STRENGTHENING The NAVY.
Nine New War Ships Built During the
Year-Testing Armor Plates.

The construction and equipment of'the new
ships for the navy have made very satisfactory
progress. Since March 4. 1889, nine new vessels
have been put in commission, and during this
winter four more. including one monitor, will be
added. The construction of the other vessels
authorized is being pushed both an the govern
ment and private yards, with energy, and
watched with the most scrupulous care.
The experiments conducted during the year
plates have been so valuable as to attract great
attention i'll Europe. The only part of the work
upon the new ships that is threatened by unusu-
al delay is the armor plating, and every effort is
being made to reduce that to the minimum 1t
is source of congratulation that the antici-
pated influence of these modern vessels upon
the esprit dc corps of the officers and seamen has
been fully realized. Confidence and pride i'll
the ship and among the crew are equivalent to
a secondary battery. Your favorable consider
alton is invited to the recommendations OF the

Indeed, this reciprocity provision is more than
an offer. Our part of the bargain is complete;
delivery has been made and when the countries
from which we receive sugar, coffee, tea and
hides, have placed on their free lists such of our
products as shall be agreed upon, as All equiva-
lent for our concession a proclamation of thar
fact completes the transaction: and in the mean
time our own people have free sugar, tea, coffee
and hides.
The indications Thus far given are very hope
ful of early and favorable action by the couD-
tries from which we receive our large imports
of coffee ana sugar, and it is confidently be-
lieved that If steam communication with these

work committed to his direction. The business
methods have been greatly improved A large
economy in expenditures and an increase OF

Operation of the Law Enacted by the Last
Congress.
The disability pension act, which was APP
proved on the 9th Of June last has been put
into operation as rapidly as was practicable
The increased clerical force provided was select
ed and assigned to work, and considerable
part of the force engaged in examinations IN the
field was recalled and added to the working
force of the office. The examination and adj
judication of claims have by reason OF i'm
proved methods been more rapid than ever
before. There is no economy to the government
in delay, while there is much hardship and
injustice to the soldiers. The anticipated
penditure. while very large, will not. it is be-
lieved, be in excess of the estimates made
before the enactment of the law. This liberal
enlargement of the general law should suggest
more careful scrutiny OF bills for special
relief, both to the cases where relief is anted
and as to the amount allowed.

HOPE FOR THE SICK,
One Remedy for One Disease


1.-the four greatest medical centres of the world
are London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna. These cities
have immense hospitals teemng with suffering hu-
manity. Crowds of students throng the wards study
ing under the Professors in charge. The most re-
nowned physicians of the world teach practice
here and the institutions are storehouses OF medical
knowledge and experience. With view of making
this experience available to the public the Hospital
Remedy Co. at great expense secured the prescrip-
tons of tine hospitals, prepared the specifics and al
though it would cost FROM s25 to 500 to secure the
attention of their distinguished orignators yet in
this way these valuable medicines are sold at the
price OF the quack patent medicines that food the
market and absurily claim to cure every i'll from q
single bottle. The want always felt for q reliable
class of domestic remedies is now filled with perfect
satisfaction The hospital Remedies make no I'M
reasonable claims. The specific for Catarrh cures

Seed Beds of Consumption.

Bavarian authorities are bestowing
pains and energy upon the effort to
systematic plan to stamp out tuber-
cnlosis. One difficulty in the way is the
apparent impossibility of determining
whether contagion or inheritance is the
more important factor in the propaga-
ton of the disease The Bavarian doc
tors are not satisfied with the opinion
now dominant in Berlin that heredity is
of no consequence and that thorough
prophylaxis may be established upon the
suppression of every possibility of con-
tagion, but they have proposed to the
Government an experiment on an ex-
tended scale for determining this point.
In the State prisons of Bavaria the NOR

Comets views as to the deadly character
of the deposits upon old stol walls are

internal surfaces of these old prisons are
simply seed beds for the propagation of
tubercle bacilis and that when man is
nominally condemned to incarceration
for year there is involved in his SEN
tence an unintentional condemnation to
death by urculosis.-Science.
