One-fourth.of.tHe" European troops and two-thirds , of„.the doctors are doAvn Afith it. General Wolseley and staff are compelled "V: to go nnder canvas, the Greek house OAvners I demanding such exorbitant prices for their ; : premises. ■ Scanderom, the port of Aleppo, is name 3 as the probable point England wishes to, acquire on the main laud of Asia Minor, r It is now as tood as settled that for the present" the Foreign Office is to have Cyprus, and that,„ : the affairs of our neAV dependency are to be ■ ' managed by a special branch, nnder the control of Mr Phillip Currie, C.B. The reason Riven lor. : this decision is that to claes Cyprus as a colony Ai-ould pro!-ably clash with the seignioral rights of The Sultan, his suzerainty being still supreme, and our occupation only conditional and tern-. porary. Our admission of this principle should ;":' silence foreign neighbours who still question, the honesty of our intentions. Italy is still sore, and, in a measure, irreconcilable; while -Trance, if she has agreed to let the matter -rnpofficial.j', cannot retrain from humorous criticism, •which contains a certain sting. The Parisian;comic. Press is still full of allusions to Cyprus. One depicts the British soldier sending up the Turkish funds by hoisting a pasha on the gahows; another gives us a British genera! reviewing the garrison of Cyprnß-^seYerel regiments of bottles. Meanwhile the , material advancement of Cyprus pro gresses rapidly. Truefltt has already .. ' established a branch upon' the island. Spiers and QPond, most energetic of Al_.trali._3 caterers, propose to open buffets everywhere for the sale of iced drinks, an article of con sumption iust now in very eager demand there ; while enterprising promoters are already flooding tbe market with prospectuses of Cyprian banks and companies, whioh promise very speedily to case our capitalist of a large amount of their superfluous cash. Private letters from the officers who h-Te accompanied Sir Garnet Wolseley to Cyprus and th^ public despatches of Mr Forbes, th." graphic correspondent; of the "Daily News, all concur in describing the island as a very deso- ■ late and woebegone place. Tiie dearth of vegetation was tbe most striking Deculiarity , observed, and it Avas not till Nicosia.the capita, was reached, that anything approachingtoa ; green tree was to be seen. .No doubt thedis afforestation of Cyprus is a proximate cause of its present unhealthi'-esa, still more of the paucity of its rainfall. And one of.the first, acts of the new and energetic administration must be the plantation of suitable trees. Fore- , , most of these is the well-known Eucalyptus , ; globulus, the Blue Gam of Australia,'iV/hichhas worked such -wonders already,'.in'.^cop batag malaria iv such unhealthy districts.".as; ™ Pontine Marshes, and which will soon do the same for Lei_kosia, Larnaca, and: Famago.ta. Besides this there is the Australian acacia, Avbich )>hs been tried already' in Algeria, > Avhere the rapid growth of, its bark nas niade it also extremely useful as a tonree ; of supply of tannin. Lord Salisbury pointed out at the , Beaconsfleld banquet,,-. the alacrity with which British rule was accepted in1 $;' Cyprus. ?'Not one voice, not one hand was raised to resist the transfer. The proclamghM r of Queen Victoria's name was received 6T07-. where with enthusiasm; <* hile other nations, . | perhaps militarily more powerful than ourselves, g have to struggle with th c deep reluctance ol tne | people to undergo the blessings'they prote'-W § offer." ■ " ' ' I

Sir Henry Thomson, Surgeon and Professor of Chemical Surgery to University College Hos pital (see the "Lancet," January 13, 1872), re commends its use on account of its valuable Aperient, Diurktio. and Absorbant quali ties:—"lt does not produce colic nor dißturb digestion. On the contrary it furthers digestion and promotes the appetite, its properties in this respect having earned for it from the country people in the neighbourhood the name of ' Appetite-water."

After the fire has drawn up', Coke may be added in small hemps .(not in large masses), either alone or mixed with Coal A fire made in this why is better for not being stirred, so" long aa".heres ".here is space between the fragments of fuel for-a free current of air. , The value .of CpKEas a fuel and as a means ol economy of Coal is hardly appreciated sufficiently. ' A' mixed fuelj of Coal and Coke is invaluable forthe ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those of cooking, as it absorbs the smoke or in flammable gases given off by Coal during combustion, and .rendqrs the TYe brighter,, clearer, and hotter, than it can be made by' any other means.—[Advt.]
