Nerve Strain, Weariness, Exhaustion-

To enable me to wear well, says George Hirst, the celebrated Yorkshire cricketer, to get the best out of oneself, Phosferine is wonderfully effec ive, and imparts a marvellous reserve of staying power. Speaking of these very same unique advantages possessed by Phosferine, Charles Gardiner, the winner of the 1gog Marathon, said "Phosferine permanently invigorates and tones up the system, and, in fact, proved my greatest mainstay".

Wherever men gain distinction by severe mental or physical effort, fight pluckily and cheerfully against great odds, it is always upon Phosferine they rely for the power and energy to see them through. To Gardiner, struggling through heat and dust, it meant victory, to George Hirst, overwrought with the nervous tensity and suspense of a critical game, Phosferine means the steady nerves and staying power which onable him to wear well. The splendid form which distinguishes George Hirst's wonderful play, testifies to the energising potency of Phosferine, which, says the redoubtable cricketer, dispels all the exhaustion and weariness caused by, prolonged batting and bowling under a hot sun.

Quite Naturally Overcome.

G. H. Hirst, the wonderful Yorkshire cricketer, Kirkheaton, Yorks writes have found that after a very hard day's work in the cricket field, when my system has felt exhausted and my whole body weary, Phosferine always exerts a wonderfully refreshing, stimulative and restorative effect. When my nerves have been greatly overwrought by the excitement and strain of prolonged bowling and batting under a hot sun, your proparation both calms and strengthens them, and enables -me to wear well throughout the most trying season. Phosferine endows one with marvellous staying power, and is timely use wards off all the ill-consequences to which athletes are especially prone from the nature of their calling-exposure, &c."-May 7, 1909.

In the Edinburgh Court of Session, before Lord Skerrington, one of the judges of that tribunal, preliminary proceedings have been commenced in an sotien technically called "declarator," which seeks to declare the legiti macy of the eldest son of the third Lord Macdonald of the Isles, the representative of one of the oldest and most famous families in Scotland.

The pleadings in the case are not yet closed. and nothing further can be done until the judges of the Court of Session assemble next month, but the proceedings, so far as they have gone, relate to a strange and romantic story centring around an old and almost for gotten princely liaison and a Gretan Green. marriage. Many of the facts are, indeed, well known to history, but family sloonments hitherte unknown to investigators will probably come to __light___

The Prince raferred to was the Duke of Gloucester, a younger brother of George III. and second grandson of George. II. On Sept. 6, 1766, this Prince married a lady of equal beauty and wit, Maxis Dowager Countess of Waldegrave, an illegitimate daughter of Sir Edward Walpole, the rita boing secretly solemnised by her pricate chaplain at her house in Poll-mall. No other persons were present The secret was well kept, though many persons in the entourage of the Court had their suspicions, until after the passing of the Royal Marriage Act, when the Duke notified to George III. bis own clandestine wedding, The King of vuce Inuished him from the Court, and ordered a inquiry into the validity of the marriage. The Dake and Duchess were accordingly examined, and swore to the validity of the ceremony, although by that time the shaplain who per formed it was dead, and no third party attested- it. Although the Duke was so noxious to have his marriage legalised, he was not by any means faithful to it, and was oon engaged, in an amoat with his wife's lady of the bedchamber, Lady Almeria Carpenter, daughter of the last Earl of Tyrconnel. From this liaison daughter was hory, with when the romanes, of the case which has now been entered really begins.

THE HALLEY COMET AS A PORTENT

a

The two most calebrated historical appear. ancse of Hallay's comet.were in 1056 and 1456, The first date was that of the Norma invasion- of England; and eaoli side claimed the comet as a portant in favour of themselves. The Norms said the comet was sat in the heavens to guide Dake William across the channel, and those who have visited the little museum at Bayeux Iwill remember that it forms a notablo. fig. are-in-the-tapestry of the Duchess Matilda, which is kept in a glass case in the second room. In the thirty-second scone of the tapestry is an object like a huge shuttlecock above a castle with a group of Normans staring and pointing st it, striking Anglo-Saxon attitudes by anticipa tion at the same time. The foreraost of them is supposed to be prophesying evil for Harold, and the inscription above them is "Tabi Mirant Stella." William I was a great believer in portants, and he made the most of the comet in his attack upon Harold and the English.

The other famous appearance of the comet was in 1455, whereit spread terror all over Enrope, and in all the churches peoplo prayed" to be delivered from the Turks and the comet. Three years earlier Constantino, the last Em- peror of Byzantium, had died the death of a here on the Sandjakdar Yoknahar, the Saltar Mohammed bad entered the city, and the Church of St. Sophia had become a prosgne. The Crusadies were over, and Christianity seomed" fated to saccumb to Islam, for nothing was able to stop the conquering Moslems Then in 1456 the comet appeared in the bearons, and Europe saw in it the scimitar of Ottman, feretelling the subjugation of Christ endom

Its appearance, according to the ohroniclers of the time, was terrible; it stretched across the sky liko a waving. Brune, and us of the colour of molten geld: The Pope, Calixtas III., ordered that the bells in the churches should be gang overy day at noon, and that aniversal prayer should be offered up td exorcise the portent and to check the d Vanes of the Turks.
