Servian Affairs

The affair that has been causing excitement in Belgrade aad Vienna is » most disagreeable episode. Shoald there be no heir to the Servian Crowp, the dynasty of the Obrenovitches will become extinct on the death of King Alexander, The reigning House of Montenegro has some pretensions to the Servian throne, and there is talk of a Eaßsian scheme for uniting the two States under a single dynasty, which would of conrsfi be entirely under the control of the Czar's Go vernment. Raaaii* and Austria-Hun gary came to an agreement not long ago with regard to affairs in the Near East, and although the terms of the compact are unknown they must surely have anticipated any dispute as to the succession in Sarvia.

Only a Gold, .—— ♦ — I gee yon we not looking very wall to day j what is tbe m»*ter ? "Oh nothing, only a cold in ths nose, bat it will be all right to-morrow." How often do we hear tbe above assertion ? If people only knew the danger of a w'i in tbe n- f', they would hot look upon it us a mere detail. A cold in the hoib is often a foreraaner of • compli cation of ills and so too are damp feet mid chills. In cider to goard against evil effects from colds the body mmst be kept ia a healthy glow. Bile Baans for biliousness will do that for yofl, Thii is their, mode of procedure. They got direct to tbe liver, cleanse that organ thlrboghly, snd set it in good working or<|er. In their journey through tbe body they cause the bowls to disperse tbe unnecessary and impure bile in the stomach and see that just a sufficif-nt quantity of that fluid remains with the patient. Thekidn«yß»nd t© geqnenty the urinary organs are repaired and a foil passage is allowed the blood to proceed on its coarse of circulation. The blood running freely through the body of necessity brings friction or magnitism, and that friction brings warmth. This is what Bile Beans suc ceed in doing, and that is the reason wby they xare invaluable during the winter season.

A f'tw months ago the whole talk in Glasgow wae as to the chances of the Exhibition being a financial suc cess, bot at the end of this week specolation has altogether been re garding the probable surplus which may accrue when a balance is atruck at the end of October. The amount of money dr&wn from the sale of leaaon tickets m&y be said to have defrayed more than half the cost of buildings, while the remainder is be lieved to have been nearly cleared oS by the charges for s| ace, etc. Over and above these sources of revenue, fcherehas been over £20,000 drawn at the gates and by railway coupons, while the sports groand, the water chute, switchback, and bo forth have been providing, sod promise to con tinue to be, little gold mines.
