Reckoning a rupee at 18 pence, this would inean nearly £62,000,000 sterling. Doubtless ed by the trade returns. His estimate is, therefore, probably under rather than over the mark, for all classes of people have a quantity of ancient orna- | ments reprasenting cash which would not be included. Lord Curzon urges the natives to bring out this wealth and in- vest it, especially in industrial enter- prises, and in that way themselves reap the profits which British capitalists are slow to appreciate in the possibilities of the development of India, which they, have been negiectén: right along. he Stardard, coamenting on this ech, says :--"It is a relief to note that the members o: the Bengal Cham- ber of Commerce, te whom these words were addressed, do not belong to the classes which hoard the money. Very few natives who have a pot of gold in some secret place heard the appeal.

O., Rainy River, Feb. 14,.--(Special).--The hardships endured by the settlers of a new country so often bring on Rheumatism that any, well authenticated cure is eagerly dis- cussed and carefully investigated in this neighborhood. For this reason the recent cure of William John Dix- on has 'created a sensation. He was a familiar figure limping around with his stick, and his cure was so speedy and complete that it is little wonder people are looking on Dodd's Kidney. Pills as something to swear by. "T had an attack of typhoid fever," Mr. Dixon says in telling his story, "and after I got over it and started to work Rheumatism set in. I had pains in my back and in my right hip so bad that I had to use a stick to walk and I had no comfort in sleep- ing. I could no more than dress my- self for nearly two months, and for three or four months I could not lace my right shoe or put my right leg on my left knee. "A prother of mine advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills and - after taking three boxes I began to walk around and do my work and lace up my shoes. "Six boxes cured me completely."
