"None at all. Asa Mahomodan, I have always wished to ans the Mosque of St. Sofa, and it ha seemed to a particularly desirable at the present time that I should do homage for myself and for many millions of Indian Mohomadans to his Im paris Majesty. I need not remind you that the Head of the Ottoman Empire is also the Head of my church; that he is the great father of the faithful, hero ne in India, and as each year the means of coronзunicating between the Mussul- made to India and those in Europa becomes more easy bad complote, so with each year we recognise that our interest in aae en-religionista in Edrope is becoming more definite. Wora there, then, any iulications that public opiniog in England was (ON becoming negligent as to the fature control of the Bosphoras tiho dfty millions of Mahomedsas | in India would be very deeply pained and non. | ON earned at any such retrogradation from the old political creer].**

to make a violent entry into Constantinople. To do so would be to wish the alienation of the sympathy and affection of the most warlike of the races of India, the very races apon whose Beal England later may have to rely in order to control the tao progressive bendency of Russia sastward.

A traveller in Persia relates that while on a visit to a Judge a man was brought in who alout- ly denied the offence with which he was charged. The Judge fixed his eyes on the prisonor, who had stretched forward one of his fingers, and ex- claimed: "You are guilty!" "By thy vener- able head I vow To Lot guilty" protested the socused, now raising two fingers. This precess was contioned until he at last stretched out five Sagors of each hand when the magistrate zo- marked: "Good, let him go; he is innocent." The traveller learned afterward that by raining his fagor the prisoner meant the Jadge to un- derstand that hs offered cus tonau (about 10s.) for lus release, and hnd hop compelled to raise the amount by successiva bids to lên tonana (£5) in order to satisfy the clemands of Persian justice.

Mr. Jantios Kekawich was occupied in the Chancery Division on the 5th July with the hearing of an action relating to patouts in dress improvers. The court was streen with various specimens of these articles, and considerable amusement was caused by the spectacle of a Judge and several leading consul, izsluding the At torney-General, arguing gravely on the intrica oles of the various designs for dress improvers Mr. Justice Kekowiek, after looking at several designe, said: hope you are going to produce anthor of these articlez, Mr. Aston, which I do Manila. not see here.

Esiphong According to Dr. Leif, when water is taken Rosigkap. 19. into the fall or partly fall stomach, it does not mingle with the food, as we are generally taught, bat pace allong quickly between the food and caror parvatars towards the priorns, through which it passos into the intestines, The section of macas by the lining membrana is constant, and during the night a considerable Aprat accumulates in the stomach ; some of ito liquid portion is absorbed, and that which re- mains in thick and tenacious. If food is taken. int the stomach when in this condition it be comes coated with this mucus, and the secretion of the gastric juice and its action are delayed. These facts show the value of a goblet of water before breakfast. This washes out the tenacious moons, and stimulates the gastric glands to
Hosztow secration. In old or feeble perscas water should obor.. not be talon cold, but it may be with great agai advantage thon taken warm or hot. This re- moval of the accumulated maons from the stomach in probably one of the reasons why taking soup at the beginning of a meal has been found so beneficial.
