A BLIZZARD
Strikes Royal EerOads, u. C., and
Drives -Four Vessels Ashore.

One Of the most terrible gales on re.
cord occurred in Victoria on Saturday
last The Royal Roads were full OF
shipping, either loaded or seeking char
ters. The force of the wind was so grea'
that many of them parted their cables
or dragged their anchors, and Were
driven ashore. The first to part her ca
BILE was the splendid ship Duke Of Ar
gyle. She drifted half mile before he
second anchor was let go, when she
brought up The American ship Getiys-
burg, from Honolulu, seeking charter,
parted her cables at . p. M, and drifted
on shore to the east of Esquimalt lagoon.
The American ship Southern Chief par
ed cables at the same time and went
ashore near the Gettysburg. The Get
tysburg carried away her main and mi2
yin masts and stove a. large hole in hel
bows; the Southern Chief carried away
her mizzen mast. The bark Tiger lost
her mizzen mast and was otherwise iu-
iured, and is lying far up on the beac'
and the British bark Connaught, ladei
with lumber for the Cape of Good Hope
went ashore near the Gettysburg, ant
has nine feet of water in her hold. The
British bark Tiber, laden with lumbe
.om Port Discovery for lquique, rod'
out the storm and is in a seaworthy con
ditiln, alt ough the sea made clea
breaches over her. The bark Ivanho0
also held on in safety. 1t is not know
whether any OF the vessels can be gotter
off, or if they are insured. On shore
fences and chimneys were blown dow
and much damage done. No lives wer
lost so far as heard. Tahinga together
this storm created more damage tho
any that ever ragged before in British
Columbia.

The heaviest rain of the season occur

Farmers on San Juan island are jubil-
ant over the pros2e Gus outlook for that
Island during the coming season. With
regular steamboat communication with
Victoria every week, the produce of the
Islands can be easily sold at good prices,
and, as consequence, twenty-dollal
pieces are plenty now, where even hall
dollars were scarce year ago.

WATER.
Columbia

we may Judge something of the rela-
tive value of water, in tho human econ
umy, when we remember that most OF
he body and its solvent juices are pure
water. For example, the saliva is SO
Jer cent. water, the gastric juice 81, the
,ije 81, paucreatic juice 90, blood 70,
nd even our bones 10, rs solid as they
oem, Since the Creator made us as we
IRE, established these relations of water
20 the SYSTEM, it is reasonable to infer
hat large per cent. of alcohol com.
3ned with these solvent fluids would
OF increase their effectiveness. II the
hango OF starchy foods into grape sugar,
an important step in the digestive
gocess, demands 80 per cent. OF water
or its perfection, l cannot believe that
"a addition of 10 Per cent. Of alcohol
"ould render chat process any easier or
nore expeditions. On reaching the
omSch for another change, if the Ore
,rr, 10 Infinite wisdom, has made the
aatric Juice principally of water, do
of feel justified in recommending ale or
ogtcr as an aid 10 digestion. The same
umeiples will equally apply to all OF
.ta remaining processes. Water is the
,osJ solvent linown-more nearly uni
,crsal than any other This constitutes
Il the hest possible drink for all living
r,A.ures. --j)r. d. II. Hdnaford.
