce with the buyers. The article made, if bad, damaged itself. _ Speaking at Eketahuna on Saturday night Mr Gilruth said that the country that carried us to the highest pitch of perfection was France, which was the only country that was self-supporting in agriculture. The importations from Germany, which were considerable a few years ago, had now practically ceased. They had professors of agriculture in every town. Every country schoolmaster had to pass an examination in agriculture, and had his little plot from which to instruct children in practical botany. The Government of France also gave them every assistance to sow their crops. While the scholars attending Fielding High School were out for the play hour last week, a lad about 14 years of age, named Robert Rink, was chasing other boys in fun with an open pocket-knife. Several, followed by the elder lad, dashed into the lobby leading from the playground. Another boy, W. Jones, between 10 and 11 years of age, blew a mouthful of water over the pursuer, who immediately caught the younger boy round the neck with his arm, and still holding the pocket knife in his right hand thrust into the other boy's back. The wound was about half an inch deep by a quarter of an inch long and about an inch and a half from the spine. Rink was brought before the Police Court and and private.

A GENT FOR We previously pointed out that the Old Age Pension system had its drawbacks, as it induced sons and daughters to shirk their responsibility to their parents by shunting their keep on to the State. Time was when sons and daughters deemed it an honor to support in old age their parents who had borne the heat and burden of the day, and parents relied on filial feeling to ensure their refuge and sustenance when their strength was spent. And to prevent unnatural children from shirking their duty somo Governments —our own included—passed laws to compel them to contribute to the support of aged indigent relatives. There was, moreover, a feeling of sturdy independence which caused people to abhor the idea of living on the charity of the State, and thus thrift and prudence were encouraged. The charitable system and the old age pensions have destroyed this independence, dried up the springs of private charity and caused many to abandon thrifty habits and cease to make provision for the future. The same thing is occurring in Australia. Before the Commonwealth Commission, Mr Fosbery, ex-InspectorGeneral of Police, instanced cases in which parents of children who were well able to support them demanded the pension as a right, and thought it more independent to draw their support from the State than from their children." Most certainly this spirit does not conduce to the making of a nation in which the best characteristics of human nature shall pre" dominate. the future playing this season. management of the Club were adopted, and will be submitted to the various branches for consideration. The usual weekly meeting of the Musical Society was held last evening, when there was a good attendance. The choruses in the operatic cantata "Phylis" at times went particularly well, showing that the members have got a good grasp of their parts. The soloists were also present and generally have a good grasp of their solos. The concert on the 24th May should prove an interesting affair. Tickets are now in circulation at 2s and Is. Only a limited number of 2s tickets arc being issued. Mr Low will have charge of the musical part of the cantata, and Mr T. Fawcett Howe will be stage director. Fuller's Empire Company appeared afc the Alexandra Hall on Saturday and Monday nights to fair audiences. The programmes, which were of the variety order, were greatly appreciated by those present, encores following almost every item given. Mr John Fuller's singing was the chief feature of the evening, his musical tenor voice being heard to great advantage. Mr Fred Anderson's comic contributions were responsible for much mirth, while Miss Johnston, who is gifted with a rich soprano, quite took the audience by storm. Messrs Chas. Moody, Leslie Forrest, Carl Collier, Pete Miller, and Misses Akarman and Johnson were all good in their various parts. The following is an extract from the Maori newspaper, published in this district fourteen years ago:—"A pakeha company was formed to buy all the Maori lands, the Maori being ignorant, sold great tracks of land for mere pots, pipes and blankets. It was then that the Maoris desired Europeans to live amongst them, and to be their friends; but the Europeans being so eager to let the Maoris have their goods, so that they may grasp the lands of the Maoris to pay for their goods. This work of the Europeans caused a bad feeling to spring up between the Europeans and Maoris, and brought them to arms against one another." We have before us the fifth issue of the Maori newspaper Te Paid o Matariki, or the Seven Stars, published at Maungakawa, Cambridge, on June 20th, 1902. The last copy appeared on October 6fch, 1902, and then the Seven Stars passed out of existence, and we trust in a heavenly direction. The type, even for the first issue, was apparently very old, and not much of it, as all sorts of makeshifts were resorted to in order to get out the small four-paged sheet. The printing of the paper was poor, and the reading shocking. The imprint bears the name of King Tawhiao as printer and publisher. The best thing in Te Paid o Matariki is its original coat of arms, representing two Maori gods supporting a cross, resting on a heart, above which is six small stars and a large one.

