A Famous Cricketer
& 4 Yurst
Nerve Strain, Weariness, Exhaustion-
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11TH, 1909.
To enable me to wear well, says George Hirst, the celebrated Yorkshire cricketer, toget the erst out of oneself, Phosferine is wonderfully effect- ive, and imparts a marvellous reserve of staying power. Speaking of these very same unique advantages possessed by Phosferine, Charles. Gardiner, the winner of the 1gog Marathon, said "Phosferine permanently invigorates and tones up the system, and, in fact, proved my greatest
mainstay."
Whereer men gain distinction by severe mental or physical effort, fight plucky and cheerfully against great odds, it is always upon Prosferine bey rely for the power and energy to see them through. To Gardiner, struggling through beat and dust, it meant victory, to George Hirst, overwrought with the nervous tensity and suspense of a critical game, Phobrine. means the steady nerves and staying power which enable him to wear well. The splendid form which distinguishes George Hirst's wonderful play, testifies to the energising potency of Phosferine, which, says the redoubtable cricketer, dispels all the exhaustion and weariness crised by prolonged basing and bowling under a bot sun.
Quite Naturally Overcome.
G. H. Hint, the wonderful Yorkshire cricketer, Kirkheaton, Yorks, writes :-*| have found that after a very hard day's work in the cricket field, when my system has felt exhausted and my whole body weary, Phosferine always exerts a wonderfully refreshing, stimulative and restorative effect. When my nerves have been greatly overwrought by the excitment and strain of prolonged bowling and batting under a hot sun, your preparation both calms and strengthens them, and enables me to wear well throughout the most trying season, Phosferine endowe one with marvellous staying power, and its timely use wards off all the ill-conseqances to which athletes are especially prone from the nature of their calling-exposure, &c."-May 7, 1909,

A RUSSIAN BAILOR. LETTER FROM A RUSSIAN SAILOR
TO I BROTHER.
BY MAURICE BAZING.
Cowen, July 23 (August. 6), 1909. (86. Trafim's Day.)
My Dear Iran-I am alive and well, and hope you are alive and well, and that all the family are thriving, and I beg you to greet u father, my stepmother, and little Peter, and all my near ones from me. We arrived yesterday in this country. It belongs to the English, who possess so many countries. Their great Queen is no longer alive, but there is now a King in her place who is a bicodrelation of our Emperor. We were sent on more yesterday to buy provisions. Everything is very cheap, except vodka, which costs 3 roables a small bottle. But the English drink vodka of their own, which is also very dar, and they drink a kind of beer which we do not care for much. Tho houses are all built of brick and warmed with coal. Even the working men live in stone houses and hat" them with coal. There is no wood anywhen. The houses and the streets are kept very clean, and the people, even the gentry, obey the police, and are humble when they are given orders. The English are Christinas, and like white men in
الله
respects. They are not heathens. Most of them are very rich, and they have many leo- qneys who obey their masters like dumb alares, and dare not look them in the face when they speak to them.
The English food is very nasty, and there is very little to eat, although all it ment every day, except the vary poor, who seldom receive alms from the passers-by. There are hero many beggars in the streets, but nobody gives thom food or money. We got a cripple s quarter of a rouble and he was surprised and pleased.
Tho
There are many luzariens shipsin the harbour,. all painted white and pretty to look at. All night they are lit up by electricity, English Fleet is here, too, and it is very big and the ships are fine, and we were heavy-hearted when we looked at it and thought of our brave sailors who had been obliged to fight like lions for their dear country and perish like clogs. But there is no help for it, and i! Providence wills we shall one day have another Flet bigger than the first. The tide is very strong hare, and dangerous for us who do not know where the rooks are, and when we ask nobody can explain, for the English do not speak RaniAIL nt All. only know three words in English whisky," which means vodka; Five o'clock, which means shabash (all over); and. “Alright," which means "I thank you" The English sailors are like ours; but they have little to eat or drink. The laws are very strict bore, and if a man who has taken drink walks about in the streets he is put in prison: If that happened in Russin we should mutiny. More over, it is forbidden to smoke almost everywhere. This is strango, un the English moke a great deal; but they are an obedient pople and clean. They respect their laws.
*Plenty
On ahore, it is merry, Thero are many clowns and serebala dancing and singing just as thongh it were a fair. But the English do not know how to sing properly, and they do not dance at all. Although there is so much merrymaking going on I have not seen one drunken man, so much afraid are they of being put in prison.
The English have a Dome, baten Englishman who speaks Russian told us that it was just like curs
and that they did nothing but talk foolishly there. He also told us that the English women had mutinied because so many of them had been pat in prison for beating the police, and that they were being starved in the prisons until they should submit. This seems to us cruel, but the English are often not kind to women and animals, and they say the womm interfere in what is not their business just like they do at home. The English have no Army, only mercenaries who are paid a grat deal. Some of them are niggers. I asked the man who talked Russian why it was that if men were paid. Lo much to be soldiers everyme was not a
fis no room to lie down. You can got ten every- where; but the English do not know how to make tea. It is thick and black and bitter, liko which has been kept too long. They
soup do not know how to make brend either, and thore is no black bread. Their white bread is made of starch and is not fit to eat
But since everyone eats mest this does not much matter. I cannot write any more. Im this is a nice clean country and the people are glad to have travelled in foreign countries, and friendly and all right; but I shall be glad to got back to my native land, for which may heart he pleases. We always heard much of English is weary, and to place here a man can do as freedom, but a man in prison in our country is freer than a man at large here. I send you dozen postcards which are very beautiful. They did not cost much money. Please groet my father, my stepmother, little Peter, and all who
are near to me. Please Heaven I shall retorn home soon. To-day the English King and those who are near to him will pay a visit to his Majesty the Emperor (God bless him!) and his neat ones, and they will drink ten together. To-night we shall eat and drink to their health, and if Heaven plenses I shall have drink taken. Heavon bless you, and all, I am your affectionate brother,

