109 Messina Avenue, West Hampstead. Dear Sirs, I have for years been a sufferer from chronic bronchitis. Three years ago I wrote for a bottle of Angler's Emulsion, and found so much benefit from taking it that I have since never been without it. Its ourative effects are remarkable, and I consider it invaluable in bronchitis. My little grand-daughter has also been greatly benefited by its use. She is troubled with a persistent cough, which only yields to the Emulsion. I have recommended it to many of my friends, and shall continue to do so.

He pointed with his goat-to beprd toward the dizzy heights of Pappanbor Island.. "It's never been done!" cried Merton "Hasn't it, though? quoth his companion. "Make no mistake. Mr. Merton, life hasn't always been so soft and agreeable as it is now- adays for the Christian communities dwelling in these parts; and, if history be correct, I calotilate they must have had some uncommonly interestiur experiences in former times. For instance, if you and I had been miling into this peaceful little harbone on a particular occasion some three hundred odd years back, wo might have seen a wholo population of Christians, men, women and children, leaping over youder cliff, while aquads of little Jop soldiers politely assisted them to get over quickly and make room for their friends. That was when Taico Same was Emperor of Japan; and he was a wise man in his way.”

"Bat the Japanese have changed for the better since then, observed Merton, gazing intently upon that tragis scene.

Changed, yes," drily asecuted the skipper: "as much changed as a snake is when it har wriggled itself out of its old skin by reason of the fact that the covering was worn out and too thin to be serviceable."

"Always that confunded pessimism of yours; you're cursed with it" langbed Morton, "and it makes for snepision, of everyone. You do aur plucky little ally an injustice."

"Call it passiraism or what you like, Mr. Merton. I call it American commonsense, and that's the commodity we deal in most. Don't you believe. I miscalculate the Japs any more than I miscalculate the lay of their loud, They're as date and as busy as bees--that I admit, and when old China Fohn over yonder fairly wakes up and lifts his other leg out of the grave of his worshipful ancestors, and thes yellow peoples begin pleasing one another with their chin-chinning, and other little arts and oivilities, then look out for squalls. There'll be feasting for them, and thero'li bé ractions for w if we don't go down on our marrow-bones and orawl for the crumbs we want from their table."

That is your view of the altaation," said Merton rather tartly, but I am inclined to take a different one and to regard their emolation of our customs and contrivances as a compliment which goes far to prove the sincerity of their friendship. If not, why do they give us such a jolly cordial welcome to their country

Well," responded the skipper, you bet they found that the old class of hive wouldn' work at a profit and was open to spoilation, so they adopted the new style and invited us wise bees of the west to bring our notions over here and pat civilized sections into their hives and preparo them for the honey. The contract is about finished, I guess. But you may bet your boltom dollar, hir. Merton, they don't zutend that we shall gather or guzzle any of the honey not much! They want it all for them salves, and more than they are likely to get a present, considering there's a big Russian bear Ioafing about and trying to steal the honey In this part of the world they work on the her principle, and there are no work-houses or play. houses for the poor drones; so they must all
