bern worth millions if the royal confidence-man had not repudiated every one of them the moment he set foot in his own dominions. During his last visit, it is now said, the Sbah found the Baron's duns rather troublesome, and to quiet him gave him a lot of choice concessions. It looks now as if the Shah had repudiated this agreement as he did the first, and that the Baron Is again the victim of the Shah's sharp practices. Gladstone made an address at Chester to-day on the condition of the working classes, and in concluding he urged English workmen to study the history of the American revolution. He claimed that it was by and from this country that the love of freedom was sown in America. England now in return reaped advantages from the American vindication of those principles of ⚫ freedom which animated the Revolution. The system of government in America combined that of love of freedom, respect for law and de- slic for order, which formed the surest elements of national excellence and greatness. It was not extravagance to say that although there were only two millions of people in the thirteen State's at the time of the Revolution, "the group of statesmen that proceeded from them were a match for any in the whole world, and were superior to those of any one epoch.

Moch comment is made on Sir Henry Paskes circular inviting the Australian Colonies to discuss a scheme of federation.
The Daily News commends the proposal, and approves of the scheme, rejoicing that emanates from Australia instead of England.
The St. James' Gazette considers the move- meat healthy, and observes that England will watch it with interest and sympathy, adding that the success of the scheme would benefit the

HOW PILLS ARE MADE.
THE Custom of taking medicine in the form of pills dates far back in history. The object is to enable us to swallow easily in a condensed form disagreeable and nauseous, but very use fut drugs. To what vast dimensions pill. taking has grown may be imagined when we say that in England alone about 2,000,000,000 (two thousand million) pills are consumed every year. In early days pills were made slowly by hand, as the demand was comparatively small. To-day they are produced with, infini tely greater rapidity by machines especially contrived for the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various ingredients employed.
No form of medication can be better than a
pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. But right here occurs the difficulty. Easy us it may seem to make a pill, or a million of them, there are really very few pills that can be honestly commended for popular use. Most of them either undershoot or overshoot the mark. As everybody takes pills of some kind, it may be well to mention what a good, safa, and reliable pill thould be. Now, when one feels dull and sleepy, and has more or less pain in the head, sides, and back, he may be sure his bowels are constipated, and his livar sluggish. To remedy this unhappy state of things there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will act
