' ANSWERS TO COEBHSPONDBNTS. J. W. T.— Thank you very much. I am' glad to hate ■ been of ever so little comfort to you. , , ' Fred.— lt is rathdra grave question to put to mo, as the answer may lead .you to decide on your future walk in life, but I will try to answer you with what little knowledge I 'have. It seems a great risk to 1 give up a permanency to follow the chances you hare made Known to me, for in all departments of < art in these days it is a weary struggle 'for bread, unless you have God's gift of genius. You 'want 'time and money at your disposal to enable you to - cultivate your natural; talent. Let me h,ear from you again.' Do not let y our ; ambitious dreams go. 'They will lift you higher than if you were without them; but at the sametime do not sacrifice the ' present for a dream of the future. When you tee . the next rung of the ladder put your foot upon it, fnd lift yourself a little higher towards your goal, but do not remove your foot from* sure resting place 1 .unless the next 'rung be ready to receive you. A life without , aim and effort is a poor affair. , Work- on, but let ypur work be among realities and not with the phantoms that hope conjureo. Hokontji.— Thank you for your kind remarks. Am glad you enjoyed it. • ' FloAa.— Probably it is indigeifcion. Try 10 drops of casoara sagrada after, each meal for a week, then only once a day, before going to bed, till you feel .better. Sobriquet.— (l) No; th« man pays for all these things. (2) Ham, cake, fruit, jellies, &a. Puzzlbd.— l cannot suggest any reason, unless it is that the sugar was beet instead of cane sugar. Eosk.— lt is not; legal for a woman to marry her deceased husband s brother.
