On Behalf of Insect-feeding Birds.

In spite of the constant complaints of the ravages, by ineecfe pests in our orchards and gardens, little or nothing is done to encourage oar insect feeding birle, writes Mr Edward LovflU, 41 On tram Road, Oroydon, England, in an open letter to the Press, On the contrary, all our care seems to be misdirected in feeding op the tmacbievoGS house sparrow, and other fined or fraife eating birds. For many years T have encouraged the nesting of tittpjce s wrens, robins, and Irdge sparrows in my garden whh the result that my fruit trees are always clean and free from maggots* Dnriag the winter, I feed these birda with suet scraps or other tadfit fat, suspended {roro'tbe branches of trees, or placed in ""tome other cat proof position. ; This food is always pnO near saufcabla nesting boxes, also cat-proof, so that in f pring thpaß charming little birds build their nests in the pieces provided for them, and in return for their winter jood, they keep my trees free from in sect pests. Last year I had six nesta of these ueiefal birds in tny garden, and I am pure, that if my plan la generally adopted, we shall hear a great deal less ©f the ravages by insects, and of the damage done to flowers and peas, and other seeds, by the common houae ■parrw, which bird at present enjoys so much misplaced consideration.

AOUTE LIVER TROUBLE A STORY AT 74. The Case of Mr. H. icBEITII. {By a Speciu.l Reporter.) What a pleasant contrast comfortably situated people afford to their more un fortunate fellows who have had unlimit ed adversities to contend against, and who ar© } consequently, subservient to. the meagre charities of the world. Time and fortune have dealt very leniently with Mr. Hector Mcßeath, who vr&a devoting some attention to the t garden when our reporter called at his resi dence in Gordon-street, Hillside, Dune din. A conversation was entered into, when Mr. Mcßeath said: "I am entering into' my seventy fourth year, yet I feel almost aa young as when I w-ajs in my prime. Having very few worldly carea, and being in 'the best of health, I reckon I ought to be hagpy, and so I am, thank (*od. But I remember a time in my earlier days when I was the most miserable man in Dunedin." " What happened to upsefc you, Mr. Mcßeath?" ■■""My health broke down, and for twelve months I suffered acutely with my liver. I used to think I had a con stitution of iron, but it is surprising how the liver can quickly dissipate Bucb. a notion. My disease came on very quietly, for beyond a continual tired and distressed feeling I did not observe any particular inconvenience from my complaint. A few weeks later I had aching pains in my legs, and it took but very little exercise to make me quite, exhausted. I could cafe bufc poorly, yet I felt as though I was over burdened with food, a suffocating sensa tion also being in my chest, Q Sharp paina were located in my stomach im mediately after meals, and they stayed there and tormented me for hours. In fact, I was hardly ever free from some kind of agony, my back, just a little below the neck, coming in for a fair share. 9 The action of my heart was very irregular, as it used to beat rapidly for a while, and then gradually die away till I feared it was going to stop. A quantity of sour gas rose from the decaying food in my ( stomach, and the smell and taste of it often made me sick. I have often done nothing but belch up wind for fully an hour, and my head —well, it ached so badly that I could not see. Specks appeared be fore my eyes, and the light fairly dazed me. My mouth was in a foul state, with a coated tongue, and I was troubl ed with confinement of the bowels. The rest I got was none too good, aa my sleep was disturbed by a series of ugly dreams. A stabbing pain in my right side made me unable to sit up, while to bend or walk was sometimes murderous torture. My disease piled up one ailment upon another till I be came so irritable that I did not know what to do with myself. AH my nerve power was lost, for I could not keep my limba from shaking if you had paid me. A drumming sort of noise came in my cars, and made me quiio C&t while ib lasted, and, above all, I was frightfully thin and weak. I just felt as though I wanted to die, and thus put a stop to my sufferings." @ " Did you think that death, was your only source of relief?" " I did so, because the medicine thafc was dispensed to me gave me no com fort whatever. My house was like a medical hall with empty medicine bot tles, the contents of which had had no effect. I had no hope of getting belter, aa'it appeared my disease had gone too far into my system. A friend then presented me with a bottle of medicine which he said was bound to do me good. On reading the label I found it was Clements Tonic. After a dose or two I felt a little comforted, and slept better that night. In the morning I ate some breakfast, my pains subsided by degrees, and so I went on till I was all right again. My nervous sys tem was strengthened and my liver re stored to order by Clements Tonic, and I have not required a dose of physic since. Clements Tonic is the best medi cine known to me, therefore you may publish these statements in any way." ® STATUTORY DECLARATION, I, Hkcto".
