The South Australian Loan.

♦ Adelaide, June 15 The Register, commenting on the recent local loan, says the fact that those with a surplus of cash are eager to accept SI per cent for their money, should male the Government pause before undertaking the bnsiuesa of money lenders on what must be pre sumed to be doubtful mortgage security. Where the security is good plenty of money is available, but the possibility i* securing a money lender who can be influenced by politicians in want of votes is a consideration that appeals to many voters who put self* interest first and the credit of the country after. If the Government continue to ignore the danger, South Australia may have to go through the same bitter experience as Canada and some other countries where State money loans were tried with disastrous •Sect.

The Gwen Davies Company.

The attendance at Gwen Davies' enter tainment on Satuiday night was not large —a good company somehow or other does not get a good house on a Saturday. The attractions of the main street—with its glare of light, its buying and selling, its crowd of p 3ople on purchase beat, and its still larger crowd who spend nothing but time and breath in gosbip—are too great for the average Ashburton man, as against the power to draw of anything really good. Lat the entertainment be

just slightly (or more than" slightly) bordering on the — well, lefc us say frivolous to avoid saying questionable— and there will be a passably large attend ance in the back seats, mostly young fellow?, while the front seats will be sparrely occupied. On the other hand, let the show be hedged round yards deep with the proprieties, and given by p<fr formers of undoubtsd talent-, and the best paying part of the house will be the front seats, the second but so-so, wirh ooly a limited number behind. Be it said also of that number that they will be a different class of people from those who attend the other sort of entertainment Bat i hough the dud,ience was not large, the company did not let the thin house discourage them, and the efforts to ploise were not slackened. Miss Daviee gives what may be called a monologue entertainment. It is based on the celebrated German-Reed entertainments which were so popular for a whole generation in London, and in which the late Corney Grain wa<? so prominent a figure. Mius Davids' imita tions were really excellent. Her mimicry of the M P, speaking on a windy day at a presentation, of the hdy adjusting her natural and artificial hair after being frowsed by the same wind, and the singir.g of the Mayor's children, were excellent, as were also her caricatures of the vil lagers, and the performers at the local concert, not forgetting "God save the Queen"on tb j piano that was so sadly oit of tone. In the course of her part of the entertainment, Ferren Ruhl, the trom bonist, and Handke, the viola player, are Introduced, Herr Ruhl is a wondeiful player, %nd in tha course of one of his selections showed h:s mastery of the art of what brass instrument players cill <:double-tonguing" by Jewing the im pression on the ear that he was playing a duet on his instrument— ■ the dual effect being produced simply by the quick suc cession in which the upper and lower notes are voiced. Herr Handke is a vi-ila player of great aVj'ity, and seldom indeed do we listen to such expositions i f ballad airs, mtUgre the fantastic settings of Kitter, as he gave, Mr Hastings, who took the place of Mr Marcus, sang the new sor.g "Sweet Marie" with much effect, and was heartily enoorcd.

Often Tired Out Never Weary.

Let's discus 3 this point for two minutes. Here's a man who says that at a certain period he began to feel tired and weary. That's precisely the way he puts it in h:6 letter. Now anybody has a right to feel tired or fatigued (it's the same thing), after labor or much, exercise. It'd the body's fashion of telling you to hold up, to give it a rest. It is a natural and, in health, with supper and sleep just ahead, a pleasant feel ing. But weariness ! —that's different. 1 hat comes of monotony, of waiting, cf loneliness. Weariness is of the mind, cot of the body. Eat it can arise in the body, all the same.

If this buthers you at first, don't say, stuff! humbug! but study up ou it. A man may be tired and happy, but not weary and happy. For weariness means depressed spirits, and nerves all sagged down in the middle. And when you get bot ■ at once you will be wise to find out what's gong wrong.

It is a short letter, this is, and we can just as well quote the who'e of it. The writer says—"lt was in November, 18S7, when I began to feel tired and weary. It seemed as if I had no strength left in me. Before that I had alwayn been strong and healthy. My appetite was poor, and for days together I could not touch any food that was placed before me. After every meal th i»; I did succeed in forcing down I had such dreadful pains in the chest and back that I was almost afraid to eat. Then there was a sharp pain around the heart, too, as though I was stabbed with a knife. "I lost a deal of sleep, andforuights to gether I didn't sleep at all. 1 hen I began to lose fle.-h rapidly, and was afraid I was going into a cousump ion. Yet I kept on with my work, however, but it was a hard thing for me, because I was to weak and nervous that I trembled from head to foot. As time went on I gradua ly got worse and worse, and my eyes wore sunken and drawn in. I consulted a doo'or in Kentish Town. Be gave me medicine, but it did no good. Alter all this I got the idea into my head that. I should not recover.

" One day a lady cime into the shop, and noticing the state 1 was in, kindly asked how long I had been ill. I told her all ahcut it, an>l she said • You try Mother Soigel's Curative Syrup ; it lias made me well and I ! believe it will do you good.' "i sent for a bottle and after taking only a few doses I felt relieved. Presently my food agreed with me, and 1 enjoyed my meala. I could sleep better also, and by keeping on taking the Syrup I soon got as strong as I ever was in roy life. Since that time (vow over four years ago), I have been in the be ,t of health. I consider that in all probability this remedy saved my life; at all events, it restored my health, and life without health don't amount to much. I gladly consent to the publication of this statement, and will answer inquiries. Yours truly. (Signed), G. Vince, 142, Shepherd's Bush Roid, London, W., November 30, 1892."

Thus Mr Vince's unfortunate experience comes, to happy end. As he has to work for a living, like most of us, he is no doubt often tired, but cover weary any more. And what can possibly be more wearisome than long-continued illness '! With him, as with million?, it was the stomach that was in fault. His food entered the stomach and stopped there. So he suffered from two bad results ; lie received no strength from it, but be did receive the deadly acids and gases which the fermented s'uff gave birth to. Indigestion and dyspepsia. The same old story of pain and misery, and, thank mercy, the same story of restoration and gratitude after an appeal for help had been made to good old Mother Seigel.
