Mr. Bruce ker, who was barn in Austria, has been an American citizen since 1876. For many years he made a spec. inlty of meteorology and is a cop- fous writer on that subject. His sticlies naturally led him to inves. tigate atmospheric conditions, on which he is an expert. In the course of a conversation | have just had with Mr. Brucker, he expressed himself most optimistically in regard to his interesting project, "I do not hesitate to affirm," said he, ~ "that the 'erossing 'of the At lantic by airship is not only guite Aeanible; but a comparatively simple matter, givin ono or two Bon le circumstances, The dirigible balloon in which our attempt is to be made is elliptical in form, with a tetal length of fifty metres sud a maxi mug diameter of fifteen metres.

Oa the report of his character a nobleman of the first quality wanted ona day to see him when he was drawing a figure after the life. Holbpin in answer begged his lordship t, de- fer the honor of his visit to another day, which the nobleman took for an afiront. He broke open the door and very rudely went upstairs. Holbein, wearing the noise, left kis chamber and, meeting Lhe lord at his door, fell mto a violent passion and pushed him backward from the top of the stairs to the kottom. - Considering, however, immediately what he had done, he escaped from the tumult he had raised and made the best of his way to the king. The nobleman, much hurt, though not so much as he pretemded, was there soon after him, and upon opening. his greiv ance the king ordered Holbein to ask pardon for his offense. But this only uritatéd the nobleman the more, who would not be satished with less than hia life, "upon which the king sternly replied : KING. with Holbein, but with me. Whatever punishment you may contrive by way of revenge against him shall assuredly be inflicted upon yourself.

MRS. LIZZIE BAXTER. It may be stated, without hesitation, that "Fruit-a-tives® is the only remedy that will actually cure Rheumatism, Sciatica and Lumbago. "Fruit-a-tives" is made from fruit juices, and contains SALICINE obtained from Oranges. Owing to its marvellous action on the bowels, kidneys and skin "Fruit-a-tives"' prevents the formation of Uric Acid, which is the prime cause of Rheumatism. And with the stomach clean, the liver active, the bowels regular, the kidneys strong and the skin healthy, it is utterly impossible to have Rheumatism. *Fruit-a-tives" is the only medicine in the world that acts directly on all these organs and cures them.
