GRANTS OF SEED WHEAT. Sydney, March 13 The Government is receiving numer ous applications for seed wheat from farmers whose crops have been ruined by the drought. Wherever a good ease is made out the application is granted. The Government is en couraged to afford relief owing to the fact that of the farmers assisted m previous years of drought 75 per cent, made full repayment, and there is a good prospect that the whole will be returned with interest. WATER FOR DRY COUNTRY. As part oE a scheme for providing water for the dry back-country, the Government has accepted a tender for the construction of a weir m the Lashlan river, which will impound 225,000,000 gallons of water, and dis tribute it m creeks over a wide area of the driest district m the colony.

DIRECTORS 1 OVERDRAFTS. Melbourne, March 13 At the City of Melbourne Bank enquiry, Mr Williainaon, a Director, m his examination gave a peculiar account of a Director's dutieß. He admitted an overdraft of £6000, which the manager had requested, and he had obtained, securities to cover. Reply ing to a question by the Judge as to whether he thought it right for Directors, who were trustees of the depositors' money, to obtain large over drafts, he said it was quite right if safe, and it was the custom to do so. The Judge asked him if Directors were helping themselves to depositors' money did he not think it would be a good thing to periodically publish the names and amounts of overdrafts. The witness said he did not think so. The Judge differed from the witness, and said he thought such a course would have a good effect. The evidence showed that the manager had written to the witness, st ating that, owing to the auditor having refused to pass his accounts because not furlly covered, it would ruin them, as Mr Burns was the very man to show how virtuous he was as an auditor ; it was, therefore, abso lutely necessary to get a guarantee of some bonds.

TOOME to yon with a small affair that you may need. In England, the Continent, and many foreign countrie myself and wares are well known Many American families on their return from abroad bring my artioles with them, for they know them pretty well, but you may not be one of these. Confidence between man and man is slow of growth, and when found, its rarity makes it valuable. I ask your confidence and make a reference to this Journal to endorse that confidence. I do not think it will be misplaced. I make the best form of cure — an absolute one— for biliousness and headache that can be found m this year. The cure is so small m it* self, and yet its comfort to you is so great — twenty minutes being its limit when relief comes—^that it has become a marvel of its time. One and a half grains of medicine, coated with sugar is my remedy, m the shape of one small pill, known to commerce as Dr Haydook's Nsw Livee Fill. It is old m the market of Europe, but is new to North America. The price . is as low as an honest medicine can ' be sold at, 25 cents.

Orders and Arrows — : « When the captain of a ship orders some hands aloft to furl the main royal ihe »ncn jump to obey, as a matter of course. A sailor can climb up on a yard without having a shilling ashore or a penny m his pocket. Id fact, Jack seldom signs articles until he has used up both cash and credit. But when a doctor — who ia a sort of captain when one is laid up m the diy dock of ilinecs — orders a patient to go abroad for the benefit of his health, it is quite another thing A trip and Eojourn away from home is an expensive prescription, and moat of us can't afford it. If the doctor says it is a choice between that and the graveyard we shall h»ve to settle en the graveyard ; it is handy by, and 63 sy to get to. But are we really so hard pushed ? That is, as often as the doctors say we are? L<?t's turn the matter over m our minds for a minute. Here is a case that is j.at to the purpose. It concerns Mr Arthur Whiddon Melhuish of 3, Regent's Terrace, Po'slce Road, Exeter; and for the details we are indebted to a letter writ* en by him, dated March 7, 1893. He mentions that, m obedience to the orders of his doctors, he went to Canneß. m the south of France, m November, 1890, and Bpent the winter there. He also spent the following winter at rhe same place. He felt the better for the change ; we will tell you' why presently. But he obtained no radical benefit, which also we will explain later on. it appears that this gentleman had been -weak and ailing nearly all his life ; not exaotly ill, not wholly well— a condition that calls for constant caution. In March, 1890, he had a severe attack of inflammation of the lungs. Now I want the reader to honor me with hia best attention, as I must say m a few words what ought properly to take many. Shoot an arrow into the air — as straight up as you oan. You can't tell where it will fall. It may fall on a neighbor/s head, on your own, or on a child's, or on the pave- ment* Everybody's blood contains more or less poisonous elements. These are arrows, but unlike your wooden arrow they always strike on the weakest spot, or spots, m the body. If they hit the muscles and joints we call it rheumatism and gout ; if they hit the liver we call it liver complaint or billi- ousnesa ;if they hit the kidneys we call it Bright's disease ; if they hit the nerves we call it nervous prostration, epilepsy, or any of fifty other names ; if they hit the bron- chial tubes we call it bronchitis, &c. ; ■if they hit the air cells we call it inflammation of the lungs, or by-and-bye, consumption. And inasmuch »s these poisoned arrows pass through the delicate meshes of the lungs a thousand times every day it would be odd if they didn't hit them — wouldn't it ? Now, wait a bit : It follows that all the various so-called diseases above named are not diseases at all m and of themselves, • but merely symptoms of one only disease- namely, that disease which produces the poison I Good. Good. We will get on to the end of the story After the attack of lunginfl mmation Mr Alelluish suffered fiom los of appetite, pain m the cheat, sides, and stomach, and danger- ous constipation. He could eat only liquid food and had lo take his bed. For weeks lie was so feeble that he could not rise m. bed. He consulted one physician after another, obtaining no more than temporary rclisf from medicine. Then he was ordered abroad as we have related. His letter concludes m these words : " Whist at Cannes I consulted a doctor, who said my ailment was weak digestion, and that I Mm/ not trouble about my lungs. But I never Rained any real ground until November, 1891, when I began to take Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. This helped me m one week, and by continuing with it I got stronger and »tron6er, and am now m fair good health. Thiß, after my rola ives thought I shou'd never recover. ( igned) Arthur VVhiddon Melluish." To sum up : This gentleman's real ailment was md getion and dyspepsia, from which the blood poison comes that causes nearly all disorders and pains. The air of Southern France helped him temporarily, because it is milder than ours ; it did not remove the poison. By care and the use of Mother Seigel'B Curative Syrup he would have done better at home, as the result shows. Ho we see that it is not the climate that kills or saves • it is the condition of the digestion, If therefore your doctor orders you abroad for your health, tell him you will first try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup.