CAMBRIDGE WEST, The first cup match of the season was played on Saturday last, and considering the fine weather it was expected a much larger crowd of football enthusiasts would have been on the ground. Public support is the chief support; so it is hoped that next Saturday the crowd will be double that of last Saturday. The game on Saturday was good considering it was the first real go; the players lasted very well. In the first half the game stood 8 all, and for some time in the second spell it looked as if it was going to be a drawn game,but the weight and condition of the West men told, and when time was called West was 5 points ahead. Total, West 14, City 9. For the winners Newcomb, R. Crickett, J. Tucker, Driver, and Joseph Montgomery played really well For City Jim Stewart,' J.

THE TRANSVAAL TEE NEW CONSTITUTION [by electric telegraph—copyright.] (PER PRESS ASSOCIATION (Received May 9, 12.80 a.m.) Capetown, May 8. Mr Harry Solomon, a leading Johannesburg politician, addressing a meeting at Johannesburg, urged loyalty under the new regime. He suggested progressive responsible Government and that both parties discuss the Constitution amicably to facilitate the granting of responsible Government. He added that the attitude of the Liberals in England was merely a matter of party politics. The Transvaal would not accept any Constitution not allowing them full control of the natives. The responsible Government party in the Transvaal issued a manifesto in reply to the Hon. Mr Lyttelfcon, declaring dissatisfaction exists over the new Constitu tion, and stating that those who promised a war constitution had no mandate. The question ought to havebeen left to a fully responsible elective assembly. London, May 8. The Times' Capetown correspondent describes the manifesto as an attempt to save the face of the leaders and play a game for their Eadical friends in England.

When the lists finally closed it was expected that the total would be fully equal to that of the previous year. WAIKATO HUNT CLUB. The Waikato Hunt Club opeired the Saturday afternoon, the meet being at the Hautapu schoolhouse. The day was a trifle warm for hunting, but nevertheless the attendance of huntsmen and spectators was large and the afternoon's sport was most interesting and season on enjoyable. The hounds in good condition, but it is expected they will show further improvement after another chase or two. They were thrown off at the rear of the Master's (Mr Norman Banks) homestead, and after a good run of three or four miles, they got a fine kill in the open. The hounds were rewarded with a couple of other kills during the afternoon, runs being made through Gwynnelands," Messrs Hooker's, Karl's and Forrest's farms. Mr N. Banks (master) was in charge of the field, and his knowledge and experience assisted greatly in the management of the hunt.

On the motion of Mr LOST " &S A GENUINE5 SALE, " Swayne,sccondcd by Mr Newell, Mr Martin Butler was re- elected chairman of the Board.—Mr Butler thanked the members for their continued confidence in him, and said he thought the Board had done good work during the past year, and he believed had expended their money as economically as was possibe commensurate with having good roads. They had put over 4000 yards of gravel on the roads and had also re-formed a considerable number of them, and he felt that if they could continue as well during the coming year they would have their roads in very fair order. He meant to have retired from the Board, for one generally got more kicks than half-pence for what one did, but as the members wished him to continue to act, he would consent to do so for another year. He trusted they would work together as harmoniously as they had done in the past. He then welcomed Mr Swayne to the Board, saying he felt sure their new member would prove a useful one. Mr Swayne briefly thanked the chairman for his remarks, and stated he should use his best endeavours to work for the good of the ratepayers at large. The chairman said they would have to prepare to strike their annual rate, but as they had not yet received a copy of the Valuation Roll, it was decided to defer the matter until next meeting. The chairman said they would probably find their valuations raised about 25 per cent., and it was for them to consider if they should continue the rate or go back to the one. Of one thing he felt convincd; namely, that they must have as much revenue as they had this year. They were in a sound 'financial position for the money yet to come in for rates, subsidy and the balance of the Government vote for the Fencourt roads, which latter had been expended, would _ extinguish the overdraft, pay all liabilities to date, and leave a small credit balance.

