vice is limited to six years.
111. Subject to the above limit, one year's furlough shall
be paced to the credit of each officer for every four years
of actual service.

IV. No furlough shall be taken before the completion
of eight years' actual service, except under Rule VIII.
V. Furlough shall not be repeated until three years from
the date of the last return from long extraordinary leave,
or long furlough. except under Rule VIII. Leave taken
under Chapters 11. and 111., but no other leave, shall be
reckoned as part of the said three years.
VI. The maximum term of furlough to be taken at any
one time shall be two years.
VII. Except as hereinafter provided, an officer when on
furlough shall retain a lien on his substantive appoint-
ment, or on an appointment of similar character and not
less salary, and he shall be granted allowances at the rate
of 50 per cent. of his average salary for the previous three
years, or for the period which has elapsed since his last
return from long furlough, or long extraordinary leave, if
that period be less than three years.
In calculating such average, the time spent and the
allowances drawn under any leave, excepting privilege
leave under Chapter 11., shall be omitted.
Provided that no officer on furlough shall draw more
than £1,200 or less than £3OO per annum.
VIII. Under Medical Certificate—
(a.) Furlough may be taken on the above-mentioned
conditions, without reference to the amount at credit under
Rule 111.
(b.) Furlough for a period not exceeding one year may
be taken, even if less than three years have elapsed since
the last return from long extraordinary leave or long fur-
lough. When on furlough under this clause an officer
will not retain a lien on his appointment, and will be en-
titled only to subsistence allowance, unless he has com-
pleted six months actual service since his last return from
long extraordinary leave or long furlough, and there re-
main some leave to his credit under Rule 111., in which
case the officer will retain a lien on his appointment, and
will draw allowances as calculated under Rule VII., until

allowance.
IX. Furlough taken or extended under Rule VIII. is
subject to the provision of Rule 11.
X. Furlough taken in India will be reckoned from the
date of the officer quitting his station to the data of his
return thereto. Furlough taken out of India will be
reckoned from the date of embarkation to the date of
return.
In the event of the furlough being taken partly in India,
and partly out of India, the commencement and termina-
tion of the furlough will be determined by the above Rules,
according as the furlough begins or ends in or out of
India.
XL For the interval elapsing between departure from
his station and the commencement of furlough, and be-
tween the termination of furlough and the re-arrival at his
station, an officer shall be allowed subsidiary leave not
ordinarily exceeding in each case thirty days. During
those periods his allowances: will be calculated-in the same
way as his furlough allowances, but without limitation as
to maximum and minimum. Provided that, if the officer
has, under these Rules, lost his lien on his appointmert, he
shall draw subsistence allowance of his rank. Subsidiary
leave shall count as service and residence.

mitted to the Government to which the applicant is sub-
ordinate, and will be dealt with in such manner as the
Governor-General of India in Council may from time to
time prescribe.

regards the number of furloughs available at any one timo,
and as regards individual applications, of a hich exigencies
the Government of India, Madras, or Romba,-, as the case
may be. shall be exclusively the judge, furloughs will be
granted under these Rules.
XIV. All applications for furlough under medical corti-
fica'e, in accr.rdance with these Rules, will be granted
without restriction.

be necessary to place any limit on the number of officers
who may be absent on furlough at the same time, applica-
tions not supported by medical certificate will be granted
in the following order :
The applicant to whose credit the greatest amount of
furlough remains under Rule 111. shall have the preference.
If two or more applicants are on an equality in this
respect, the preference shall be given to the applicant,
whose actual service in India is longest, reckoning, in the
case of an officer wile has not taken long extraordinary
leave or long furlough, from the date of arrival in India,
and in the case of an officer who has taken long extraor-
dinary leave or long furlough, from the date of his last
return from such leave or furlough.
If two or more applicants are equal in both respects,
the preference shall be given to the senior in the Grada-
tion List.
XVI. The term of residence qualifying for pension shall
be 21 years, but no leave, except privilege leave and sub-
sidiary leave, shall count as residence.
XVII. The term of service qualifying for pension shall
be 25 years.
CHAPTER 11.
PRIVILEGE LEAVE.

who has completed eleven months' continuous duty may
take privilege leave for one month without deduction from
his salary, retaining a lien on his appointment, whether
substantive or officiating. Provided that, in the case of
his holding an officiating appointment, such lien and his
acting allowance will cease on the resumption of charge by
the officer to whom the substantive appointment belongs.

tions, two or three months' privilege leave may be taken
when an officer has completed continuous duty of twenty-
two or twenty-three months respectively.
XX. Privilege leave may, at the discretion of the local
Government, be taken in separate instalments. No second
instalment shall be taken until after the completion of six
months' continuous duty from the expiry of the first in-
stalment. In this case the eleven months qualifying for
fresh privilege leave will be reckoned from the expiry of
the first instalment, the period of the second instalment
being omitted from the calculation.

one time shall not exceed three months, and that no
accumulation of privilege leave beyond that period shall
be admitted.

shall forfeit all salary during the time of his remaining so

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely now de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth i hat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.
