We clip the following from the " Tara- 1 nakl Herald " :— lnstances of canine j \u25a0agaclty have ofn-n been chronicled m the f Preen, but there have always betn \u25a0oeptlcs bb to the gennlnerißß of them. One of these ecsptics— Me Newland, of the Frankley Road, haa been compellod to admit, through the action of a ollie tbat he owes, that the Intelligence of the dog is Bonietir.es wonderful. On Saturday, February 25, ha waa confined to bin bed with a Bovere illness, and being la the houeo all alone, and the nearest neighbor being over half a mile distant, ho was pat somewhat In a fix. ThU oolile do? which was about the home, n?p?atedly oamu into the room where be lav, d(epl»yi '\u25a0«, each timo a feeling of unrest, aa if he understood that tbere w*s something amiss with hio master. At aboin 9 o'chek one wight, the dog turned op at a nci^hbrr's hoaae, •bout three quarters tf a mile away, and wont on In snch a wsy as to attract th« attention of the oetcltr. He wae offered food, bat refused it, and made unmistakable signs that he wanted to w back, but m somtone'e c impany. The \u25a0ottler decided to go with the dog. wh • made evident Bl^na of satisfaction at bio reßolv.i, and conducted htm io hia maeter'B bouse, whtru iheßeuler was abe to do many thiigs f»r the comfort ot Mi Rowland, w•" «- •'• v»y v » << '• «Wd.

In a paropblet issued by " Cummissioner " I Railton, of the Salva'ion Army, relative to the Advance of the organisation m 1887, it ia stated that the etrengih of the Army in creased by more than one-third of the num ber enrolled at the beginning of the year, the additions being 476 cojps, and 1492 officers. It is also claimed thai the forward steps daring the 12 months have been much more Striking and important than those of any previous year m its history. On one week, night last November there were 16,746 persons assembled m tb' London barrac.KS, as against 11.000 recently mentioned by the Bishop of London as the weik night a f| en dance at the Anglican churches of the motro.

" "It was Atlas, ma'am." •• And who supported Atlas ? " •' The bonk doesn't say, but I guess his wife supported him." The Marlborough Meat Preserving Co. have conoluded a contraafc with Mr G. A.

One or two of Dr Hay. dook's New Liver Pills suffices to place tho stomach In perfect order oreatea an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant.

For example, Npivous Dy^pppsia is a com- paTatively new Hi -ease, gio*ing out of he conditions if m Hetn life. It is a joint affec- tion of the <iiue tive organs and cf the nervous system. These two were loruit-rly Seated as separate uilmen'sj-a d it uas l«ltfo thee'ear- s-ghted thinkers to prove that th" b ms of this teniblea 1 d o:te.~p fatal complication lies chit fly m the dis rdered and deprave i functions ol dig< Uion and nutrition. T ey reasrnedthus ; "It we can induce the somnht • do its wo k, and stimu'atc the excretive organs lo drive out of the body the/ poison us wa te >t attei which remans after the life-giving elements of the food have been absor' cd, we shall h.-vve conquered Nervous Dyspei sia and iS'crvous Exhaustion." And they were right. Know- ing the infallible power of Scud's Syrup m less complicated though similar dis ases, they resolved to test it fully, m this. To leave > o groun<l for doubt, tt ey pres n bed the temedy m hundieds of cases which had b-ett JVro- nouneed incurable— with perfect rucc ss* m every instance where their directions as to living and diet were scrupuloi sly loliowed. Nervous Dyspepsia and. Exhaustion may almost be called a peculiarly English disea c. To a greater or less extent half the people < f this country suHer f«o.n it— both sexe3 and ali ages. In no ccuniry m the world are there so many insane asylums filled to ov rflowing, all resulting from this alarming disease. Its. leading j-ymptoms are these ; frequent or con- tinual headache ; a dull pain at the base of the brain ; ted breath; nauseous aructations; the rising of sour and pungent fluid, to the throat ; a sense of opp essu>« and faintness at the pit of the stomach* flatu'ence ; wakeful, ness and lo^.-- of seep ;. disgust with foo . 'evei. when weak from the. need of it ; sticky and slimy mater on the teeih or m the mouth, especially on rising m the morning ; furred and c ated tongue; rull eyts ; cold h.n 5 and feet; constipation; diy or roujih skir \u0084 inability to fix the mind on any lahor o * calling continuous attention; and oppres and sad fore o i«gs and fear.

Tbe best medicine known is SANDER and SONS' EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. Test its eminent powerful effects m coughs, colds, influenza, etc — the relief is instantaneous. Thousands give tbe roost gratifying testimony. His Majesty tbe King of Italy, and medioal syndicates all over the globe, are its patrons. Bead tbe official reports that accompany each bottle. We have no occasion to oiler rewards m proof of tho genuineness of our references. Tbe official reports of medical clinic? and universities, tbe official communication of tbe Consul-General for I aly at Melbourne; tbe diploma awarded In'erna ional Exhibition, Amsterdam— all these are nuthentio docu- ments, and, as Fuch, not open to doubt. We add here epitome of one of tho various cases treated by Si< gen, M.D., Professor, etc .: j Burning of the right; hand through the ex- plosion of a small oil stove. The epidermis ' on the volar and palmer side of the hand dr th 6 thirty-year-old patient was completely separated and lifted up as far an the joint of tbe band. The likewise lif ed nuils were hanging lonne. and h»ilf of the phalanx of iho nail of the middle finger was c aled. The wounds thus con racted bea ed m three weeks nnder daily applications of Eucalypiic Extract dressing. Tbe patient has retained the full DBB of her hand.— (Advt.) 1
