Let the patient drink from one to
three pints of water one hour before
each meal and then comfortably seat
himself i'll an easy rocking chair and
rock backward and forward for half
an hour. The rocking will agitate the
water in the stomach, wash the walls
completely, detaching any mucus that
may be adhering and dilute and mix
the contents thoroughly. BY this means
absorption will be more rapid. and as
a consequence the skin, kidneys and
bowels will act more freely. eliminat-

BILLIARDS FOR WOMEN.
According to Shakespeare, Cleopatra
Played the Game.

In France a gentleman is not ashamed
to take his wife to see a professional
billiard game. Frenchwomen are good
billiard players and like to see all the
fancy shots made by professionals as
soon as they begin 10 attract attention
They read the billiard news in the
daily papers and subscribe to journals
published especially for billiardists.
According to Shakespeare, women have
played billiaxds from the time of Cleo
patra. In 80 b. c. he makes the Egyp-
tan queen summon CHAIRMAN to bill
lizards. Mary, queen of Scots, was pas
sionately fond of the game. On the
evening preceding her execution she
wrote to the archbishop of Glasgow
that her billiard table had been taken
away from her rs a preliminary step
to her punishment The Empress Jo-
sephine used to rouse Napoleon from
his gloomy moods by game of bill
lizards. Adelna Patti became disgust
ed with her English table and had one
made in New York for which she paid
$4,000
The efficacy of billiards as health
restorer is beyond dispute. The mo-
tons gone through will reach every
part of the body and operate on the en-
tire system. They completely dispel
languor and that tired feeling" The
tension of the muscles is tested and the
blood sent in swifter circulation through
the veins

ance OF growth and wealth of produc-
tiyeness that demonstrates its entire

in these regions.
Recent statistics place the worlds
demand for cocoa exclusive of local
consumption) at 2OO,OOO,0OO pounds,
valued at more than $4,000 900 gold
There is, therefore, but little danger of
oVerproduction and consequent low
prices for many years to come. So far

small. Cocoa is cultivated nearly
everywhere in the archipelago. 1t is

prospects of an Irish land settlement.
John Redmond, speaking at Liver

purchase bill offered a great hope of a
settlement. The policy of coercion, he
added, had changed to a policy of con-
Citation, but in view of past disap-
polntments the Irish party was not too
sanguine. If it was worth while to
spend millions of pounds on the ac-
QUESTION of two Dutch republics it was
much more important to spend a few
hundred thousand pounds in conciliat-
