Nervous Breakdown

NURSE HALL, c/o Mrs. Bassett, Commercial Place, Landport, Portsmouth, Eng., writes "I was suffering from nervous breakdown with Internal Neuralgia, when I began a course of Phosferine. After having taken it for three or four months, I felt better than 1 had done for two years previously, and consider it the best tonic I have ever tried. As a remedy for all pervous disorders I think there is nothing to equal Phosferine, especially as I was given up by more than one doctor previous to taking Phosterine, and can now say I am perfectly well and strong, and have taken nothing else."

No other medicine has received such absolute proof of its extraordinary propenies in restoring Shattered Constitutions,

"COLLISION

· CABE 'FOR DEFENCES

The case against the P. & O. Co. in connection with the Hokusei Maru. Oriental collision was continued on Thurs day in H.B.M. Supreme Court at Shanghar before Sir Il de Bausmarez, Chief Judge, and Captain Powlett and Mr. P. M. B. Lake, Nautical Assessors,

Mr. Platt, opening for the defence, said he was sorry to say the Oriental story differed a good deal from that of the | Hokuci Maru, The Oriental, owned by defendants, was a big steamer with a gross tonnage of 5,949 and net 3,085. Her length was 481ft breadth 48; and depth, 34 Bho carried a master, fivo deck officers, six engineers, and a crew of 138; she was engaged in the run between Shanghai and Japan. On th March she had completed 120 voyages and Captain Valentini had been in command all those voyages. She arrived at 2 a.m. and anchored. Her draft fore was 20ft. 3ins and aft S2ft 3ins. On coming up, the Captain, three or four officers, and quartermaster were on the bridge, another quartermaster was at the wheel, and a third at the telegraph. The first officer was at the bow with several deck hands | and the second was aft When below Woosung Creek the Oriental saw a Blue Funnel boat and the Japanese between No. 1 and 2 Buoys At 6.57 cm, the Oriental was at No. 4 Buoy and the Hokuses Murn was 1,000 feet below the Kajow Creek. The Japanese was pro- ceeding on the Pootung side. Captain Valentini would say he decided to pass her near No. 5 Buoy and he gave the signal of a long blast followed by a short one. This he repeated twice. Before the Kajow Creek was reached he noticed the Hokusel Mart coming over to starboard a little, The Oriental thought she was merely part ing to keep the trend of the river and whistled and repeated & port helm blast. When the Hakusei Maru got off Kajow Creck the Captain noticed her sheering over to the starboard side of the Channel; He immediately recognised there was danger, stopped the engines, and put them full speed astern. The Hokutel | continued to come over until the collision took place The Oriental struck her amidships on the starboard side at an angle of between 45 degrees and 60 degrees The collision was close to No. 5. Busy. The Oriental's engines had been going astern for two minutes and so she had very little way on. The blow was a com: paratively light one. They drifted past No, 5 busy and the Oriental was then manœuvred out and backed into the channel. The Hokusei went ashore on the Shanghai side and boats were lowered From the Oriental and took off about 20 Chinese. Finding no further assistance required the Oriental proceeded to Shang- hai, The Oriental saw the down-coming steamer, but considered they could pass the Hakutes before she reached them. The Oriental said the collision Decurred on account of the Hobuset sheering cross the river and crossing their bows. If that had not been done the Oriental could have cleared.

Mr. E. Jones, first officer, Oriental, said he held in extra master's certificate and was a lieutenant of the R.N.B. In answer to Mr. Platt, he corroborated the opening statement. He saw the Hokuset sheering right across

His Lordship-Suddenly ? A-Yes. They struck her very gently. He ordered the men off the foe'sle, but when they saw her striking so gently the order was not carried out. He shouted to the Hokuse, but saw no one until just direct ly before the collision. He thought he heard the Hokuser captain then order

WOMAN'S SPIDER SENSE.

