A well-known local-pilot probably now sadly regrets those forty shares which he sold out recently at $oo. "He would be $8,coo better off to-day.
It is interesting to note that the money will go out to such widely, scattered places as California, Rangoon, Surat, Suez, Nigerin, Amsterdam, Nieblungen, Switzerland, Java,
Austratin.
Our correspondent "Accountant" who wrote some days ago his idea, as to the amount of the award was not so far out. He named $24,585,000 as the amount likely to be awarded and $20,500,000 ns the amount by right due. In the latter figure he was only about a million
and a half out.
Amongst the big holders are the F.M.S, with nearly 3,000, equal to two and a quarter mil lions, W. G. Gulland nearly three quarters of a milion, J. Cuthbertson nearly ledi a million. The Missions Etrangères about the same. It is to be noted that our old friend Sir H, Mc Calium has a solataim for his Natal troubles 435 shares to realise, whilst Dr. Brown comes in nicely with 350. These figures are calculated on the last shareholders lis! published in Dé- cember last.
What reward is due to the Captain of the Australian steamer, who being commissioned aya lady in the island continent to sell out all her shares at any price when next he arrived in Singapore, found on arrival here that prices were so high that he took his courage both hands and held on tight. Romance would de- mand nothing less than a marriage and living happily ever after. The Captain with so high an order of courage will go far, but he müst have had some anxious moments,
The talk about Singapore flourishing now that it is an "Imperial, naval base" is still current among some even old residents here. Singapore is no more an "Imperial naval base" now than it was, before the incal gov trument expropriated Tanjong Pagar. True, men-of-war, as well as merchant vessels, will more easily and deep water berths for coaling when the new wharves are built (five years hence, say). But men-of-war will coniue do rely on rominercial stocks of coal; on Commercial 5 pplies of provisions; and bu soznaval docks and hon naval machine shops for such small repairs, as can be on dertaken here. There is no immedinic, and little future, hape of Singapore having an Imperial dick vänd establishment for repairing and refitting then-of-war. There is no imme- (712le, and but little future, hope of that 850 11. long dock being constructed to the east of the present dock, in the bight between the wharves and Fort. It is on the plans; and it is likely to be nowhere else than on the plans for many

OF THE MULTITUDES who have used it, or are now using it, we have
never heard of any one, who have been dis. appointed in it. No claims are made for except those which are amply justified by ex parience. In commending it to the afflicted we simply point, to its record. It has done great things, and it is certain to contique the excel, lent work. There is-we may honestly affirm --no medicine which can be used with 'greater and more reasonable faith and confidence. it nourishes and keeps up the strength during those periods when the appetite fails and food cannot be digested. To guard against iniita tions and substitutions, our "trade mark "is put on every bottle of "Wampole's Prepara tion," and without it none is gentine. It is palatable as honey and contains the nutritive and curative properties of Pure Cod Liver, Oil, extracted by us from fresh cud livers, 'com. bined with the Compound Syrup of Hypophos. phites and the Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry. Taken, before meals it creates an appetite, aids digestion, renews vital power, drives nut disease germs, makes the blood rich, red and full of constructive elements, and giver back to the pleasures and labours of the world many who had abandoned hope. Dr. S. H. ** testify with McCoy, of Canada, says: pleasure to its unlimited usefulness as a tissue builder." Its curative powers can always be relied upon. It makes a new era in medicine, is beneficial from the first dose and represents effective medical treatment of the twentieth century. You can trust it as the Ivy does the Ouk? One bottle convinces. Watch carefully against imitations. At all chemists here and throughout the world.

People in the United States have taken up the problem of the openwork bleuse, and the idea has even been mooted that Congress may he induced to act. The indictments against
the transparency of the upper portion of this useful article of dress are, first, immodesty; and, secondly, sins against hygiene.
