The Colonial Prelniers.

The Colonial Premiers who came over
for the Jubilee are on the whole a rough,
hard hearted lot-men of tried ability
but little polish. They are in fact the
sort of men who have built up our Co.
lonial Empire, a work which has not
been done by hands in kid gloves. The
New Zealand and Australian Premiers
especially were typical Colonials. The
Premier of Tasmania, Sir E. G. Brad
don, who served as a volunteer ia the
Indian mutiny, and was in the Indian
civil service until 1878, is probably the
most refined and educated man among
them, and the Hon. Sir w. V. Whiteway,
the Premier of Newfoundland, would
come next. One of the Premiers, by the
way, protested in conversation the 9TH
er day against the use of the word pre-
mier," and particularly against the
Prince of Wales French pronunciation
of it. "Premi- he said, lis bad
enough, but 'Premi-ay' is worse. Why
not call us Prime Ministers ?''-Saturday

iIestones on the Road to Health.

The recovery of digestion and the re-
sumption of activity by the liver, bow
els and kidneys, are milestones which
mark our progress on the road to health.
They speedily become perceptible when
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is used by
the invalid. Nothing so surely and ex-
peditiously consumes the distance to the
desired goal. As no bodily function can
suffer interruption without impairing the
general health of the system, SO the
system can never acquire perfect vigor,
actively resumed. Take, for instance, di-
gestiOn, a suspension of which is inva-
riably rectified by the Bitters. If the or
gans upon which it devolves grow weak
biliousness, constipation, headache, pow
erty of the blood, and a hundred other
symptoms supervene. which indicate UNI
mistakably the baneful general influence
these symptoms, through the use of the
Bitters, show with what thoroughness it
removes their cause.

HOW DRAGOMEN RISE IN THE
LEVANT

Columns of the most extraordinary
stories could be written about these
Levantine Consuls of England and of
other Christian powers, the Consul
General of another European power at
Alexandria for instance, being a Syr-
ian Hebrew usurer, who. having real
ICED a fortune by loaning money at
large interest to the unfortunate peas
antry, has now purchased a title of
count for himself at Rome. They do
not even come from the better class
of merchants of the Levant, but are
recruited chiefly from those ill-defned
individuals, half mental, half interpre-
ter, who go by the name of dragomen,
who acts as a sort of general facto-
tum, carries messages. manages the
servants, makes the purchases, and. in
fact, takes all the trouble off ones
hands. Yet, of course, no one would
ever dream of having one of these
dra gomen sit down to table with him
English diplomats and native born
British Consuls have their dragomen
like the rest, and generally very clever
ones. Indeed the dragomen render
themselves so Indispensable that their
employers generally end by rewarding
them with q elerkship in the Consulate
In course of time this clerkship devel-
ops into an acting ViceC onsuIship
then into a permanent one, and finally
