THE TIBET MISSION.

A telegram from Lhassa, dated Septem- bor 7, states that the formal Treaty was signed in the Potala, in the Dalai Lama's apartments.

The ceremonials were perfectly simple and the surroundings moat quaint and picturesque.

The proceedings closed with, a short speech from Colonel Younghusband:

Commenting on the Tibet Mission the Daily Mail says that it has obtained the most valuable rasults, at a comparatively small coat, and warmly congratulates Lord Curzon on his success in his firm and får. sighted policy.

The German Press considers Tibet now

a vassal of Britain, for which reason the

trosty is important.

The Daily Chronicle praises Colonel Younghusband's skill and despatch in carrying out the political side of the Tibet Expedition.

The Daily News says that the treaty is equivalent to annexation, and that Lord Curzon's audacious plot has succeeded.

The following table is a chronologically arranged list of mail steamer sailings to Europe, America, Canada, and Australia. Coast ports, Manila, and All Japan are not given, for steamers are constantly sailing for those ports. the American steamers call at Japan, and the majority of the Australian boats call at Manila, and, in addition to those vessels, special steamers run there. The departure of every steamer is subject to alteration. The P. & O. mails usually reach London in about 28 days, and the French and German in about 28 or 30 days.

MOTHER

SEIGEL'S SYRUP

AIDS DIGESTION-CURES INDIGESTION.

Relish for food and power to digest it are essential to sound health, for only by the digestion and assimilation of food can lost or worn-out bodily tissue be replaced and life sustained. When digestion fails, as in dyspepsia or indigestion, both body and brain are starved, the patient becomes languid and weak, incapable of active, vigorous effort, or clear sustained thought, Headaches, loss of appetite, pains after cating, fulness at the chest, palpitation, anæmia and sleeplessness are but a few of the many disorders which bave their origin in imperfect digestion and nutrition. Thirty drops of Mother Seigel's Syrup, taken daily after meals, makes food nourish you. It gives tone and vitality to the stomach, liver and intestines, thus ensuring the thorough digestion and assimilation of food.

HAS CURED THOUSANDS.

"For three years I suffered greatly from biliousness and indigestion. When I sat down to table I could eat hardly anything. Attacks of vomiting made me quite weak, and I was surprised at the change it effected in my condition. On rising in the morning I was seized with dizziness, and had on several occasions, to go back to bed again. I tried various remedies, but remained in quite the same condition. While at Cape Town, during the war, I heard of the wonderful qualities of Mother Seigel's Syrup, and I decided to give it a trial. After the first bottle the dizziness and bilious feeling left me, and I continued using the Syrup until I felt completely cured."-E. Petersen, Lower End, Main Street, Johannesburg March 29th, igo4.

The Boat Club's crows for the Challenge race at the V.R.C. Regatta in December next are likely to be weaker than last year, and the V.R.C. crew will probably be stronger. The crew for the V. R.

The writer has seen an Arab, gun in hand, pass under the neck of his horse and back again into the saddle from the other side. Again, a more common trick is for the rider to have two gun, and, holding his reins in his teeth, fire one from each shoulder simultaneously. The weight of those long-barrelled flintlocks is such that the very putting of two guns to the shoulder is a feat of strength. Most at- tractive of all these varieties of powder play is perhaps that of the man who, while galloping along, keeps his gun spinning round at a great pace, eventually to throw it in the air and catch it upon his turbaned head, where it remains balanced.

MYSTERY OF THE SEA.

Captain Accused of Sinking His Vessel. Rather than be towed into safety after a storm that had crippled his vessel, Captain Carl Gabrielsen, of the Norwegian barque Sigrid, is alleged to have deliberately sunk his ship in sight of a would-be rescuer.

That was since they left Croydon. In 1900 she went to the Croydon Infirmary, and after she had been there six weeks the husband moved to the present address at Shortlands.

During the whole of the four years since then, said counsel, this poor woman had been a prisoner. She had never been al- lowed to go out into the public thorough- fare. She had not been looked after, and her clothes had been practically the same as those she had when she was married.
