London, May s7.-Cabling from
Sydney, N. S. W., the correspondent
there Of the Daily Mail gives an ac-
count of the terrible drought from
which,as a climax to seven dry years,
Australia is now suffering. The cor
respondent says that tho losses in
stock in Australia since 1899 amount
to e15,OOO,OOO. Unemployed mer are
drifting into the cities by the thou
sands, and there the state govern
ments are providing them with relief.
The only districts that have escaped
the drought are the northern rivers
district of New South Wales and parts
Of the Riyerna district.
The situation has been aggravated
by the federal duties on fodder,
which prevent its importation. Ow-
ing to the expense of fodder, the
firm which had the contract has
abandoned the hauling of the mail in
Queensland, the cost of the transpor-
tation having risen from e6,OoO to
6 10000 annually.
The sheep are dying by the million,
continues the correspondent, and
even the rabbits are starving. Ami
mails have stripped the bark from the
trees for food. A common method
of treating exhausted horses is to
slit the animals palate with knife;
the horse is revived by swallowing
his own blood. Numbers OF "Sun-
downers" and "Swagmen" have been
found dead by the waysides. The gov

QUESTIONED MR. YERKES.
The Battle Between American Mill ionaires for Control of LOn-

ENGLISH LAWYERS MEET THEIR MATCH,
After IngemuOusIy Answering and DOdging Questions Relative to His Financial PIaus Mir. Yerkes Told Them He Didn't Care to Teach Kindergarten Schools.

London, May 4.--Therc have been
 some interesting developments ill the battle between the American million aires for the control of London's rap i'd transit system. One feature that stands out more than any other is
 Charles T. Yerkes' ability to beat En- glish lawyers at their own game.
 Counsel for the Morgans projected
 "tube" line had Mir. Yerkes on the
 stand before the house of lords com-
 mittee for an hour or so one day this
 week. Mr. Yerkes sat, passive, ingenu-
 0usly answering or lodging questions
 relating to the financial plans of his own syndicate. Finally he calmly re- marked to counsel: II have been list
 ening to your explanations of this natter" at which counsel hurriedly corrected the witness by declaring he had only been asking questions. But MT. YerlIes, imperturable and hugely amusing the committee, con tinued: And it seems to me that you have certain information which 1 my self at this moment possess" With d SIDllC MI. cIhco tulHlJJCel blldb hS was largely interested in the finan- cial and operating departments of the new road, and without a trace of apparent malice. he added: 'I do not care to teach Kindergarten schools here"
 The Morgans had questioned the correctness of the figures upon which Mr. Yerlles based the returns of his system, but MT. Yerlles blandly waved aside such details, saying that he had not his notes. He would, however, be delighted to solve the sums in arithmetic submitted to him by opposing counsel if they would allow him to bring notes referring to such abstruse matters, from his off, fee. Finally the Chicagoan was dis somewhat disgusted!y, with the remark: "As you don't want to be sent back to school, I will not ask you any more questions" and Mr. Yerkes went out, smiling grimly..

Nurses Experience.

Medical men say that good nurse in difficult case is better than med icine, but when we can get a good nurse and good medicine, the patient stands much better chance of re- covery. The few words of advice given below by nurse Eliza King, are we'll worthy the attention of all readers:
 "I have constantly used St. Jacobs Oil in the various situations I have occupied as nurse, and have invariably found it excellent in all cases requiring outward application, such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections, neuralgia, etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an excellent remedy-well rubbed in. I can strongly recommend it after several years use and experience. It should be in every household"
 Sister CAROLINA, St. Andrews Hospital writes: "I have found St. Jacobs Oil most eficacious remedy in gout also in sprains and bruises. Indeed, we cannot say too much in it's praise and our doctor is ordering it constantly"
