The Tichborne Claimant.

» . London, May 24 Orton says that Slade gave away all the details of the Tichborne family. He simply sucked Slade's brain?.

JUDGE MOLESWORTH.

Mbibourne, May 27 Judge Molesworth has addressed another letter to the Secretary of the , Crown Law Department with reference to J. B. t)avies' case. Presuming that the recent censure emanated from the Attorney-General, he says the only ex cuse for such an offensive and insulting letter, tbs many conclusions in which are entirely false, is that the writer did not know the facts. His Honor contends that the person by ■whose authority the letter was written exceeded all bpunds of decency, unless he was in a position to refute all Judge Molesworth maintains, or if Judge Molesworth's conduct was such that he should be dismissed from office. He claims he had no intention to asperse Parliament or Government, and his action was the outcome of the growing dissatisfaction among County OoUrt Judges as a body.

Granny Gorton's Birthday.

Saturday, January 21, Was a great day in Central Village, in the State of Connecticut, in America. On that day Mrs Jonathan Gbrton was 100 years old and formally re ceived her friends, of, whom hundreds were present. She wore her best black silk gown, with a rose in the bodice. The venerable lady was seated in a comfortable armchair on a platform in the best room of her house. Then the train of callers filed through, each and all shaking hands with her. ' Granny Gorton,' as the is called, is a trim little body and very nimble on her feet. There was never anything ailed her, she saya, and, except that her eyesight isn't quite so good as it used to be, she is as active as any woman of 50. Why has Granny Gorton lived so long? Why is she so active now? She lets out the secret herself when she says, "There was never anything ailed me." That's it. and all of it.

People who live 100 years ate nob so very rare. The death of 45 such were reported last year in England—22 men and 23 women. Yet, compared to the multitudes who die, these are nothing-—nothing. Can we not keep things, from ailing us, and so live as long as Mrs Gorton? Yes, if we will take the trouble to do it Men and women 100 years old, still vigorous and clear-headed, should be a sight sc commeon as not to be remarked, and will be yet in the future. Why not so now ? " Ask yourself the question," ad the boatmen say down on Deal beach.

Here's how it is: A woman's tale. She says she fell ill when a girl of about 15. She lost her appetite, had pains in the sides and chest, frequent headaches, and was often obliged to lie down on the couch aDd rest. All this didn't promise long life, did it ? No; it was a bad start.

Well, she got worse instead of better. She was often sick, vomited her food, and spit ting up a sour fluid. For five ypars she went on in this way. This bring* us to October, 1881. She was then in service as parlour-maid at Leamington Hastings, Warwickshire. Here she suffered from con stant sickness, retching, and heartburn. The chest pains were so bad as to bend her two double. No position that she could take relieved her. Her stomach was so tender and sore that everything she ate pained and distressed her. For months and mouths she only took liquid food—milk and beaten eggs, and co on. She got weaker and weaker every day, co sba says. Of course ; how else could it be ? A doctor at Rugby told her she had 'ulcera tion of the chest,' which she didn't at all. What is • ulceration of the chest' 1

He gave her medicines and advice, but she grew no better on that account. This young lady was now about twenty years old, with a poor outlook for ever being much older. She didn't expect it, nor did her fritnds. Then another doctor, being consulted, said 'ulceration of the chest,' like his medical brother at Rugby. Both wrong. 'After six months' medical treatment,' ghe says, ' I gave up my situation and returned to my home at Burton Lamas, Norfolk. This was in June, 1882. Then I waa taken so bad I had to take to my bed. My mother thought I was in a decline.' Now, the word ' decline' means consump tion, as we all know; a disease common in England and incurable everywhere. Thou sands of bright girls and young men ♦decline' into their graves every year in this populous island. Sad enough ib is to see.

Well, at this point her good and wise mother interfered in her daughter's case. She gave the doctors the go-by and sent to Norwich for some bottles of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. In two weeks the young patient began to feel better, and in three months she got a new situation and went to work.

Since then, fifteen years ago, she says,' I have kept in better health than ever before in my lite, thanks to Seigel's Syrup; Yours truly, (Signed), (Mrs) Sarah Eleanor Baker, 8, King's Street, Church Road Tottenham, near London, September 30, 1892.'

A dozen words more and we're done. Mrs Baker's ailment was indigestion and dyspepsia, nothing else, and quite enough. The ulceration was inflammation of the inner coating of the stomach, a symptom of the disease. We wish her a long aDd happy life, and merely add that if all her sex could avoid or cure this one trouble most of them might live to be as old as Granny Gorton.
