A GOVERNOR'S FATHER

, The obituary writers (aays the " Scots man,") will probably pass without notice the death which occurred on Monday morning, 13th Janaary, from a painful and incurable disease, of an humble Aber cteenshire peasant, to wit, John McGregor, which took place at a farmhouse over looking tho village of Kincardine O'Neil. Yet this man was the father of Sir William Macgregor, the proeent Governor of British New Guinea. A shrewd hard headed old Scot he was, who had passed Ills life In the severest physical toil, but one who, in spita of &n uphill frattle for bread, struggled tooth and nail ie give his son a " college education," That boy, the type of the poor bat olsver youths ibat annually entor at Aberdeen University, more than requited his fond lathei's aelf-eftorlfioe. Qaallfylng foe the

Otcdloftl service, he went to Fiji daring the time of Sir Arthur Gordon's admlnli irtitfoa, and having attracted tho notice of thtt eiptble administrator, was pro moted to fill • variety ot posts, ultimately beoomlng Bsoe(rez-6ener»l.

ENGLAND THE RICHEST PATCH ON EARTH

A gieat statistical authority, MrGlffen, htfl ]QBt been computing the national wealth of Great Britain, Here ia a sum mitry unpplled by a Londen journal;—ln 1885, the latest year for which full returns could be obtained, this kingdomposaeaeed About 10,000,000 millions, Of this un tmrrelleled wealth England and Wales had £617 millions, Scotland 973 millions, and Ireland 447 million*. In other words England and Walea had 86 pet cent of the whole, Scotland 9*7 par cent, and Ireland 43 per osnt. If on* national wealth wera eqntlly divided, par head of the population, every Xogllibman and Welshman would poßsean £308, every Scotchman £243, and even Irdhman £93. Taking the average for the United Kingdom, each of as would bava £270. In Franca the average Is £190, and In the United States £160. The total wealth of the United States la 8000 millions and of France 7200 mlllfonrj An the population of the States Is considerably larger than the population of France, the United States' average per bead Is lots than the Ff#aoh averags, although the total wealth of the United States exceeds that of F/anes. We are stil', It appears, the wealthiest country in the world. What a responsibility, and how little we realise It!

OUTDOOR LIFE AND LONGEVITY

Among the centenarians of all nations and all times, says Dr Felix L. Oswald, a signifi cant plurality were either rustics or city dwellers addicted to outdoGr pursuits. Centen arians are. remarkably frequent among the bailiff'ridden boors of Southern Russia, and the five oldest persons of modern times were care worn if not abjectly poor villagers. Peter Czartan, who died in a hamlet near Belgrade, 1724, in his ISSA ysar; the Russian beggar Kamartzik, a native of Polotzk, who reached an age of 163 years, and died in ponsequence of an accident; the fisherman Jenkins, who, in spite of life-long penury, lived at least a century and a half (the estimate of his neigh bours varying from 158 to 169 years); the negress Truxo, fwho died in slavery on the plantation of a Tucuman physician, in her 175 th year; and the day labourer, Thomas Parr, who attained the pretty well authenticated age of 152 years, and who died a few weeks after his removal from country air and indigence to comfort and city quarters.

AN AMERICAN RIP VAN WINKLE

In the sleepy little village of Utica, gfx miles from St Charles, Minnesota, lives Herman Harms, who has been fleeping soundly most of the time for the last twelve years. People are familiar with the story all up and down the valleys Thousands of people have been to visit the man. Doctors have gone long distances to see him. What the secret of his long sleep is, no one has been able to discover. The story is not * legend, neither is the sleeper a myth. He is sleeping still. The doctors say that he may live and sleep 20 years to come. Harms is a German about 51 fears old. Twelve years ago he was seized with fever and ague. He had long spells .of fevered sleep for four yeaxc Then the mysterious Spell seemed to leave him, and for three jears he was almost a well man. On 12th May, 1884, Harms ate his morn ing meal as usual. Suddenly he felt itupor coming over him. He put down ihe cup that he held in his hand, rose and cast himself heavily pgoii the bed. Atmost oefore he tovchedthe bed he was Mleep, For |bree yearp he glambered,

He did not even dream. He lived, but it waß a living death. Many remedies were tried, but they did no good. The strangest thing about this mysterious man is that in this period of three years Harms woke every night of his own accord about twelve o'clock, rose famished, ate his supper, and went back to bed. Once every day he emerged from oblivion and talked with his friends, entered for a few moments into the old family life and then slipped away again. At the end of three years he again rose from his bod, but his limbs had grown weak from long disuse. He was able to totter about the house in a feeble way, in constant fear that sleep would again overtake him.

For a fevr days he walked out in the sunlight. For a few months he kept awake. Then he felt the stupor come upon him. His eyes grew heavy, his limbs leaden, and he sank down under the weight of sleep. This time he has been asleep for nearly two years, but he does not awake in the way he formerly did. He cannot rise in bed, and it is plain that he is gradually sinking. Now ho wakos only when he is awakened. It has been suggested that he is in a hypnotic condition ; that while his body sleeps his mind is living another life.

