A friendly act, which we appre-
ciate, was the receipt at the hands
of Hon. w. L. MelcheT of a bottle
of Col. 5. H. Melcher's Swedish
Lung Cure" which gave US the first
fair nights rest from coughing for
over a week. Truly La Grippe is a
merUiless tyrant.

"Mr Bob," at Victoria.

Saturday night, the Sequachee
Dramatic Club gave the 2-act come
dy, "Mr Bob at Victoria, to fair
audience. The prevailing distemPer
la Grippe, is supposed to have deter
red many from coming, otherwise
there would have been packed
house.
The program of the evening was
introduced by Mr., w. S. Pryor, who
explained that the Club was short
handed by the illness of Mr.. Charles
Curtis, consequently bis part would
have to be read He regretted that
such was the case but it was una
voldable.
Then followed the song of the
counsel and defendant from Trial by
Jury, arranged expressly for the oc-
caslon as a chorus with original
words.
Then came the farce, "Tgnorance is
Bliss" with w. S. Pryor as the Pro
fessor, and James Thornton and Ell
bert Rollins as pupils.
| Then "Mr. Bob" made his debut
IN Victoria. 1t goes without saying
that the parts were all we'll filled anC
it is to be regretted that tue illness o
Mr.. Curtis prevented him from filling
his customary role. His part wa
read by Mr.. Pryor, who did wei
considering that he was not supposed
to be acquainted with the part.
Patty, jenkins, Katharine anC
Aunt Becky succeeded In mystifyinl
} MIR. Brown, alias "Mr. Bob" ALA
Saunders" alias ''Mr. Brown, tn
architect" completely and every
, thing went off smoothly in regard t
the deception practi"ed on Philip b,
Katharine and Marion
6 The cast was the same as wke1
the play was presented here las
, Christmas, with the exception G
Miss Rebecca Luke's, which was yer
creditably filled by Miss Belle Fran

s Susan Jane," excited much enthus
asm, and the people left seemingI
f much pleased with the evenings Ell

1t is to be regretted that there wa
: not a larger crowd in attendanc,
When the Sequachee Dramatic Gu
puts anythings on the boards, it is e
ing to be good thing, or they woul
not present 1t. So we hope whe
the Club makes its appearance i
+ Victoria again, it will meet large
audience.

FrOz,.D Mutton.

The reason why Argentine mutton
generally is of inferior price to that Of
New Zealand has q threefold explana-
ton. In the first place, New Zealand
possesses today a mutton producing
breed superior to that grown in the
Plate. In the second, the New Zea-
lander feeds his stock during the winter
time with extra forage, while in the
Argentine the sheep are allowed to
Craze upon the same bare pa:npas during
the dead season. The result of this is
even, well grown carcass, while there
assent home from the Plate one upon
which hasty covering Of fat has been
put during the spring months of the
year. The difference between the two
carcasses will readily be noted by any
one who pays visit to the cattle mar
ket. Thirdly, the freezer in New Zea-
land freezes the mutton on account Of
the breeder. and in the Argentine the
freezer buys from the breeder. The dis
advantage of the latter system, so long
as the breeder has no knowledge of the
requirements Of the market, is appar.
ent. The New Zealand breeder selects
his wethers with care, rejecting any
which will give an inferior weight or
which is insufficiently fattened for the
butcher. He RENTS them in small
droves to the freezing establishments
and takes every care that they shall al
rive in perfect order. The Argentine
breeder, ON the other hand, makes u
contract with the representative Of the
freezer to sell given number, and the
latter binds himself to remove them
within q certain date. - New York

In London and on the continent discount
rates are comparatively low and in New
