A despatch from Berlin sage:—The

by him with en anonymous Russian dip-
lomatist, who said that if the Philip-
pines become Anierioau tbat fact is
likely to mark the last hour of com-
pletely undimmed friendship between
Russia and the United States.
The latter, he added, would be forced
into the track of the, great powers who
were wrestling for paramount influ-
ence in the far East, and the end would
be that Brother Jonathan would be
taken in tow by his English cousin,
who would teach him the tricks of a
surprises and adventures, endangering
"great policy." The most disagreeable
peace, may then arise. Continuing,ihe
diplomatist said that Great Britain
would surely prejudice the Russo -
American relations in Asia. Russia
would not stir a finger to prevent the
annexation of the Philippines but she
did not conceal the tact that she was
displeased with the step, whish she re-
garded as unjust to Spain.

Science has fully established the
fact that all the nervous energy of our
bodies is generated by nerve centres
looated near the base of the brain.
When the supply of nerve force has
been diminished Dither 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-
oesded 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
atomaoh and bowels, poor blood, heart
diseaae, or sink headache; all of which
are brought on by a lack of nervous
energy to enable the different organs of
the body to perform their respective
work.
South American Nervine Tonic, the
marvellous nerve food and health giver,
is asatirafyiagsuccess, awondrous boon
to tired, sick, and overworked men
and women, who have suffered years
ofdiscouragement and tried all manner
al remedies without, benefit, It is a
modern, a saientifie remedy, and in its
;pake follows Abounding health.
It is unlike all other remedies in
that it is not designed to act on the
different organa affected, but by its
direct action on the nerve centres,
which are nature's little batteries, it
•nausea an increased supply of neryaus
energy to be generated, which in its
turn thoroughly oils, es it were, the
machinery of the body, thereby en.
abling it to perform perfectly its di .
ferent functions, and without the
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-
vestigate them by oorreepondence,and
become convinced that they are true

ada who know, through experience, of
the healing virtues of the South
American Nervine Tonle,
Harriet E. Ball, of Waynetown, a
prominent and much respected lady,
writea as follows :—
"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 aide,
and Buffered with indigestion and
nervous prostration. Had 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.
eine in the world, I cannot recom-
mend it too highly."

A ciespatoh from Ottawa says:—Ia-
formation of value to Canadian manu-
facturers has reached the Depart-
ment of Trade and Commerce from of-
ficial sources; it is to the effect that
the Government of Russia hes made im-
portant reductions on the duty upon
agrleultural machinery and equip-
ment. This has been brought about
as the result of a commission appoint-
ed to enquire into the causes of agri-
cultural depression in Russia, Its
finding was that the necessary im-
provements could best be brought
about by facilitating the importation
incl Oso of foreign-inade agricultural
machinery, which were being discour-
aged by a duty of 5-015 of a cent per
pound on machrne'y, .and 7-Ot:hs of a
oent per pound on binding ovine.
FARIVI IMPLEMENTS FREED.
A000rsLngly, in September last, an
IAnperial ukase was promulgated ad-
mitting free of duty into Russia such,
implemente as harvesting machinery,
threshing machinery, steam ploughs,
horse -rakes, seeders, etc., and twine
made of minds hemp cf the
amount of. 1,080 pounds per machine,
The duty on steatnt engines imparted
wits threshing ntachiuee and ploughs
has been rodueed to 5 -Sibs of a Dent per
'pound.
Tbc new tariff is to remain ie force
for three years. It is suggested that
an excellent opportunity to introduce
