All the anger of the Liberals towards M'nisters who have been nine years in office to be beaten, all the bitter hatred of teaton tallers for brewers, the old resentments of Irishmen, of Nonconformists, and Welsh men wero gathered up into one prolonged, acrimonious, spluttering explosion of indige nation in the House of Commons on July 1.

Mr Balfour's resolution for closuring the Licensing Bill by compartments roused them to fury and union, and inspired Unionists with punctuality and something like onthusiasm. At noon the House was packed, and the crowded benches and gal. leries and gangways betokened the high- strung feeling which found expression in cheers when the leaders of either aide appeared. Mr Asquith and Sir William Harcourt were warmly obeered by the Opposition. When Mr. Balfour, roso they' drowned his voice with shouts of 'Gag gag' till the Speaker intervened.

The Prime Minister was, paler than usual, and appeared slightly nervous as be faced the tornado of ironical cheers, ribald laughter, and mocking interjections which punctuated his speech. He argued from procedent and the necessity that the ma- jority in Parliament should rule that this drastic step to checkmate obstruction was necessary, and, taking up the pile of amendments, declared, 'If justification is neoded, it is there.'

He was vigorously supported by his own party, as he insisted that a Government which allowed itself to be beaten by time would be unworthy of its responsibilitios,

ADVERTISEMENTS.

Asquith had said while leading to Opposi~ tion.

Then he introduced a tragic note when fic characterised procedure by closure as legislation by ukasé, a method which some- timen leads to the assassination of leading Ministers. This also was taken for humour. The notable speech of the afternoon was made by Mr T. P. Whittaker. "So daring and savago was his onslaught on Mr Bal- four that he roused the Unionists to a fury of rage, and Mr Cust tried to stop him. Attacks have been made on Prime Ministers before, said the Speaker, and the attack weat on.

The Prime Minister and the Government are in the bands of the liquor trade Mr Whittaker read out from his notes, evoking such a demonstration of ecstatic choors ns-- bas rarely been witnessed in the House. The Opposition went frantio in its joy.

The life of the Government depends on the votes of the members of the liquor trade in this House, ho thundered. (Wild cheering.) In the division in which they had a majority of thirty-eight were fifty votes of members personally interested in the liquor trade.. (Frantic applause,)

Let the Prime Minister act the part of aman. He. is surrounded by trade infianco. What was the influence which

influence him to knight Sir John Mark, of Manchester, and decorate the Inte chief- constable? (Speechless joy of the Op- position.)

Mr. Balfour took it all very calmly, and checked those followers who sought to stop this flow of invective and in- Bibustion. The Speaker deftly avoided

a scene by switching on Colonel Saunderson instead of the irate Mr Cust, and then he oslled upon Sir Henry Fowler, who for once was attuned to fighting pitch. It was he who threatened a repeal or recasting of the Act after the general election.

Though sitting behind the Ministry of which he was once a member, Mr T. W Russell is invariably opposed to it, and 569 with all the burning earnestness of n

temperance reformer he poured 800rn the Government, and charged them with obstruction because their members would hot attend for divisions.

HAMMERS AND EGGS

I have seau hammers, weighing many ons each and operated by steam, that would crack an egg without crushing it, and yet at one blow smash a lump of iron as big as your head as flat and thin as this sheet of paper. There are so veral such hammers at Essen, in Prussia, where the German Emperor's big guns are made, and at Armstrong's foundry, by the river Type. in England.

I have looked at these hammers with admira tion and awe. They are things to take one's hat oft to. Oh, to have the power of a thunderbolt combinell with muscular control that would en- able me to take a moth between my thumb and Ginger without brushing the four from its wings! And health; too, of course, health which should never, since I began to breathe, have been modified by an ache, a weakness or any physical ▸uggestion that this condition would ever end. But there! if wishes were horses beggars might ride.

