Three Great Statesmen

Mr Chamberlain is as different from Mr Bright as one man could be from another, and yet in one respect they are like each Other. Mr Chamberlain al ways preserves his superb calm and even when he is saying his most violent and bitter things* there is no rise in the voice, the only indication is that the note seems deeper and more intense. I dont know how he fares at election times, but t should judge, from the number cf times he had been able to speak, that his voice holds np well' Mr Gladstone, also could always preserve his voice. It was not assuredly that he was not a man of hot temper and vehement of his speeches, in the hotteit of ti'» es, and to the wildest of aud iences, you could observe that at his hearts core he preserved the perfect serenity of the artist who has to econo mise his voice and study his effects. I am too much of a Gelt to be able to fol* low the example of these great masferi ~M A P

The Royal Arms

A CAUTION TO TRADERS

At the Bow Street Court, London, the United Wine and Spirit Association (Limited) were recently gammoned before Sir Franklin Luehington for using the Royal Armß without the authority of her Majesty or any, of the Boyal family. Mr J P Grain supported the summons on behalf of the Incorpor ated ABBOciation of her Majesty* warrant holders ; Me Bonsey defended, Mr Grain explained that the defendants carried on business as wine merchant* in Exeter Street, Strand, The same kind of business had been carried on there for maDy years. In 1884 the name of the firm was Damant and Co, They were succeeded by John Ellii and Go, and then the United Wine and Spirit Association (the defendant*) acquired th« business. Ihe defendants used on their invoices the wordt, " United Wine and Spirit Association, successors of John Ellis and Co, late Damant and Co, by special appointment (here the Royal Arms appeared) to her Majesty the Queen." The defendant! used the Royal Arms on their laheii and capsules, but they had no right to do so. Jt was perfectly true that at some remote period Damant and Go held the Royal Warrant, but it was not transferred to their successors. There had been a great deal of correspondence on the subject, and as the defendant! persisted in using the Royal Arms, the complainants felt bound to proceed against them. Mr Bonaey said he wished it to be understood that there had been no intention, on behalf of the defendants, to deceive the public, In 1884: Messrs Damant and Co, the owners of the business, supplied cham pagne to members of the Boyal family, and received the Boyal Warrant, The defendants did not represent on their labels or jnvoices that they held the Royal Warrant, They simply intended to make it known that they were the successors of people who h»d supplied wine to Royalty. Sir Franklia Lushington said the Warrant referred to by Counsel was a strictly personal matter. It was not conferred on the defendant company, and they would have to pay a fine of £10, and £3 3i costs

Bbitish OiriCMtSi— There are two classes of British officers. The first ia composed of elder sons who join the Army because it pro* vides reputable and not too t xaotiog occupa tion, and who generally resign shortly af tec they suooeed to their eßtates or marry. In the second are the younger bods who eerve until they have secured an heiress or a pen* fion. Allied with these are all the men and women in the country who have place, power or pociioa.— Graphic

Purs, Rich Blood Gives Appetite, Tones Up the Nerves. When the blood is bad everything is bad. There is loss of appetite, great depression, the nerves are weak, no energy, the face is pale, and there is loss in flesh. Mrs. Annie Power, of Spring Hill, Brisbane, Queensland, sends us her photograph and says; 1 •• 1 have suffered greatly from loss of appe tite, great weakness of the nerves, thin blood, and from the trying climate of this part of the country, especially during the summer.
