THE FEDERATION CONFERENCE.

(188 PRESS ASSOOIATIbu.J

Mblboubnk, January 31. Sir John Thurston, Governor of Fiji, one of the delegates to the Federation Conference, which opens next week, has intimated to Mr Gillies his inability to be present, The "Australasian" says:—" New Zealanders quickly found out the weakness underlying Mr Deakin's passionate phrases and are not troubled at the astonishing difference between his vroida and his acts. New Zealand co-operates with us in naval defence; she can co-operate with us in other matters but she has little reason to submit to a federal Government unless all the markets of Australia are freely thrown open to her products and manu factures. London, January 30 Sir C. Duffy in an article in the "Contemporary Review" urges Go vernment and the Opposition to induce Parliament to declare the federation of Australia of high importance to tbe interests of the Empire and invite the colonial Legislative Chambers to federate. If the Queen appointed Earls Rosebery and Carnarvon to carry such resolution to Australia and confer with delegates from colonial legislatures federation would at once be achieved. Sir O. Dilke, in his recently published book, thinks that Sir H. Parkes will find s difficulty in persuading the colonies to federate unless he adopts protection. It is probable that Australia will ultimately become a Dominion, with which New Zealand will be closely con nected. Dilke concurs with the action of Queensland in demanding a voice in the appointment of a Governor.

HUMOURS OF SUICIDES

A few weeks ago a nun who Intended to commit suicide and did it wrote a letter to Dr Youl, tbe coroner in Melbourne, in which he discussed the various methods of procuring voluntary exit; from this life affirming his preferenae for moiphia as an agent, and in order to save trouble sent a portion of the fatal dose of that drug which he intended to take to the coroner, Last week Dr Youl he'd an inquest on the body of a man named William James Btubbe, who committed suicide by shooting himself in a train on the Brighton Beach line. The evidence went to show that tne deceased was about 37 years of age, and unmarried. He was a carpenter by trade, and had lived at Windsor for some time past, In tne pocket) of hie clothes ' were found several letters, which showed clearly that he Intended to commit Buicide. Amongst them was the following, which vai addressed to the coroner :— "My Dear Doctor,—Whilst still In the flesh, and ere my soul takes its flight from that frail tenement of clay, the body, allow me, with all due respect to the Merlons fonotlons of your high and im portant office, to tender you my beaity congratulations on the busloessllke and consistent manner in which yon have for a '' considerable length of time performed the onerous duties of coroner to the olty of Melbourne.

HOW PILLS ARE MADnJ + 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 disagreeable and nauseous, but very use ful, drugs. To what vast dimensions pill taking has grown may be imagined, when we say that in England alone about 2,000,000,000 two thousand million) pills are consumed every ycr In early days pills were made ' slowly by hand, as the demand was compara tively small. To-day they are produced in infinitely greater rapidity by machines especi ally contrived for the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various ingredients employed. No form ot medication can be better than i. pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. But right here occurs the difficulty. Easy as it may seem to make a pill, or a million of them there are really very few pills that can be honestly commended for popular use. Most of them either urdershoot or overshoot the mark. As everybody takes pills of some kind, it may be well to mention what a good, safe, and reliable pill should be. Now, when onp feels dull and sleepy, and has more or less pain in the head, sides, and back, he may be sure his bowels are constipated, and his liver upgish. To remedy this unhappy state of things there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will act like a charm by stimulating the liver into doing its duty, and ridding the digestive organs of the accumulated poisonous matter. But the good pill does not gripe and pain us, neither does it make us sick and miserable for a few hours or a whole day. It acts on the entire glandular-system at the same time, else the after effects of the pill will be worse than 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 hemorrhoids. Without having any particular desire to praise one pill above another, we may, nevertheless, name Mother Seigel's Pills, manufactured by the well known house of A. J. White, Limited, 35 Farringdon Road, London, and now sold by all chemists and medicine vendors, as tbe only one we know of that actually posseses every desirable quality. They remove the pressure apon the brain, correct the liver, and cause the bowels to.act with ease and regularity. They never gripe or produce the slightest sickness of the stomach, or any other unpleasant feeling or symptom. Neither do they induce further onstipation, as nearly all other pills do. As further and crowning merit, Mother Seigel's Pills are covered with a tasteless and harmless coating, which causes them to resemble pearls, thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate as they are eflective in curing disease, If you have a severe cold and are threatened with a fever, with pains in the head, back and limbs, one or two doses will break up the cold and prevent the fever. A coated tongue, with a brackish taste in the mouth is caused by foul matter in the stomach. A dose of Seigel's Pilis will effect a speedy cure. Oftentimes partially decayed food in the stomach and bowels produces sickness, nausea, etc. Cleanse the bowels with a dose of these pills, and good health will follow, [ Unl>ke - many kinds of pills, they do not make you feel worse before you are better. They are, without doubt, the best family 1 physic ever discovered. They remove air obstruction to the natural functions in either 1 ex withoutany unpleasant effects.
