On the morning of the day when these notes were written ttNew York newspaper told of the nomina- tion of a .Hungarian orthodox Ilebrew^ as a candidate for alderman in New York.

IL is an illustration of the elatorate formally of the He- brew prayers, se many of which seem to lose their efflcauy if they are not seen of men. The "corners of the streets" were public places, and these Pharisees were not only noticeable by the very fact of standing there, but they recited their prayers aloud, and often had the tallith, or veil of pray- er, over their heads.

The Punishment Inflicted on Mr. lauul'n' ht `1•hibel — 1110 1 yt'sialit InJureil — lies cued nt the Last Moment. A special cable from London says:— The Chronicle publishes a vivid de- scription of the torture inflicted in Thi - bet on Mr. Landor, the British explor- er, who sought to reach l:hasea, and his two faithful Hindu servants, all the other members of the party having deserted their leader. The following is a sample of the tortures inflicted:— The victims were bound naked to a tree and slashed and bruised, the cords cutting deep into their wrists and ank- les. Mr. Lander•'s oyes were burned with red hot irons. He was bound for hours on a rack, and twisted and wrenched out of fill semblance to a man. He was made to ride 80 miles on a saddle stuck Rill of spikes, One of these entered the base of his spinal e.olumn and shattered the nerve centers." His flesh wee reduced to lacerated jelly. An attempt was made to draw from bin or his• men some expression of pain, but in vain, 1080. Landor hast quite lost one eye, though the doctors say in time sight may return. Thai hot irons were held just close enough to his eyes not to touch the skin, with the result that they were withered. Day after day this was practised, but no sign of feeling were they able to extract. Laudor's alines and wrists are still ICvi& front the cords with whish be was bound on the rack: A photograph of the victims after their release shows them. to be unrecogniz— able, When the rescuers, two Eng- lishmen and a Hindu, reached the suf- ferers, after the thrilling adventures. Landor was within a few hours of death. His reason had already gone. Never for a moment during all the horrible time did Landor forget his photographs and sketches. His outfit has now been given up and his pre- cious diary and maps of surveys se- cured. Many of the instruments with which he was provided by the Royal Geographical Society he was obliged to bury in the Himalayas. There, they will lie for a time until some brave man recovers them. Landor himself will probably never be able to return. IN THE KHYBER PASS. . 'rhe Afeldlis Are Again at Work (tiring Upon Escorts.

The news that General Sir Wil- liam Lockhart, the oonrmander of the British forces on the Indian frontier, has postponed his jour- ney homeward in the expeclatton of a settlement with the Afridts, who are seemingly desirous of submitting, points to the early csonulusion of the most serious of the quartette of "little wars" in which Great Britain is 'en- gaged., and which will probably absorb the whole of the budget surplus.

Newspaper edieors aro almost as soeptical as the average physician on the subjeob of new remedies for sick people. Nothing short of a series of most remarkable and well authenti- cated cures will incline either an editor or a doctor to seriously consider the merits honestly claimed for a medioine. Hundreds of testimonials of won- derful recoveries wrought with the Great South American Nervine Tonio were received from men and wanton all over the country betore physicians began to prescribe this great remedy in chronic cases of dyspepsia, in- digestion, nervous prostration, sick headache, and as a tonin 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 puff for his patrons as a matter of business, but in only a single instance, and that one warrant- ed by his own personal experience, has he given a testimonial over his own signature. No other remedy ever offered the public has proved snob a marvellous revelation to the most sceptical as the South American Nervine Tonic. It has never failed in its purpose, and it has cured when doctors and other medicines were tried in vain, "I was prostrated with a pardons larly severe attack of 'La Grippe,'" says Mr. Colwell, t• and could find no relief from the intense trains and die. tress of the malady. Y suffered clay and night. Tho doctors did not help mo, 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 I took relieved me. I improved rapidly and grew stronger every clay. Your Nervine Tonio 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 which distinguishes it from every other remedy in existence. The most eminent medical authorities now concede thatfully two-thirds of all the physical ailments of humanity arias 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- mentrequired, and that is why its invigorating effeots upon the whole system are always felt immediately. For all nervous diseases, for generale debility arising from enfeebled vital. ity, and for stomach troubles of every variety no other remedy ran possibly take iia place. Sold by G. A. Deadman.
