From the earliest morning the pilgrims began to gather round the foot of the mountain, They came from Silgo and Athlone, from Galway and the wilds of Connemara, They came from Lough Conn and every part of Mayo. The red-petticoated women with bare legs came from Achill. One could not estimate how many camo. Was it three

There were a great many, and by eight in the morning the straggling lines from overy quarter began to converge upon the main pilgrims' path, till from foot to summit it was like a dark mountain stream, That was a long and difficult climb. It took nearly three hours, and the wild weather made it more toilsome. Where the mountain gave the path no shelter from the west, the wind rushed down upon us and struck us off our fent as though with blows. Storms of drenching rain kopt sweeping over

One could seo nothing but the next uncertain step, and it felt as though the fall of one would bring the whole string of us tumbling down to the bottom. But it was an Irish crowd, and if one of us stumbled or fell, or was blown off the track, those around him, instead of growling, 'Damn your soul,' as an English crowd would have done, only said, 'God bless. you, or God save you and send you safe to the top.
At intervals here and there a few bare- logged, women had clustered under the shelter of a few stones, and were already deep in prayer. Some who had shoes and stockings took them off and
clambered over the loose stones bare foot to increase the splendour of the way. Some, with the same object, struck out a wandering route away from the track or followed the ancient Stations of the Cross. A little tent had been set up as s robing-room for the Archbishop of Tuam, the Bishop of Achonry and other priests. Just before noon they passed in their vest- ments into the low chapel lighted by one or two flickering candles, and entirely open to the air but for that corrugated iron roof. During the consecration and elevation a violent storm of freezing hail and rain foll upon us, and the gale increased in fury; but not a man's head was covered, and all strove to kneel, though the crush made it almost impossible.

What tragedy of childishness or sorrow for children may have been signitied, one could not know, but during the whole service she remained with uplifted hands prostrate upon that piece of corrugated iron as the most holy place on earth.
When service was over, thero should have been a procession, and all the little banners with their Irish inscriptions were ready to be attached to the baro poles scat. tered among the crowd. But the tempest was too pitiless for banners, and, without furthor ceremony, the Archbishop, in pur- ple biretta, addressed the people upon 8t. Patrick's life and the spiritual meaning of the day's celebration. Even his great voice could not be heard far under the deluge and storin, though the crowd cheered him with enthusiasm, both for his eloquence and his courage in coming.

CHARLES FORDE'S BILE BEANS.
WHAT THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY DO.
SCIENTISTS have for a long time been
aware of the great superiority of vegetable medicines over those containing nineral poisons; and some years back, Mr Charles Forde, an eminent scientist, con- ceived the idea of so utilising the essences of certain Australian plants that their well- known healing properties might be made useful to modern man. By long and caro- ful investigation and experiment, he st last gained the knowledge required. He found himself the discoveror of a natural vegetable substanco which acted on the liver and digestive organs directly and more effectively than any medicine known. The best laboratories, the most modern plant, and all that science dictated as being bost for the purpose was requisitioned in the compounding of this substance into con- vonient medicine, form, and the result of it all was the production a few years back of the most perfect medicine of modern timos. This medicino was produced in the form of small beans, which being prepared for action on the liver, were called Bile Beans,'
Being the product of recent science, Bile Beane, on their first appearance," "ex perienced hard fight of science versus quackery; hut the issue was soon decided by the public, with the result that 'Bile Beans began to rapidly displace the old. cases harmful imperfect, and in some medicines, which have been in use for fifty or sixty years. and which, like all old forms, are behind the times, and cor- respondingly imperfect. Most of these remedies contain bismuth, iron or some harmful animal or mineral substance, and if taken in quantities, produce ovils worse than those they may temporarily relieve. Bile Beans, without the slightest discomfort, prompt the liver and digestive organs to not in nature's normal way, leaving those organs strengthened and stimulated to continue the performance of their duties without further assistance.
Charles Forde's Bile Beans for Bilious- ness are a cure for indigestion, angınia, weakness, female ailments, heat fag, malaris, neuralgia, lumbago, rheumatism, debility, palpitation, pains in the back, piles, constipation, sleeplesanosa, Jose of appetite, liver complaint, headache, flatul ence, pimples, skin eruptions and all ailments, having a common origin in iu- purity of blood, a general congestion of the system and loss of vital force.

The decision of the Court was adverse to the defendant's title and plaintiff claimed $950 deposit, 8137.16 interest, making a total of 81,087.16. Plaintiff waived the sum of $87.16, to bring the action within the juris- diction of the Summary Court.
Mr A. C. Holborow (of Messrs Deacon, Looker and Deacon) appeared for the plaintiff and stated that Mr G. K. Hall Brutton, who had represented the first defendant, had withdrawn from the case. Mr Bolborow stated that two applications referring to the same piece of land, Serial Nos. 133 and 1087, had been made, the former being withdrawn and the latter being disallowed. When evidence was called on those points, however, it was not clear that both applications referred to the land in question, and His Honour reserved judgment.
