A London, Eng., despatch says; -.One of the most disastrous fires -in Lon- don's history since the great fire of 1000, broke out in a large block of buildings lying eastward oC Alders- gate street, and between that thor- oughfare and Red Cross street, just after one o'clock on Friday afternoon, The flames were fanned by, a strong wind, and wore fed by highly Inflam- mable stocks of fancy goods, and flimsy dress materials oC all descriptions, crowding every floor of six -storey buildings in the old streets, in view of the coming Christmas trade, Conse- quently the conflagration gained head- way with sttrprising rapidity and was scop far beyond any possibility of be- ing checked by the few, engines early on the spot. For four hours anda half the flames had their' own' way, and it was only atter more tban a hundred engines had worked an hour. that the chief of the fire brigade sent out the signal tbat the fire was under control. This was at 5.45 p.m. When the good news became known nearly 50 ware- houses and a dozen or, more minor structnres had either vanished or re- mained only in blackened walls, a chaos of fallen girders, and smoking piles of bricks and stone, SCENE OF THE OUTBREAK. 5 • .l:tamsell street was the scene of the outbreak of the fire, which was due to an explosion in connection witb a gas engine on the premises of 'Waller, Brown & Company, mantle manufac- turers, et No. 90 an that thoroughfare. Their large factory was crowded with girls when the fire broke out, and in- stantly became the scene of a panic, the frightened operatives, with many screams, rushing to the roof of the building, then recrossing to other build- ings, and so effecting their escape, while the flames were pouring out of the basement, In ]ess than a quarter of au hour the flames had enveloped the adjoining warehouses, and thence they leaped across the street to an enormous paper warehouse, which was fully alight in less than ten minutes. • This time it was evident to the fire- men that they were taco to face with a great disaster, and a general alarm was sent out. Then from all the fire sta- tions, even from those quite five miles from the scene of the disaster, engines were hurrying to the spot, and the police gathered about the neighbour- hood in great force. This display of strength upon the part of the police was required, as the crowd, swelling in size every moment, soon numbered tens of thousands, and the firemen re- quired every possible freedom of ac- tion, as their fight was one of great difficulty owing to the narrowness of the OLD CROOKED STREETS. which are the feature of that part of London, combined with the height of the warehouses, which cut off the fire - ellen from all fair chance of confining the outbreak. Firemen had repeatedly to be rescued by the comrades by the aid of the fire escapes from buildings which had caught fire after the firemen had mounted to their roofs to fight the Mimes in adjoining structures. Tho rescue of operatives by the fire- men, the hurrying of hosts of clerks who were trying to save hooks and valuable papers from the fire, and the rushing here and there of many em- tooplaceses who of were attemptingcarry or other valuables, added to the con- fusion+. Then, again, the heat was so terrific 'that several firemen were obliged to direct their operations under showers of teeter slowly poured upon them. But in spite of the exertions of the firemen tine fire crept on very steadily, until Nichols square, which is situated at the far end of ]lamsell street, was reached. Al a little after 2 o'clock a dozen hose pipes with a 12 - foot spread poured water into the blaze from an opposite toot from, the street below, and from the burning premises themselves, but 11 did not seem to have any effect, The water rushed out of the windows and from the ground floor like it- rrwhile ate' Mall the higher and higher, and as the floors fell in, the place Still blazers, a gigan- 1mr' 1laed of one 01 the greatest fires on record, Two acres of buildings had been ruined, s LATER.

We have spoken of the joy of the Philippians; Paul's joy will be fulfilled by the knowledge that they bre perfectly developed in these Christian graces and virtues, "Fulfil " means " make full." The Philippians were a source of constant joy to Paul; his epistle to them has been fitly called a love letter, for in very few letters of the same brevity are there to be found so many endearing phrases. The third verse of the first chapter—"I thank my 0,04 upon every remembrance of you"—sounds the keynote of the epist Ile. Beet, much as he loved them and proud as he was of them, he could not help observing that "they did not walk in perfect unity." if now they will so walk his joy will be "fulfilled," filled full, completed, jleing of one ac- cord. 3tarmonized.

SIX DOSES ?RLL CONVINCE THE MOST INCI EDULOU9. EDITOR COLWELL, 01 Newspaper edi*ors are almost as sceptical as the average physician on the subject of new remedies for sick people. Nothing short of a series of moat remarkable and well authenti- cated cures will incline either an editor or a doctor to seriously consider the merits honestly olaimed for s. medicine. Hundreds of testimonials of won- derful recoveries wrought with the Great South American Nervine Tonic were received from men and women all over the country betore physicians began to prescribe this great remedy is chronic cases of dyspepsia, in- digestion, nervous prostration, sick headache, and as a tonic for build- ing up systems sapped of vitality through protracted spells of sick- ness. During his experience of nearly a quarter of a century as a newspaper publisher in Paris, Ont„ Editor Col- well, of The Paris Review, has pub- lished hundreds of columns of paid medicine advertisements, and, no doubt, printed many a gracefully - worded pull' for his patrons as a matter of business, but in only a single instance, and that one warrant- ed by his own pe•sonal experience, bas lie given a testimonial over his own sirnaturo.

I suffered day and night. The doctors did not help me, and I tried a number of medi- cines, but without relief. About this time I was advised to try the South American Nervine Tonic, Its effects were instantaneous. The first dose E took relieved me. I improved rapidly and grew stronger every day. 'Your Nervine Tonic cured me in a single week." 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- feature otable feature which distinguishes it from every other remedy in existence. The most eminent medical authorities now concede that fully two-thirds ofall the physical ailments of humanity arise from exhaustion of the nerve forces. The South American Nervine Tonic acting direct upon the nerve centres and nerve tissues instantaneously supplies them with the true nourish- ment required, and that is why ito invigorating effects upon the whole system are always felt immediately'„ For all nervous diseases, for general debility arising from enfeebled viteJe ity, and for stomach troubles of every variety no other roatedy can possibly take its place. man& 1VIoOoll himself?
