The only logical way to overcome these complaints is to go to the root of the trouble-the nerves. Strengthen those nerves with Sanategen the finest tonic food obtainable. Sanatogen leeds the nerve cells with the exact pro- portion of those elements-glycero- phosphate and albumin-from which new nerve-strength is derived. By so doing Sanatogen conquers all symptoms of nerve-weakness,

Readers of "Queen Lucin" will relish this continuating of that brilliant lady's history. She is here presented as disputing the field with other royalties, as ambi- tions but far less able than her. self; and she retains her superb supremggy, unto the last page. in spite of all attempts at challenge and dethronement. Her calm out- manoeuvering of all netual or batential rivals, is depicted with Mr. Benson's well-known expert wit and skill. Everyone acquainted with the details of provincial life will acknowledge the ruthless ac- enracy of his portraiture, and will eagerly follow further these for tunes of the undaunted Lucia. The denouement provides a double, even a triple surprise; which, te reap its full enjoyment, the author's admirers must hasten to ascertain for themselves.

like Hobhouse knew Byron, Samuel Rogers, Moore and all such literary lions of the time. But though Burdett was a pro- minent figure in society, that side of the period is more largely il lustrated from the papers of his father-in-law, Thoman Coutts, who as hanker to the Royal family was in touch with the princes and with their mistresses, and received their | mutual complaints.

The story of Coutts's amazing second marriage with the refress Harriot Mellon (afterwards Duchess of St. Albans) and of the resulting family quarrels, in which Burdett contributed his part to a correspondence worthy of Samuel Richardson's invention. makes one of many episodes that will provide inspiration for novelties. Others fully related here are the Stock Exchange hoax, Just before Waterloo, which led to the disgrace of the famous ad miral, Lord Cochrane, whom Bur- dett unsuccessfully though justly championed; the trial of Roger O'Connor for robbing the Galway mall, in which Burdett helped to secure an undeserved acquittal; and the duel with another Radi- cal, which brought Burdett into Parliament free of expense for Westminster, which he represent-

LORD SOMERS NOT ASHAMED.
H.E. Lord Somers, Governor and Chief Scout for Victoria, in an address to the residents of Inver- loch who had entertained him, re- ferring to his Boy Scout uniform, said: "Too many people are prone to think that it is a ridiculou3 thing for their Governor to go about dressed as a Boy Scout. But the uniform is only the out- ward sign that I, as a Scout, am trying to live up to the Scout Law. │I am not ashamed to go about dis-
