At this juncture I called on Messrs Sander and Sons, procuring some of their Estraot of the Eucalyptus Globulus, and by the application of the same I had the satisfaction of seeing y son within a fortnight out of all danger, nd to-day he is reoovered. I may just add that it was when the crisis had been reached that the Extract referred to was first applied. And I make this solemn declaration, etc. — Fbanz Eaabe.

The ladies screamed again cud lifted their dresses to what on any other occasion woaM ha termed an " inappropriate height." The pig nestled iu under their dresses. The ladies screamed louder. One tried to bit him with a stamp, another had the proaenca of mind to hit him with a parasol, but none of ths ladi*B ran. A crowd of men boy 3 a<d dugs were attracted tj the epot, the mou and boy* by the screams, the doga by the pig. The doga ran in and barked at the pig.
