Peruvian syrup VS.. ALCOHOLIC Tonics.

1t has been desideratum with the medical pro-
fession to procure preparation of iron less OBJ
jectionable than any of those now in use, which
often produce unfavorable effects upon the system,
especially when prepared with alcoholic fluids.
In many cases of debility and conyalescence from
disease where a tonic is indicated, wine, brardy,
porter, &c, have been recommended; but these are
Of very doubtful efficacy, tc say the least Alcohol

rangement of the circulation, irritating the whole

approaching to purity almost all the wines,

Such being the case with regard to the sprituous
preparations of iron, and the alcoholic drinks, OF
which any one satisfy himself by investigating
the subject, an opportunity is presented in the
PERUVIAN SYRUP, for the trial of an article in

Dyspepsia.


Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all human all
ments. Its symptoms are almost infinite in their
variety, and the fororn and despondent victims OF
the disease often fancy themselves the prey in turn
of every known malady. This is DUE in part to the
close sympathy which exists between the stomach
and the BRAIN and In part also to the fact that any
disturbance of the digestive function necessarily
disorders the liver, the bowels and the nervous sys
tenn, and effects to some EXTENT the quality OF the
blood.

NEW YORK.
The Lawrence Case.


NEW YORK, March 2S.-In the case of
Charles L.. Lawrence, this morning, Judge
Benedict rendered decision, in which, after
reviewing the pleading, he says that the ques-
tion of the position taken that all extradltion
proceedings by their nature secure the person
surrendered Immediately from prosecution for
any offence other than that upon which his sur
render was made, is not open in this court. Al
ter referring to cases in support OF this decision
he says: "This ground of defence is therefore
dismissed, with the remark that an offender
against the Justice of his country can acquire
no rights by defrauding that justice. Between
him and the justice he has offended no rights
accrue to the offender by flight. He remains
at all times and everywhere liable to be called
to answer to the law for his violation thereof,
provided he comes within reach of its arms" "
On the claim of immunity under the treaty OF
1912, set up for the prisoner, the Judge says
that the treaty does not sustain it. The Brit
sh extradition act Of 1870, he continues, could
have no effect here, and it appears to be the
opinion of English judges that it has none there
to limit the treaty of 1912. In regard to
the plea based upon the order of the President
and the direction of the Attorney General, the
Judge says that no such order or directions can
have any legal effect on the jurisdiction of the
court. The correspondence between the Presi-
dent and the Attorney General and the Dis.
trict Attorney is dismissed as irrelevant, and
in regard to the plea of express agreement in
this case between the two governments that
the prisoner should only be tried for the Of
fence for which he was extradited Judge
Benedict quotes approvingly the opinion of
Lord Chief Justice renterden that court can
not inquire into the circumstances under which
says it must be the law here until overruled.
The plea to jurisdiction and all other pleadings
are therefore set aside with leave to the defen-
dant to plead anew the charges.

THE QUEENS CRowN.-One gem at least in
the crown which was borne before her mai
esty on Tuesday is of great antiquity and of
high historic interest. The large sapphire, the
partial drilling of which suggests that it may
have formerly figured in the turban of some
eastern sultan, was purchased, it is true, by
George Nv; but in the front of the diadem,
and in the centre of a maltese cross of dia-
mends is the famous ruby given to Edward,
the Black Prince, by Pedro, King of CASTLE,
after the battle Of Najeva, 4. D., 1867. This
ruby was worn by Henry V. in his helmet at
Agincourt. The gem is pieced right through.
Otherwise, albeit each particular diamond,
ruby, emerald aud pearl in the dazzling gal
axy may have its pedigree and legend, no au-
thentic record of the crown Jewels has been
preserved, and Queen Victoria's crown struct-
uraliy speaking is very modern affair in
deed. The famous tory crown of Sit Robert
Vyner, which the crazy woman mutilated
in 1915, had served at the coronation of
William w; but as it weighed more than
seven pounds Of troy, it was decided that the
ponderous gewgaw should be broken up and
that new and permanent crown imperial
should be fashioned. The new crown is con-
structed out of the fragments of half dozen
bygone insignia of regality which were broken
up In 1888, and which included the diadem
worn by Mary of Modena, by Queen Caroline
and Queen Charlotte as queens consort, and
assumed by Mary III and Annie as queens re-
gent Thus the British crown may as COM
paratively new thing, made up of very ancient
materials be held to present a sufficiently
striking likeness to the British constitution
which has itself been broken into very small
pieces, which had been patched and mended,
enlarged and renovated over and over again

THE DOMINION.
Imperial Legislation Affecting Canadian
Interests.


OTTAWA March 2S In the House last night
Mr.. Palmer, in moving the House into COM
mittee to consider the resolutions on the SUBJ
ject of imperial legislation affecting Canadian
ships and the rights and liabilities of owners,
commended that the recent imperial legislation
had seriously impaired Canadian shipping and
tended to prevent the investment of capital in
shipping. The Dominion stood in the fore
most position as regards its shipping interest,
and therefore efforts should be made to encour-
ageit. In the merchants shipping act the inn
imperial government had given the right of
iegislstipg in regard to SHIPPING to the Colonies
and moreover that power was expressly given
US by the British North American act
Mr. Mackenzie said the imperials government
had the shipping bill under consideration at
the present time and the Dominion government
was IN active correspondence with it on the
subject and therefore it was undesirable to pass
any strong resolution on the subject. He hop
ed the present motion would be withdrawn and
the honorable gentleman would be considered.
Mr.. Palmer withdrew his motion.
