In consequence of the stress of modern life, Narvota Debility is one of the most prevalent disorders of mankind.
The everlasting waar and tear of the nervous uro not repaired as madily as when men lived more peacefully and had more time for the recuperative powers to exorcise their influence on the body. The result is, we are all prone to make overdrafts on the bank of health.
To conquer this evil

THE AWAKENING OF SAMUEL ·
BY WILLIAM HILL (HONGKONG). Samuel Jones was a pozullar individual. A charnstar by himself, one of these people who aro only met once in a lifetime. It would be a dificult task to present Samcol faithfully in a mero pea ploture About five feat five inches. in height, age thirty, fairly well built, equally well dressed, and not bad looking is a very flattering: description of Samuel in the fish, His method of locomotion poavessat a touch of originality laimitable.

Ho Is strong tendency towards Socialism, bat his ideas of social equality often lad him into a tight corner.
He maintained that everyone should be con- sidered equal in every respect to his neighbour. Capitalists were not needed. He would put all money in the hands of the government and let them finance the nation.
The
question of votes for women was a strong argument with Samuel.
A woman's place was at home looking after Ber- children and bringing them up in the way they should go. He could not understand what those who occupied seats in the House of Eng land's Ireperial Government were coming to to Agitation tolerate for one moment the absurd concerning "Woman's Rights."
They looked at each other for perhaps half a minute. Then she spoke,
"Good afternoon," she said. "Good afternoon," he answered. Quite a commonplace remark.

"I was not aware they kept boats at the out.”
This time she laughed quits morrily,
Fancy my uncle keeping boats! Why, he doesn't keep anything in that musty old place except two dogs, a cat, and some chickens, I brought this one with me. I don't know what I should have done with myself if I hadn't. There seems no way of amusing ousself in this horrid show."
Here was a quoer orontare indeed, thought Samuel. A young lady carting her own boal about with her. What next would people do ?

Samnet was not prepared for this. He began to wish he had kept out of the way. But there was no escape now. He hesitated, trying to frage an evasive excuse. She was looking at him expectantly,
