A despatoh from Cairo Saye:—Lord

s ditions of Egypt and the Soudan, Is -
t. sued on Friday night by Lite Foreign
s Office, says that Egypt has had an-

tian. He remarks upon the growing

- IATUAItA BRIDGE CONTRACT,
Dealing with the development of tbe
' Soudan, Lord Cromer refers to the
oontraot for the Atbara bridge, the
- placing of which with an American
11 firm caused much comment. He says
I that an English firm offered to deliver
of the bridge in six months and a half at
,' a cost of £10,490, while the Anterioau
(firm undertook to deliver it in a2 days
ammo at a cost of £0,i$00. The latter offer
e wee therefore accepted. Lord Cromer
adds: -
0 I " The time of delivery was an even
f mere important consideration than the
pike. I have 00 doubt these facts will
admit of some explanation, wherewith
1 ane unacquainted. They appear, how -
a ever, to merit the attention of bridge
. builders in Great Britain."

to fixed standards either in locomotives
I or bridges. ,

In many ways the Saviour came
again, and is coming — by the
resurrection; by the inner experience of
the believer's heart; by death; by the
eud of the world, and we know not
by bow many advents besides, becomes.
That where I am, there ye may be.
The thought of dwelling Willi our Sav-
iour should be the great Gape held up

4. Whither 1 go ye know, and the
way ye know. See the Revised Ver-
sion here. Jesus had often spoken to
them of his return to the 1i'ather,
John 7. 93; and his whole life had been
spent in instructing men how to go to
the Father.
5. 'ihonlas with, A disciple who
found it impassible to be,iave without
clear evidence; and his desire to under-
stand is very edifying. Wes know not
whither thou goest. - None of the die-
c•tp:en could yet have any clear 0n,:ar-

can we know the way? This is not a
dettaration of unbelief; it is rather an
expression of confusion of mind and
vague apprehension,

life. "The troy," says Leempis, "to

of holiness; the truth, to Lbem that
are advancing in it; tee life, to than
that are perfected."
7. If ye had known me: Just in
the measure in which men apprehend
Christ they eppreheatd God. He who
sees in Christ only an ordinary, fall-
ibly man utterly fails to find God. Ho
who sees in Christ a divine -human per-
sonality is led by the knowledge of
the Son to a knowledge of the Father
also. Known my Father, "God in
Christ became manlike, that he might
show man how to become godlike."—

RESULT OF GRAIN TESTS.
Germinating Potter of Samples deceived
From the Norlll.Ote'st.
A despatch from Ottawa, says:—The
Experimental farm has published the
results of the tests made to determine
the germinating power of samples of
grain received from Manitoba and the
Nortb-West Territories. The samples
have been divided into two groups.
1 Those ebowing 60 per cent. and over
of germinating power have been re-
ported on as fit for seed; below 60 per
cent, have been condemned. Of 465
samples of wheat, 434 proved satis-
factory, the larger portion ranging
from 85 to 100 per cent.. Thirty-one
samples Were unfit for seed.
Of oats, out of 250 samples, 59 were
discarded.
Of barley, out of 119 samples, three
were not fit for seed.
These figures show that oats were
most injured by the bad harvest wea-
ther of last 550500, the percentage be-
ing 23. Of wheat, the percentage of
unsuitable seed is 7; of barley, lees leen
3 per cent.. Director Saunders recom-
mends farmers whose samples ere
doubtful, especially oats, to test them
for germinating power themselves be-
fore sowing. This may be done by
planting 100 average kernels in a box
of moist earth about an inch below
the surface, keeping the earth damp
and the box in a warm room for a
few days until the grain has sprouted.

panying the puiture was a letter from

Father Lacombe is in the city in
connection with a colony of half-breeds

sistance, to the work by granting lands,
The administration of the colony is in

MR. FRANK !SAUER,
Perhaps you know him 1 In Water -
too he is known as one of the most
popular and successful business men of
that enterprising town. As .manag-
ing executor of the Kuntz estate, he is
at the head of s vast business,repre-
senting an investment of many thous-
ands of dollars, and known to many
people throughout the Province,
Solid financially, Mr. Frank Bauer
also has the good fortune of enjoying
solid 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. But
it's only a few months since, while
nursed as an invalid at the Mt,
Clemens sanitary resort, when his
friends in Waterloo were distnayed
with a report that he was at the point
of dearth
It There's no telling where I would
have been had I kept on the old treat-
ment," said Mr, Bauer, with a merry
laugh, the other day, while recounting
his experiencee as a very sick man,
"Mt. Clemens," he continued, " was
the last resort in my ease. For
months previous I had been suffering
indescribable tortures. I began with
a lose of appetite and sleepless nights.
Then, es the trouble kept growing, I
w,os getting weaker, and began losing
flesh and strength rapidly. My
stomach refused to retain food of any
kind. During all this time 1 was
under medical treatment, and took
everything prescribed, but without
relief. Just about when my condition
BERLIN, Oen,
seemed most hopeless, I heard of a
wonderful oure effected in a case
somewhat similar to mine, by the
Great South American Nervine Tonic,
and I finally tried that. On the Bret
day of its use I began to feel that 111
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 meals
regularly every day, with as much
relish as ever, I have no hesitation
whatever in saying that the South
American Narvino Tonic cured me
when all other remedies failed. I
have recovered my old weight—over
200 ponnds—and never felt better
in my life."
Mr. Frank Bauer's experience is
that of all others who have used the
South American Nervine Tonic. Its
instantaneous action in relieving die -
tress and pain is due to the direct
effect of this great remedy upon tba
nerve centres, whose fagged vitality
is energized instantly by the very first
dose. It ie a great, a wondrous ours
for all nervous diseases, as well as
indigestion and dyspepsia. It goer
to the reel source of trouble direct,
and the sick always feel its marvel-
lous sustaining and restorative power
at once, on the very first day of its
000.
