James frost bailif in the city court

other things that he had taken up the
matter of overlooking and blanketing
horses with the team owners and in
most cases he found a disposition for
cooperation.
In regard to peddlers working their
horses on Sunday, he said, it was i'm
possible to prohibit all teaming work
s most of the peddlers have perisha bic
goods to unload which requires about
two hours work

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-

Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is err

and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its
normal condition. hearing will be de-

CONSULTATIONS OF MISSION
COUNTRIES.

After commenting on some of the
material discomforts encountered in
mission countries, writer in african
Missions" speaks of the fascination
of the land in which he labors.
Il must add" he says, that all
these sufferings have their compensa-
ton, sometimes ten-fold. In the ma
terial way of looking at it, if the
African life is hard in some ways,
it is seducing in many others.
'Those who have known the pure
sky of Africa, it's sparkling light-all
that it presents of the majestic and
the picturesque, can never get de-
tached from it. The high tablelands
of the interior are remarkable in fer
tility, in grandeur and even in salu-
brity, and recent explorers are unani-
nous in saying that there is not a
richer nor a more admirable country
under the sun. Regarded in spirit
ua1 light, the harvest, in Equatorial
Africa is particular, announces itself
very abundant for the preaching of
the Gospel"

BUILDING A CHURCH ON FAITH.

The missionary needs to possess a
vast amount of faith in Divine Provi-
dence-indeed this is often his only
stock in trade. If he were to wait
until he had accumulated a large
amount of capital before venturing
upon his numerous undertakings, he
would never advance far. Instead he
accepts the hazard, and is usually
rewarded in the end.
Father Paul of India, is evidently
one of these trusting laborers in the
mission field, as he writes: For a
long time it was my desire to erect
church, but l had almost no means.
Rely upon Cod said my Bishop, and
confiding in his words, l began the
church.
I'm this country, and no doubt it is
the same everywhere, if the master is
not on the spot, the work does not
progress rapidly. Consequently, apart
from the time required for my spirit
ual exercises, spend my entire day

A MISSIONARY TRIP IN NEW YEA
LAND.

From Otaki, New Zealand, we have
received this interesting letter, from
Father Cognet, S. NJ:
Il have just returned from a trip
among the tribes of South Island,
from Picton to Akaroa. Much might
be written about this picturesque re-
gion, and my journey of six hundred
miles. Today, however, I shall only
dwell upon the practical results of my
expedition.
cat Mangamaounnou found an edi'
flying flock of neophytes. On Sunday
almost all of them approached the
Holy Table during the Mass. 1t was
indeed a consoling spectacle.
From that village l went to Kai
toura, and then to Omihi, where
passed five delightful days and was
much impressed by the good DISPOSE
lions of the native converts. They
gave me so many evidences of their
affection for the missionary that
was deeply moved From Omihi
proceeded to Domett, and thence tC
Rangiora and Kaiapoi. After resting
a short time at Christchurch, set out
again.
MY destination being Wairewa
There I realized what an immense ad
vantage it would be to the people il
some young missionary could visit
them often. Our Maoris are intel
ligent and many of them speak Eng
lish almost as we'll as they chatter in
