MONEY MAKING BY LUNATICS.
Of course, Junation are not paid for the work they are set to do; but for all tha they usually earn whatever cash they may posseas. Before me (ays the writer of an article entitled Money Making by Lunatics in Cassell's Faturday Journal) at this moment are some beautifully carved figures in boxwood, the work of a hopeless lunatic. This man used, and may still, to do hundreds in the course of a year, and they were regularly taken out and sold for him by attendants, who received a com mission on results. No less clever n lunatic painted assiduously, and many of his water colour drawings fetched from £3 to £5 a piece. Towards the end of his days, though he was as industrious nat evor, he could not earn sixpouse, for every
one of his works was worthless owing to his utter inability to finish it. He could con- ceive, but his execution failed repeatedly". at the same point, and consequently hid pictures had no value except from a medical · point of view. A sailor who was confined in an asylum for years earned a good deal of pocket money by making models of ships, some of which were much superior to the usual articles of this kind. Several of

All the American steamers call at Japan, and the majority of the Australian boats call at Manila, and, in addition to those vessels, special steamers run there. The departure of every steamer is subject to alteration. The P. & O, mails usually reach London in about 28 days, and the French and German in about 28 or 30 days.

THEN the irrigating works are out of order the land may become su parched that no crops will grow and men and animals will die for want of nourish- When your liver and digestive ment. organs are not working properly your body becomes caten up with disease and faming and the best way to prevent this misfortune is to resort to Chas. Forde's Bile Beans, which make the blood flow rich to nourish and irrigate the whole body, Mrs Emily Sophia Clarke, of Ipswich Street, Ston- market, Suffolk, England, recently made the following statement:-She nays:-I had suffered from my liver for twenty years and gradually got worse until I completely broke down. The liver disorder destroyed my digestion and everything ate turned sour on my stomach. I had also A constant aching in my baok. I used to get up in the morning feeling heavy, weak and tired. I should drag on during the morning, but in the afternoon I should be so done up as to be compelled to lie down and rest. The pains in the side and the sensations of heaviness, were most troublo- some. I attended the Royal Free Hospital in London for some time and tried all kinda of remedies, but I got no better, I read one day of a case similar to mine which Bile Beans had cured and I decided to try them. The result of persevering with their nse was that I soon began to pick up. After having bad a few bottles I felt I was on the highway to recovery and I am glad to say they have now cured me completely. I can now get up in the morning feeling well and strong, can enjoy my breakfast and can do my work without effort. This moans a lot, as you will understand when I tell you that I am working from 7 in the morning till 11 at night. Indeed, I feel better and stronger now then ever I did before.
