Nerve Strain, Despondency, Exhaustion
All the world knows about the Great Channel Flight, but it is from M. Bleriot himself we learn how much his marvellous conquest of the air depended upon the nerve force and endurance created by Phosferino, The great aviator confesses that the magnitude of his undertaking made him apprehensive and despondent, and only by re-inforcing his nerve power with Phosferine was he able to endure the great strain which resulted in such a brilliant triumph, ________
It is an established: fact that the most brainy and daring men recognize success depends on iman's own driving power-harve energy, and M. Blerior's tribute to the energising efficacy of Phosferine was preceded by that of bis countryman, M. Farman, the famous aeroplanist, and thousands of distinguished people all over the world.
It is M. Bleriot's conviction that aerial flight is impossible without an abundance of nerve force to withstand the unseen riske, shock or effects of exposure, and his channel flight experience of the vitalising potency and permanent staying power of Phosfering has compelled his grateful appreciation.
Entirely Dispelled and Prevented.
M. Louis Bleriot, the first par to fly across the English Channel, writes: ** I have also found, te my colleague M. Henri Farman has, that a considerable amodot of benefit is to be derived from the use of Phosferine as a nerve tonic.
During the long, hazardous training flights that have been necessary with my different machines, previous to arriving at the perfection that my latest machine has attained, and the consequent mishaps which must necessarily prevail, Phosferine has stood me iz good stead,
For anyone, no matter what capacity, I can with confidence recommend Phosferine as a bracing nerve tonic and preventive against fatigue and a restorative for loss of vitality."

standing his illness he tended the farewell dinner to Bir Hesketh Bell, Governor of Northern Nigeria, in Liverpool. Since then he had been confined to his house He became suddenly worse and passed away on December 14th, the cause of death being heart failure
Bir Alfred Lewis Jones was born in Car marthen sixty-three years ago, and began his exceedingly strenuous lie te an office boy with Mesars Laird Fletcher, & Company, the mangen of the Afries Steamship Company at the proverbial wage of half a crown week, Bmall pay and much work were his lot for many years, but eventually he became manager of the lem, and remained so until the owners determined to redre Then he took a cffeo an & Abipping broker, and in 1879 he join- ed the firm of Elder, Denigster & Co an junior partner Bince then his life has been bound up with the story of this firm. When he joined it it owned twenty ships, a feet which to-day has increased to over a hundred steamers which are to be seen in almost all parts of the world.
ANVASES THE BANANA KING.
One of the greatest feats of the firm was its exploitation of the banana trade of the dies and Canary Islands, and the West Indies part which Sir Alfred look in this wen for him the title of the "Banana King, It is no exaggeration to say that he rescued the Canaries from destilation by his recognition of the possibilities of banana cul- tare. He induced the naturally indolent natives to cultivate the fruit, and organised the trade in them at chipped them to England The direct line of ships he istituted between Bristol and Jamaica did much to solve the problem of the Boute distress from which the islands were enffering, owing to the hostile sugar bounties. For the work which he did in this respect he received his K.M.G. SI Alfred's interest in bananas was not a merely commercial interest He was extremely fond of the fruit himself, and few of his callers escaped without having nbalans offered to them. Indeed, it was one of his invariable habite to intimate that an interview was at en end with the question," Will have a banana 2
This habit was responsible for more than one good story. On one occasion a visitor who had not succeeded in obtaining what he wanted, had ocme prepared, and when he saw t Alfred's hand string towards the banana plate, he promptly hooked a couple of bansune out of his own pocket and in the sweetest tone posable said, Will you have a bannond

The specially interesting portion of the book is that which takes the marriage-registers England and Wales, and reveals some Interest- ing abarets about the love stories which brought about the 264,940 marringes, which took place in the year.
Here, for instance, are a few facts which” might give lints to the novelist in search of a
One bride of fifty married a bridegroom of twenty.
One girl of fourteen was married to a youth of nineteen, while another girl of the same ago found a husband twenty-one years old
Among the brider who found husbands over seventy years old were one aged nineteen, ane aged twenty, and two agel twenty-one.
Two old women over seventy-five years of ago marsted, men over eighty five years, while in all Boventy-seven were married who wOCO OVOF seventy years of age, three finding bridegroome under forty-five years of age, and twenty six unler sixty-five years, while forty-eight married men as old as or older thon, themselves..
Three women between twenty Eve and thirty years of age married youths of seventoun yours of age, while thirty-one women between thirty and thirty five murried husbands who were under twenty years of age.
THE SAME AGE,
In 54,474 marriages both bride and bride om were between twenty-one and twenty- four year of age, while in 38 984 marriages the husband and wife were between twenty live and thirty years of age
There wrers in all 32.832 brides who were older than their bridegrooms,
Two wilowa of twenty years married bachelors between insteen and twenty years; while fourteen widens between twenty-five and thirty- five years of age uncried bachelors who were twenty years.
One widow of fifty, one of fifty-five, and one of sixty years, married bachelors between twenty, one and twenty-five years of age.
Fourteen widows over seventy years of age, found second husbands whose ages variod from thirty to eighty years,
The widowers who remarried numbered 22761, and of these 14,593 chose spinster, Of the 16,791 while 8,168 chose widows. widows who remarried 8 623 took bachelors for their second husbands,
Une spinster between twenty-five and thirty years of age married & widower of twenty years, while one spinster aged ninetem married widower aged seventy years,
The all-important financial considerations which are concerned in marriage are flastrated by an elaborate table given in the volume, which show that when trade and employment are good the number, of Larriages incress, while trade is bad and unemployment is prevalent the "happy day" has to bo put off. Thus in the rears 1906 and 1907, when foreign trade Was growing and employment was good, there was on inerosso in the marriage rate, but last yeur, when trade was bad sed nuemployment was on the increase, the marriage rate showed.
