e- 37. In the last day, the great day of
the feast. The feast of tabernacles
h was kept seven days, Deut. 10. 15, but
the eighth day was a day of holy con-
e- vocation and Sabbath rest Lev. 28. 86.
e which seems to have been observed
's with even greater solemnity, and
e, probably a larger concourse than
r- Lhe other' days. Several beautiful
ritual practices had engrafted them-.
n selves during the centuries upon the
Mosaic system, and one of these, not
tv prescribed in the Pentateuch, and
f suggesting to the memory God's Beal-
e tags with his people, was the daily
e pum'ing of water from Siloam on the
a great altar, The Jews would recall,
y as they witnessed this rite, the mira-
a coleus gift of the water in the desert,
s else the words of the propllet, "Th'ere-
foer with joy shall ye draw water out of
ps the wells of salvation." Jesus, who
e had before this spoken his evontlerful
words concerning the well of living
t water to the woman at Samaria, now
declares that in him this rite, not again
to be performed for a year, "pusses ia-
to an abiding reality."He is the
Fountain of living water. "It is uncer-
tain whether the libations ware made
on the eighth day. If they were not
' made," writes Dr, Westcott, "the sig-
nufioant cessation of the striking rite
on this one day of the feast would give
a stili mare fitting occasion for the
words." Jesus stood and cried', 1Ie
spoke with a loud voice, that all in
the temple courts might hear, If any
matt thirst, let him come unto me,
and drink. These words would also
recall to the studious worshiper the
words of the prophet Isaiah, "Ho,
every one that thirsteth, come ye to
the seaters, and he that hath no money;
Goma ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy
wine and milk without money and
without: prioe." 1't is a repetition of
elicit. Jesus lead said to the poor oro
name at t113 well„ "Whosoever 18iuk-
eth of the water that I s9a11-give him
11ia.11 never thirst, but the water that
I ,Pholl give him shall be in him a
well of water springing up into ever-
lasting life."

NEW RIFLES FOR GERMANS.

A deepateb from Berlin says:—Ger-
many is again planning to rearm her
infantry ofrces with a magazine ri-
fle of some improved pattern. The sec-
ret is being well kept.
The Minister of War, Lieutenant -
General von Gossler, when recently
elated before the Budget Committee of
the Reichstag concerning the adoption
of a new small calibre rifle, gave an
evasive answer. From many aour085,
however, come indications that the
military coup is being prepared.
Like all German army moves, the
matter Is being carried on quietly and
secretly, Definite knowledge of the
new arra will. dot be known until the
entire army is suddenly 5uppiiod with

MR. FRANK 1SAUER, BERLIN, ONr,
:Fischer) you know him ? In Water-
loo ho is known as one of the most
popular and successful business men of
that enterprising town. As ..snag-
ing executor of the Kuntz estate, he is
at the head of a vast business, repre-
senting an investment of many thous-
ands of dollars, and known to many
people throughout the Provinoo.
Solid financially, Mr. Frank Bauer
also has the good fortune of enjoying
nolid good health, and if appearances
indicate anything, it is safe to predict
that there's a full half century of
active life still ahead for him. Bub
it's only a few months since, while
nursed as an invalid at the 11e,
Clemens sanitary resort, when his
friends in Waterloo were dismayed
with a report that he was at the point
of death
"There's no tolling whore I would
have been had I leapt on the old treat-
ment," said Mr. Bauer, with a merry
laugh, the other day, while recounting
his experiences as a very sink man.
"IYIt. Clemons," he continued, "wits
the last resort in my case. For
months previous I had been suffering
indescribable tortures. I began with
a loss of appetite and sleeplees nights,
Then, as the trouble kept growing, I

stomach refused to retain food of any
kind. .During all this time I eves
ender modioal treatment, and took
everything pr,tsorihed, but without
relief. Just about when my condition
seemed most hopeless, I heard of s.
wonderful cure effected in a ease,
somewhat similar to thine, by the.
Groat South AmericanNervine Tonio,
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 es 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 meals
regularly every day, with as numb
relish as aver, I have n0 hesitation
whatever in saying that the South
American Norville Tonic cured me
when all other rotaec?ice failed. I
have recovered my old weight—over
200 poauds—and never fait better
in my life."
Mr. )rank 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 direot
effect of this great remedy upon the
nerve centres, whose fagged vitality
is energized instantly by the very first
dose. Itis a groat, a wondrous cure
for 'all nervous diseases, as well as
indigestion and dyspepsia. It goes
to the real scorn of trouble direct,
and the sick always feel its marvel-
lous sustaining and restorative power
at once, on the very first dey of its

A despatch from London says:—The
municipal government of London has
long been under a cumbersome, dis-
jointed system, without responsible
head or o0 -operative departments.
Many attempts have been made to re-
form It, but little has been a000m-
plished.
A bill will be presented at Lha com-
ing session of Parliament providing
for a complete reorganization. As this
bill has Governmental approval, tun -
don may at [net do away with its in-
numerable .boards, vestries, commit-
tees, and departments.
It is proposed to leave untouched the
htstorie old walled city government,
with its Lord Mayor, aldermen, and
guilds.
Outside this ancient heart of Lon-
don, however, twenty-nine munir.fpali-
ties or boroughs viii be created, each
with a Mayor and Council, to exorcise
purely local functions.
The London City Ccsuneit, which is
now the ruler of London, will con-

fairs defeating the whole municipality
such as control of police and fire af-
fairs, the administration of justloe,
drainage and parks.
