PERns OF BASE BALL PLAYING.-The actu- ary of life insurance company has prepared table of statistics full of matter, deep and dangerous, regarding the mortality and casu- alities resulting from too assiduous attention to mastering the national game. His figures show that during the ball season in this coun- try the monthly death rate from ball playing is GOA; the number of cases of concussion of the brain is 4 7; incipient heart disease, 5.103; dislocation of the hip, 0.01; fracture of the sholder blade, 1.01; compound fracture of the sternum, 6.0002; broken ribs, 25.012; disloca- tion of the spinal column resulting in perma- nent disability, 0.OOOO1; fracture of the arm,

The climate of Cyprus is anything but edurabic or salubrious. That scourge of Med iterTaneon ports, miasmatic fever, prevails to an alarming extent, and crops snffer severely from devastating rains and excessive drought. A large portion of the island consists of bar ren unproftahle land, requiring irrigation or at most constant and gentle rainfall to render it susceptible of cultivation. One of the first cares of the British government should be to introduce and plant upon large scale the most excellent rain-producer and health bring CT, the eucalyptus globulus, or common gum tree.-[ London Week '.

 This Sarsaparilla is a combination of vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man. drake, Yellow Dock = with the Iodides of Potassium and Iron, and is the most efticacious medicine yet known for the diseases it is intended to cure.
 Its ingredients are so skilfully com- bined, that the full alternative effect of OcSIA 10 oocu4CO1 SbAO WAlAAC Ab 10 SO LL1IU as to be harmless even to children, it is still so effectual as to purge out from the system those impurities and corruptions which develop into loathsome disease. The reputation it enjoys is derived from it's cures, and the confidence which prominent physicians all over the coun- try repose in it, prove their experience of its usefulness.
 Certificates attesting its virtues have accumulated, and are constantly being received, and as many of these cases are publicly known, they furnish convincing evidence uf the superiority of this Sar- saparilla over every other alternative medicine. So generally is it's superi- ority to any other medicine known, that we need do no more than to assure the public that the best qualities it has ever possessed are strictly maintained.
