well-intentioned teachers and friends.
When she received doll for a birthday

the papa" which followed the twitch-

when the little mother discovered that
her child bad inherited her own mfr

A Bush Fire in New Zealand.

A Dunedin correspondent of the Mel
bourne Argus says: Two years ago
many of the settlers in the Seventy
mile Bush which is situated IN Hawkes.
Bay, stretching away to the border of
Wellington, suffered great loss from fire.
Again fire has swept down upon a set
Element and ruined settlers who have
been working hard to make homes for
themselves and families in the bush.
The township of Norsewood is one Of
those founded by a number of Scandi
navians, who have, on the whole, made
excellent settlers. The dry weather
parched up everything, SO that when
furious gale sprang up on the 10Th inst.
and carr ed some sparks from a clearing
some distance away, the fire so started
burned with terrible fury. 1t swept
along the forest, spreading as it Travelled,
and soon reached the settlement of the
Scandinavians. There were very few
men at home at the time, but even if
there had been more it is doubtful the
place could have been saved. By dint
of great efforts few places were saved
by wet blankets; but the Lutheran
Church Ca fine building), the Wesleyan
Church, public school house, library,
temperance hall, half dozen stores,
dozen dwelling houses, barns, fences,
etc., were destroyed. The fire speedily
threatened the neighboring villages of
Ormondville, Ashley, Clinton and other
places, where one or two houses were
burned and fences, bridges and culverts
destroyed. Just as the fire appeared to
threaten inevitable destruction to many
homes, one of the most awful thunder
storms ever experienced in the colony
came on, and with a tremendous down
pour of rain, which completely ex-
tinguished the fire. Of course a large
number of poor people were ruined, the
few days.

Wonderful Familiarity.

The fact that the sale of Or. Pierce's Pleas
ant Purgative Pellets exceeds that of any
other pill in the market, be it great or
small, is on account of the fact that they
are tiny, little, sugar-coated granules, and
that in most cases one little " Pellet" is
sufficient for a dose; that they are purely
vegetable and perfectly harmless; and for
constipation, biliousness, sick headache,
and all diseases arising from arrangement
of the liver, stomach or bowels, they are
