Attending sarv iee, not very Jong ago, in an elegant church edifice, where they worsh ip God in a highly resthetic mann er, th e choir began that scriptral poem th11t compares Solomo n with the lilies of the fi eld, somewh at to the form er's disad vantage. Although never possessing a gre11t admirat ion for Solomon, still a pang of pity was left for him when the choir, after expressing unbound ed admiratio n for th e lilies of the fi eld, which it is doubtful if th ey ever observed v ery closely, began to tell tb e congregation, through the mouth of tho soprano, "that S olomo n in all his glory, was not arrayed." Stmightway the soprano was reinforced by the bass, who declared most solem nly and most emphatically that S olomon was not arrayed, was not arrnye d, was not arrayed. Then th e 'a lto ventured it as her opinion that Solomon was not arrayed, wben the tenor, witho ut a moment's hesitation, as if it had been officially announced, proclaimed that Then, when "he was not arriiyed." tho feel ings of tli e cougregatioo had been harrowed up sufficie nt ly, and all our sympath ies arou sed for poo r wives numero us Solomon, whose allowed him to go about in such a F o rest Conservation in New fashion ~ven in that climate, the choir, South Wales. altogether, in fo rmed ns t.l1at the idea I they intended to convey ,vas, that Solomon in all hi s glo ry was not A M OST IMPORTANT STEP, These arrayed " like one of these."

The German Elections.

They are over at last, th ose German election s, upon which the attention of all Europe has been directed for the last fortnight. Many and many a heartburning has been brought about by them, for seldom has party feelrng run so bigb in auy country as it bas on this occasion in Germany. The Socialists have come out with flowing colours, and so have the Radical s, w hile the Conservatives h ave hod th eir win gs badly singed, and the N ational Liberals bave los t ground al ' along the line. Our readers will doubtless be delighted to leurn that the Catholic r,arty has not only held its g round, but actually finds its roll- call enlarged . The number of votes r ecorded for and seats obtained by tve different parties is as follows : Catholics ..... .. 1,420,438 votes-112 seats. Socialists .... .. 1,341,587 votes- 37 seats. Radicals ...... 1,279,301 votes- 80 seats . N. Liberals ... 1,169,112 votes- 39 seat s. Conservatives ... 919,646 votes- 66 seats. Imperialists .. .. .457,938 votes- 20 seats. Poles .. ............ 245,852 votes- 16 seats . In 1887 the Catholic party polled 1,516,222 vutes, being 206,657 more than thi s year; but they obtained only 101 E<eats, again st 112 now secured.

OuR occasional correspondent at Northam will see by t his issue that an account of the Easter Festivities, at Northam, has not been forgotten by "our own."

According t o t he programme, which he has d signed, his stay will be further extended for another six mont hs, at t he least, and his journey is to embrace a wider range than was at first intended. He has suffered from an attack of fever, but it was not sufficiently severe in character to invalid him, and his many friends will be gratified to hear of his com plet e recovery and resumpti'.Jn of duty. THE news, lately received from the northem goldfields, gives ii glowinO' accollnt of t he richness of th new find o; the Ashb urton. It is supposed to be situat ed in the neighboui·hood of the Capricorn Range. On the Nyull>"Lgine the gold appears to have existed in a fairly small patch of ground, and few are successful, Beat on being t he only man doing well.

THE W. A. RECORD.

A GRAND military concert was glven on Thursday evening u nder the patron ::tge and in the pr esence of His Excellency the Administrator and Lady Fraser. Amongst those present were Sir J . G. Lee-Steere and Lady Steere, the Ron 0 . Burt, Maj or 0 Pilkino-ton, Major Philips, Capt. Mitchell, Capt. DeHamel, Lieut. Can1pbell and Lieut. Stone. 'l.'he sin 0-ing of the ladies, M S E C Sllentoll Ml·s Dyer' and M1'ss r ·. · was · ' m:nch' admired, · 'and Capt. · P arker, Crook's song was well received. Mr. Ritchio caused quite an outburst of genuine applause by his touching recitation of, The Last Shot.' A concerted piece for piano and cornet was well given by Miss Kelly and Mr. T. Bryan. II 0

