BILIOUSNESS.

There are many causes of this complaint, but they all spring from a disordered liver which does not properly fulfil ita functions, especially in a warm climate, when it becomes sluggish in its action. The bile is turned from its proper channel, and enters the blood, and the person so affected is demoralised throughout his entire system.

The presence of biliary poison in the blood C1 upsets the entire digestive system; and is the chief.

A SECRET OF AFRICA.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY IN LAND UNTRODDEN BY WHITE MEN.

The romance of the Empire is perhaps not realised to the full by those who stay at home. The following account of the remarkable £3,000,000 railway soon to be begun in Nigeria, and to run 500 miles through a strange and dangerous country incredibly rich in coal and palm-oil, will therefore help to a realisation of British enterprise in a land destined to become something like an Eldorado of Africa.

THE MODERN NOVEL

DISAPPEARANCE OF THE LOVE MOTIVE. Discussing the autumn publiabing sea- son in the Bookseller, “Jacob Omnium" has some interesting remarks to make on the growing subordination of the love- motive in the modern novel. His text is a recent remark by Mr. Andrew Melrose, who said :—~

We have very few novels submitted to us nowadays in which love, romantic or otherwise, is the main motive. The love novel which is a love novel and nothing A love interest still characterises the more appears to be going out of fashion. majority of novels, but it takes a secondary place.

A' CHANCE, DINCOVERY. For years past attention has been directed to the necessity for opening up a part of Africa which is not only the most thickly populated region on the continent, but also includes the richest palm oil helt in the world, and after the discovery of a coal-field at di extending for over a thousand square miles, and yielding coal showing 75 per cent, of the Vilie of the best Welsh coal, the question of a railway became more pressing. The great dificulty has always been that the shallow mangrove swamps have made the construction of railways and wharves impossible.

THE EXASPERATING VICTORIAN

an no sure, though, that the most exasperating thing about the averago commonplace Victorian novel, was not its habitual reliance upon the pathetically unconvincing lived-happily-ever-after formula. Invariably the hero and the heroine were allowed to disappear from the reader's ken at the hymenical altar" just when the real drama of their lives was beginning and it was supposed to be an accepted conclusion that their sub- sequent existence was one of unalloyed bliss and ideal harmony, enhanced rather thor diminished by the infant vices of an abundantly muneris pro- wondering, in some cases, whether they geny One can remember enguely- really did er could live happily ever after in such circumstances, and how Owing to the energy of the Nigerian the special characteristics of some parti- Marine Department, and the remarkable cularly romantic hero or heroine would discovery of Lieutenant Hughes the have stood in real life the test of an situation : is now entirely changed after existence of conventional and pro- Recently the latter foundi hitherto sale domesticity.

On this discovery being raporteil, the Governor, in March last, commissioned the Director of Railways and the Director of Mating to investigate the matter, and as a result it was established that the newly discovered creek, though not shown any nap, is really the main channel of the Bonny Hiver.
