The Arabian Sea.

In the spring time the Arabian Sea lies placid and safely navigable by the smallest boat* in front of Selambique. So quiet Is the water that at night time the Bhoala >f tfsh can be traced from the hillside above the shore by the phosphorescence accom panying their movements. And in the sunlight, deep down among the rocks, you am see strange, eeMike fish, streaked brown and gold, like serpents ; out on the long sandy pits that border the river's mouth are flocks of dotterel thickly clustered, and the gulls make frequent lUshes for the glittering sardines which incautiously coma near the surface. On, t his sea in the spring season you can safely drift along the coast in an open boat j the land breeze after midnight u»tu early morning, and that from the sea In the afternoon and evening, suffice to fill the sail and keep a gentle way on the craft. The servants are, of course, all sick, and lying pron© in the bow ; and wrapt in a blanket in the stern, the master must be content to make his meals of tinned soup or bread and cocoa heated over the boat man's smouldering embers. But how charming is the natural beauty of the surroundings! Such mto compensate the traveller for all physical diecomfor s. Close by the cliffs drop abruptly into the water, clothed in some places with the feafchery bamboo; the wavelets splash the rocks with blue light; above, here and there on the commanding headland^ are the old forts, which once echoed with th? sound of cannon, but now the home of the panther and hyena, grass-grown and disfigured in their outlines by the assaults of scores of monsoon *ains ; in the deep ravines below their ranges nestle the hamlets ot the cultivators who now, un disturbed by the freebooters, pursue their husbandry beneath the grattf ul Bhade of the plantain and areca trees. Sometimes the rocks open out and reveal a stretch of white sand backed by dense grovns of cocoanut, and dotted with fishws huts j from the bordering jungle comes the weird cry of the jackal, attracted by the odour of the sun-dried fish, answered by the barks of the ever-watchful village dogs. Behind all are the frowning heights of the Ghats, clothed at night with a uniform tint of grey.

What Dreamh May Come * ■ In a recent lecture at the Royal Institution, Dr. B. W. Richardson says that the sleep of health is dreamless. " Ireams," says Shakespeare, " are children of an idle brain," If both the doctor and the poet are right it follows that idle brains are unhealthy brains. No doubt there might he truth in the in terference, but that is not quite the point. Are all dreams signs of a diseased condi tion? To this the doctor says "No." He divides dreams into two classes; those started by noises or other causes outside the sleeper, and those produced by pain, fever, or indigestion. Here we inject a fact. We receive multi tudes of letters containing this affirmation, almost in identical words : I was worse tired in the morning than when I went to bed. To this the doctor has an answer. He says. When we feel wearied in the morning very likely it. results from dreams that we have forgotten. Quite so. In other words there is a bodily condi tion which may prevent a person from work ing by day at his usual calling, but obliges him to labour all night under a mental stimulus of which he knows nothing save by its resulting exhaustion. These unhappy wretches toil harder, therefore, for no com pensation, when they aie ill, than they have to do to earn a living when they are well. What an infernal and frightful fact J And this too without taking into account their physical suffering at all times. Night, said Coleridge, is my hell. From one of, the letters referred to we quote what a woman says of her daughter: She was worse tired in the morning than when she went to bed. Poor girl. Those forgotten dreams had tossed her about as a ship is tossed in a tempest. Night was her day of labour. The mother s simple tale is this: In June, 1890, my daughter Ann Elizabeth became low, weak, and fretful, and complained of pain in the chest after eating. Next her stomach was so irritable that she vomited nil the food she took. It was awful to see her heave and strain. For three weeks nothing passed through her stomach except a little soda water and lime water, Later on, her feet and legs began to swell and puff from dropsy. She was now pale as death and looked as though she had not a drop of blood in her body, and was. always cold. Month after month dragged by and ehe grew weaker every day. She could not wa'k without support, for she had lost the proper use of her legs, and her t»pdy swayed from side to side as she movjed^ij**-



A doctor attended her for twelve months, and finally said it was no uss giving her any more medicine as it would do no good. In May, 1891, I took her to the Dewsbury Infirmary; She got no better there, and I thought 1 was surely going to lose her. She was then thirteen years of age. One day a lady (Mrs Lightoller) called at my shop, and seeing how bad my daughter was, spoke of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and persuaded us to try it, I got a bottle from the Thornhill Lees Co-operative Stores, and she began taking it. In two days she found a little relief; the sickness was not so frequent. She kept on with the Syrup and steadily improved. Soon she was strong as ever, and has since been in the best of health and can take any kind of food. After he had taken the Syrup only two weeks the neigh bors were Bnrprteed at her improved ap pearance and I told them what had brought it about—that Seigel's Syrup had done what the doctors could not do, it saved her life. Yours truly, (signed), Mrs Sarah Ann Sheard, 19, Brewery Lane, Thornhill Lees, near Dewsbnry, October 11, 1892. The inciting cause of all this young girl s pitiful suffering was indigestion and dyspepsia, dropsy being one of its most dangerous symptoms, It attacks both youth and age, its fearful and often fatal results being due to the fact that physicians usually treat the symptoms instead of the disease itself. A child's dreams, says Dr Richardson, are signs of disturbed health and should be re garded witn anxiety." The same is true of the dreams of older peop'e. They mean poison in the stomach and point to the imme diate use of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup



Foe Indigestion, the best remedy is un doubtedly Norton's Camomile Pills. They can confidently be recommended as being mild in operation and absolutely free from injurious drugs. Acting at once as a splen did tonic and a gentle aperient, tfor nearly 100 years they have proved unequalled for Tndigeation, Dyspepsia, Bick Headache and for Liver and Stomach compla ts, Sold in bottles Is l|d, 2a 9d, and 11s, by all Medi cine Vendors throughout the world.
