Talking at dinner the other night about telegraphic errorh I heard two capital stories (writes Mr Lucy in the Sydney Morning Herald). As they were told -in succession by beneficed clergy they must be true. One , reverend gentleman was arranging to have his pulpit taken on a certain Sunday by a gentleman named Noyes. Being away from home he had a telegram sent to him. It was delivered in the following form: —“No Yes Accept with pleasure.” The story suggested to the other clergyman, sometime resident in Devonshire, his experience. Writing to make a similar request to a neighboring clergyman he received the following telegraphic reply ;*_« Mr has gone to hell and won’t be back till Monday.” The destination of the reverend gentleman was nothing more than Holland —a neighbouring village.

SANDER and SONS EUOALPYTI EX TRACT.

According to reports of a great number of physicians of the hightest professional standing, there are oSered Euoalpyti Ex tracts which possess no curative qualities. In protection of the world wide fame _ of Sanders and Sons preparation we publish a few abstracts from these reports, which bear fully out that no reliance can bo placed in other products Dr. W. B.

Drake, Portland, Oregon, says—" Since I became acquainted with this preparation (Sander and Sons) I use no other form of eucalyptus as I think it is by fay the best." Dr L. P.
