— The dearest hotel in the world is the new Hotel Sfc. Regis, in New York City. It is a palace more costly than that of any reigning monarch. The lowest charge for a room is £3 10s per day, exclusive of meals. — To encourage working people to establish homes of their own, Norway has founded a bank for working men. It lends money at 3g and 4 per cent., and gives the borrower 42 years in which to pay tli© loan. The total cost of th© house must not exceed £160, and the area of land must not ba more than five- acres.

Ponder, & Profh BY A CARETUL PERUSAL. The Case of Mr. J. BLAQK. (BY A SPECIAL BBPOETER.) - The consoling facts in a disagreeab.it situation are that real cEianges of an ap' pjeciable 'character are to be obtained if th'i bright means are adopted for effecting th* desired ends. The' trouble usually begint when the right means are being sought for. so to help those who require enlightenment on certain matters Mr. James Black, of No. 76, Forth-Btreet, Dunedin, soy*': — v " I daresay there are hundreds of peopli who suffer in the same way as I did, and who have no more idea of what & splendid medicine Clements Tonic is than I had wheir I was ailing for «ix months tlirough my liver and kidneys being out of order ; and now that I am tetter, it would not be going out of my way to let them benefit by mv experience. During my term of^sicknesi one of my greatest drawbacks was Pine losi of my appetite, which became s» poor tha: I seemed to lose all inclination for rood, and I could not enjoy what I did ea>, especially in the first part of the* day, when I had a very bitter taste in my mouth to begin with." «. „-,.-- " What, sort of a sleeper were you in those days ? ;) asked the reporter who bad called to makp er.quuies. " A %'eiy indifferent- one, as I continued to be restless most "of -the nights, generally dropping off towards morning, and when I woke up I felt heavy and languid, as if ray' 1 sleep had done me no good, besides being ao. - depressed in spirits that I took no interest! in my work and disliked the idea of tackling it. I felt completely done up, just like a man whose vitality was all wasted away ; and occasional bilious headaches, in- the mornings particularly, made things more unpleasant still. My breakfast was nearly always retched up again, and I had a feeling in my stomach as if there was .nothing but wind inside it— a matter which not only provoked discomfort, but which some amounted to distinct paiu. My loins, . I were in a very tender condition, for if I stooped for a little while they ached so much that -it was irksome to straighten : myself up again ; but at all times' there was. a feeling of intense weariness right through my body, which was a source of much dis- ' tress to me. Some days the lassitude was/ so great that I was practically helpless to do any work, no matter how much I tried. md as time wore on I .noticed that my nerves were not as steady, as they had forcnerly been ; but I suppose it it only natural for one's nervous system to become affected when there is such an extreme falling off in strength as was the case with me. t was getting pretty well tired of being in that wretched condition month after month, I can tell you, and how much longer I would have remained like that only for Clements Tonic it ia hard to say, bufe I am none the less thankful to that) remedy for putting my system into thorough working order like it iidL^The way I came to use Clemen tB i Tonic was through reading somebody's tesi timonial, so it is only fair that I shouhj ; lielp other sufferers by giving tniue, and is ' iloing so I cjyn conscientiously say that Clements Tonic is a certain cure for suab ailments as I had. My food supply beicg sut down owing to my loss of appetite wi^i a. matter whioh Clements Tonic quicW-jr. overcame, for I began to eat heartily soon, after starting on that medicine, and left' effects upon my digestive organs could nob been better. The weakening fitß oi retching stopped,- and I awoke wir.Jj a wholesome palate every morning #"«O sleeping soundly all night. My biiijui headaches did not trouble me at all after a further use of Clements Tonic, and I could feel an increase of vitality in my body as each day went by." " You would their be able to work with a better grace." " Rftther, and you may bet I was glad to be rid of the wretched feelings of languidness that had afflicted me so long. Before long I felt like a new man, with my nerves greatly strengthened and my spirits as bright as possible through all my achea and weakness having passed away. I have lived ia Dunedin since 1860, excepting a few years in other parts of the colony, and I recommend the use of Clements Tonic to all my suffering friends. You may publish these facts in any way you please. " STATUTORY DECLARATION.
