A GIRL IN DANGER.

A COFFEE PALACE AFFAIR. Hearing that a young lady residing at Ihe Victoria Coffee Palace, Nolan street, Maryborough, Victoria, had been in danger of her life under peculiarly distressing circumstances, a reporter called upon her at the establishment, which is noted for its koine-like comfort and moderate tariff. Miss Minnie Lothlcan gave the following particulars : " 1 am twenty-four years of age," said she, " and a native of Bendigo. It is quite true," she continued, in answer to a specific inquiry, '• that I have been in danger of losing niy life, though, judging by my appearance, you would scarcely think so. When I was eighteen I "was attacked by influenza, and subsequently by pneumonia. No one thought I would recover, and so severe were my sufferings that partial paralysis set in. By degrees the paralysis left me, but I became anasmic. I felt utterly run down* my face and my lips were pallid and bloodless; I frequently fainted, and on hot days could scarcely put one foot before the other. I was depressed in spirits, and the anaemia seemed to be developing into consumption. I was placed under medical treatment, but only temporary bsnelit was received. Several so-called tonics wore then tried, but they proved useless. I read in the newspapers how Dr Williams's pink pills had cured many cases of ameruia and I began taking them. After the first bos I felt brighter and happier. As I continued with them the color returned to my face my eyes and skin were brighter, and I began to put on flesh. My blood became enriched and in every vein and nerve I felt the benefit I was receiving. Six boxes completely cured me. I am now quite strong and plump. I eat and sleep well, and take a real pleasure

The French Administration advises the telegraph Department that messages in coda language for Venezuela are prohibited, hut are accepted for Caracas, La Guayra, Puerto Cabello, Coro, and Maracaybo. The Victorian issue of Commonwealth postal cards has proved a great success, no fewer than 250,000 in all six, States being now in circulation. The department intends to continue to print tho cards so long as the public demand warrants. With regard to the £1 and £5 series of slightly post-marked Victorian stamps, the supply is running very low, and no more will be printed. Victoria (says the 'Age') is the only colony Which has gratified philatelists by substituting a light post-mark for the objectional wood " specimen,' in order to prevent the special sets now on tale getting into circulation before June 30. Not an Amateur.—Mrs Fowler: "So you have been sitting up with a sick man. eti? John, can you look rae in the- face and say that?" Mr Fowler: "Why, of course I can. Nellie, what do you take me for—just an ordinary amateur liar?" Pretty Near.—Phrenologist: "This bump denotes restlessness. I think you are something of a rolling stone." Am I right?" Smith: " You're not so far off; but it was a rolling pin that caused tka& bump."
