THE LATE WILLIAM EIVART GLADSTONE.
CHARACTER SKETCH.
In a character se.eteh. entitled "Glad -
stone's Seienee of Life.' :Mr. W. T. Stead
lest year wrote of the great English
Commoner ,
Besides his religion and his wire, the
two outside influences which kept
elle Gladstone in perennial youth by
mintrounng the worry of life and lub-
Heating the rapidly revolving elatiele of
this human dynamo. Mr. Gladstone had
various habits which conduced greatly
to bis longevity and physical vigor.
First of these angeestionebly is the
gift of sleep. a, gift he shared in com-
mon with .Napoleon aud other notable
commanders in history, Mr. Glad-
stone throughout the whole of his life
has had sleep at instant cenunand; he
ceulit go to sleep at a moment's notice,
and. what is more remarkable, wake up
bright and fresh within ten minutes of
going to sleep. lie has always been a
famous sleeper; his nightly allowance
of sleep es fixed at seven boars. When
Mr. Gladstone lays his head on his pil-
low he is able to shut hie mind off
frora all the business of life; when he
goes to bed it is to sleep and he sleeps
with all his might.
After his faculty for sleep must be
mentioned the methorlical regularity.
the almost automates persistenee with
which he adhered to habits which he had
found beneficial to his health, Alr.
Gladstone's body was like a thermom-
eter; it was adjusted to a certain time
and kept so year in and year out with-
out a sbadow of variation, als order-
ly mind possossed a. horror of unpune-
tuality. and the endless uncertainty
that follows the leek of fixed rule. -Net
that he was a martinet or a pedant,
hut he took care of hie health. A says
ing of his that every pieee of meat
should be bitten thirty-two times is one
of the many institnees which might be
cited as to the attention he pays to
smell things.
Another thing which might perhapa
be classified as merely another ;these of
the seam faculty, but one which never-
theless helped to prolong his vigor, was
that he sedulously eschewed the prac-
tice of proraiseuons newspaper read-
ing. Arthur Balfour, the present lead-
er of the House of Commons, has al-
ways made a point of never reading a
newspaper at all unless he is coanpelled
to do so, a rule which has certainly its
advantages. but which could hardly be
adopted by anyone less audacious or
less -happily constituted than Mr, Bal -
e'er. He told me once that not only
did it save a great deal of time to let
your newspaper reading be done by oth-
er people. but it was so muoli more in.
teresting to hear things at first hand
for yourself instead of taking them sec -
end hand from newspaper reporters.
Mr. Gleulsttne in the matter of news-
paper reading stood midway between
Mr. Balfour and Mr. Bright. Mr. Bal-
four read nothing. Mr. eright read ev-
ery word of a morning newspaper, de-
voting regularly two hours a day to
its perusal. Mx. Gladstone usually
reads inc newspaper regularly, It us-
ed to be The Pell Mall Gazette before
it changed hands, and latterly it has
been The Westminster Gazette, The
Titttes Mr. Gladstone bas never read
regularly, I remember him telling me
in 1877 that he never looked at The
Times for any other reason excepting
to read the telegrams whiles Mr. W. 3,

it is almost impossible to start any
sulaject or conversation which
Gladstone cannot more than hold his
awn. Admirals in the navy have told
nee how amazed they have been when
seated next him at dinner they have
ventured to raise some question relat-
1 ing to the eervice. Mr. Gladstone,
they said. seemel to know more about
than they did, at least w henever it
was a question of staaistieseven al-
though the statistics related to the
num ite. of stokers (n the fleet or the
average height and weight of sailors
in the navy. There is a tradition to
the offset that on one occasion, when
M. Chevalier, the eminent French eco-
nomist, was invited to Downing street
to breakfast. he (Arse away steely dis-
appointed, for Mr. Gladstone and Mr.
Bright happened to raise the subject of
corns. discussing chiropody in ail its
branches, with a wonderful array of
personal experience and literary re -
femme which bewildered the French-
man. who at first was under the 11-
lusion that the Prime Minister and
the great free trader were engaged
in the discussion of the earn laws.
