The seeds Of intermittent and bilious remittent
fever terminate and bear evil fruit. No COM
muuity has altogether escaped it. In populous
wards Of large cities bad sewage causes it, and in
their suburbs stagnant pools in sunken lots breed
it. There is at once a remedy and means OF
prevention Its name is Hostetter's Stomach
Ritters which is without peradyenture, the most
potent aptidote in existence to the malarial virus
Fortified with this Incompatible, saving specific,

absolute npunity. Disorders Of the stomach

water any other cause, succumb to the
benehceGt corrective named, and rheumatic kid

by its.use when it is given persistent trial.

CHAPTER xK.-wHY NOT QUEEN

Although spent half the night1n porting
over log-books and other records, and con-
versing with Field-who, now that the ice
was broken, threw aside his reserve, and
treated me with all the cordially l could
desire-I rose next morning before the sun,
and, accompanied by Bolsover and my
host, and ten fishermen, went on board the
"Diana" to prepare for the reception of
Queen Nab.
On our way thither Field explained how
the present ruler came to her title. Two
years previously Mabel Fame had succeeded
her father. the fourth Protector; and as
she strongly objected to the appelIation as
being unsuitable for a young woman, and
the Council of Nine concurred in the OBJ
lection, it became necessary to choose an
other. The choice was, however, attended
with some difficulty. "Protectress," be
sides being questionable English, did not
sound well. ''Governess," beside sound
ing worse, was generally used in another
sense. Chief and President" have no
feminine, and Miss Fame made it condt-
ton sine qua non that the title selected
should denote her sex
The difficulty was solved by aningenfous
member Of the council why not Queenf"
he said. ''It is the feminine Of king; and

have exchanged it for its weight in d1a-
monds. | thought they would never have
done contemplating the reflection of their
figures and faces, and the most mottled
seemed to be quite as satisfied with their
compilations as the comparatively fair.
But nothing lasts forever, and after
awhile we returned on deck and resumed
our inspection of the cargo. What pleased
most, after the silks, prints, and looking
glasses, were some pins and needles, which
we found in case Of haberdashery; for
albeit these articles were made on the is
land, they were of a very rude and print
tive sort.
Queen Nab was in fever Of delight, and
when l asked her to do me the favor Of &C
cepting one of the long mirrors (Which, l
explained, could easily be taken out and
put in a frame,) she took both my hands
in hers and said she would never, never be
able to repay my kindness, a demonstra-
ton which, judging by their looks, did
not altogether please some Of those about
her.
"Oh, have forgotten all about the
booksr' she exclaimed, shortly afterward;
''aud they were what l most wanted to see.
But you have so many wonderful things
that I am really quite bewildered. Show
me the books, please, Mr.. Erie"
I said they were rather scattered about,
and would require getting together, but if
she would come again to the saloon would
show her some of them. So we went be-
low a second time, and l fetched a number
of books from my own berth and from
some Of the other berths, and put them on
the table. Among them were several
bound volumes Of the Graphic" and the
illustrated London News" and other
illustrated works. This was another sur
prise. The only picture the queen had
ever seen before was daub by a native
artist. Engravings she never had seen be-
fore AS she turned over the leaves she

Wonderful Water Power.

a correspondent OF the Atlanta
Constitution, in speaking Of the wa
tor,power on Savannah river, says:
ON these rivers are hundreds OF
shoals and rapids, which will some
day be thoroughly Developed, and
then tho banks Of this noble stream
will be lined with factories. Experts
say between Anderson and what was
once the iiourshing town of Peters
burg, distance of tifty-fvc miles,
there is enough water power to run
the machinery of the entire South.
For instance, at the mill Mr.. Grady's
party stopped for tho night, there is
canal of only two hundred yards
long, and it furnishes fall of thirteen
feet. A canal at the foot of Trottcr
shoals rs long rs the one in Augusta
would furnish fall of one hundred
and thirty-sevcn feet. The river
along there will average nearly 400
yards"

Protection was accorded Justice
Field, it is claimed, by authorityIof
United States, Attorney General
Miller, who telegraphed from Wash
ington to the Mershal Of TIC District let
to see that the person Of the Justice
was protected at any hazard. The
order extended also to Judge Saw
yer, of the United States Circuit
Court in this city, upon whom Mrs.
Terry made a personal assault last
year while on railroad train accom-
panied by Judge Terry. The order
was based upon this fact, and upon
the threats declared to have been
made openly by Terry against JUS
tice Field. Deputy Marshal Nagle
was directed to accompany Justice
Field under this order, and is said
to have given Judge Terry full warn

attack on Justice Field, and fired at
Terry rs the latter was about to

The American Pine Fibre Com
pany, Of Wilmington, N. c., has af-
fectcd an organization. The autho-
rizcd capital is &1,000,000, and the
object Of the corporation is to manu-
facturc textile fabrics, such as mat
ting, carpcting, burlaps and bagging,
from the fibre Of the straw of the
long leaf pine. The company has
purchased all the patent rights and
the plant for making fibre owned by
the Acme Manufacturing Company
and in operation at Cronlcy, N. c.,
and will largely extend tho opera
tions of those works. The present
annual capacity Of the mill for the
manufacture Of pine fibre bagging is
half a million yards, but the new
machinery that will at once be added
will more than double this capacity
and enable them to turn out at least
a million and u quarter yards of bag
ging.

Judge Thomas M. Cooley recently
refused a place that would pay him
$4,000 a year, because it would in
volve his resignation of his place on
the Railroad Commission created by
Congress. In commenting on this &C.
ton, the New York tSn2, takes occa.
sion to say:
"Thus far, in spite of the fact that
the Commission has never had {
man of practical railroad knowledge
among its members, it has been con
Quoted more successfully than wa.
anticipated when the tribunal wa.
established by Congress. Much O.
this success is attributed to the lee a
ability, fair-mindedncss and busincs
capacity of the Chairman. Judge
Cooley was favorably known among
lawyers before he became q member
of the Commission but his labor:
there have made him known to tho
whole nation; and he himself ap.
prcciatcs the honor which attaches
to the Office, and the good which ht
can do by remaining in it, sufficiently
to regard his present post as more
attractive than any private employ.