Some time ago a gentleman of Hull, on the death of his wife, became entitled to an annuity of £BOO so long as lfc remained a widower; on rc-marrfage the money was to go to his children by the deceased wife. In process of time widower got into financial difficulties, and it was proposed to attach the bequest in the interests of his creditors. There was one way, however, to save the situation, and, acting on it, the widower made a journey to London, induced an old lady—a pauper of eightyseven—to marry him, and after providing for the remaining days of his ancient bride, he returned to Hull, having thus secured the £BOO a year to his children, and placed it beyond the reach of his creditors. A short time ago a Signor Tasino, of Naples, offered his hand and fortune to the lady who could best demonstrate her skill as a cooker of macaroni, his favorite delicacy. One hundred and twenty failcandidates competed, and the signor not only led the woman to the altar, but gave her a wedding present of £IOO. Many a wedding has been arranged in a pure spirit of frolic, as in the case of a Mr Do Mcrritt and Miss Hamilton. The bride and bridegroom, with two friends, had been witnessing a ball game at Ashton, and when driving home it was proposed as a jest that the two should get married. After much fun-making," the recorder of the adventure says, the nair acted upon the suggestion, and called upon Mr Curry, the town clerk, at Holderness. Curry is a Mr justice of the peace, and before the ink was dry upon the license the couple had entered the bonds of wedlock. On the return of the party to the hotel the matter was discussed, and it developed that they had been legally married.

" EDWARDS' " The Honorable Dick Maitland was crawling his hansom cab slowly and reflectively along Eaton Square one idyllic Spring afternoon, the smart little horse pulling rather impatiently at the tightened reins, and the deep red roses in his ears nodding briskly at every jerk of his impatient head. Dick had half an eye (they were lazy, deeply blue ones) on the watch for a passing fare, and occasionally both were employed in a half-cynical stare at the lovely occupants of the smart carriages rolling Parkwards. On two occasions, however, when he saw certain liveries bearing down upon him, he turned his head right away, and apparently found an absorbing interest in an empty flight of area-steps ; for even after eighteen months and the fact that he had shaved his moustache, he was still afraid of being recognised. Was it really only eighteen months ago, he wandered dully, since he had last struggled with a dress-tie, and gone to that memorable ball, at which a woman's No had literally sent him to the devil where he had stayed with reckless indifference ever since The woman's conduct was utterly inexcusable, but Dick's subsequently was " " " " '? even more so. Shall I, wasting in despair. Die because a woman's fair should have been his motto; but, though he did not get into a rapid decline over his faithless love, he wasted like a fool most of his fortune instead, which was saying, a good deal, for the Honorable Dick had once been a very eligible parti. In brief, he left the ballroom and Society for ever, and choosing Monte '? Carlo, via Paris, as the best place for doing what he wanted, disappeared entirely from his particular human ken. His disappearance, naturally, was a nine clays' wonder; but though the tongues wagged busily for that period, and one or two of the wisest skirted the truth by remarking that there was probably some woman in it, no one hit the mark itself, and the pale looks of a certain Miss Viola Carew completely escaped observation. Finally, having dropped out of sight he presently dropped out of mind—with one conspicuous exception; and when, after six months, he returned to London, with his object accomplished, and £6O remaining in his pocket, he found that he was practically forgotten, and was free to gang his own gait where or how he pleased, with very little risk of detection. Thus did Society cast him off, and, fortunately for him, Dick cared not a whit, " " " " Current Rates. Cambridge ... ... Rotorua ... Ngaruawahiaaud Huntly ... GEO. N. PIERCE, Manager. H.
