Hundreds of years ago, a young roan belonging to a rich and powerful film. ily turned his basin upon his father's castle and went to live in a thick forest. A few friends went with him. They built a house for themselves and resolv- ed to live what they considered a holy life. Their leader set an example of austerity. He lashed himself with whips; he .wore the coarsest clothing ; he slept on a bare plank. What he ate was scarcely sufficient to keep him alive, and so wretched in quality that even the dogs turned from it. Of course title young man had indigestion and dyspepsia. He persevered in abus- ing his stoinsch until his sense of taste was destroyed. He would swallow chalk or fruit rinds as readily as you who read this would eat Yorkshire pudding. This )suicidal conduct was generally admired, and his neighbours looked upon him as a saint. "I always had a bad taste in my mouth," says a gentleman who lives not far from Manchester."It was worse in the morning, and I could not enjoy anything I ate, becaase all my food tasted bad." Consider for a moment hots useful is the sense of taste. It warns us when anything unwholesome enters the mouth, for the rule is that what- ever is offensive to°the• taste is injur• ious to the body. The rule has excep. tions, and the reveres, does not always hold good, because harmless medicines are not always pleasant to swallow. Like the self-denying hero of the mid (Ile ages, Mr. Alfred Ogden suffered from the effects of an incompetent stomach, and one of these effects was the bad taste he tells us of. The trou- ble began in the spring of 1892, and one of the first signs that edmething was wrong was a 'feeling of dulness and languor. Our correspondent says he felt tired alter the" least exertion. When he had managed to swallow some food, despite the bad taste, he felt as if a dagger had pierced his ,breast', and gone right back to the shoulder blades. It was with grea difficulty that he could attend to his business. At night, weary and worn out with pain, Air. Ogden tried in vain to sleep. The demon of dyspepsia haunt• ed him and give him no rest. He tools medicines, and at times he felt a little relief, "I continued in this state for twelve months," he writes. "InA pril, 1893, I read one day, in a little book left at my house, of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. Mr. Catterall, the chemist, of Church Street, sold me a bottle ; and a few doses relieved me greatly. Two more bottles completed the cure, and now I am perfectly healthy ; and have been ever since. My wife, who suf- fered from a sluggish liver a long time, tae derived great benefit from Mother Seigel's Syrup. Yours truly (Signed), Alfred Ogden, 4 C�yliege Croft, .Eccles, near Manchester, Janu sty 26th, 1894, " The man we have told you of, who went to live the life of a hermit in the woods, lost his taste because he out- raged hie palate. He ate things never intended for human food. He was rightly sewed for a fanatic and a fool. The bad taste of which Mr. Ogden apeaky, however, aas,that of biletounit ing up' into his throat and mouth from his deranged stomach; where bile is never found except In osies in which it gets out of its proper place-• �,.�ll,",-'-�l""�,,,,�*,�,�,.�,,,- . . , . , 'I., � . .... � 11, . , 11 '' I I L, ' - .

Instead of dissolving and eep arntillo the food, turning part of it into good blond and expelling the rest frum tine body, the stomach mere- ly retaius it as any other bag or rocep- laclo wuul,l do. Then, through the ioltull of the heat and woisture the luod ferments, turns sour, rota and Allows of+ gases and acids, some of which now and then arias to the mouth, lausiug the bad taste and the "wind" at) often experienced by the sufferer.

RETALIATION BILLS. Mr. Cowan, last week, introduced it bill intituled : "An act respecting the employment of aliens in the Dominion A Canada." The object of the bill is :o prevent the employment of aliens n Canada, and to prevent the employ - Y ent of persons who would work in Jauada and make their homes else- where. Mr. Taylor's bill, the senior .)y several years of all alien labour Measures, was also introduced. The All is entitled : "An act to prohibit ;he importation and immigration of 'oreiguers and aliens under contract )r agreement to perforin labour in ana.da." THE NFW FRANCAISE BILL. Last week Hon, Mr. Fitzpatrick in- troduced the new Franchise Act, vhich, instead of being the very liniple ineasm•e expected, turns out to )e it very bulky bill of 150 clausts, naking 68 printed pages, and, froth it !ursory examination of it appears to be luite its complicated as the present ` et. Some twenty Acts of Parliament )assed since 1835 tire repealed in whole n in Par t. The provincial franchises tie adopted with the addition that )insets and men of the Northwest rlunnted police and of the permanent urea acre disfranchised. The draft vhich Mr. Fitzpatrictt brought down o -day is the seventh that has been )repared by the government. It is ultnittedly incomplete w; it does not. .nobody the principle: of one man one rote which the Liberal press says is to )e brought into force. When. the bill s law no two provinces will be repre- ented in the same way in Parliament. )ntario inembers will be returned on ists based on Manhood Suffrage less it.y and town postmasters who are lisfranchised. Quebec members will 'epresent owners or tenants of pro- )erty of $300 in cities and $200 else- vhere. Nova Scotia merubers will re - )resent owner's or tenants of real pro- rerty of $150 or owners of personal )roperty of $150.and over, less all gov- winnent employees, who are disfran- hised. New Brunswick inernbers will 'c'preseut owners or tenants Of real moperty worth $100 or personal pro- )rrtp worth $40 or i -sons assessed or $40 income. Prince Edward stand members will represeut males vho have to pay a rental of at least i0 a year, who have done statute labor )r paid poll tax. British Columbia nembers will renresent all the )nen here except Indians and Chinese. Manitoba members will be elected on he basis of manhood suffrage, except hat all Government employees receiv- ng'$350 will be disqualified. Among the leading features of the bill are the 'ollowing : SOME FEATURES OF THE BILL. • Subject to the provisions hereinafter %outained, the qualifications and condi- ,ion necessary to entitle a person to) cote at a, Dominion election shall be ;hose entitling a person at the time of such election to vote at it provincial 'lection.
