SIGNED AND SEALED.

United States Consulate, Sydney, N.S.W.—I, Charles Kahlo, Consul of the United States of America at Sydney and its dependencies, do hereby certify that C. C. Cohen appeared before me this day and acknowledged that he had signed the following instrument as his free and voluntary act. Given under my hand and seal of this Consulate, the day and year above written. Charles Kahlo, U.S. Consul. statement in brief. “ Three years ago injured my leg and kneecap. The knee twice its natural size. The leg contracted and shortened. Could not walk. Thought injury permanent. Used St Jacob’s oil. Both my leg and knee assumed their normal condition. To-day no pain. Can walk as well as ever I did.” *' (Signed) C. C. Cohen.” A SENSIBLE PETITION. One of the features of the Paris Exhibition is tbe handsome prism-shaped stand of Waterbury Watches containing several thousands of these cheap but astonishingly accurate timekeepers. They are all in full going order, and there is scarcely half a minute’s difference in the time to be seen amongst them. It takes two men several hours every morning to wind them up. The stand, which is sumo twenty feet in height, is the subject of much curiosity and admiration. By the way, there is quite a joke in our office over the fact that some of the successful competitors in our sports a fortnight ago, to whom the silver watches fell, have petitioned to have them exchanged for Watorbury’s. Their request is a very sensible one. X have three or four gold and silver watches at home, one of them being a presentation watch from H.E.H. the Duke of Cambridge, whom I once gallantly rescued at the peril of my life in a street scuffle from a ferocious and murderous reporter. But I leave these watches at home, and have carried a Waterbury for years. —Sporting Truth.
