A TRUE Cause for Regret.

1t makes the heart of every philau-
thropist sad to see so many worthless
patent medicines pulled and sdver-
tised for the cure of chronic diseases.
Usually the remedy is some vile
cathartic compound or alcoholic pre-
partition, combined with buchu, tur-
pentine or other severe diuretic that
affords the invalid only temporary
relief, but which has no lasting effect,
and in truth eventually brings on a
complication of diseases arising from a
state Of WORKOUT and exhausted digest
i've and urinary ORGANS that nothing
but death can relieve. Invalids should
trust more to nature for their recov-
cry. A gentle medical tonic hat
stimulates enfeebled digestion and
strengthens every part Of the system
by its soothing and refreshing efecton
both mind and body, is natures truest
and best assistant. Such a remedy is

LONDON, October 10, 1sS1.-The
secretary OF the Oldham Cotton Spin
ners' Association has written a letter
to Col. A. D. Shaw, United States
Consul at Manchester, declaring that
thousands of tons of sand are paid for
by Oldham spinners as cotton in con-
sequence of fraudulent packing. The
letter suggests that the names of the
planter and packer be placed inside
each bale Of cotton. 1t is stated that
another cotton corner has been form
ed, and that cotton not yet grown is
actually being bought at fixed rates.
The members of the Cotton Spinners'
Association have advanced many sug-
gestions in regard to stopping cor
ners. Many favor dealing in futures
being absolutely prohibited, and many
suggest that legislation should be Sc
cured to prevent speculation and gam.

why We Die Early.

Some of the reasons why men catch
cold and find premature graves:
Living nine-tenths of their days in
the house; breathing house air; bleach.
ing in the house, and getting thin and
sallow in the house. Sitting down to
eat tired and perspiring, and then
wondering why nothing touches the
right spot End ones food seems to do
no good.
Soaking and scrubbing ones body to
death in daily hot baths.
Taking a health paper and trying to
live up to its directions.
Going to bed hungry getting craZed
with an idea that it's unhealthy to eat
at night.

The value of our recent acquisition
in the Arctic seas, about the right of
which our Canadian friends are so
concerned, may prove greater than
they or we suppose. Wrangell Land,
though within the Arctic Circle, is by
no means so remote from our north
ernmost frontiers as Spitzenbergen,
and not more so than Nova Zembia IS
from European ports. S%pitzbergen
was discovered in 1886 blythe Dutch
n~avigators Heemskerk, Barentz and
Ryp, but in 1913 James l. granted the
Russia Company in London the ex-
elusive right to fish in the Spitzter-
gen waters, and seven war ships we're
sent out to enforce their pretensions.
At present few whales show them
selves in these waters, but at that
time, says Hartwig, the right whale
was so abundant in them, that fire.
quently no less than forty whalers
used to anchor in a single bay and
Spitzenbergen presented an animated
spectacle during the summer season"
What the fisheries Of Wrangell Land
may turn out to be worth or whether
its mineral wealth is considerable, no
one can yet say.
The practical value Of the possession
in any event must obviously hinge on
its accessibility by steam whaling YES
sells. That it is not so mae
cessible as hitherto represented
the Corwin has demonstrated.
The previous attempts TO reach
it have been made from the sea on its
eastern side, contrary TO the best
Judgment Of the ablest Arctic explor-
ers, who have long laid it down as a
rule that the western sides Of Arctic
lands are generally free Of ice and
hence most approachable. 1t is well
known that while West Spitzbergen
is frequently visited by ships, its east
ern coasts are attained with great diff
fculty. The Corwin, it will be re.
membered also, was foiled in her re-
cent attempt to reach Wrangell Land
from the east side, and only succeeded
when she advanced on it from the
south. Had she gone through
Long Strait and made an attempt
from the west or northwest, it il
likely she would have had much less
, ice to battle with. In 1867 the bark

Military Reorganization In HOI-

Holland is the latest of the Euro
pean powers to catch the contagion Of
military reorganization. Her army at
present consists of over 10000 men.
This is to be increased to more than
10000, while the civic guard or the
militia will be increased to 142, 900.
The chief point in the reorganization,
however, is that the regulars and the
civic guards will in future be con-
nected, so that the kingdom will prac-
tically have a standing army Of 200,-
600 men upon which it a call in an
emergency. In addition to this force
there is the colonial establishment,
consisting of about 10000, which will
not be changed, and which will amply
be sufficient for the protection Of Hol-
lands foreign possessions. These
military preparations in the little
kingdom may not be without their sig
niRcance. While it is not very likely
that there will be any departure from
the traditional policy of neutrality to
which the Netherlands have adhered
for the last forty years, it is evident
that her statesmen are not insensible
to the possible perils of a general war

More or less anxiety is expressed in

Of various alleged expressions of his

such changes should be made ia the
present tariff and system Of taxation as
well relieve eay overburthened indus

Pit.sburg Special to the Chicago Tribune.l
An event Of considerable importance
to the local iron trade came off to-
day. The largest steam hammer in
the United States, recently placed in
position in the Black Diamond steel
works of Park Brothers x Co., was
operated this forenoon for the first
time, except q brief trial on Saturday
to see that all the machinery was in
working order. The hammer weighs
II tons. With a full head of steam it
will strike a blow of 80 tons, but, as
this tremendous weight is not always
necessary in hammering, it can be
made to strike as light as desired. 1t
has a 38.inch cylinder and a nine-foot
stroke. The test was watched with
great interest. The ponderous blows
made the earth quake for a radius Of
nearly 200 yards. 1t will require
several days to perfectly adjust the
hammer SO that q blow of ~anyrequired
weight may be given with exactness
and nicely. The Black Diamond
works are now operating twenty-six
hammers, which weigh from 200pounds
up to II tons. The big hammer is for
forging steamboat shafts and other
heavy work, which is now done in the
East or Europe.
