There is a strong suspicion that Verlor is perfectly sano. Eight years ago Naylor, enraptured by the beauty of the Princess, wrote her the first of a res markable sories of beautiful letters, and, in - pure ✨ womanliness, the Princess – answered, This condescension brought Another, and with the passage of time the correspondence was continued Letwood the pair, and to the letters Naylor added postry, finally having printed for her be tween elaborate envers, a volume of his verses, bound by his own hands.

So far as can be learned, neither over made an effort to see the other, the affaire- being carried on in an entirely imporsonal and idyllic way. The fact of the secret correspondence was learned recently, and the police immediately took action. Naylor WAB removed to an insane asyluin, and on a drawer in his mother's home containing letters from the Princess a soal was placo 1, Naylor will probably be released on promise to destroy the letters written by the Princess.

Commission, The subway had boon opened scarosly a fort ight before it was evident that it would not be many months before the new road would be na congested! as the elevated and surface cars. It was: then seen that arrangements should. be made for longer trains. As it is now, while the expressos may run with eight to teu cars, the locals, which at certain hours of the day bear the brunt of traffic, must stick to the conventional five or six-cars, as the local stations have been built for that number.

The local station platforms are now 200| feet long, that is for five, or at a pinch, six. ear trains. To lengthen them for eight and ten car trains means they will prac tically be doubled and that nearly 200 feet! of excavation work must be done at each station simultaneously with the unimpeded running of subway trains.

Holes like mine shafts must be sunk somewhere in the streets, and may, for a time entirely block that section of the thoroughfare. One of the greatest problens in the work, as it was when the main sub- way was built, will be the rearrangement of pipes and sewers,

Tot, there are thou- sanda enduring its terrible torture to-day who-are-unaware of the existence of such a valuable and absolute cure as Bile Bearis. The following account at how a miner was completely rid of bleeding piles by this medicine ia but one of many such being daily received by the proprietors of Bile Beans, from grateful sufferers. Describing her husband's suffering, Mrs Tom Metcalte, wife of a miner at Wingate Colliery, Dur- ham, England, says :—

As a consequence of working in wet soams, my husband was for many years a terrible sufferer from bleeding piles. His condition at length got so bad that he had to give up work; and for eleven months he was unable to do a stroke. His agony was at times awful, and he could not sit, stand, nor lie down. The only way he could get a little ease was by going down on his knees before the fire. A loctor who at tended him said an operation was the only thing to cure him. We got him mauy

continued, and he was eventually quite cured.. I am always willing to testify that Bile Beans are without an equsi for piles; we are never without a bottle in the house. Thousands of cases could be quoted similar to the above. In many instances, piles result from constipation; which in turn, arises from defective liver action. Bile Beans stimulate and correct the liver, and thus remove the real cause of the ail- ment. They are also a cure for indiges tion, biliousness, anteria, all female ail- ments, debility, and headache. Bile Beans are obtainable from all chemists and modi- cine vendors.

The Customs Gazette, containing the reports of the Commissioners from the Treaty Ports for the quarter ended December 1904, which is published by the Inspector (ieneral of the Imperial Maitime Customs, affords food for reflection to commercial men.
