THE SUMMER COMPLAINT
1
OF INFANTS
1-101115E1OLP,
Cholera infantum begins with a pro-
fuse„edianh�e. the stomach ;becomes
initaind, and in many cases vomiting and
purging set in. The child rapidly loses
flesh, and is soon reduced to great langoer
and prostration.
Cholera.infanturn can be quickly cured
by the use of Dr. Fowler's Extract of
Wild Strawberry, Mrs. David A. Cleve-
land, Apple River, NS., writes: --"Last
September my little boy, foeyears old,
and littlegirl, two years old, were taken
one afterno6ii with vomiting spells, and
in a feethours they had cholera infantum.
I had Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wile
Strawberry in the house, and. commenced
ting it: The cholera got so bad the
next day, they passed nothingsbut blood.
I kept on using the medicine, and in a few.
days they were cured, I always keep a
bottle in the house, as I don't think there
Is anything better for summer complaint
than Dr. Powlees•Extract of Wild Straw-
berry."
Some dealers may try to sell you
'something else, but for the good of Your
child's health, insist on having "Dr.
Fowler's." It has been on the market
for over sixty-five years, so you are not

LOSSES IN CANA.RIES.
Irreparable Damage to 'Famous In-
dustry By Floods.
The canary breeding industry,
for which Norwich, England, is fern-
-I:me:all ',ever the world, has suffered
irreparable damage,and theusancis
of thestreasured birds of working-
men fanciers in the Heigham dis-
trict are 'clrowne,d. The devastated
Heigham district- was the centre of
-the, canary -breeding industry for
which Norwich is so well known.
The turnover in canaries has not
been less than ;B20,000 a year, and a
large proportion of the 3,000 breed-
ers in .Norwich are working men,
who supplement their wages as boot
and _shoe 'oPeratives and, Mechanics
by the sale of birds.
.The practice was to keep the
birds in a specially •constructed
shed in the back garden, and the
'floods in their rush swept hundreds
of the aviaries away and drowned
ail the birds. • •
Many .famotes strains of caearies
have been wiped out altogether.
One fanCiet, a journeyinan baker,
who had secured. ono cif the best
etraies in the county, has lost the

case of two twin brothers, ozie liv-

a specialist, that the other was

Lesson I.—Jesus walking on the
Sea, Mark 6. 45-56. Golden
Text, Matt. 14. 27.
Verse 45,—Straightway he con-
strained his disciples—Immediately
after the miracle of feeding five
thousand Jesus dispaeched the
twelve, with great urgency, from
the scene. The reason for this is
given by John only (6. 15), who
states that the effect of the miracle
upon the -multitude was such that
they were about to take him by
force and make him king. Jesus
• doubtless perceived that the dis-
ciples would share in this move-
Reent and therefore sent them away
in haste.
Unto the other side to Bethsaida
—They were directed to take a
westerly course across the Lake to-
ward Bethsaida in Galilee, a fishing
village near Capernaum. This vil-
lage is not to be confused with
Bethsaida Tulles, which was on the
northeastern shore and near which
occurred the miracle of the loaves
and fishes. Luke 9. 10. Mattb.ew's
record (14. 22) is simply that they
were to go "to the •other' eider,"
while John (6. 11) says they "were
going over the sea unto Caper-
naum."
Himself sencleth the multitude
away—The state of mind of the
multitude made the situation cri-
tical and necessitated extraordin-
ary precaution such as Jesus alone
could exercise.
46.—Inth the mountain to pray—
One of the mountains near the scene
of the miracle. The necessity for
prayer grew out of the sudden po-
pularitywith which the crowd in-
vested Jesus.
47. When even was come — The
early evening referred to in 6. 36
was from three to six o'clock, while
the late evening here referred to
was from six o'elock until night.

The British Empire holds a, pre-
eminent place amongst the nations
• of the world in the matter of .tee, -
planting, and there is evidence that
it will hold a similar position. in the
matter of tobacco and rubber
growing. eAlready‘tobeeeeo is cul-
tivated in British North Borneo,
India, and Jamaica, while crops
ere also cultiveted in Rhodesia and
Cape Colony. There is noreasoni
moreover, why tobacco should not
be planted in other British tropieal
possessions. Samples of cigars,
made fro'm tobacco grown in Cey-
lon, show highly pr,ornising results.
Rubber, of "course., is extensively
grown m the tropical parts of the
British Empire, and rubber both
from India and the Bahama Islands

night .was divided by the k,omens
into four watches of three hours
each. This was,
therefore, the last
watch, from three to six in the
morning. Their distress is evident
from the fact that they had rowed
about eight hours and had covered
only between three arid four miles.
Walking on the-sea—This miracle
is clearly not to be explained, as
same would attempt to do, by sa,y:
ing that he was walking °it the
share "abeve the sea."
Would have passed by them—It
was probably the deliberate pur-
pose of Jesus to pass them to make
opportunity for testing and in-
structing their faith. s

it inaisdssible to recognize jails,
and naturally they did not expect
to see a person • walking on the
water. Whatever the Jews could

rtiaQ its cost ee 294,000,000—only
four Millions more than the. Setez

at the footof the bill reads as near-
ly as possible £100,000,000.
.An army of skilled workerS, from
engineer to navvy, invaded the isth-
mus ; •millions of pounds' •worth of
the most upsto-datemachinery was
cletnaped on it. and eight years later
the Panama Canal Company was,
hopelessly bankrupt, with debts of
270,000,000, arid only a fifth of its

Then it was that the world heard

of highly-1%dd o mis, who •had

A KNIGHTLY RING.
How Young Italian King Ruled
His Spanish. Subjects. •
The numerous .experiments tried
• and rejected by theeSpanish nation
during the last century included the
short-lived government of 1871-3,
when a very worthy prince, Ama-
deus of Savoy, second son of the
great Victor Emmanuel, undertook
the difficult business of being Wing
• of Spain. Amadeus had to contend
not only with the Republicans a,ncl
with those who desired the restorae
-Eon of the Bourbon dynasty, but
also with the country's reetecl pre-
judice against "the foreigner." In
a book entitled "The Secret Hise
tory of the Court of Spain" are
given instances of that bravery that
won ffir the young Italia,n king the
admiration, at least, of his Spanish
subjects. -
On a hot evening the king and
queen. were returning to the palace
after listening to !some music in the
• gardens of the Buen Retiro, Sud-
denly a vehicle opposed the passage
of their earriage by crossine just
in front. The coa,chman cheeke% the
horses and prevented a collision,
but just then a shot was dire.eted
toward the royal paa•ty.
At this the. king sprang boldly to
his feet, and exclaimed : ,
"Here is the king! Fire at him., -
not at the ethers -I"' - •
But no further attempts were
made -at. essassination, and the re
-
thine reached the palace in safety.
• To the king the late hours of the
court were particularly disagree-
able. At work at six in the laiorn-
ing, he rang for his breakfast at
eight. Astonishment was on the
lackey's face; it had never bee -n
customary for their ex -majesties to `
be served before eleven o'elock
So Amadeus, to avoid friction;
adopted the habit of going to a cafe
for his early meal.
Thus the maids, who sally forth
in Ma,cIrid with baskets on their
arms, would often return to tell
their mistresses how they • had
brushed against his majesty as they

In one of these early peregrina-
tions Amadeus notieed that Caste.=
lar, the famous leader of the Riti-
publica,n party, raised his ht to
him. Surprised at this sign of re-
spect frem the enemy, the young
man stopped, and said that he wen-
