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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

:
CITY v. 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,

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.
Edward Bcgloy, aged fiffcy-one, a laborer, was charged, on his own confes,
sion, at Marylebono last month, with
being a deserter from H.M.S. Sphinx
He said that he deserted at Plymouth on
September 21, 1874. He was remanded
in order that the) Admiralty might be
communicated with.

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

Another remarkable way to the alter
was disclosed by a recent marriage
in
Loadon. 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

"
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,
