ract of the eve cured, and by
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy.
For several years I had been subject
to evere attacks of cramp collie. Some-
times they would last me an hour, and
hardly a week passed that l did not
have several attacks. / tried every
thing that was suggested, but found no
relief. During these attacks the muscles
of the arm and egg were terribly drawn
and the whole body was cramped. I
was advised 20 try Mrs. Joe Persons
Remedy, which gave me relief at
once, but not until I had taken two
dozen bottles was / entirely cured. Tt
was eight years ago since J took the
Remedy andI have not had a touch of
the trouble since.
My brother was suffering with a cat
aract on his eye, which affected his
evesight badly. Seeing the good the
Remedy did me, he determined to try
it and used half dozen bottles of the
Bitters and uSed the wash freely at the
same time, which made a complete
cure of him, and he has never had any
trouble with his eyes since, being per-
fectly well. ] do not hesitate to recon-
mend it to anyone suffering from the
chronic collie aid the Wash cannot be
excelled for any trouble with the eye,
being perfectly painless.

WORLDS SHIPPING.

Ihere was d time when Amer
ica hoped TO cou4pete with Eng>
land in the dominion of the sea
and when there seemed every
probability that We would secure
as large a proportion Of the
worlds commerce; but that time
is past. The civil law gave our
merchant marine a fatal blow,
and the subsequent Legislation
was not friendly. so that our
shipping remained stationary.
Great Britain is now so far
ahead that neither the United
States nor any other power can
hope to catch up with it, certain
ly notfor a very long time. 1t
possesses practically half the
shipping IN existence. The totals
for the world of vessels of over
100 tons are %, $50, with a ton
mage of 1854, 069; aud of these
IL, $50 carry the British flag, Or
13, 1853 ,O26 tons, against 1926
063 for the rest of the world.
The question. therefore, is not
as to who stands irst-for the
supremacy of England on the
ocean is admitted by all-but as
to the second place; and it will
surprise many to know that if all
kinds Of vessels are counted the
United States easily holds the
position of second place. 1t has
f3,215 vessels of 2,234,725 tons,
against 1902 vessels of 1,669,s
1853 tons owned by Norway.
which is third in point of num-
Der, but not of tonnage; while
Germany comes next, with 1867
vessels of /, 943 ISL tons; France
fifth, with /, 157 vessels of 1 129, y
275 tons.
Italy, Russia, Sweden and
Turkey each have more than a
thousand merchant vessels, and
Sweden has more vessels in num-
Der than France, but none of
these nations reach a tonnage of
1 900 900 tons. We are actually
ahead of England in the matter
of wooden steamers, but in steam
craft of all kinds we are sur.
passed by Germ any, with 1885,
$50 tons, against u 1 OO5 ,459.
La sailing craft the United States
leads the world. On account of
the abundance of valuable woods
for shipbuilding, the United
States was ahead of the others
in the days of sailing and woods
en- vessels. It was when the iron
steamer deposed the wooden
ship from its monopoly of the
worlds commerce that Great
Britain forged to the frcnt in the
naval world and the Uniteo
States dropped behind.
OF sailing vessels, the United
Estates has 2, 511, of a tonnage OF
1,193 $40, while the entire Brit>
ish empire, colonies included
has only 2 314, of ZOE, $50 tons,
Great Britain, indeed, is third, as
Norway has 2,156 sailors of 1,
O42 ,084 tons. The other coun-
tries are nowhere,
These figures show that the
United States does not occupy
the place it should on the ocean,
when the advantages It posses
ses for ship building are consid
cred. 1t is one Of the few
branches of industry in which
this country does not occupy 6
leading position, and this is al
the more.to be regretted because
Ill seemed probable at the begin
ming that we would distance
England in this matter as VIZ
have done in others.
