AS was stated in our last report, the Grand
Trunk Railway Company, lessees of the Allan
tic and st. Lawrence Railroad, paid into the
fund in January, 1881, the sum of $423, SOP .0S
This sum, added to the amount then in hand
made up the sum of $751;, 00O the amount OF
the Atlantic and st. Lawrence Railroad Com
pany's obligations, Ethe several securities in
the fund being valued at par. At the request
of the Grand Trunk Railway COMPANY. we
then rendered the fund to the city authorities,
who declined to receive it, on the ground that
such payment was not in accordance with the
act creating the fund and the agreement with
the city.
The Supreme Judicial Court has now sus-
tanned the city in its position and we have,
therefore, with the formal consent both of the
city and OF the Atlantic and st. Lawrence
Company, refunded to the Grand Trunk Com
pauy the sum of 1894 534M and small
amount of interest. This leaves the total of
the fund, at the present time, $490, 028.28, as
given above.
It was deemed equitable by all parties that
the Grand Trunk Company should thus be
placed in the same position that it would have
been held had the regular semi-annual pay
ments oil $4,000, required by the act, been
made in due course. The fund may now be
considered to be in amount what it would
have been bad such regular payments been
made, without variation or interruption, to
date.
There is no outstanding interest due the
fund at the present time.

Ditto Nursing Bottles.

ANY infant ten days old will not take any other
food unless the Liquid Food is added; and this
rapid growth in flesh and strength is proof of all
claimed.
Their only food being Murdock's Liquid Food
(see label on each bottle, they require no medi-
cine, as they nourished; and being nourished
enables them to throw of the wastes which are
making daily, as well as develop new life, as their
increased weight weekly proves.
Our infants are nine-tenths foundlings or orphans
and physically as diseased or weak as the worst
that are in any institution.
A founding eight weeks old was removed from
quarantine too soon, and broke out with measles
after he had been in the ward one week. The other
infants, being well nourished. did not take them,
as they did not want them. The child is as bright
any of them, and our treatment was only re-
ducing the strength Of his food.
DR.. r. Tanszky read a paper before the New
York Academy of Medicine April 26, 1888 which
was endorsed by Drs w. nj. Chamberlain JeWett
Burrell, Brown and others.
The subject was one of vital Importance to us ALL
"why is it that almost every woman, soon as
she becomes mother: begins to suffer frsm some
form of pelvic disease?''
In support of the words. ''almost every woman. !"
he referred to very large percentage of guyneco-
logical cases, in which the marked condition pre-
sent could be traced directly to child birth, and
then asked the significant question, "By what
means can the occurrence at these conditions be
prevented?'
All will admit that our answer is correct
The women cannot obtain sufficient uourishment
from common food during pregnancy to supply the
wastes Confirmed by the per cent. of women that
cannot retain their food also are unable to nurse
pooicsf ehO POoa AOeS Ol
teeth, etc., is increasing annually
What will give relief.
Any lady that has any trouble in retaining
her food will have trouble if she will take Muir
docks Liquid Food, as it prepares the stomach so
that it digest other food. Any lady that wishes
to nourish her babe can do so if she will take a
teaspoonful of Liquid Food four times daily for six
months. 1t will also build up her system, so as to
protect her from the diseases that Dr. Tanszkys lee
ture describes they all come from not being able
to supply the waste made on the system.

The approac ing celebration of the
400th anniversary of Martin Luther's
birth has broughtto light in the German
papers the interesting fact that the great
reformer's line is not extinct. as has
generally been supposed, and it is not
likely to be for generations to come.
Luther left three sons, and 1t has often
been said that their male line was ex-
tinguished early in the last century. But
1t now appears that three are at Cloister
Allendorf on the Vera in Meiningen.
two brothers, Heinrich and Carl Luther
who can prove descent from the great
reformer BY a genealogical tree, which
has been deposited for safety with a
Leipsic insurance company. Heinrich,
the elder, Is a -journevmau carpenter
and has six boys, while Carl is studying
theology at Jena. Moreover there even
exists a Luther stipend. from which
each child thrice in his life receives 50
tahleTs-his first communion, during
apprenticeship and his wedding day.
Carl is being educated from this same
fund. The lives Of these simple people
would naturally be expected to be I'M
eyentful and even prOsaiC; but the fami-
" in those later times has not been
without as true a romance as the court
ship OF Martin Luther himself, who in
middle life astounded his friends by
marrying a nun "to please his father, to
tease the pope and to e the devil"
mhe mother Of Heinrich and . ari Luth-
err is said to have been the daughter Of a
high official at Berlin. The father was
working at his trade as a mason in the
capital, when the girl fell madly in love
with him, as much apparently
enthusiastic admiration of all that re-
lated to Martin Luther as
through appreciation of the good
looking young journeyman himself.
But the marriage ended less happily
than that of the great reformer whose
home life was always joyful, and who
loved his "Katy" far "above the king
dom Of France or the state Of VeniceS
The mason's wife was disinherited by
her family and is said to have died in
want and misery.
