One OF the latest botanical discov-
cries Of interest to seekers for health
is called Alkavis. from the Kava-Kava
shrub Of India. 1t is being imported by
the Church Kidney Cure company Of
New York, and is certain cure for
several bodily disorders. The Kava-
Kava shrub, or. as botanists call It,
Piper Methysticum," grows on tho
banks Of the Ganges river. and probab-
~ was used for centuries by the natives
before its extraordinary properties be-
came known to civilization through
Christian missionaries. In this re-
spect it resembles the discovery Of qul-
nine from the peruvian bark, made
known by the Indians to the early
missionaries in South America, and by
wonderful discovery, with record Of
1900 hospital cures in thirty days. 1t
acts directly upon the blood and kid
neys, and is true specific, just as qul-
nine is in malaria. We have the strong
est testimony Of many ministers OF
the gospel, we'll known doctors and
business men cured by Alkavis. So far
the Church company, No. 422 Fourth
avenue, New York, are the only i'm
porters Of this new remedy, and they
are so anxious to prove its value that
for the sake Of Introduction they will
send free treatment OF Alkavis pre-
paid by mail to every reader Of this
paper who is sufferer from any form
Of kidney or bladder disorder, Bright's
disease, rheumatism, dropsy, gravel,
pain in back, female complaints or 9TH
er afflictions due to improper action Of
the kidneys or urinary organs. We ad-
wise all sufferers to send their names
and address to the company, and re-
ceive the Alkavis free. It Is sent to
you entirely free. to prove its wonder
full curative powers. =

meeting the problems of the winter both

experience. The reports showed that the
work last season was well done and that
the charitable efforts OF the citizens are
gradually becoming more systematic and

that economy and 1udicious generosity go

essary to spend lavishly in order to prevent
suffering. Organization and system are the
chief requirements In any charity work,
and the citizens OF the capital are learning

against the pirates the latter would kill the
hostages now in their power. Accordingly
an effort is now being made to secure the
release Of the prisoners. after which Italy
hopes to organize a raid to clean out the
Riff mountains and the Mediterranean of
these human vermin. The sultan OF Nor
Deco is not only inactive while the pirates
are carrying on their business. but 1t Is
suspected that he is compIacent and per-
haps party to their operations. At all
events, he is feared by the powers OF Eu-
rope just as the sultan of Turkey Is feared.

be crushed. as 1t should be- in the interests

that. it is feared will precipitate the Mo-
hamedan uprising that Europe has dreaded
for many years. The ugly condition of af
fairs in India is hint as to the danger
that exists in Morocco. The sultan. know
ing this feeling of apprehension, is far
more Independent in his dealings with the
powers of Europe than his national
strength alone warrants. He probably
could put an end to the piracy in the Rir
region with comparatively slight difficulty
but he prefers for his own purposes TO
foster the business and to keep Europe un-
easy. Aside from the religious war that is
so keenly dreaded. 1t is felt that any move
toward readjustment Of the political lines
of northern Africa would bring about
general quarrel among the European pow
ers themselves that would perhaps precip
tate the crisis which has been threatening
the contir ent for a score or more of years.
Italy will probably find her task OF punish
ing the Riff pirates. therefore. even harder
than the sub1ugation of King Menelik.

Piracy in the Mediterranean.

IL Is strange commentary on the ciyili-
zatlon OF this end of the nineteenth century
mat piracy should again be occupying the
attention of the European nations as a
subject demanding immediate and serious
attention Yet such is the case and under
circumstances so peculiar as to indicate in
4 measure one of the chief dangers OF
European peace The north shore of Nor
Deco is marked by a series of bluffs that
using pTecipitously from the Mediter-
fanean, afford few harbors for legitimate
'radtFS and many secure hiding places for
smusslers and outlaws. These cliffs known
as the Hif or Rin mountains. are now shell

bands or pirates who, unmoIesaed by the
sultan OF MOROCCO and apparently standing

Europe, occasionally swoop down on trad

ture men and women whom they hold for
high ransoms. This practice a revival OF
me piracy OF several scores OF years ago
