maEBBEOT TIME-KEEPER YOU EVIB CARRIED from * «;CHt?APBIDE," FEIIiDIHG. AN INDIA-RUBBER &IAN. In an age of unemployment, remarks a London paper, it is surprising how easy it is to make a living, if one will only take a little risk. There is the case of the Indian gentleman who described himself as a "hereditary thief"; the person who earns a living by eating glass and swallowing iron has become quite commonplace; a young man supported himself recently by being hung by the neck; there is a performer who allows his chest to be used as an anvil. The latest in queer occupations is that of being run over by motor cars. In a London street the other day there was an incident which produced shrieks from the women who saw it, and wild waving of arms by the men. A large motor car, with six passengers, came down the Hammersmith road and came to a sudden stop. In an instant a rotund dark man dived in between the front and back wheels, and lay on his face. The chauffeur, apparently losing his head, started the engine, and the off-side back wheel went over the spine of the man on the ground. For a few seconds the man lay still, and then picked himself up, brushed the mud from his clothes and smiled genially on the crowd. It was merely M. Gadbin, the Frenchman, who made a practice of being run over at Olympia, going through a little performance for advertising purposes. The car weighed one ton one hundredweight, without passengers, and there was neither trick nor armour plate about the performance. M. Gadbin is a genuine india-rubber man. The arm-twisting methods by which schoolboys inflict torture, produce in him only a smile. He found out his extraordinary peculiarity when ho was singing at a Paris theatre. There was a troupe of Japanese wrestlers there, who were astounded to discover that the "holds" of jiu-jitsu, which are meant to inflict pain on an opponent who refuses to be conquered, had no effect on M. Gadbin. It was jokingly suggested that ho should allow a cab to run over him, which he did, and after startling people in the Bois de Boulogne, became a "star" variety artist. M. Gadbin's "turn" is perhaps, the easiest on the stage; all he has to do" is to lie down and let a motor car run over him. The paper quoted above suggests htat there is a good engagement waiting for the man who will adopt the profession of falling from groat heights on a bed of concrete or using his head as a sledge hammer. It is the commercial traveller who finds the many changes of climate and water trying. The experience of Mr Chas. G. Chapman, who represents a largo Brisbano concern, is not the exception. He had been troubled for years with chronic diarrhoea, and was especially bad when in North Queensland. On one of his trips a fellow traveller recommended hiin to try Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Bemedy, which he did, and what he has to say is most interesting : " I procured a bottle the first opportunity, and experienced great relief after taking a few doses, and was cured before the bottle was finished. I have not been troubled since, and wish to recommend this wonderful medicine to anyone suffer ing from the same complaint." For sale by T. A. Bredin, Martonj Ellis Bros., Hunterville, and W. B.
