Though steam has taken the place of sailing vessels, yet Clark Kus sell mentions that two or three years ago In saw close on 450 s»il of ships outward bound anchored off the Downs, and as a nvitfcer of curiosity he quotes from a volume of maritime records to show that on the 6.h January, 1771 there were pre. sent in the Downs 450 sail of ships. Of oonis* of very much smaller tonnage. We have no records to refer to so far back as 1771, but the growth in tonnage bince 1830 is very wonderful. In that ytar there wera 2,201,592 tons of vessels registered at Lloyd's, 2,171,253 tons being sailing vessels and only 30,889 tons of steam ye sels. In 1890 the <iross tonnage had riseu to 11,150,506, and steam vessels claimed 8,095,370 and sailing vessels only 3,055,186 " But to be windbound," soys Clark Russell, " The travellers scarcely knows the meaning of the word in this age. To lie off Deal for a space of time longer than a New Zealand steamer occupies i:> measuring the distance betwixt Tilbury and Wellington ! Why, in these days you may be stranded thrice, thrice transhipped, and yet reach your destinain the time a ship took in the age of the fine old English gentleman to drop down to Gravesend and let go her anchor in the Downs.

PROFESSOR LIEBEG says :— " We shall never know how men were first directed to the use of Coffee, but we may consider the article so remar&able for its action on the brain and the substance of the organs of motion as an element of food for organs yet unknown, which are destined to convert the blood into nervous Bubstances and thus recruit the energy of the moving and thinking faculties." It you wish to benefit yourself you could not do better than drink Crease's A.I. Coffkb. Sold everywhere in 1 and 21b tins. For if is the best. PERSONS OF DELICATE CONSTITUTION, who are obliged to abstain from ordinary Coffee, should try Crease's Taraxacum or Dandelion Coffee, which is recommended by the highest Medical Authorities as a very valuable beverage for those suffering from weak digestion, flatulency, nervousness, etc. Not to know is not to have.
