NEEDS or THE ENGLISH NAVY.

-
That the British navy should have an
enormous force of cruisers is admitted
on all sides. We have almost the
whole of the merchant shipping Of the
world. II assurances are not to 30 up
to prohibitiye rates on the outbreak Of
war, or even on the apprehension OF
war, the ocean routes must be patrOled
and the fast steamers of the enemy
must be watched; while every battle
fleet needs a large force of cruisers as
its eyes or scouts, and there is the visit
ing of coaling stations and the pro-
lection of cables also to receive atten-
ton.
We have no such cruisers as, for eX-
ample, the second EsmeIalda, which
belongs to Chill; or even as some Of
the new cruisers of theUnited States,
We are proud to think that the Els
merelda is British built; but the
Brooklyn. the Columbia, and other
cruisers of the United States are spec
linens Of what can be built on the
western side of the Atlantic.
II may, however, be admitted hat We
have made great strides in recent years
in cruiser building, and that atten-
ton for the next two years will be
directed toward two points which may
give us anxiety. Our ironclad
battle ships are larger than those oil

against the French. several coast

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
irhamed condition Of the mucous
lining of the EustachIan Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
ditioD, bearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inaamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces.
