to devote her life to what scoms to us the noblest of all callings. It is not enough that she should have a deep spiritual. in- sight into the religious life, not enough that she should be ready to sacrifice all selfish, and worldly ends to her vocation-no, to her moral excellences and her spiritual vir- tues she should join a firm mental grasp of Biblical science, so as to be able to cope with the growing scepticism of the present day, which in a large measure is due to an utter ignorance of the historical growth and development of the Biblical books.

ACUTE INDIGESTION” ENDED.
A
ANOTHER BILE BEAN TRIUMPH.
LL sufferers from indigestion should know that there is no speedier, safer, and more economical specific. For this com- plaint than Bile Beana. Miss Rose Taylor, of Ono Ash, Chester Road, Erdington, Birmingham, England, speaks of the value of Bile Beans from personal experience. I have suffered acutely for years from indigestion she says. After my meals I had acute pain and a sense of fulness, which made me feel as if I should choke. Because of this feeling and the pain which accom- panied it. I dreaded meal time coming. Often I have preferred to go without food at all rather than suffer the pain__which food caused. I always had a dull, tired, listless feeling, pains across the chest, tending sometimes to between my shoul ders, and headache. If I took fond con~ taining much suit, a rash would break out on my face.
'I tried a great number of medicines, but obtained no relief. One day a friend sug- gested that I should try Bile, Beana as she said they bad done her a lot of good. I tried them and found a differenca in my condition. Thereupon I continued regu- larly with the Beans until day by day I improved. The pains vanished and with them the nausea, the sensation of fulness, and the choking feeling. I rapidly gained energy, and was able to take a livelier interest in things generally. In fact, the Beans made me an altogethor. changed being from what I was when I commenced to take them. I am now quite cured, and have no hesitation in expressing my opinion that Bile Beans are the finest known medi- cine for all digestive and liver disorders.'
Bile Beans, which effected the above marvellous cure, are purely vegetable in substance, and are the product of the latest scientific research. They are a certain cure for indigestion. flatulence, pain in the chest, headache, constipation, pills. debility, dizzi- ness, female ailments, and all liver and Obtain ble from · all kidney troubles. chemists and medicine vendors.

In summer, or just at the end of spring, all the hillsides under cultivation are one waving mass of bright grean, for it is then that the guinea grass, which is hore sown, is ready for the scythe of the reaper. Just now the hillsides are dotted with short green turfa, apparently methodically ar ranged, which gives the impression of a Chinese vegetable garden, where.cabbages, in particular, are grown.
On entering the farm the gobbling of the turkeys and the cackling of the fowls are the main sounds that break the silence, bat later on one can hear the lowing of the kine, and the discordant grunt of the. pigs that are exploring the hidden myste- ries contained in their troughs.

With regard to Southern business, the demand from the rice ports has remained Black and no masterial change for the butter can be expected until the new grain is coming to the market, which will not be for some time to come.

There are still small onquiries in the market, Saigon to this at 15 cents per picul or slightly better, but it is impossible to procure tonnage on that basis-Saigon to. one port Philipps, a small carrier has been fixed at 31 cents per picul and another boat or two could probably he placed to fill old contracts.