common sense, g mded by a proper military spirit, of the Frem~ntle Volunt ee~·s has led ~hem to withdra w th e res1anat10n s wluch were t endered so h astily last week . T h e whole occurrence • j . ti t !orms so regret ta bl. e an ep1soc e 1_~ 1t would be a_far wiser and more ~han ,~tble c?u_rse to let the mattei srn k mto oblivion._ . If we und~rstand tho : as~ aright, 11 _ civil ian, b_ecouung a vohm .,eei and donnmg t h e umfol'!n,_ ceases to h ave complete co ntrol over lus move men t_s, and his personality becomes m erged rn his corps, there to abide by the decisions of his oJlicers and to obey t heir commancls. Ha\'ing this view in min d, it is easy t o u nd erstand th e action of th e noncornmissionerl officers a nd men of the Fremantle Rifles , who, actuated by esprit-de-corps felt compelled to foll ow '£ t l1ose w110 were m · 1111· t h e_ exarnp1e o_ m ediate auth onty ? 1·er th em. However painful the ,tdm1 ssion may b_o, _ the thought c:111not be escaped that 1t. 1s greatly to be regretted t lia,t wi ser counsels cEcl not prevail at firs~, and that the men could r.:.ot see their way to compet e, even if under protest . B ut now that the rimende honornble has bean made, we h ope that WP. have h eard th e last of t his unfortunate affair. · B Y a parody on the old saymg, we may b. 0 allowe cl to say,' "rhose w h om everyone 1n W . A. loves, leave us early." We could l'ecall many instances ve~·ifying t!1e above, but sufficient for the day 1s the evil thereof. We have but to mention the near departure of . Mr. and Mrs . Benni?n, to awaken a fcelino- of smcere regret m the breasts of all wl~o know them . It is some six years since Mr. Bennion, having th accepted the manag~ment of e Eqt'.itab_le Life surance Society, came to live m West I nAustralia. He has succeeded in workin 0o· up the busines_ s of the_ offi·~e an d placing it on a fi1rm b as1s, ancl 111 cl omg so has won t he confiden ce of his directors and the -oocl ,v1·11 of all ,m t h whom he has come ~ in c~ntact with . 'I'o•• mention his name in connection with sport, is simply to chronicle the successes gained by one of the most l)Opular individuals who ever donned the b adge of the Perth Y~cht Club. Al 1 other branch es of sport foun d a ready and ardent follower in Mr . Bennion, a nd to each in its season he gave a forgo measure of support. 'l'hough ~orry to lose _M~·Be11 Jll·on, we notice with pleasure that it 1s fol. his own advancement, so mnch so that we understand his income will lJe more than doubled in his new spl1ere of l1·r·e, where with Mrs. Bennion, we wish him m any 'years of prosperity and happiness. ,_

How Pills are Made. The custom of taking medicine in the form of pills dates far back in history. The object is to enable us to swallow easily in a condensed form disagr eeal>le an<l nauseoua but very useful , drugs. To wl>at Yast dimensions pill-takin g has grown may be imagined when we say that in England alo1111 about 2,U00,000,000 (two tbou sand million) pills are consumed e very year. In early days pills were made slowly by hitnd, as the demand was comparatively small. To-day they are produced with infini'tely g rea~er rapiG.ity by machines especially contriYed for the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the propor tions of the various ingredients employed. No form of medication can l>e better than a pill, provided on ly it is intelligently prepared. But nght here occurs the difficu lty Easy as it may seem to make a pill. or a million of them, there are real ly very few pills that can l>e hon~:;tly commended fur popular use. Most vf them eith er undershoot or overshoo t the mark. As everybody takes pills of some kind, it may be well to mention what a good, safe, and relial be pill should be. Now, when one feels dull and sleepy, and has more or less pain in the bead, sides, and back he may l>e sure his bowels are cos ti pated, ana bis Ii 1•er sluggish. To rnmedy this unh appy state if thin gs there is nothing like a good c:tthartic pill. It will act li ke a charm by stimulating the liver i □ to doing it~ duty, and ridd ing the digestiYe organs of the accumulated poisonous matter. But th e good pill does not gripe and pain us, oeither does it make us sick and miserable fo r a few hours a day. It acts on the entire glandula r system at the same time else the after-effects of the pill will l>e worse tban the disease itself. The griping caused by most pills is the result of irritating drugs which they contain. Such pills are harmful, and should never be used. They sometimes even produce llemorrhoids. Without having any particular desire to praise one pill abo1·e mother, we may, nevertl>elcss, name Mother Seigel's Pills, manufactured l>y the wellknown house of A. J. White, Limited 35 , Farringdon R0ad, London, anti now sold by all chemists and medicine vendors, as the only one we know of that actuall y possesses every desirable quality. They remove , the oressure upon the l>rain, correct the liver and cause the l>owels to act with ease and regularity. They never gripe or produce the slightest sickness of the stomach,t or any otller unpleasant feeling or sympso ms. Neither do they induce further coo tipation, as nearly all other pills do. As :1 further a nd crowning merit Mother Seigcl's Pills are covered with a tasteless aucl harmless cm1ting which causes them to resemble p earls, thus rendering them as pleasant to the rnl ate as they are effective in curing disease. If you have a severe cold aud arc th reatened with a fever with pains iu the head, back, aDd li mbs, on~ or two tloscs will break up the cold and pre\'CUt tbc feve r. A coated toug nc, with a brack ish taste in th e mout h, is caused by fou l matter in t he stomach. A dose of Seigel's P ills will e.1foct a speedy cure. Oftentimes partially decayed foo d in the stomach and bowels produce sickness, nausea, &c. Cleanse the bowels with a <lose of these pills, and good bealth will follow. Unlike mauy k inds of pills, they do not make you feel worse l>efore you are better They are, without doul>t, t he best family physic ever di scov ered .
