HUMAN SACRIFICES

On the Altar of Diabetes, Saved by Dodd's Kidney Pills, Only.

Hardly a family in the country is free from Diabetes. Great thirst, failing sight, numbness in the thighs, bleeding gums, swollen ankles, ema- ciation, nervousness, pale or turbid urine, loss of sexual power, decaying teeth, pains in the loins or small of the back, are all positive signs that Diabetes is in the system.

Do you know how it ends? In DeatuH. A premature, horrible, agon- ized, pitiful death. The victim has no peace, no ease in life. His days are filled with tortures. His nights are waking dreams of agony. He longs to die, yet fears the terrors of his end. He dies, a bi vated, fetid, repulsive mass of corruption. ‘That is the only end of unchecked Diabetes. Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure it. ‘They drive it out of the system thoroughly, create new, clean blood, rebuild the diseased kidneys, and restore robust healdla

left Melbourne for London in March. 1889, is supposed to have been also ef- feoted by means of a key surreptitiously procured. In that case the robbery was not discovered till the arrival of the vessel in London.

The robbery from the China develop- ed in a remarkable way. Here the Ori- ental bank in Sydney placed the gold on board a coast steamer called the Avoca. At Melbourne the gold was transship- ped to the China. The China touched at Adelaide and other ports, but it was only at Galle the discovery of the rob- bery was made. Detectives operated on all the ports simultaneously, but no- where could a clew be found. The amount missing was the usual $20,000.

In 1878 a man named Weiberg, who had been a carpenter on the China, took up a selection in the interior of Victo- ria. Before settling down he married a Melbourne barmaid gnd appears to have confided to ber iautaee particulars of his past history. The Samson and Delilah etory was in part repeated, and the public laid themselves out to watch Weiberg. Tbe upshot was the arrest of the man as the safe rifler of the China.

One thousand sovereigns were found in a tin of fat stored away by him in Melbourne. In his hut was discovered a wooden plane stuffed with gold. The wood was hollowed out and the gold dropped in. In the but was also discov- ered a bar of soap containing 200 sover- eigus.

He told the detectives that he bad 1,800 sovereigns concealed on his selec- tion and offered if they accompauied him to point out where the booty lay. As may be surmised, he fooled the po- lice into a wild, thick timbered region,

| took them sfldeuly off guard and made

his escape. He was recaptured, howev- er, some months later.

The mystery of the Iberia was cleared up inastill more singular manner. One day two boys playirg at Williamstown saw a mouse run into a hole under the platform of the railway pier. One of the boys started to dig the mouse out with a svick and to his surprise un- earthed a ma s of sovereigns The po- lice were informed, and before the day was out 3. ?42 sovereigns were recovered

The recovery of the Aredale gold was more satisfactory as far as amount is concernel. For nearly two years the police libored in vain. The mystery might never have been cleared up but for an accident. A wharf lumper fish- ing at Nelson pier, where the Aredale bad beea berthed, hooked on to sowe- thing which excited his curiosity. b- taining assistance, the lumper succeed- ed in bringing to the surface the miss- ing box, with its treasure intact. The robber had evidently sunk the box, in- tending to return for it when opportu- nity offered. —Chambers’ Journ2.
