North Edgecomb. 1t was built in 1745 and
was occupied during the embargo OF 1907

Fort Halifax at the mouth OF the Sebasti-

Queen vIctoria's Property and Ex-
penSes.

Inc controversy now going On in the Eng
lish Parliament over the revenues and ex.
penses of the family of Queen Victoria
touches upon one of the great constitutional
issues of the British government. In the
early days of England the public lands were
the property of the people, and the sovereign
was merely their keeper. In those days the
sovereign had the right to acquire, own and
dispose OF property other than the public
lands as any person would But when the
kingship had increased in power and infiu-
ence the public land was regarded as the
Kings land, and the Kings private estates
were merged in the public possessions and
could not be disposed OF by him by will.
From the revenues from crown lands the
royal family was expected to pay large
share ofits expenses. But the princes Of
England have always been improyident so
Tar as self support is concerned, and were
continually diminishing the crown lands by
lmproyident grants to royal fayorites. For,
enough King might not convey the crown
land by will. he could give it, sell 1t or mort
gage IT, Charles !, Charles II. James III and
william Ill were so improydent that in
Anne reign parliament put conditions on
the liberality Of the sovereigns with their
lands For when the revenues of the crown
lands diminished, so that the royal expenses
could not be paid, Parliament had TO make
up the difference. And much trouble did
this give the loyal but prudent commas ~
England. So in the time of George III
who lived parsimonously that he might
bride members of Parliament freely, it was
arranged that the King should surrender his
life interest in the hereditary revenues
mainly revenues from the crown lands, in
return for fixed sum, designated under the
name of the civil list, of eSOO,O later in
creased to 100000 year. Then first Parlia-
ment began to have direct control of the
personal expenses of the sovereigns; and,
then, too, the crown lands having been sur
rendered TO the people, did the soverelgus
begin to have property of their own, as do
subjects. When George III. received his
civil list of 100000 pounds year, 1t was

The Boston Advertiser thinks the whole
secret OF our failure to revive our foreign
trade shipping lies In the fact that American
sailors demand higher wages and better food
than the sailors of any other nation, and
that for that reason we cannot compete with
England. II that be the difficulty 1t is obvi-
GUS that the purchase Of foreign built ships
by Americans and placing them under the
American flag would not cure 1t. And 1t has
been demonstrated by actual results that
none Of the measures which Congress has
hitherto adopted to revive our foreign ship
ping have proved effectual. The remedy is
to be- sought along new lines As the Ad-
vertiser suggests, one of two courses must
be followed: either wages must be reduced
and the expense OF living cut down. or sys-
TEN OF subsidies or bounties must be en-
tered upon by the government

My little daughter, Mary Cecilia Brunold, was
afflicted with the worst case of eczema ever seen
BY the doctors who treated her. She was liter
ally covered from head to foot with scabs. These
physicians tried their best to cure her. but
believe they were only experimenting. They kept
on ior eyer zen bp instead ms

after we had paid all we could afford for me deal
treatment, to medical college where there were
some twenty or thirty doctors assembled, but the
case baHed them all. My wife had to go every
day, and sometimes twice day. In fact the med
iciLe they gave my child did not have time to act
even If there was any virtue In it, it was changed
SO often by orders of the doctors. The latter part
thence and money were both exhausted, 1 made up
my mind to quit all doctoring and try the CUTi-

that my daughter Is cured, sound in health, and
well, to the surprise OF hundreds.
