strong opposition the Pitman Institution SERVICE OF THE HONGKONG, CANTON AND MACAO STEAMBUAT O )., LTD. shows to all systems that appear to have any good and original ideas, and has been the mess of casting aside temperarily sover al now shorthands and at least three splen- lid mothods to my knowledge, far superi- or to the one named, invented over 60 years back by a Schoolmaster. Pitman's is obso.
lete; and as different as the candle burned by Pitman, and the electric light as used by the up-to-date system. Sir Isaac Pitman told me
at our last interview that our method as to certain strokes was a clever

inception, and I volunteered that so long as he lived I would not introduce the new system to the Public. I kept my word, I is the remaining partners that are so anxious to retain the Pitman Institute, and not one of whom I am certain know a lesson in the one I am so successfully introducing throughout the world. I do not lay claim to be the sole inventor, but only one of seven practical reporters from
the British Houses of Lords and Commons and High Courts.
I am prepared to touch Titman system to any idiot who is anxious to devote three years, as against as many months; and ten times the cost. I am, Sir, &c.,

'That is easy,' said his friend. How did he arrange the candles, and how many hours was he able to read 7
Answer. The student would be able to read for seven hours. He burned for four hours the five hours and six hours candles, which at the end of four hours would still
burn respectively one hour and two hours. These two pieces he burned along with the three hours candles, which he had not yet used.
THE FOUNDATION-STONE. ; In the recent storm a building in the north of England, erected last century, was wrecked, and the builders, in rebuilding, placed the original foundation-stone, bear- ing only the date of erection, upside down. Nobody noticed its reversal, however, and it did not matter.
When was the building erected? Answer.-The building was erected in 1881. If this paper is turned upside down these figures will remain the same.
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE HIM? How long will it take you to climb this pole ?' said Harry to his little playmate.
The pole was twenty feet high, and Neville climbed at the rate of four feet a minute. But each minute, having climbed four feet, he slipped back three.
How long did it take Neville to reach the top?
Answer. Seventeen minutos. In six- teen minutes Nevill would have climbed sixteen feet, but the next minute, being at the top, he would not slip back.
THE STREET OF HOUSES.,
How many numbers shall we want?" asked a workman who was re-numbering a street.
The numbers had been removed and the last one forgotton, and the man was count- ing the houses.
'You need not do that,' said his friend.. The old numbers began at the bottom. of the street on the left side, going con- LECTURES FREE, at 1 to 6 and 1 to 8 r.M.

'PASSION AT PARTIES.”
The Coon Song.

•Passion at Parties.' She attended the gathering in question, at the invitation of a pretty female friend,
* As I was an- nounced a young marchioness of the strict-

In A jet my nervousness I stopped un head which had fallen from some dress tritaming on to the floor. The noise of the breaking bead disturbed the rapt lis teners; I was stared at; the Lord Lieuten. ant's wife said, sternly, 'Hush' and my apology was drowned by a further cry from the marchioness to the effect that she was Tho her love's, and he and she were one. next singer was a girl-a shy creature who blushed when the curate offered her some muttins. Nevertheless, she burst, withou a qualm, into a cool song which, in Grosk, would have been indecent, and in plain English, revolting. But as it was written in a sham dialect, its grossness scoped un- tirely acceptable to the bearers, all of AN my whom were quite the nicest poapl». pretty friend told me afterwards.'
I have heard songs sung in all languages (continues Mr Craigie), and in many cities
of the world (I have not always been a recluse); I cannot be shocked, and every thing which is commonly called improper is, to mo sither tragic, or insane, never, by any chance, funny.

TOO MUCH FOR ONE MAN. There is no art of which it is more difficult to obtain a complete mastory then the healing art, human ailments being so many and complicated. But that which taxes the physician's skill most is what is called diagnosis, the finding ont exactly what it is that troubles the patient. la anany cases this is a more difficult task than the proper treatment. Nothing is more cominon than for people to be ill, yet quite unable to gay what is the matter with them. When the patient noles his own 85metoms, and can state them intelligently, his case is greatly simplitied, though even that will not always ensure correct treatment. The people who have died from being treated for one disease while suffering from another are legion; to take one celebrated instruce only, such was the fate of Italy's greatest painter, Raphael.

aonto indigestion. I tried large number of plan may be had at 'CHINA MAIL,
medicines supposed to be cures for this complaint but received not the least benefit from any of thom. Certainly, it was not from any want of perseverance on my part that they failed, I was despairing of relief when one day a friend recommended me to take a course of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, which he asserted had an unequalled record for the cure of cases such as mine. I accepted his advice (though with- ,out any great expectations of good from It) and was moat agreeably surprised to discover a marked improvement in my condition result from the very first bottle. Thus encouraged to persevere with its use, I did not neglect to con- tinue to take it when I came to this country. Now my digestion is as good as anybody's could be-thanks to Mother Saigel's Curative Byrup, a medicine that I never fail to recommend when- over opportunity offers, for it gives me genuine pleasure to do so. I am deeply grateful for the very real benefit I have derived from that ex- traordinary remedy."
Mr Zoti's experience is shated by many thonsands of men and women in every part of the world. With testimony such as Mr-Zoli volunteers, volumes might be filled; but it is needless. There is nothing people remember more vividly, or with keener appreciation, than what has rescued them from physical painand mental depression, two inseparable evils, com bined in indigestion.

A SAINT WITH A BAD NAME.
DREAD ST. VITUS' DANCE CURED BY DR WILLIAMS PINK PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE,
WHAT BISS THEY HAVE DONE.
Snus. It comes from hungry, ex- T. VITUS DANCE is the type of many hausted Nerves. Eo do Neuralgia, Spinal Weakness, and Paralysis; so do many aches and pains that trouble men and women, without their being able to tell the cause of them. The way to cure them is to feed the Nerves; and that is where so many people make a mistake, They try to cure themselves with drugs that deaden, and tonica that only whip up the tired
norves.
That's the old-fashioned way. Tinker at the symptoms; neglect the cause of the
discase.
Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People begin at the other end. They act on the Nerves through the blood. They cure the Cause of the disease first, and the aches and pains that are the effect of it suon vanish. That's the new-fashioned way—the reason. able way. And Dr Williams' Pink Pills are the greatest of all Tonics because they are the only rational Tonic.
St. Vitus Dance is a disease that is getting more und inore frequent in our schools. Young people tire their Nerves with study, and the Nerves cry out. Some times St. Vitus' Dance is their cry. Some times the trouble takes the form of Nouralgia, Headache, Nervous Exhaustion, weakness of the limbs and muscles, and what we call being Run Down.'
