Hon. Donald Farquharson, Premier of

ine for the establishment of a direct
steamboat service between Charlotte-
town and Liverpool. The contract is
es good as closed. It provides for e,

a steamship of about 4,000 tons, to be
equipped with cold storage for the

other perishable freight, the service to

A despatch from Kingston, Ont.,
says;—Webster Re Company's big mina
mine, known as the Eel Lake mine
near Sydenham, oavod in at six o'olook
on Tuesday evening, and the miners
had a miraculous escape from a hor-
tibla death. The last man to Dome up
was climbing the top ladder when. the
crash came-, so all were sale. This mine
is neatly three hundred feet deep, and
has some long drifts through it, so the -
amount of fallen rooks amounts to
thousands of tone. It was the first

between the God of heaven and the
kingdoms of the earth which that god
bestows upon his chosen ones. Such
reverences as this, such disposition to
refer to the supreme God Its the giver
of earthly power, is usual in the royal
proclamation of Persia. The pow-
er that Cyrus inherited was
small compared with the majestic
empire which God had built up for
him by the conquest of neighboring
kingdoms. Cyrus is called, in Isa.45,
the "Anointed of Jehovah," and is giv-
en God's promise to subdue nations,
end open doors, and make rugged
places plain before him, to destroy
doors of brass and bars of iron, and
bring forth the treasures of darkness
and the hidden riches of secret places,
so that Cyrus may know that Jehovah.
is the supreme God. He hath charged
me to build him a house at Jerusalem.
In what form (this charge same we do
not certainly know. Isa. 44•28 quotes
God as saying of Cyrus, "He is my
shepherd, and shall perform all my
pleasure; even saying to Jerusalem,
Thou shall he built ; and to the tem-
ple, Thy foundation shall be laid."
The precise date of this remarkable
sentence we cannot give, but it is
generally assumed that it had been
shown in writing to Cyrus, and that
he accepted it as a command. Cer-
tainly without his support the temple
could not at this time have bean built.
The Phrase, which is in Judah, hero
and in verse 3, points to the small re-
lative importance of the rtitned capi-
tal,

Iloience has fully established the
fact that all the nervous energy of our
bodies is generated by nerve centres
located near the base of the brain.
'Moen the supply of nerve force bas
been diminished either by excessive
physical or mental labours, or owing to
a derangement of the nerve centres,, we
are first conscious of a languor or tired
and worn-out feeling, then of a mild
Form of nervousness, headache, or
stomach trouble, which is perhaps suc-
ceeded 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
ache, or pain, a weakness, a nerve
trouble, something wrong with the
stomach and bowels, poor blood, heart
disease, or sick headache 3 all of which
are brought on by a lack of nervous
energy to enable the differentorgansof
the body to perform their respective
work.
South American Nervine Tonic, the
marvellous nerve food audhealth giver,
is asatisfying success, awoudrous boon
to tired, sick, and overworked men
and women, who have suffered years
of discouragement and tried all manner
of remedies without benefit, It is a
modern; a scientific remedy, and in its
wake follows 'abounding health.
It is unlike all other remedies in
thstitis 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
-muses an increased supply of nervous
energy to be generated, which in its

slightest friction.
If you have been reading of the re•
markable cures wrought by South
American Nervine, accounts of which
we publish from week to week, and
are still sceptical, we ask you to,in-
vestigatethem by correspondence, and
become convinced that they are true
to the letter. Such a 0011r58 may save
you months, perhaps years, of suffer-
ing and anxiety.
The words that follow are strong,
but they emanate from the heart, and
speak the sentiments of thousands of
women in the United Statesand Can-
ada who know, throngh experience, of
the healing virtues of tire South
American Nervine Tonic,
Harriet E. Ball, of Waynetown,
prominent and much respected lady,
writes es follows :-
11 I 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. Bad given up
all hopes of getting well. Had tried
three doctors, with no relief. The
first bottle of Nervine Tonic improved
me so much that I was able to walk
about, and a few bottles cured me en-
tirely. I believe it is the best medi'
Dine in the world. I cannot recom•
mend it too highly."