RAILWAY REFORM

11 I started out In 1882," soya Me Valle, " with these two main propositions. First differential rating must be abolished; seaond, mileage rating must also be abolished and a stage system substituted. How the railway men shouted. It was loudly asserted that to do these things It was Impossible, and ona of our Com mlssloners asked: "It It poialblo that the whole railway world csn bo wrong and Mr Valle alone ritbt?" {But whit has happened? la 1887 the United States of America absolutely abolished differ ential rating. In 1888 Great Britaio aho aboliehed differential rating. In 1886 the French Chamber of Deputies pronounced against it after a fourteen days' debate. In 1889 Ihe Hungarian Government abolished mileage rating, and substituted a stage system. Thus it will be seen that thoße great countries have by legislative aotion, supported my two mala contentions, the 'railway world' notwithstanding. Why did not we lead the world In this great matter ? Simply because the proposition arose In New Zealand."

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 *. 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 undershoot or overshoot the 1 mark. As everybody takes pills of Borne kind, it may be well to mention what a good, safe, and reliable pill should be. Now, when onf 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 uegish, 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 digescive organs of the accumulated poisonous mat .

TEW MONTHS'SUITERING IN A HOSPITAL



There is an old saying that physicians are a class of men who pour drugs, of which they know little, into bodies of which they know less. This is both true and untrue at the same time. There are good and poor lawyers, and good and poor doctors. • The trouble with these medical gentlemen as a profession is that they are clannish, and apt to be conceited. They don't like to be beaten at their own tra deby outsiders who have never studied medicine. They therefore pay, by their fre quent failures, the penalty of refusing instruc tion unless the teacher bears there own " Hill Mark"



An eminent physician—Dr Brown-Sequard, of Paris—states the fact accurately when he says : "The medical profession are so bound up in their self-confidence and conceit that they allow the diamond truths of science to be picked up by persons entirely outside their ranks." We give a most interesting incident, which illustrates this important truth.



The steamship " Concordia," of the Dona dson Line, sailed from Clasgow for Baltimore in 1887, having on board as a fire man a man named Richard Wade, of Glasgow. He had been a fireman for fourteen years on various ships sailing to America, China, and India. He had born the hard and exhausting abor, and had been healthy and strong. On the trip we now name he began for the first time to feel weak and ill. His appetite failed, and he suffered from drowsiness, heart burn, a bad taste in the mouth, and costiveness and irregularity of the bowels. Sometimes when at woikhe had attacks of giddiness, but supposed it to be caused by the heat of the fire room. Quite often he , was sick and felt like yomiting, and had some pain in the head. Later during the passage he grow worse, and when the ship reached Halifax he was placed in the Victoria General Hospital, and the ship sailed away without him. The house surgeon gaye him some powders to stop the vomiting, and the next day the visiting physician gave him a mixture to take every four hours. Within two days Wade was so much worse that the doctors stopped both the powders and the mixture, A month passed the poor fireman getting worse and worse. Then came another doctor, who was to be visijting physician for the next five monthst He gave other medicines, but not much relief. Nearly all that time Wade suffered great torture ; he digested nothing, throwing up all he ate. There was terrible pain in the bowels, burning heat in the throat, heartburn, and racking headache. The patient was now taking a mixture every four hours, powders, one after each meal to digest the food, operat ing pills one every night, and temperature pills two each night to stop the cold sweats. If drugs could cure him at all, Rcihard had an idea that he took enough to do it, But on the other hand pleurisy set in and the doctor, took ninety ounces of matter from his right sides I and then told him he was sure to die. Five i months more rolled by, and there was another j change of visitiDg physicians. The new one gave Wade a mixture which he said made hint tremble like a leaf on a tree.



At this crisis Wade's Scotch blood asserted itself. He refused to stand any more dosing, and toJd the doctors that if he must die he could die as well without them as with them. By tbis time a cup of milk would turn sour on his stomach, and lie there for days. Our friend from Glasgow was like a wreck on a shoal, fast going to pieces. We will let him tell the rest of his experience in the words in which he commuuicated it to the press. He says: " When I was in this state a lady whom I had never seen came to the hospital and talked with me. She proved to be an aiigel of mercy, for without her I should not now be aliveS She told me of a medicine called'Mother'Seigel's Curative Syrup,' and brought me a bottle next day. I started with it, without consulting the doctors, and in only a few days' time I was out of bed calling for bam (md eggs for breakfast. From that time, keeping on with Mother Seigel's great remedy, I got well fast, and was soon able to leave the hospital and come home to Glasgow. I now feel as jf I was in another world, and have no illness of any kind," ' The above facts are calmly and impartially stated, and the reader may draw his own conclusion; We deem it best to vise no names although Mr Wade gave them in jiis Original deposition. His address is No.' 244, Stob ross street, Gslagow, where letters will reach him, ' ' 3
