Messrs. Hiscox & Co. call special
attention to the fact that after April
Is, 1888, the name and style of this
preparation will hereafter be simply
Pdrker's Tonic. The word Ginger
is dropped, for the reason that un.
principled dealers are constantly de.
ceiving their patrons by substituting
inferior preparations under the name
of Ginger 4; and as ginger is an un-
important havoring ingredient in
our Tonic, We are sure that our
friends will agree with us as to the
propriety of the change. There will
be no change, however, in the prep.
aration itself and all bottles re.

The development of the ape race has
not, it is confessed, kept pace with that
ot man, whichever had the start, or sup
posing they had common origin. But
according to the report of Isabella l..
Bird, the apes of Malacca are getting on
very well, considering the backwardness
of education in those parts. When this
adventurous traveller reached the British
residency at Kwala Kangsa, town in the
interior, Mr.. Low the resident was ab-
sent, and she found herself the only
white person in the region and in posses
sion of the house. But ss her arrival
had been expected, the Malay and Chinese
servants were very attentive to her COM
fort. She was received by magnificent
oriental butler, had n delicious bath, and
was served with dinner, in which the lin
en-, china, crystals, flowers and cooking
were alike exquisite. Her valise had not
arrived, and having made the journey
partly on an elephant and partly on foot
through the Jungle, she was not in pre-
sentable dress for dinner, and noticing
that the table was set for three, she wait
ed on the veranda, fearing that couple
of government clerks might appear in
evening dress. But the butler emphati-
t"tiy tDC ilCul was
'served" and she sat down to the well ap-
pointed table, when the butler led in
large ape, and the Malay servant brought
in small one, both Of which were seated
at the table, and Sikh brought in large
retriever and tied him to her chair. These
were Mr.. Lows pets and daily compan-
ions. This was all done with perfect
solemnity and the dinner proceeded with
stateliness The apes had their curry,
chulney, pineapple, eggs, and bananas
on porcelain plates, and SO had the guest.
The chief difference was that while she
waited to be helped, the big ape was i'm
polite enough (as if he had been at pic
nic) occasionally to snatch something
from dish as the butler passed round
the table, and the small one before long
migrated from his chair to the table, and,
sitting by the lady's plate delicately help
ed himself from it. She declares that it
was grotesque but most enjoyable din

The Future of Paper,

Some one has already constructed
light and pretty paper railway carriage.
Paper wheels are very common, and an
inventor is confident that he can make
paper rails a success. Paper ties are
liked facts, and much superior to those
Of wood. Paper houses have long since
lost their novelty, and almost every
imaginable small article of common
service has been formed out of paper.
IL short, where will the uses of paper
ond? Men, and they are not enthusi-
asts, predict that the day is not far
distant when, from the solid and hard
ened pulp, everything will be manu-
factured that is now made from wood
and iron. Thus we see, at least In the
case of the former, how nature always
preserves the balance of compensation.
Our forests are fast going-at the pres
ent rate of destruction some even of
those now living may see the end of
them. But already, for most of the
purposes to which we turn them to &C
count, paper supplies the place. In
many cases also the paper is really
better than the wood. It is always less
expensive and, in most instances, will
last much longer. 1t can, moreover,
be made fre-proof, so that when we
shall come to build our houses of it
they will be practically indestructible
at much less cost than at present, and
OF course down will go insurance rates.
And yet it is a comparatively-little
willie since this fabric began to be used
toE other than writing and wrapping
purposes. AS to paper itself, it may
%, said to be absolutely inexhaustible,
io- there is hardly any material, from
aood, rags, husks, peat or turf, leather

IL cannot be made. The poets have