Whether the Creator so intended it 1 cannct say, but every human life falls short of the ideal. Here is an extract from a letter written by Mrs. H. C. Oosthaizen, who lives at Stand 875, Hticht Street, Burghersdorp, Transvaal, on April of this year, 1904, in which she tells you actly how she suffered and what the chief If you are suffering from pains Symptoms were.

the stomach, or kidneys, or from rheumatism, or have any of the symptoms she describes, it would be well for you to act on the recommen- lution she gives when she tells you what cured J She says: For nearly fifteen years I I was hardly uffered from kidney complaint. ever free from rheumatism, pains and backache, I became so ill at last that while in the Women's uup at Bloemfontein, during the war, I was taken into hospital and there remained for over two months. The treatment given me by the hospital doctors gava temporary relief and I was discharged from hospital. The rough conditions under which we were living at the time away from all home comforts did not tend toward building up my already shattered state of health. Having some friends in the camp who had been cured by Mother Seigel's Syrup, I visited them and from them heard the wonders of that remedy. I purchased two bottles and began to feel my health improve. I continued using tho Syrup until I was completely cured.

There is no mistaking that story-it in a plain and simple one. But perhaps you would like to know more about the wonderful carative effects of this remarkable medicine in another case--this time the patient being a man. read the accompanying extract from a letter written on March 27th, this same year, 1904, by Mr. X. Norodien, of the Malay Location, Johannesburg. He says: For nine years 1 suffered from severe pains in the vicinity of the kidneys, lost my appetite completely, and could only take milk and beef; anything more sub- stantial would not remain in the stomach. I became so ill that I was forced to take to my A doctor treated me for almost two bed.

On arriving at monthis, but without success. Cape Town at the outbreak of hostilities, a Malay friend told me of the wonderful qualities of Mother Seigel's Syrup. One bottle relieved me, and now I am never without a bottle in my house.'

Only one bottle, he says, cured him, but he has such confidence in the remedy that ho keeps it always handy. He can eat and enjoy and Without fire, no heat.. digest his food now. Without digested food, no strength. That's Nature's law. Relief and caro for digestive disorders reside in Mother Beigel's Syrup.. Cases on which excellent doctors have looked in despair are daily cared by it, and it is constant- ly adding to the working strength and hap piness of the world.

The officers have had hardly time enough to get their meals, and have been reduced to black bread and onions and river water, There is a great scarcity of provisions and shous; and if it were possible to make the blockade sufficiently strict, Port Arthur would fall without further loss of life. Even the Russian officers are wearing Chin- oso shoes.

According to the Chinese, there are now only some seven thousand available Russian fighting men; but according to Russian re- fugees, the garrison, including sailors and volunteers, amounts to about 23,000, exclud ing six to seven thousand sick and wounded.

The Trade Societies, which have accom- plished what used to be regarded as an impossible task-that of organising un- skilled labour-require as their leaders men of character and abilities not always found in a class which regards itself as far above them focially. Upon these officials falls the difficult task of treating with Employers of Labour, arranging disputes, averting whenever tact and clever negotia tion can avert them, organising success when & Strike is inevitable All this is responsible, trying work, and it tells on the men who do it, Mr Rogers' thought- ful, intelligent face marks him as a leader

How To Cone RHEUMATISM. RhoUMB. rism is a Disesse cxused by an acid in the blood. Damp or cold alone cannot cause Rheumatism if the blond is healthy but of this acid exists in the system it will fly To a weak spot--either a joint or a muscle that has been exposed to chill and cause horrible pain. Embrogations and other outward apple tins may relieve the pain. but the di esse can only be prevented from returning by enriching the blood. Good blood and good blood alone can cast out the poisonous acid. DR WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE make good blood. That they curs Rheumatism and other Diseases: that is how they have cured Aucemia (which is weakness arising from having too little blo d), Consun-ption, Fits, Paralysis, and the frequent ailments which women enduru in brave silence. The genuine pills bear Dr Williams' name: sub- Atitutes don't bear Or Williams' name. Genuine pills cure. Substitutes don't cure, That's the difference. Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Holborn-viaduct, Lon- don, will send a hottle post free 2s. 9d. (eix for 134, 9d.); but the pills can be had at all medicine shops if you take care to ask for, and to see in red on the pink package the full name, Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
