only conspicuously elastic items in the Budget of the Autocracy. This year's no- counts are bound to show a heavy fall in the product both of direct and of indirect @taxation, au well as in ordinary railway 're- ceipts. So far from yielding more, the or- dinary" sources of revenue will yield less." The Tsar will have to appeal once more to foreign money lenders.
Some small secret resources there may be, which I have not been üble to take into account. The published Budgets are pro- bably the grossest and most gigantic pieces of trickery in the whole field of interna tional finance. For ten years past, aur- pluses, the notorious free balancea,' have ‚been manufactured simply to give the

And always as a last resort, the State can revert to a paper currency, and impound all the gold reserves of the Treasury and the Imperial Back, which, in the latter case, stand and security against its advances to trading con.
cerns.
The prospect for the bank is in any case gloomy enough, for it has heen dimiuishing its cash asrete and increasing its speculative transactions in recent years. But a return to paper currency would be a crushing blow to Russian credit, and it will bo delayed as long as possible.
In the meantime there is talk of a now German loan. Nothing more can be got in France for a long time to come, and if M. Witte has cajoled the Berlin hankers, ho must have agreed to hard terms. The im mediate need of money on any terms affords an explanation of the present price of Rus- sian bonds in the foreign markets. They are doubtless being kept up by Russian Government purchases. But this sort of thing cannot go on long; and, even if the present crisis is tided over, the day of re- ckoning cannot be long delayed.

The average trade unionist, according to Traction and Transmission, argues on the assumption that Government can do any. thing, and that he is the Government. He fools that there exists a good deal of un. necessary hardship. Kustained by
it is somehow due to a lack of organisation and direction, which cannot be denied. For the world is certainly not overcrowded. There is living accommodation of sorts for all of us, even for the invalid and unfit. But it does not follow that any man may find, or should be entitled to, a full day's comfortable night's rest board and a wherever he may choose to betake himself; get this appears to be a theorgatoutly maintained by labour orators.

THE JOYFULNESS OF FOLLY. What a pleasant thing ie folly! Only those who know very little, or (better still) nothing at ak, appear entirely happy For whereas a fool sincerely believes that he knows everything, wise man is by constant proofe reminded that he knows very little. But stay! There is some thing wrong here. This philosophy won't do. Is ignorance, after all, really happiness? True, a very old proverb assures us that is folly to be wise," but, like most proverbs, we suspect that this one must not be taken too literally. A cer.. tain miser when young buried a hoard of gold in secret place, intending to dig it up for use when he grew old; but his minerly spirit pro “vented him from ever believing that he was suf- ficantly old to need it, though he lived to a great age. As a matter of fact, the miser was obrery- ad burying his gold by a man who dug it up and made off with it the very next day; but the miser never know this. Hate, now, was a cas of ignorance being bliss. B-t for every once that "ignorance in bliss" It pells ruinous di-as- ter a thousand times. In piping times of peace and prosperity the folish jog along joyfully; but warfare, whether military or commercial, sorts into the two camps the foolish and the wise. Pickners does the same thing with even greater exactitude. Most of us have been sick
in the course of our lives, and all of us must he. But unfortunately, not all of us have the Food fortune to be told-as Mr David Brown, of 29,

of the committee, and on Friday last there was a ceremony at the Mosque. Witness arrived at the Mosque at about 8.30. [Mr Hastings: The whole question is whether he was late for church or not]. The ceremony was then partly over but he was in time for prayer. The dofendant was also there, and after prayer they shook hands, and witness asked him why the service was so early, as in former years it was always held at 9 o'clock. He told the defendant that he ought to give them a chance. De fendant replied No chance, before you were a small boy but now you are a man.' They then walked out on to the compound and the defendant said to witness that he had no right to question him as he was not the son of a Prince, adding *If

Laxatine being non-irrit able will be found a great boon, to ladies especially, and in cases where the kidneys are irritable or discased. Lazatine is strongly recommended by the Continental Authorities and is being largely used in the London hospitals. Messra A, S. WATSON & Co.

Winifred Partridge, whose husband is a chemist, living at 53 Cleveland Park- avenue, St. James', Wal hamstow, Lonton, mentions this so one of the first symptoms of the terrible Nervous Breakdown from which she was renoued by Dr Williams' Pink Pilla,
Up to six months ago, said ahe, I suffered terribly from giddiness and loss of memory. Often
I became unconi- acious. I remem- ber once col. lapsing in the garden, and Thought I was dying. Two noted Dctora had me under treatment for

A friend told me about the good Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People had done her. I was then almost bolpless, but decided to see whether they could do me any good. You can imagine my joy when, having taken a bottle I began to feel better. After I bad taken five or six bottles of Dr Williams' Pink Pills the cure was complete. That was about six months ago, and since then I have been in good, sound health. I find that by means of the pills I maintain my health s'eadily.'
Nervous-breakdown means nerve star vation. Dr Williams' Pink Pills feed the Norves by making new blood. They create new appetite, improve the digestion and restore the lost energy, while tired, starved, delicate nerves are soothed and strengthen. ed. It is the new blood they make which dons this. That is the secret of the thou- sands of cures effected by Dr Will ams' Pink Pills, to which the Dr Williams' Medicine Co. have permission to refer in all parts of the country. Whatever diseases arise from too little blood, or blood that lacks richness and purity, they can cure, just as surely as food cures hunger. The genuine pills always bear Dr Williams' name, and substitutes are useless and fraudulent. Dr Williama' Medicine Co. will send a bottle post free for 2a. 9d, to any address. It is by making new blood that they cure Anemia, Bile, Consumption, Indigestion, St. Vitus' Dance; it is by making pure blood that they cure Rheu- matism. Kidney Disease, Eczema and all Skin troubles. They give strength to everyone, especially to women, who know why they need new blood more often than their husbanda and brothers, Sufferers are invited to address Dr Williams' Corre. spondence Dept., 46 Holborn-viaduct, Lon don, describing their symptoms.
