WONG AND BUN TUCK.

The Right Hon. Richard Seddon, pre-
mier OF New Zealand, will be known for
ever and a day as Bun Tuck, the Eng
lish partner I'm mining syndicate OF
the days of long ago. Mr.. George
Hutchinson, the eirrepressible member for
Patea, some two months back an
noupced that Mr.. Seddon had once
gone whacks' with two Celestials In
gold claim. The premier vigorously
denounced the base insinuation, conse-
quently Mr.. Hutchinson threatened 10
produce a duly signed statement made
by one OF the premier's Chinese part
ners. He did so, and read Ii in the
house. Here IL is:
Listen 20 me: Wong Shung Wal
and Tsai Chung (Which is this narratoD
were gold pickers at Knapper's Gully
on the Six Mile Run. He who rules
the Government came to our camp one
night. We had heard of him before,
and we were alarmed. He had To be
with everything at the place called
Stafford Town. His name among the
English was Dick Seddon. After we
had eaten rice he had much talk with
Wong, who was very learned in all Ian
guages. He could talk in the language
of the country as much as the Man
DARN Seldom. Then they did some
writing. and this narrator also put
names TO the end of the writing. When
the Mandarin had gone Wong told TINS
narrator that we were now brothers III
the claim but that our brother was not
to be talked of. Wong said that Sed-
don would be known as Bun Tuck. He
said our brother was powerful before
the warden as an advocate. and some
times went TO the place OF government
and was feared there for his great talk
Wong was also a person OF much Talk,
but our people did not always listen 10
him He said Bun Tuck was very clev-
er. but not clever enough. We mao
plenty Of provisions then. and we had
much JOY, and our perspiration ran
very free. One day Wong went away,
because the constable was looking for
him. He only left a message To say
that he had been like a rat dragging
shovel, and that our claim was sold 10
a number of white devils and that
had better leave the place quietly, But
this narrator was very poor. l had en-
tered my coffin. as they say in China,
and been buried. so / went TO Bun
Tuck. But he raised the wrath matter
and told me i was descended from stu
pid people. He said moreover, Wong
Shung Wal had got the best of the
squeeze. Nevertheless, he gave me ~
taels. This narrator then went far away.
went to China but have since re-
turned. Bun Tuck is much changed
since then, but know him when | see
him. Declared by Tsai Chung as true
history. and signed by him."
OF course Mr.. Seddon was furious
and demanded the withdrawal of what
he said was nothing but skit. The
member for Patea declared solemnly
that the statement was actual fact
and that he would not withdraw 1t, sd

INSECTS HOoD0O A COUNTRY.

Nothing could more strillingly illus
trate the importance ~ small things
than the large role which Is now attrib-
uted 10 the mosquito In the etiology of
some of the most serious and wide
spread diseases to which the human
race Is subject. II IL truly said that
what prevents the successful COLOMBIA
ton OF many tropical countries, ana
what throws the greatest obstacle In
the way OF civiliZatior'0f and good gov
ernment in vast regions OF Central Al
rica, Is not climate not distance from
home. and not unfriendliness on the
part Of the natives The obstacle is ma
laria, and now we find that the preVa-
lence of malaria, SO far as man is con-
cerned, depends on the mosquito. ana
that this pestilent little insect. I'm addi-
ton To irritating and annoying. is the
means by which the poison OF malaria
is propagated and distributed.
For years back botanists have known
the important part played by birds IN
the scattering of seed, and OF insects
I'm the distribution of the pollen of
plants. and IL seems not unlikely that
pathologists will have TO recognize In a
much larger degree than has till lately
been done the large part taken by the
subordinate forms of life by which we
are surrounded-our cattle. our horses,
our dogs and cats our flies, our mos
quitos, and perhaps even our fieas~in
distributing disease from man To man,
and as is stated in regard To the mos
quito and malaria, i'm deciding whether
the extension OF our empire over great
areas OF the globes surface shall be
possible or not.-The Hospital.