soldier. He said that soldiers wore sent away JOHN J. M: BULT,
to foreign climates and that mon did not respect soldiers in England. It is also like that in Chins. The sailors are much respected and much loved, and they are all Englishmen and white men, and not mercanare. They are merry people too.
The English naval officers ari clean-shaved, which makes them look vory funny, but they are good officers and know their business. The police are dressed in long_gresteiats and carry no weapons, because the English people are so dovile and submissive; and they have few hooli gans here, although they say that in London, their big town, there are many tooligaris, but then these are hanged.

Yesterday we went to Portmonth, a big town, for we could not bay what we wanted in this place, which is only a villags, although all the houses are built of stone. Portsmouth is a beautiful town with many shops, palacos, theatres, and charches, and full of beautiful wo meo who are all married to sailors. It is the custom of the placa obey the sailors in everything and not rob them.. The English sailors are very rich; much richer than some of our. genorals. They spend their money generously and treat everybody. They would be robbed in Russia, but here everyone lives in mortal terror of the police, and I am told that if poor man
to
arrested there is no chance of his not being condemned to prison. They are very strict, so they say, in their prisons, and the fanfortunates" are not allowed even to speak to each other orto smoke! Fanoy this happening in Bussia! If they are very bad they are sent to America! But this only happens to the very worst criminals.
The English are polite to strangers, but very uncivil among themselves. They never greet each other and even the naval officers never shake hands with each other. When I first heard this I did not believe it as I thought enly Turks behaved like that, but it is true, and they do not seem to mini. The geny live quite apart from the common people, but the common poopis do not mird, and indeed, they laugh at them openly and cull thein, so I was told, fools to their faces and abuse thom and their mothers openly and without fear of any pleasantness happening. All this is because they obey and respect the law, and it's vary well, but we could not live in a country like this, because it would sadden us. Elvery- tlung is in order here except the railways. There the disorder is terrible.
You buy ticket for your seat and you cannot register your luggage. But the guards are strict and never lot oven a poor man tavel without a ticket! That would be a bad business for you, Ivan, who never take a ticket. They tell me it is impossible to make any arrangement with the railway officials, because the Government is so powerful and they are afraid of being put in prison.
I only travelled a short distason; but it was difficult to get a seat in the tain. And if I had had any luggage it would certainly have been stolen, as they will not allow you to take wuch luggage in the carriage with you.
The trains are very bad. Their first class is more un- comfortable than our third eins, because there
