Fox-Hunting on a Bicycle.

Mr Pat O'Brien, M.P., has broken the record. The Meath hounds met at Foxbrookj when a fox was started After an exciting ma he crossed tlie Boyne and gained the shelter of Much wood, where he was run to earth and killed. This part of the country is well intersected by roads, which are in admirable condition and well suited for cycling. Mr O'Brien, member for Kilkenny city, was present at the meet on his machine, and following the hounds by way of the roads, was first in at the death. Mr Watson, the master of the hound?, cordially con gratulated Mr O'Brien on his novel achievement, aud referred in the most genial way to the sporting qualities of his constituents. - He concluded by pre senting the brush to Mr O'Brien, who waved it triumphantly and rode off amid the cheers of the rustics, who had assembled in time to witness so un usual a spectacle. The bicycle has achieved many triumphs, but this is believed to be the first occasion on which it has beaten a field of Irish hunters.

Needless Alarm.

Whether the suffering which peopia under go from disease is more physical than mental ia a point not easy to decide. It depends largely on the nature of the disease, and the make-up of the individual. Experience seems to show, however, that in one prevail' ing disease —indigestion or dyspepsia, the two kinds of suffering are very evenly divided, and both very great, the mental distress beiDg chiefly due to the illusions and deceptions which attend it. For ex ample, though dyspepsia is Bolely an affec tion of the digestive organs, it has power to set up disorders in others which always alarm the sufferer, aDd often perplex his medical advisers. These symptoms or .sequences may relate to the head, the heart, the sighf, the hearing, the lungs, or to other organs or functions. Take an illustration or two. " In the spring of 1891," says Mr Edward Tatham, " 1 fell into a low, weak state of health, I had a foul taate in the mouth, _4!id- was constantly spitting up a thick phlegm. My appetite was poor, and ufter eating 1 had fullness and pain at the chest —the latter seemed to be puffed or swollen. What made me most anxious waa my breath. ing, which came to be so difficult and short that at times I could on!y catch my breath by an effort. I was led to fancy that some thing must ail my lungs, especially as so great a quantity of mucus gathered in my throat and mouth. It was usually worse at > night, and I got very htde sleep on account of it; sometimes n' ue at all. In & morning I would be quite worn out. '• As time went on 1 became very weak, and waa much put to it to get about. I took all kinds of medicines and got no pro per relief from anything. In February, 1893, Mr William Beardsley," grocer, Cot manh&y, Lold tne how he had been cured of a like trouble by Mother Seigei'a Curative Syrup. Acting on his advice I got a bottle of this medicine from Mr Piatt's Drug Stores, Awawortlv Road, and after taking it felt quite another man. My h?eathing was ! easier, and nuy food agreed with me. I j continued using the Syrup, and got stronger and better every day. When i had taken j four bottles I was as well as ever, being fiee from all pain or discomfort. My wife, who has Buffered for years from liver complaint, has taken the Syrup with the same good re sultß as in my own case. You are at liberty to make any use you like of this statement. (Signed) Edward Tatham, Tatham's Lane, Cotmanhay Road, llkeston, Derbyshire, March 21st, 1895." "In Octobe-, 1888," writes another, "I began to feel weak, heavy, and tired. My appetite was poor, and after eating I had distress at the stomach, together with short ness of breath, and a good deal of pain across the ches 1". Sometimeß I would be taken with sudden dizziness, as though I musk fall to the ground. Ccld, clammy sweats used to break out all over me and I trembled from head to foot. Finally, I got so weak I could scarcely walk to my work. Indeed, I had occasionally to leave my work ; I have been away as long as a month at a time. In this way I suffered for about two years. "la August, 1890, Mr Thompson, the grocer in Church Street, urged me to try Mother Seigel's Syrup. After taking only one bottle I felfc better. My food agreed with me and I was stronger. Continuing with this medicine, gradually all pain left me, and I completely recovered my health. Since then I have kept the Syrup in the house for use in time of need. You are free to publish this statement. (Signed) William Mallender, 71, Robinson's Buildings, New lull, Wath, near Sheffield, October 11,

1895." Caies of supposed disease of the heart, of the nervuua system, of the kidneys, etc., constancy prove to be, not organic affections of those parts at all, but merely local or functional disturbances caused by the toxic or poisonous principles thrown into the l?!ood by the decomposition or fermentation of food in the stomach ; otherwise, by dys pepsia or indigestion. But until they are discovered to be so they -are mistakenly treated ; and serious, often fatal, results, Until pronounced and undeniable symptoms of organic mischief show themselves (which is not the case once in a hundred times) you m»y taka it for granted that your ailment ia some form of dyspepsia, easily curable by Mother's Seigei's Syrup, as demonstrated by the two instances cited above.

A UNIVERSAL CHRISTMAS BOX. /"CIVILISED society recognises Christmas \_J as the season of goodwill, and goodwill usually takes the form of a present. The present may only be a twopenny pictorial card with a greeting inscribed on it, or it may be something more valuable or nsefn], according to the means and generosity of the giver. There are some presents which are the reverse of profitable to the recipient. For instance, an elephant would hardly suit a citizen who lived in a four roomed cottage with no back yard to speak of, neither would the gift of the new Government steamer Tutanakei be acceptable if the recipient had to keep her in commission as a yacht. But the best of ail Christmas presents, the one which would be unanimously accepted with gratitude by every householder, be he or she wealthy or poor, is a box of Soratuba Tea, accompanied by the donor's hope of many happy returns of the day, Suratdra Tea brings to the home cheerfulness and health. The hypochondriac recovers his spirits, the bilious subject becomes cheerful under its >enign influence there ia no known in stance of Suratcra Tba being replaced in a household by any other tea after one trial, because its economy, purity, strength, aroma, and freedom from blending with Indian and China teas commend it without puffing.
