Very good, then. You have noticed great differences in j your own vigour. Some days you work easily, and on others with difficulty. This ia so whether yoy are ohif fly a rouscle worker or a buain-worker ; or a mixture of both—as most people are. Occasion ally you are able to do more work in a day than at other times you can do in three. It is the odds between walking on smooth, hard level ground and drag jnng yourself uphill through wet ' ehy. What wouldn't lawyers, authors, clergy, men, and all other brain-workers give for something having the power to keep their miuda clear and strong 1 Oe bcdy*workers for something that would prevent'aching, weakness, and fatigue ? Do Ikn >w what will do it? No, I don't If I did I could retail the secret for more money than Is Btowed away in the Bank of England. Bub Ido know ona thing, and will tell it to you in a minute-for nothing. First, however, we will talk of Mr J B. Gosa and the faction he tried so long to overcome. Mr Goes is a large farmer living at Stradsetc, near Do wnham Market Norfolk, and is well known in his dis trict. When the farmers meet on market days he often speaks of his experience and how he came out of it. In order to cover it all he has to go back fifteen years—to about 1878. At that time he began to feel.'the "signs of sorae'diseise which he could neither account for nor understand. At first he merely realised that he was out of o»n ---diiion. His work became lesa a pleasure and more ?n 1 more a task. From his business his thoughts turned upon himself, and no man can work well in that form. Then ho and his victuals be gan to disavree, which ia a state of thing? to make a man ask what can the reason be? He had a well-provided table, of course ; yet he often f-ac down to his meals and couldn't touch a morsel. Mr Gobs knew, that this would never do. If a man nx pects 'to live, be munt eat. There are no two ways about that. So he ate more or less—although nob much—without t,he stimulus of an appetite; he forced it down, as you may say. But this wouldn't d<-. either. "When the stomach goes on strike it can't be whipped into working befor. the question at issue is properly settled. Thus id ended in his having great piii and tightness at his sides and chest. ' J was constantly belching up a sour fluid, he says, l which ran iut of my mouth ik vinegar. I had a horrible sensation a the stomach, for which I was not able to Ind any relief. For nijjhta togeih^r 1 c )uld get no sleep ; and in this genera; condition I continued for five yeirs, no medlcina or medical treatment doing more than to abate some of the worst symptom* for the time being. 'In the early part; of 1863 I heard of ;< medicine which was said to do good in cases like minp. Whether it would heip me rf course I had no idea. After so mony things have failed, one naturaly has no faith in a new one. Yet I got a supply and began with it. In a shors. time it was plain that I had come up n the real remedy at last. My food agreed with me, and soon all pan and distras gradually lefb me. Sinco then (now ten yeara ago) I have kept in the beat o' health, It I or any of my family ail any thing, a dose of Mother Heigel's Curatfvt Syrnp—the medicine that cured me— aoon sets us right. We have no need of a doctor. (Signed) J. B. Goss, March 24 h, 1893. 1 Mr Goss once said that If Seigel's Syrup cost 20a a bottle he would noe b8 withou It in his house. We can eaUy believi him. Considering what it did for him - and does for others—id would be cheap at any price. Yes, like plenty of thing of the highest practical value, it costs bu' , little. The reader can imagine under what difficulty and friction Mr Goss mas have done what work he did during thoso five years' suffering with indigestion »n dyspepsia. This then, we know ; that life's friction 1 and loss of powar coma chiefly from tba 1 single disease, and that ease srises how the use of Seigel'a great discovery. !

An Awkward Fix.

Thocascof & mm being tw&Uowed by ftead remuned abore the aarrh. Ihe quick -«•>«! Iras struck at * tenement being coo strutted at 27 Henry street. A crowd of people congregated, aod every effort wu made to reach the man The police formed a line .We the pit, an d the crowd kept b*ok for fear the earth would become ot«t. loaded and cauae a altfe which woald pat. the man beyond the reaoh of assistance. A rope wh placed above the man's neck while hia should.: rs were set above the quivering sauds, but it became neoeeaary to remove It for fear of choking him. Every step near the edge of the excavation earned the earth to crumble and fait in upon the man. The Rev. Father Speliman was on hand prepared to give the man extreme unction. Great crowds thronged the streets and with diffi. cafty were kept at a sufficient distance to prevent disturbing those heroically digging to s*ve the man's life. BvwtavJlj th? sufferer wm released.

There seems to be no end to the use* to which the Rotitgen rays c*n be put, A young French THE ROST6EN eavant, M. Seguy, .RAYS. has invented a won derful instrument, by which customhouse officers can see through trunks, handbag*, and packing cases, without going through the tedious process of opening them, and thus ascertain whether they contain any contraband goods or articles liable to duty. The apparatus ia in appear ance like an opera glass, and is pro vided with a JRontgen photographic [plate instead of the ordinary lenses. I This was experimented with a few days since at Bercj, near Paris, ia the presence of some customs officials and two members of the institute. In a quarter of an hour's time 30 packages sent by parcels post were subjected to the inspection of this detector, with marvellous results. In one box, marked "Samples, no value," this instrument detected inside a slippar of three boxes of Kg/ptian cigarettes and one box of English lucifer matches. Another parcel, professing to contain » hat, wa=? found by the custom officer to conceal inside it an assortment of : watches. It is only right to add that in several instances the detector revealed nothing suspicions, and on the parcels being opened the truth of this diagnosis was confirmed. The director of the customs was so Btruck with the result of the experiments that he ordered the instrument to be immediately adopted for ose, both m regards parcels sent by post and pa* sengers' luggage.

Miscellaneous Items.

Golf can positively be traced in Scottish history back to 1457, and negatively to a remoter dace. t Th. e ,r«ennsylvjnia oi!fie!ds, which are about 350 square miloa in extent, have al ready yielded 516,000,000 barrels of petro lernn, 1 here ai en ■ her great fieds in Russia, Mexico, Jntiia, Urn-ids, and the Argentine Kepubhc, aud it is said that the area of the oil producing region in Pern alone is 7500 square miles. One of the bit aUesfc pieces of painting in the world is executed by a Flemish aitist. It is pain! Ed on the smooth side of a grain of common white corn, and pictures a mill ,*nd a miller with a ack of grain on his back. Ihe mill is represented as standing on a terrace, and near it is a horse and cart, while a group of peasants is shown in the road near by. Many p 9 rsons says the Shantum Farmer have discredited the statements of the Maoris that a lake existß in the Tararua ranges, bub apart from the report of Wi Katene, who went out last summer, news comes from a young settler living up the Ohau Valley that the lake does exist, and when the warm weather comes a party will go out to explore. A startling message was sent from New York in July by the correspondent of the Daily Mail to the effect that, largely as a result of reduced wages, over production, and general business depression, nearly all the iron and steel mills, tinplate mills, and window glass factories in the United States had c osed, leaving nearly 100,000 men idle. Added to the impending strike of coal miners, this will be the biggest suspension of business that haa occurred for years past. Several months may pass before these industries are again in full operation. Busi ness still contiuuas dull throughout the country, and the leading cities" are filled with unemployed.
