In the time of the Crimean War, says an old man of Albury, Victoria, I was a powder-monkey " working in Woolwich Arsenal. Owing to there being a super-abundance of cartridges, about oO of us boys were promoted to the Royal Laboratory, to do woodturning, in the shape'of making saucers to hold the shot and shell to which they were bonnd for security. While this work was proceeding Queen Vic toria, the Prince Consort, Prince of M ales, Princess Royal, and other members of the Royal family paid a. visit to Woolwich Arsenal. 1 was on the outsido lathe, and the Roval party were_clo.se to me, I heard the Prince of Wales say to Colonel Boxer, superintendent of Woolwich Arsenal, ''l think, Colonel Boxor, tho boys have very hard work, as they are perspiring so." "No, Your Royal* Highness," he answered, "the perspiring is not from hard work, hut the blushes of funk." I saw the Queen and Prineo Albert smile, but the Prince of Wales looked serious, and I think it was the first time he expressed himself in regard to labour. I know I was glad when the Royal party had passed by. and I had time to wipe the "blushes of funk" from my face.

RATIONAL INDIGESTION CURft. Food must be eaten in sufficient quantity, and must be digested, and be converted into blood. Nature niakee this one of her most imperative laws of hfe. During the process ot digestion food is entirely changed m composition by the aotion of the juices of the internal organs through which it passes. In the mouth it is thoroughly mixed with the saliva. Then it is swallowed, and enters the lach, where it is acted upon by gastric juices, and becomes partly liquified; From the stomach it passes to the smaller intesfcr which is about 18 feet in length—s there certain portions of the food are liquified by the bile and other juices, ahe food thus made fluid is in a condition to be absorbed iubo and become a constituent part of the blood. The indigestible portion of the food is discharged into the larger intestine, whence it is in turn expelled from the body together with other refuse matter.

Just as certainly as that it is necessary to life that food must be absorbfu ?!' llkeW!£e ' is it essential that *he blood must be in a condition to absorb the food. Torpidity of the liver is the chief cause of nearly every case of indigestion, and when the liver is torpid the kidneys are generally sympathetically affected. The blood, which should be transformed cleansed, and filtered by the kidneTß and liver, then contains uric and biliary poisons, and is therefore a feebla absorbent of nutriment. This condition of the blood reacts upon the nervous system of the digestive organs, and prevents the flow and altera the quality of the digestive juices. The entire nerve energy of a \jotson sullering from indigestion ia weakened, owing to the contaminated condition, of the blood, and the general feeling of mental and physical depression which is experienced during an attack of dyspepsia, is due, to this cause.
