and its nests. It is a bird that looks
very much like our common eat -bird,
except that Lt hasshort, stubby wings,

the bird itself that is noticeable, but
its nests. They are built of mud and
fine grasses, generally insome high,

nest resembles a kettle turned bottom
upward, with a hole in the side of it,
The inside of the nest is divided into

Newspaper edi'ors are almost as

editor or a doctor to seriously consider
the merits honestly claimed for a
medicine,

such a marvellous revelation to the
most sceptical as the South American
Nervine Tonic. It has Beyer failed

The South American Nervine
Tonic rebuilds the life forces by its
direct action on the nerves and the
nerve centres, and it is this notable

variety no other remedy can possibly

him to the test, and accordingly for-

copper nails, some wood clippings, i
piece of broken glass, an old cracked
china cup, some wire, and a few crib-
bage -board pegs. The box was scone-
eanied by an extraordinary request
that Curzon should transform these
unppromising articles into otimeplepo,
It was a challenge, and one that few,
watohmakers would have cared to take
nip. But it would have taken a harder
task( than this to daunt Jules Curzon.
He set to work on the unpromisingma-
terials, and out of them fashioned a
watoh that was quickly despatched to
the. tsar.
Just night hours after he began his
work of transformation the evatolf
started on its journey to Russia, where