Wide as are the interests of this
lite, Mr. Gladstone is not content
therewith, and he is devoting his de-
clining years to u restatement ot his
theory of the next life. The last post-
card r had from hine—and Mr. Glad-
stone always uses posteards—was to ex -
Prams the great interest he felt in
reading some articles dealing withtha
results of psychical research published
in Borderland, and promising to refer
to the subject of spiritism when he
came to revise his article on immor-
telity. Add to all thaw things the
fact that err. Gladstone has always
lived a country life when he could gat
the opportunity. Down at Hawarden
in the midst ef the stately park which
his wife inherited froni her father, he
has ever shown the keenest enjoyment
of the pleasules of rural life. Not
that he has devated himself to prac-
tical agriculture. He is interested in
the subject, no doubt. and has done
what he could to raise the standard of
farming in his own neighborhood, but
his interest in agriculture was more
that of the observer thee of the ex-
pert.
His exploits as a wood -cutter have
attained a world wide notoriety, and at -
though it may be a mistake to imagine
he was always chopping down trees,
nevertheless the feet that he coulafind
an immense fascination in the joys of
telling timber shows in What trial he
must have kept his muscles, and how
carefully he has nursed and developed
his strength. He was always a very
rapid walker, but now he seldom walks
more than three or four miles a day.
Putting all things together they ex-
plain how it is that Mr. Gladstone in
the midst of the turmoil turnioul 01 party
tics has ever been able to preeeeve an
Nimble and tranquil soul, while his
observance of the laws of health, re-
gularly exercised, and ^the continual
variety at his interests, enabled. him
to keep his mind brightly furnished to
the last.

Science has fatly established the
fact that all the nervous energy of our
bodies is generated by nerve centres
located near the base of the brain,
When the supply of nerve force has
been diminished either by excessive
physical or mental labours, or owing to
a derangement of the nerve centres, we
are Eirstoonscious of a languor or tired
and worn.crut feeling, then of a mild
form of nervousness, headache, or
stomach tromble, which' is perhaps sac:
coeded by nervous prostration, chronic
indigestion, and dyspepsia, and a gen-
eral sinking of the whole system. In
this day of hurry, fret and worry, there
are very few who enjoy perfect health;
nearly everyone has some trouble, an
&oho, or pain, a weakness, a nerve
trouble, something wrong with the
stomach and bowels, poor blood, heart
disease, or sick headache ; all of which
are brought on by a lack of nervous
energy to enable the different organs of
the body to perform their respertive
work.
South American Nervine Tonic, the
marvellous:nerve food andhealth giver,
is asatisfying success, awondrous boon
to tired, pick, and overworked men
and women, who have suffered years
of discouragement and tried all manner
of remedies without benefit. It is a
modern, &scientific remedy, and in its
nratre follows ,ebounding health.
It in unlike all other remedies in
Unlit is not designed to act on the
different organs affected, but by its
direct action on the nerve centres,
which are nature's little batteries, it
eauses an increased supply of nervous
energy to be generated, which in its
turn thoroughly oils, as it were, the
machinery of the body, thereby one
abling it to perform perfectly its dih,
ferent functione, and without the
slightest friction.
If you have been reading of the re.
markable mires wrought by Sontl
American Nervine, accounts ef which
we publish from week to week, and
are still sceptical, we ask you to in.
vestigate them by correspondence, and
become convinced that they are true
to the letter. Such a oourse may save
you months, perhaps years, of suffer,
big and anxiety.
The words that follow are strong,
but they emanate from the heart, add
speak the sentiments of thousands of
women in the United States and Oen,
add who know, through experience, of
the healing virtues of the South
American Nerviue Tonic,
Harriet E. Hall, of Waynetownot
prominent and muck respected lady,
writes es follows :—
" owe my life to the great South
American Nervine Tonic. I have
been in bed for five months with a
scrofulous tumour in my right side,
and suffered with indigestion and
nervous prostration, Had given up
all hopes of getting well. Had tried
three doctors, with no relief, The
first bottle of Nervine Touio improved
Inc so much that I was able to walk
about, and a few bottles cured um en-
tirely. I believe 10 10 the best rnedifr
eine in the world. I cannot recom-
mend it too highly,"
Tired women, can you do better
