13, Annus, (Luke 3. 2; Acis 4, 3,)
This man is called Ananus by Josephus.
Other variations of the name are IIanan
and Ananias. He was one of the
most powerful Jews of that time, and
had been high priest, but, was removed
by the Romans, and succeeded by
three others, who each held the dignity
for a year or less, when Joseph Caia-
phas, his son-in-law, obtained it. With
the advancement of Caiaphas, Annas
regained much of the politieal author-
ity of the office, Throe of his sons
came in turn to the high priesthood.
\Mien the evangelist says that they
led him away to Annas first it implies
thin he. was afterwards Jcd to Ceiaphas,
as the story goes on to say. Caiaphas
held the office of high priest from

CHANGES IN LONDON.

Charing Cross Motion Improvements.
A despatch from London says :—Lon-
don has found the underground rail-
way system so necessary that a new
line of tunnels extending under the
oity more than seven miles, is near-
ing completion. For some years past
at various points between the Bank
of England and Shepherd's Bush large
hoardings enclosing shafts have been
eyesores to Londoners. The work is
now in its final stage, and shortly pas-
sengers will he shot through leatun-
nels, at an average depth of 80feet
below the surface, from the heart of
tee city to the suburbs. Along the
steno line of improvement is the new
textual under ilio Thames, near the
West Indian dooks, and also the Loot
passenger tunnel under the river at
Greenwich. Then the London County
Council is actively engaged in work
preliminary to the oonstruotion of a
great thoroughfare from Holborn to
the Strand, an artery between these
two crowded centres wh'ieh has been a
vital necessity for many years. Anoth-
er project in connection tvilh im-
provements at Charing Cross station
will also make a great change in ex-
isting surroundings.
The sum of money it is estimated that
these municipal improvements will
cosi is about $30,000,000, while the un -
underground railroad will cost at least
as much more. The naw avenue sweeps
away the Gaiety Theatre, but leaves
the historic Lyceum at one side, :Goole's
old theatre is among the buildings to

ment at the upper end of the Strand

Newspaper editore are almost as
soeptioal as the average physician on
the subject 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
medicine.
Iiuntlreds of testimonials of won-
derful recoveries wrought with the
Great South American Nervine Tonic
were received from mon and women
all over the country betere physicians
began to prescribe this great remedy
in chronic eases of dyspepsia, in-
digestion, nervous prostration, sick
headache, and as a tonic for build-
ing up cysteine sapped of vitality
through protracted spalls of sick-
ness.
During his experience of nearly a
quarter of a century as a newspaper
publisher in Paris, Out„ 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 peesonal experience,
has he given a testimonial over his
own genteeure. No other remedy
ever offered the public has proved
such a marvellous revelation to the
most sceptical as the Routh American
Nervine Tonic. It has never failed
in its purpose, awl it hag oared when

doctors and other medicines were
tried in vain.
"I was prostrated with a partion-
larly severe attack of ' La Grippe,' »
says Mr. Colwell, "and could find no
relief from the intense pains and dis-
tress of the malady. 1 suffered day
and night. The doctors did not help
me, and I tried a number of meal -
eines, but without relief. About this
time I was advised to try the South
American Nervine Tonto. Its effects
were instantaneous. The first dose I
took relieved me. I improved rapidly
and grew stronger every day. Your
Nervine Tonic cured me in a tringle
week."
The South American Nervine
Tonto rebuilds the life forces by its
diroot action on the nerves and the
nerve centres, and it is this notable
feature which distinguishes it from
every other remedy in existence. The
meet eminent medical authorities now
concede that fully two-thirds of all the
physical ailments of humanity arise .
from exhaustion of the nerve forces.
The South American Nervine Toni°
acting direct upon the nerve centres
and nerve tissues instantaneously
supplies them with the true nourish-
ment required, and that is why its
invigorating effects upon the whole
syetem are always felt immediately.
For all nervone diseases, for general
debility arising from enfeebled vital•
ity, and for stomach troubles of every
variety no other remedy can possibly

SHARKS DEVOURED THE CAPTAIN.
So Think the drew of the Vessel Front
'85 1tah the haunter Was Lost.
The thrilling tale of the loss at sea
of Capt, J. Masson, the well known
commander of the Munson Line steam-
ship Vimeira, and of his body being
devoured by hungry sharks, was made
known Thursday afternoon upon ar-
rival of that ship at Philadelphia( from
Cuba with a cargo of sugar. The
Vimeira arrived from Cardenas and
Matanzas in charge of Chief Offioor
Ronald, who took command when the
unfortunate Capt, Masson was lost.
The vessel was en route from Phil-
adelphia to Havana with coal, baying
left here March 17. On the Mat she
was passing close to the Bahama Is-
lands, and Capt. Masson was on the
starboard side of the bridge, with the
teletoope glasses in his hands, luoking
for buoy, from which be could judge
the correct position of the ship, Mate
Ronald was on the bridge mad in the
amidship suction.
The ship was under full speed, when
suddenly the Captain fell overboard.
The engines were reversed and a life-
boat was launched, but the body of
the Captain was never seen again, For
hours the boat rowed about the local -
which was alive with sharks, and
the eouclusion reached by the of£iaars
and men of the ship is that their Cap-
tain was at once swallowed up bytbeee

Capt. Masson was well known both in
Philadelphia and New York, between
which ports and Cuba he had been
running on a time charter with the
Munson line for some years, He suo-
awcded Capt. Thomson in the eomntand
