Doubtless Shakespparr, when he put into the mouth of "Puck," m the . . . Tempest, -the oft CABIE quoted words "I TELEGRAPHY, will pat a girdle round the earth ia forty minutes," had no intention of being prophetic, and perhaps still less ' was he desirous that his words should be taken m a prophetic sense. If, however, we choose to regard them as prophetic, the telegraphic, cable system of the world would seem to offer some justification. Take for instance Admiral Dewey's cable mes- sage, announcing his victory at Manilla. That message took but thirty five minutes to pass over about 14,000 miles, and about a dr zen different lines. From Manilla it went to Hong Kong (630 miles), over the cable that was afterwards cut. This cutting, it will be remembered, shut the outer world off from communication *ith the Philippines for some time, until the connection was restored. From Hongkong the flying words went to Saigon m Oocbin China, 460 miles ; another flight of 630 miles took it to Singapore, and thence by Penang, 335 milep, to Madras, 1493 miles. Then it covered 800 miles to Bombay, 1850 to Aden, 1403 to Suez, and 200 to Alexandria. Via Malta to Gibraltar represented another long flight of 2039 mile?, and thence to Carcavellos, near Lisbon, added another 337 miles to the track of the message. Thence it was sent on to Land's End, and so to Lon- don. From London it shot across to Ireland to be sent by the Atlantic cable to New York. The distance covered would scarcely represent the girdling of the earth, but the route takes its way by many portions of it, and had the line been direct from [ Manilla to the great American city, and no intermediate handling required/ the time taken would have been vastly * reduced. But 14,000 miles m 35 minutes is a great achievement, and takes what was a "fairy tale" m I Shakespeare's time into the realms of fact m our own. Hollo way's Pills and Ointment. — A great injustice is very of en done because some Belf-asserti\e people imagine it is Dexb to impossible to make an error. Shake- speare must have made an analytical study of the. human heart befote he uttered those warniDg words " Man know thyself, then others lea ?n to know." This is a lesfon we should all try and perfect ourselves m, and 1 when this haß been done we have to face the significant fact thit nnleßS we cultivate <*ood health, prosperity and happiness caunot abide with as. tfolloway'e Pills will *id U8 to do this. The mist eminent; medical m«n agree that for the preservation of good he .lth and cure of disease there is nothing to eg tal them.
