Verse 17. After three days, If, as
is probable, tine Jewish mode of reck-
oning is here adopted, this interval was
not as long as three or four days, but
it was all'thktt the %etalons apostle could
spare for rest after travel, for inter -
coarse with friends, and to settle his
own lodging place. The chief of the
Jews, The repnesente.Live man. Rome
had a large population of Jews. When,
some years before this, Jerusalem sent
fifty inen lo complain of themisrule
of Arahelaus, no less thea eight thou-
sand Jewish' residents of Rome, sup-
ported that complaint. The Emperor
Claudius, had, IL is true, banished male
Jews Froin Rome, but his law was not
tong operative, and throughout Nero's
reign the Jews in Rome multiplied and
prospered; To the " chief of the Jews"
Paul now makes four statements con-
cerning himself: 1, In spite of bis.
chains and his alrpeal to the emperor 1,
he had been neither unpatriotic nor
irreligious as a Jew; 2. Roman courts
had declared him innocent from any
breach of Roman order ; 3. Sia dad ap-
pealed to Caesar, not against hiscoun-
trymen, but as the only means of sav-
ing his life; 4. His only crime was his
belief in Jesus as the Messia,b, and in
his resurrection as a, proof of his Mes-
siahship and of a general resurrection.
Paul's old life heel cepsed on the day
when he was rescued from a Jerusalem
mob by the Roman captain. Since then
the weeks had hurried past -weeks of
intense interest and varied dangers;
indeed, the most venturesome part of
his life was tucked in between that riot
in Jerusalem and this arrival at Rome.
It must have been a great privilege
for him again to address his country-
men. He takes up the accusations where
the mob laid them down, and denies
the reports which he assumes have
come from Jerusalem to Rome, Was I

tion to make a five per cent. reduction

out the north of England have already
declared that they will resist a reduc-
tion in their wages, it seems probable
that a strike affecting 200,000 persons,
which may last for months, entailing

NORTH-WEST TERRITORIES.
Opening or the Provincial 'Legislature -
SpccClt Front the. Throne.
A despatch from Winnipeg, says: -
The third session of the third Legisla-
ture of the North-West Territories op-
ened at Regina, on Thursday. Thera
was only a small attendance of mem-
bers. Lieut -Governor Mackintosh, in
his speech from the throne made re-
ference to the many -expressions of
loyalty throughout the West to her
Majesty during the month of jubilee.
He was happy to be able to congratu-
late them upon the many evidences of
prosperity to be seen all over the Ter-
ritories, as a result of a bountiful
harvest, and the sound condition and
good prospects of all our important
industries.
The wonderful discoveries of miner-
al wealth in hitherto unexplored parts
of the Territories, and the almost ahs
solute certainty of establishing ready
means of access to the new gold fields
from the settled portions of the coun-
try, promise most beneficial results in
the way of opening up new markets
for our staple products, while the
building of the Crbw's Nest railway
will enable stook -raisers and agricul-
turists to avail themselves of the con-
stant and increasing demand for food
supplies of all kinds from the rich mine
ing regions of the neighbouring Pro-
vince of British Columbia.
Continuing, His Honor said: -"Since
the last meeting of the T egistature im-
portant changes in the constitution of
the Territories have been; made by. the
Act passed et the last session of the
Federal Parliament. In acaprdance
with the provisions of that Act )have
chosen an Executive Council, and can
now congg'eatulnta the Territories upon
having obtained a cainpletely respon-
sible system of government..In canoe-
quenoe of this change a reorganization
of the, offices of the Government and
the mention of public departments for
the carrying on of the public service
will be Lound necessary, •end measures
having those ends in view will be

solid good health, and if appearances

" There's no tolling where I would

his experiences as a very sick man.

relief. Just about when my condition

seemed most hopeless, I heard of a
wonderful cure effected in a case
somewhat similar to mine, by the
Great South AmericanNervine Tonic,
and I finally tried that. On the first
day of its use I began to feel that it
was doing what no other medicine
had done. The first dose relieved the
distress completely. Before night I
actually felt hungry and ate with an
appetite such as I had not known for
months, I began to pick up in
strength with surprising rapidity,
slept well nights, and before I knew
it I was eating three square mettle

ISir. Frank Bauer's experience is
that of all others who have used the
South American Nervine Tonic. Its
instantaneous action in relieving dis-
tress and pain is due to the direct
effect of this great remedy upon the
nerve centres, whose fagged vitality
is energized instantly by the very first
dose. It is a great, a wondrous cure
