THE VOLUNTEERS FOR THE CAPE
A writer to the British Realm says
London Scottish Volunteers
The Lanterns body, or to the strength of three or four hundred, for service at the Cape, and it is reported, though I do not make myself responsible for the truth of the report, that several horth country carps have also offered their services. I am glad to say that the War Office authorities have refused to entertain any offers of this kind. Volunteers, whose motto is "Defence not Defiance, are only intended to serve in case of invasion, and though ona'is naturally glad to see so much keenness and patriotic enthusiasm, yet it is after all but cheap swagger, as their commanding officers should have well known that no such offer could be accepted. If any volunteer wishes to fight for his country in South Africa his course is plain : let han enlist; recruits are wanted, and he can do more service as a member of a unit- of the regular Army than as one of a contin gent of partially trained volunteers. I am rather inclined to think that it would not be a bad plan to so alter the conditions of service as to make it possible for volunteers who had put in so many years' service and were of very good physique to be enrolled simply for the duration of a campaign, being discharged at the conclusion of peace with a reasonable bounty. Such a plan would throw opene to the recruiter a field of more or less trained men, far superior to the average recruit, and would enable the keen volunteer to gratify his taste for sol- diering without committing him to military service for a period of at least bree years It would also give a much needed stiftening of older men to cur young battalions. I really feel more in love with my suggestion the more 1 consider it, and I wish the authorities could be induced to try it, if only on a small scale.
"A LOCH LOMOND O' WHISKY."
The position of the whisky trade in Scotland continues to excite attention. The all mak distilleries began work last year before the Pattison failure was suspected, and they were obliged to use up their stocks of grain before closing the work for the season, which commences in October and ends in May. The result is that the quantity of liquor on hand in the government warehouses in Scot land is quite abnormal. On the last day of the financial year 193,280,391 gallons of Scotch wisky was stated to be under Revenue lock. This was an addition of 13,500,000 gal When
lors to the stock in twelve months,
or by whom all this liquor is consumed is a question many will ask when they learn the exact position. Roughly the trade in Scotch whisky has been of late so per cent greater than that in Irish liquor, and distillers of the latter are quite content to have 36,250,000 gal. tons in stock. Four years ago the Scotch distil lers had 65,000,000 gallons in reserve. In the interval their sales have increased by some 25 per cent, to meet which they haved increased the reserve by almost 60 per cent. It is not easy to strike the average value of this ocean of drink. It varies between 7s 11d. for malt whisky made in 1892 and 1s. 4d. for grain spirit made a few months ago, but experts say that 35, the gallon would probably be a very modest estimate. This works out at almost £15,500,000 sterling. Whether the 157 Scotch distillers and their customers, the Leith blenders, can carry liquor of that value time will tell.

HONGKONG AND WHAMPOA DOCK RETURNS,
The building of the new guard-room in the inner bailey of the Tower of London says the Daily Graphic, has led to a strange and ́inter- esting discovery, and enhanced the mystery and romance which have gathered for centuries around its grey walls and battlements. The new guard-room occupies the space between the Bloody Tower and the White Tower upon the right as you enter the inner ward, and in preparing its foundations a subterranean passage was discovered (or, to be accurate, re-discovered, for its existence was known. before), extending. from the moat, near the Traitors' Gate beneath St. Thomas's Tower, in the direction of the south-west angle of the White Tower. The passage is lined throughout with Norman masonry and has a level floor; it was "evident at once, therefore, that it was not a drain or culvert, for in that case it would have had a rounded bottom, and it became a matter of interest to follow it both ways, towards the White Tower, for the purpose of ascertaining whether it com- municated directly with the interior of the White Tower, forming, thus, an outlet to the moat from the lower portion of the keep where the dungeons are situated. It sepmed most

THE PHONOGRAPH,
The Writer of an interesting article on the "Wonders of the Phonograph, in The New Penny Magazine for August, gives in Edison's own words the origin of his discovery of this marvellous instrument: 1 was singing to the mouthpiece of a telephono, when the vibrations of the voice sent the fine-steal point into my finger. That set me to. thinking. If I could record the action of the point, and send the point over the same surface afterward, I saw no reason why the thing would not talk. I tried the experiment first on astrip of telegraph paper, and found that the point made an alphabet, shouted the words Halloo Halloo!' into the mouthpiece, ran the paper back over the steel point, and heard the faint Halloo Halloo !' in. return. I there and then determined to make
a machine which would work accurately, and

This succesful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals-by- Ricord, Rosian, Jobert, Velpeau, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind, and surpasses everything hitherto employed.
THERAPION No. 1, in a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, effectually superseding injections, the use of which does irreparable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious dis- eases. In dysentery, piles, irritation of the lower bowel, cough, bronchitis, asthma, and some of the more trying complaints of this kind, it will be found astonishingly efficacious, affording prompt relief where other well-tried remedies have been powerless.
THERAPION No. 2, for impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches, pains and swellings of the joints, secondary symp toms, disease of the bones, sore throat, and all diseases for which it has been too much a fashion to employ mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of the sufferer's teeth and ruin of health. This preparation purifies the whole system through the blood, and throughly eliminates every poisonous matter from the body,
THERAPION No. 3, for nervous exhaustion, waste of vitality, and all the distressing con. sequences arising from early error, excess, residence in hot, unhealthy climates, &c, It posseses surprising power in restoring strength and vigour to the debilitated.
THERAPION may be procured at 2/9 and 4/0 per package, of the principal Chemists and Merchants throughout the world. In ordering, the purchaser should state which of the three numbers he requires, and observe that the fwsword THERAPION" appears on the Govern
ment, Stamp (in white letters on a red ground) affixed to every genuine package by order of Her Majesty's Hon. Commissioners, and with- out which it is a forgery.
