LIFE'S HAPPIEST PERIOD. When an ancient Greek philosopher was asked which he considered was the happiest time in a man's life he promptly selected the period between the ages of forty and forty-five On being pressed for the reasons which induced him to make this selection, the philosopher added: 'At forty a man, if he be intelligent, has lost his illnsions, and looks upon the world as it is, not as he would like it to be. He is

still young enough to partake of the pleasures of youth, yet has sufficient experience never to permit his heart to rule his head; is moderate in all things, and wisely shy of hazardous enterpriser." On being farther asked which he considered the happiest time in a woman's life, the philosopher paused a long while, and when at last he replied bo prefaced bis answer by asserting that this was the more difficult question of the two. Finally he said: • When she is too old to be called a girl, and not old enough to be called a woman without the word young g" prefixed to it. I am unable to be mare definite, for the differences among women are greater than the differences among men. The healthy young woman sees only the brightest side of life, and to her vision the faturo is illed with golden possibilities of which the mental anticipation is delightful.

In this pronouncement it will be noted that the wise old Greek uses the word 'healthy' in a qualifying sense. Omit that word and the sentence at once loses more than half its truth. Here is a case which will prove our statement. From the age of nineteen until I completed my twenty-third year, I did not know what it was to be well for a single day,' writes Mrs R. Huntley, of G, Ultimo Road, Ultimo, Sydney, N.S.W., under date 19th June, 1902. 'But for Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup it is doubt- ful if I should be hero to day to describe my experiences. My ailment was chranic bilionsNERH and dyspepsia. Words are inadequate to convey a couception of my sufferings during that miserable period. I was then a tailor's machinist, employed in that capacity by Messrs. Golferson & Smith, of the Royal Arcade, Sydney. Ordinary food was poison to me, and I was obliged to exist on soda-w milk, `plain biscuits, and dry toast. Even int, fare would- Bometimes distress me to an intolerable degree. My skin turned sallow, my eyes sank and were surrounded by dark, hollow circles. I slept only by tits and starts, ray alumbers being haunted and harmssed by horrible drents and nightmares. There was a dull contiunos prin between my shoulders and in my right side. I grow thinner, until I was reduced to me skin and bone, and became so weak that I could hardly walk to my place of business. Often the rise of my sewing machine, and the close! sir of the workroom, would bring on a splitting headache that maddoned me. Then there were tits of retching ans vomiting, which troubled me with great frequency. Whou there was nothing in the stomach to come up. I would retch and strain until became exhausted and faint, when my workmates would improvise a couch for me with their cloaks and jackets, and I would lie for hours unable to move, I was treated by three doctors: but I believe the medicines they prescribed irritated my stomach and did me more harm than good., After four years of misery 1 was persuaded to try what Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup could do for me, aud within a few daya began to mend at such at rate that eveyone who know me was pżed at the improvement in my condition. The vomiting censed, she has of health returned to my cheeks, my eyes bright red, aut at the end of two unts 1 was in very respect thoroughly

cared.'

With reference to our co-operation with Germany, Mr Balfour strongly deprecated the continued fanning of international animosities which was a great source of international wonkness. Increasing the use of co-operation by the Great Powers was essential to the preservation of peace and the advancement of civilization.
