Russia and Bulgaria.

Sofia, October 18 The newspaper Svoboda says that Eussk demands the abdication of Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, the | baptism of his infant son Boris in the orthodox Greek faith, and the appoint ment of a Regency during his minority, to consist of the Uussian Minister for War and a Bulgarian. The p*per «tates thai Prince Ferdinand accept the terms.

Prince Ferdinand has cot accepted fche Russian demand, although it is believed he is quite willing.

Mr T. Kirk, F.Tj.S., President of bhe Wellington Philosophical Society, exhi bited at a meeting of the Society this week tome specimens of the mako-naako, better known as the wineberry. He thought these might become a profitable source of tneonw They could, he suggested, be ex ported to France, where large quantities of a similar plant, called the Aristotelia macqiwi, were imported from Chili and mod in colouring wines. The roako-mako lie believed, was even better suited for this purpose than the Chilian plant, and as there would be no difficulty in collect- Ing tonß of it in New Zealand, sottlers might add to their incomes by exporting it.

The Sydney Bvlletin of October 5 thus paints red the Bank of Australasia. It saye the Bank cables a few particulars of another depressing balance sheet —one that is even more depressing than the last. The net profit for the half-year Is £40 854, against £45,734 laafc half-year, £48.570 for the half ended April, 1894, and £60,606 for the one ended October, 1893. A 5 per cent. div. swallows £40,000, so there is only £854 to carry forward. The Australasia's div. naa been falling away from bhe old, gorgeous 14 per cent, for a good many years past, and the present div. represents still another drop. Deposits and advances, which have been decreasing with more or less regularity for five years or so, have again diminished slightly. The present rate of profit represents about £3 8* per cent. per annum on the shareholders' capital and reserve-fund, so apparently the pro fits of the ordinary banking business— despite the fact that it is a very large one are exceedingly limited. But the Bank of Australasia ia not singular—all the banking institutions under the Southern Ore as are under the same category.

A FEW INCHES OF PLAIN ENGLISH

Nowadays men are doing all sorts of wonders by means of electricity, both in mechanics and in chemistry. I see by the papers that they expect to be able to produce real diamonds by ifc. Perhaps they may ; marvels never cease. But we wilt wait till they do before wo crow over that job. Up to this time, anyway, everything that is both valuable and useful is the fruit of hard work. Even diamonds are mostly got out of rocky mines. And, within reasonable limits, it is good for us to have to work. Ten shillings honestly earned ia better for a roan than twenty in the shape of a legacy

The best condition of things for any oountry would be when fair wages could be earned straight along, withoub loss or deduction for any reason. But in the present aspect of human affairs this is impossible. Whose fault it is we cannot now discuss

One source of loss, however, is plain enough, and some remedy for it ought to be found. In England and Wales every work ing man averages tea days of illness per year, making the total loss oi wages from this cause about £16 OCO,OOO a year. We are talking of the average, you see. But inasmuch as all working-men are not ill every year, this average does not fairly Bhow the suffering and 1033 of those who are Hi. Io any given year many will lose no time at all, while others may lo3e individually from ten days to six months each. No charity, no savings, no income from clubs, etc,, can make up for this —even in money alone, to say nothing of the pain and the misery AUud'ng to an experience of hia in 1888 Mr George L'-igdon says, 'I had to give up my work.' How this came to pass he tells us in a Setter dated from his home in White House Road, Rtebbing, near Dunmow, Angast 24, 1892. He' had no inherited disease or weaknes?, so far ad he knew, and was always strong and well up to April of that year—lßßß. Then his strength and energy began to leave him. He felt tired, Hot as from work, but as from power gone ©lit of him through some bodily failure. He nut down Io hia meals, but not with his old eagerness and re'ish Ihf re was a nasty coppet-like taste in his mouth his teeth, and tongue were covered wiih slime, and his throat clogged with a kind oi thick phlegm, difficult to ' hawk ur»' and eject

He also speaks of a nagging pain io the Bto;nach, flatulency, and much, palpitation of the heart aa Haying been among hia symptoms. Aa the ailment—whatever it ■was—:proj?resaeti he began to have a hacking (jough which, he says, seemed as if it must shake h,im to, pieces. He could scarcely sleep on account of it. One of the most alarming fft^tiues of his illnesp, however, were the night sweats, for the reason that they showed the existence of a source o? weakness which must soon, unless arrested, end in total prostration. In fact he was obliged to give op his work altogether. To him—as to any once active man —this was like being buried alive

One doctor whom Mr Lagdon consulted said he was consumptive, and it did indeed lop,k that way. * For twelve weeks,' he says, I went on like this, getting weaker and, weaker, and having reason to believe that it would end in my taking the one journey from which no traveller returns

It was now July—summer lime, when life to the healjthy is so pleasant and full of hope. At this time my sister-in-law got from Mr Fansel's (Siebbing) a medicine that I had not tried, yet. After having used one bottle I felt better, and when I had ust-d (he second *I was cured, and have not lost an hour's work since.'

The reader will notice that between the cfafce of hia taking this medicine and the date of hia letter there is an interval of four years. We may, therefore, infer that hia cure was real and permanent, The medicine, by the^vAy, was Mother Seigei's Curative Syrup. It is not likely he will forget its name nor what it did for him. His disease was indigestion and dyspepsia, the dead'y enemy of every labouring man or woman under the sun, no matter what they work at or work with—hands, brains, or both

Is it necessary to draw % 'moral'—school book style - from these facts? No, it is not. We have talked pViin English, and that is enough.
