The Ruler of Egypt

Lord Oronaer's promotion ia the' peerage to an earldom ia a well de-f served reward for a life spent in tha ■ ■ervioe of the State; No distinction that the nation c%b bestow upon him woald be in excess o£ the deserts ot Ibis great pro Oonsal. He ia the m»gtoian who had practically created modern Egypt. Sir Evelyn Baring made a great reputation as Finance Minister of India ; but it was not till lie reached Egypt that his financial and organising talents found full play. When England took over Egypt in 1883 the country was steeped in cor raption and weltering in chaos. Io J Lord Oromer it found » master genius, who has shaped its destinies ever since ■with an unerring but unobtrusive hand. Ec has recrg^nked its finance* placated the Khedive, harnessed the Nile, and restored to Bgypt its lost provinces in the Soudan The hour produces the man, bat rarely has" the hoar been so justified of its handiwork as in the case of this great adminis trator.

An Interesting Interview

A CLIPPING FROM THE ADE LAIDE ' ADVERTISER,' 13th APRIL, 1901 Mr E A Gilbert, who is staying at the York Hotel, granted a representa tive of the Advertiser, an interview yesterday. Mr Gilhert is the Austra lian Manager of the Bile Bean Manu factoring 00, and is in Adelaide on business for his firm. 1 This is one of my periodical visits to your city, sa*d Mr Gilbert,' aud I can assure you, when the time comes for me to leave Adelaide, I am invari ably sorry. Since I was here last the popularity of Bile Beans have increased beyond my most sanguine hopes. At the present time, they have the largest Sale of any proprietor? medicine. Their popularity might be assumed when it is known thafs 250,000 dosea of Bile Beans are consumed every night thronghont the world ' The work to be done in Australia alonp, must be heavy then V 1 Yes, for instance, the millions of pamphlets or booklets of the kind the public find at times under their doors, are in themselves a business to create and distribute. With oar English and Australian branches there is not a minute of the twenty four hours, passes without a Bile Bean book being placed under a door.' 'Are your English sales as great as ever, Mr Gilbert V s Yea, in one of the last letters I re ceived from Mr Fnlford, onr English Manager, that gentleman writes me, that our laboratories are comparatively speaking, going night and day to cope with the demand.' * What would you describe as the principal reason for the wholesale coc sumption of your Oonopany'stoedieine f * Well, answered Mr Gilbert,' there are many reasons. Sifting down everything, however, I might say it ia actually the acknowledged merit of the article. When Bile Beans first made their appearance on the Australian market, thpy were of course untried, and sufferers took thpm as a sample, aa it werp, Gaining benefit they re commended them to their friends, and their friends recommended them again, and bo on.' •It muat cost an enormous sum of monetr to advertise to the extent you do?'" 1 Yea,' good naturedly said Mr Gil— bdrt, 81 don't think you could tun it, because they tell me, that as a rale s press representatives are not million sires. Apart from the maintaining branches and stags throughout Aus tralasia, the advertising department would tax tha banking account of a healthy capatilis*, I can assure you. There is hardly a newspaper in the colonies, ot any standing, in which we do not advertise,' ' Do you rely solely upon advertising, for the sale of the Beans ? * Certainly not,' emphatically ans wered Mr Gilbert,'. • Advertising fa all very good in its way, but thousands of pounds spent, would not create and maintain the sale of an article, unless that article has merit; How often do you see an article boomed and adver tised to an enormous extent, yefe in a year psrhapp, its goes off the market. No it ia merit and merit alone, that we rely upon for the enormous sale of the Beans? * Will Federation mc rease the price, per box, of Bile Beans 1 ' No, not in the slightest.* Though I really believe that if they were an almost prohibitive tariff in the Oom~ SBonwealtb, making the price of Bile Beans, two or three times aa high, as they are at present;, the publio would take them jo§ts the same. Of course if our sales were cot enormous, we could sot possibly sell the Beans at thirteen pence half-penny per box—it is the millions and millions, sold during the year, that enable? us to cell them at such a low figure.' The interviewer thanked Mr Gilbert, for the time he had given him, and the Manager of tha Bile Bean Manufac turing Go., hurried off to keep an important business appointment.

\ Strengthens the Nerves. j When the blood is impure the whole j nervous system becomes poisoned. It is impossible to throw off that terrible depression j and there is no ambition to work. But there is a way whereby you may again be strong and vigorous. Mr. Charles Richardson, of 37 Howick Street, Launceston, Tasmania, sends us his photograph and the following letter: "Once my arms were covered with sores that were worse than boils. They were deep rooted in the flesh and caused great suffering. My blood was in an awful condition. AS an other time I had a severe attack of influenza. I could neither eat, sleep, nor work, and I never expected to recover. AVER'S Sarsaparilla cured me from both of these violent attacks. The first time it took all impurities out of my ( system; and the last time it built me up and gave me new life. How lam strong, work ard, and sleep well." Ayer's Pills are a safe and sure cure for all liver troubles. They are purely vegetable. -cnared by Dr. J. C. Ayer Co., Lowell, Mass., U. S. A.
