In the month «f March, the great and beautiful steamship •* Cty of Fa', is, ” virile on her voyage from New York 10 Liverpoo’, met with an a-cidci.t by winch her engines'"wire completely disabled, ieawiu her helpless on the sea.

Some, os* man’s in n himry is never riglv from 1 1 ar of Ids mitm Here is a shoit story i .. m fells about himsoJi which will Low v %e mean. He says: “ One ship neve • ak b. cause another is, but a baby : y bs weak because its parents were, or

some of ils ancestors. It is spoken of in the family tint when I was an infant, I did nothing but sleep. Now, a healthy infant ought to sleep most of the. lime, but not all the time. He should laugh, play, cry, kick, and take notice of thing... My mother was bothered about it, ami saw the doctor, who said it was owing to the sluggish sta'e of my liner. Nevertheless, I. lived and grew up an millions of children do. But inherited disease makes its mark sooner or later, according to circumstance!.

“ About five yours ago I began to feel hacl.I didn’t know what was the matter with ine. I had bad taste jn my mouth, a slimy longue and foil langtiidkrin fared, and had no, am-' billon for work? My- appetite failed, and when I did eat, under a sort of compulsion I had great pain after it. I wont on in this way until the spring of 1888, when I had a very severe attack, and vyas treared in Bartholomew’s Hospital for some time, hut I came out still weak, and a little later on 1 was so bad I broke down compleloly, and took to my bed. Matters now looked very serious for mo.

“ Tho first doctor who came to see me was not able to give nay relief, and my people elched another, as my condition had become alarming. I got worse, and was in great agony. I had pains all over mo, but more particularly in the bowels, where the pain was intense. The bowels were stopped, or constipated, and the doctor seemed puzz'ed. One day ho said, ‘ I cannot account for your condition.' I now began ,o think wh t was best to be done. Yet what could Ido ? “ I had heard of a medicine called Mother Seigel’s Cura.tiyg, Syrup which was said lo he a most remarkable .cure for deep-seated and chronic complaints Whore all other remedies wore unavailing, but I bad never tried it, and why should I believe in it? Ye? how strangely we ary sometimes led into pa'hs we have never travelled before !

“ About this lime I picked up a newspaper., and read of a case similar lo my own that had been cured—so the writer said—by Moth r Seigcl’s Syru.pt I decided to risk it, and sent over to Mr Dyer, the chemist, in Acre Lane, West Brixton, and got a bottle, and in ten minutes after taking the first dose I felt relief, “In my excitement and satisfaction I declared This isihe right thing ! “ Af'er taking six bottles I found myself in perfect health. lam a new man. 1 never was in better health in ray life, and all the members pf my, family think of my cure as all the move wonderful owing to my having suffered with liver complain! from my infancy. I will gladly answer any inquiries about Mother Seipel’s Syrup, and what it did for me.” (Signed) W Gokispink, Acre L.mc, Bristol), and 19, i'eebbrook Street, Pimlico. Mr Goldspink is a pork butcher, and is will known and highly respected. In addition to his jiiUeriled weakness of the liver he suffered from deep-seated indigestion and dyspepsia, with an acute attack of constipation, a dangerous and oflen fatal complication. For this almost universal malady —often mistaken for other diseases—Seigel’s Syrup is the only remedy to be relied upon.

A new and ingenious system for indicating the time at wliicJi trains will start on the railways lias been adopted by tho Victorian Railway Commissioners. The trains which depart during the day on any line are represented on a series of dials, which are exact imitations of the dial of an ordinary clock. Each dial represents one train, and the series of dials placed under each other in a vertical line represents the whole of the trains which run on the particular railway mentioned on the time-table. The hands on the dials point to the time at which the trains start, and render it easy for travellers to glean information for which they often search iu vain on the printed time-tables. The dials for different lines are printed in different colors, and are placed in glass cases, so that they cannot be tampered with. How an Obsinate Cough was Cured.— “ An aged ’ady of my acquaintance was for mary years troubled with a Chronic Cough so severe tuat she seldom bad an hour’s quiet atop.. After spending nIJ her substance in m -d’eine, she was persuaded to try Baxter’ a Lung Preserver, which, under God’s blessing, soon cured her. Rev. S. Sellars.” Extract from a Book for Every Home.

The produce of a four acre farm in California consisted of nearly 90001 b of apricots, 4300!b of nectarines, 88001 b of egg plums, 51001 b of silver prunes, 15801 b of French prunes, and about the same quantity of pears an! figs, die net sum realised by the sale being 750d01. That is certainly not bad for a little plot of which the owner and his family did all the work, lint, as if Ibis was no unusual condition of things, the San Francisco Chronicle testifies to having found cherry trees bearing IIGOIb of fruit, and whole plantations 500 lb per tree would be , £SOO to £7OO. From £2O to £IOO per acre seems to be the ordinary re,l turn for e berries, and an example is quoted of dried apricots showing a return of £3BO per acre. Holloway’s Ointment and Pills. — As winter advances and the weather becomes more and more inclement and trying the earliest evidences of ill- healtmust be immediately checked and re moved, or a slight illness may result in a serious malady. Eelaxed and sore ! throat, quinsey, influenza, chronic cough, bronchitis, and most other pulmonary affections will be relieved by rubbing this cooling Ointment into the skin as nearly as practicable to the seat of mischief. This treatment, simple yet effective, is admirably adapted for the removal of these diseases during infancy and youth. Old asthmatic invalids will derive marvellous relief from the use of Holloway’s remedies, which have wonderfully relieved many such safer- rs, and re-established health afterevery other means had signally failed. The following motion, dealing with the question of gambling, and applying it directly to the Civil servants of Now South Wales, has been tabled in tbe Assembly by Mr Hurley,—-“I.
