A Lay Preacher

Brain Fag, Nervous Exhaustion-

Just a shangs of opinion was enough to give Mr. W. King his present prosperity, for he realised in the nick of time that his way was not curing bis bruin fag and nervous exhaustion, so he tried the Phosferine way, Mr. King's method was to ignore his despondency and feeling of collapse, and persuade himself there was nothing unusual in the painful fatigua the lightest effort to work cost tim, until, as he steadily got worse, he resolved to drop his own opinion and see what Phosferine could do. The result was so astonishingly beneficial, even after a few doses, that the brain fag and nervous exhaustion ceased entirely, enabling him to do more work than before and yet not feel the strain. This remarkable advantage is seen in the extraordinary energy and vigour of Mr. King's public speaking, and so amazingly have his prospects improved since his speedy recovery, that he declares, he had to come forward with the evidence of the magnificent benefit he derived from Phosferine.

Quite Gone-Never Return.

Mr. W. J.King, School House, Trumpington Rd., Forest Gate, London, E, writes: I am writing to add my name to the list of those people who bave found Phosfering to be the Greatest of all Tonics. Some time back I was very much run down through overstrain brought on by incessant bodily exercise and mental application. The usual tendency of mankind is to give up some of their work, have a rest, and at the same time take medicine, so I endeavoured to hep going on without suhing advice, but as I was getting worse I found that policy would not do. Having heard. many friends speak about Phosferine, ful one in particular offering me st ho, I decided to give it a trial. Purchasing a 2/6 bottle, I began to doctor myself. The result not only astonished me, but others also noticed how much better I was, even althongh I had only taken a few doses. I found I could do the same amount of work easier, and at present am able to do more than before and yet not feel the strain. 1 bave a good deal of public speaking, and I find an occasional dose of Phosferine is a great benefit."-May 28, 1912.

The one dissentient voice is that of Cheung Chan which was best in burn by plague and by pirates. The attack by pirates, involving as it did the death of three Indian constables, was probably the most serious outrage in the history of the means of communication with Ilongkong district and showed the necessity of some

Thirty-five auctions were held during the year and 14 sales by private treaty. In all 1.70 acres were sold with a premium of 81,188.00 and Crown Rent of $166.15. Fifty-eight lots were resumed, 41 of these being in connection with im provements at Ap Lin. The total area of resumed land was 11.37 acres at a cost of $4,833.18. Fifty-four lots were voluntari ly surrendered and b4 were re-entered for failure to pay Crown Rent

Nine grave certificates were issued.

V.L-UEVENUE

The transfer of Tsun Wan to the Southern District makes a comparison with last year's returns misleading. Teun Wan represents a Crown Rental of $3,200: Excluding this amount the Crown Rent collected in 1912 falls short by $860 of that collected in 1011. This is ac- counted for partly by late payments in, 1910 which were credited to 1911 and partly by certain half-yearly payments of which both instalments were credited to 1011 but one only to 1918. It is noticeable, that only 27 short of the full collection was collected during the year.

Tsun Wan is also accountable for the increased revenue from forestry licences,

and water.

the year 1912, just published, notes that the total of the shipping entering and clearing at ports in the Colony during the year 1912 amounted to 488,619 vessels of 30,785,149 tous, which, compared with figures for 1013, shows a decrease of 51,046 vessels, with an increase of 555,907 tous.

Of the above, 46,603 vessels of 24,269,270 tons were engaged in Foreign Trade, as against 44,078 of 23,003,108 tons in 1911, and were distributed as follows:-