INSTINCTIVE DETECTION OF INSECT'B

E PRESENCE,

TEA DOCTOR'S EXPERIENCE,

A medical correspondent writes to the mes

A case of a most remarkable kind has just come to my notice. A few weeks ago, while on a visit to the country, I met a young man who informed me that his wife possessed a most extraordinary sixth sense in regard to spiders. She could detect the presence of a spider in any room she happened to be living in, with gut having seen the insect or, indeed, if one may so put it, without having any reason to suppose that it was there. The discovery was accompanied by violent sickness, malaise, and even debility, hab all these symptoms at once passed away when the spider was caught and remored from the room

were

I had heard of such cases, and revol fected having read a story in one of the medical papers some years ago in which a somewhat similar state of affairs was desoribed, yet found it hard to believe that actual detection of go small an insect could occur as it **by instinet. However, my doubts were set at rest a few nights later when the lady referred to joined her husband at the house where we were staying. In the middle of the light my new acquaintance came to my room and asked me to attend his wife, who had become very unwell. He added, She declares there is a spider in the bed-room, but I cannot find one this. time." I followed him and found his wife in a state which suggested sudden collapse. She was very pále, with a feeble pulse and rapid breathing Sho declared that she felt dreadfully sick " and that she was absolutely certain that there was a spider somewhere in the room. Bo insistent wa she on this point that, to humour her, but without in the least believing her story, ter husband and I lit a candle and searched every nook and cranny of the room. We found nothing, and were about to give up the rather ridiculous pursuit, when the patient suddenly announced that she had a feel- Ing” that the spider was upon the mantelpiece. We looked there and had satisfied ourselves that she was quite mistaken when it occurred to me to lift the edge of the once surrounding the woodwork. As I did so a large black spider ran quickly along the cloth towards a hole in the wood and disappeared. The husband and I looked at one another and reigned to him to afford no indication of what had occurred Bat just then a sigh of relic! from the bed, accompanied by the remark, "At last you have found it," proved to us the futility of our precaution.

The

sixth sense had not failed. U",

Within shout half an hour the patient. was quite well again, and, on being assured that the hole in the Woodwork was stopped up, fell asleep peacefully.

DOMINIONS AND COLONIES.

ROYAL COLONIAL INSTITUTE AND 178 TITLE,

The annual general meeting of Fellows of the Royal Colonial Institute was held! on the 17th als at the Hôtel Métropole, Sir Godfrey Lagden presided, and there was a large attendance of Fellows, including Sir John McCal (Agent General for Tasmania), Sir Arthur Lawley, Sir Charles Lucas, Sir Eroest Birch, Sir John Cockburn, Sir Harry Wilson, Sir Charles Dudgeon, Dr. G. E. Parkin, Mr. C. B. Hamilton, Captain R. Muirhead Collins, Lieutenant-Colonel Tamplin, and Mr. J. R. Boost, secretary. The meeting unanimously voted to send a cablegram to Lord Grey expressing best wishes for his recovery and safe return.

Cross-examined He considered the Oriental was travelling about ten Knots.

The CHAIRMAN said that the past year: when pessing No. 4 Baoy. Their average had been most successful.. In all 2,350 from Woosing to Shanghai was ten and Fellows and associates had been elected, a half. He did not know that the signal and the income was £12,000, as compared they gave wes given in any regulations as with 11,200 last year. The total number that for passing another steamer.

Mr. Douglas, then asked if there was any in the Harbour Regulations.

His Lordship said the position of the Harbour Regulations had been considered by the Court before.

Mr. Douglas Do I require to prove treaties!

His Lordship No. Are they in the King's Regulations?

Mr. Dougins-I think so...

His Lordship-If they are not in the King's Regulations they are not binding on British subjects,

The report was adopted.

Mr. RICHARD JEBD, on behalf of the Council, moved :—“That the title of this society shall be changed if and when practicable to that of the Royal Britannic Institute." The idea was that the old name was out of cute, and it had been prejudicial to the expansion of the Institute in Canada. Young Canadiens did not nowadays think of themselves nor call themselves Colonials. He thought that was also true of Australia, and of New Zealand in a less degree,

Dr. VROOMAN, in seconding, said he was heartily sick and tired of the old Colonial idea as applied to the four self-governing Dominions of the Empire, because they were not Colonies, and they who were tirens of the Dominions were not Colonials. N
