A young lady says:
Coffee began to have such an effect
on my stomach few years ago, that l
was compelled to quit using it. II
brought on headaches, pains in my
muscles, and nervousness.
Il tried to use tea in its stead. but
found its effects even worse than those
suffered from coffee. Then for a
long time l drank milk alone at my
meals. but it never helped me physic

friend came to the rescue with the sug.

Germany's Problem.

Gunton's Magazine: Tho marvellous
progress of Germany during the last
quarter century rests mainly upon the
development which has made her a
leading factor in the struggle for the
markets of the world. During this
brief period full MANY a German town
has been transformed from hamlet
of mere handful of people to thriv-
ing center OF industry. The productive
power OF the empire has more than
doubled. During this period also her
artisans have been fed from the gram
aries of the United States. 1t is no
reflection upon the German people to
say that this supply Ct cheap food has
been and still is a factor of paramount
Importance in her industrial Develop
ment. German soil, which is not espe-
cially fertile. is unable to furnish food
for the rapidly increasing population
Of Germany. When two decades ago
Bismarck advocated a high tariff upon
foodstuffs, Germanys home supply OF
food was more nearly equal to the de-
ra,and than 1t is today or will be to-
morrow. The fact is that the expan-
sion OF German industries has been
accompanied by growth In her pop
ulatlon that has outrun the increase In
the productive power of her soil.

The sun was we'll above the tree-tops.
and the morning was abroad for all the
furred and feathered wood folk, when l
forsook the Indian path to make pru-

Happily, there was no need for the
cautionary measure. The hunting lodge

When all was done / flung myself
upon the couch of panther skins, hoping
against hope that sleep might come to

never wink of forgetfulness for me
in all the long watches of the summer
day, and must lie wide-eyed and bag
gard. thinking night would never come,
and making sure that fate had never

at Oxford, his hiographer notes, he showed a
bent toward political discussion. not only in re-
gard to points of past history. but also to ques-
tons of practical administration; he had an
aptitude for affairs and a good speaker.
At twenty-three he entered Parliament a
supporter of the administration of Lord John
Russell, having previously accepted the post of
lord-n-waiting to the Queen. 1t eliminates
the personality of the engaging young Irishman
to learn that her majesty hesitated over the ap-
pointment, on the ground that Lord Dufferin is
much too good looking and captivating" He
promptly became favOrite in the social life of
London; and what the leaders of his party
thought of his promising abilities is to be seen
in the early bestowal upon him of the English
Ieerage which gave him seat in the House of
Lords ViscOunt Clandeboye. His maiden
speech found him very nervous. and the 81

saying she had heard 1T very good Dur
ing much of his early service in Parliament his
mind largely occupied with the question of
Irish land tenures in general, and in 1854 he
proposed a measure which was almost identical
in its conditions with those of Mr.. Gladstone's

Irish Land bill. passed nearly twenty years after.
He took the keenest interest III Irish affairs, and
spent a large share of his fortune in improving
matters for the tenants on his estate+from
which, as he has said, he reaped mo other ad-
vantage than the ameliorated condition of the
farmers themselves"
The Governor Generalship of Canada was
Dufferin's first highly important office. He &C
copied it in 1872, and entered upon a colonial
policy and a course of personal popularity which
did much to quiet warning factions and to bind
more closely the mother country and the colony.
The opinion had been growing among English
politicians that colonies were more trouble than
they were worth. 1T is perfectly true" wrote
Dufferin to Lord Granville, that after had
been appointed to Canada. Bob Lowe came I'D
to me in club and said: Now, you ought to
make it your business to get rid of the Domin-
ion. to which replied that I certainly did not
intend to be handed down to history as the
Governor General who had lost Canada" He
consistently laid stress upon the wisdom of
maintaining in a high degree the DOminion's
free will and encouraging the rise in her of a
national feeling which would prevent annexa-
ton to the United States In 4 letter to Lord
Ca-narvon he said:
Quite apart from all considerations OF our own adj
vantage, it will be for the future welfare of this
continent that it should not be dominated by a
the same mould and cut to a uniform pattern
Already the social political and intellectual
monotony which pervadeS America is very on
presslye and we shudder to think of this gigantic
area becoming possessed by enormous D0DuIa-
ton of units. as undistingushabe from one an

During visit to the United States in 1874 the
Governor General complained of the monotony
which Is the incubus of this continent; 'it espe
cially haunts the social life of New-YorE." he
declared. There was less monotony, apparently
in Chicago. where kindly citizens, chanting the

the qualities of charm; man of unequalled tact
and versatility, and who combined with these
gifts rare sagacity Of Judgment and singu-

marriage did not please the elder Dufferins for
they were practical folk who thought their
heir should have looked for money-and Helen
like all the Sheridans, was poor. Price Black
woods half sister, Mrs. Ward, has said of
these country magnates: "They could not m
derstand and cared nothing for all the genius
and talent of all the Sheridans; they preferred
the stale platitudes of the common herd around
them, and very funny it was to see how they
connected stupidity and goodness as qualities

DUFFERIN AND AVA.
Il Biography of Sheridan's Great

AND AVA By Sir Alfred Lyall. z. c. With
Portraits and illustrations. Two volumes, Svo,
PIP. S2S, SS9 Imported by Charles Scribner's Sons.
This biography of the brilliant Irishman who
was successfully Governor General OF Canada,
Ambassador in st. Petersburg and CONSTANT
nople, VicerOy of India and Ambassador in
Rome and Paris, IS a serious and careful work
If it does not provide many good Stories
show as much of the witty side of Dufferin, as
the reader could wish. it is. perhaps, partly
attributable to a desire of his widow that the po-
litical aspects of his career should be strongly
emphasized. But. anecdotes apart. must
acknowledge Indebtedness to Sir Alfred Lyan
for an excellent portrait of a high minded
diplomat well many lucid applications of
the public affairs with which he dealt during
his terms of office.
The late w. E. II. Lecky has said of Lord Duff
ferin that he was man who possessed, to a
