while that worthy said a few things,
among them the time-worn suggestion
to the effect that when the boys of the

the wonderful possibilities of this great

or Government Money.

At close of our Civil War in 1865,
there appeared in the London Times
the following:
eff that m~ischievous financial pol
icy which had its origin in the North
American Republic during the late
Civil War in that country, should be-
come lndurated down to a fixture,
then that government will furnish its
money without cost. 1t will have all
the money that is necessary to carry
on its trade and commerce. 1t will
become prosperous beyond precedent
in the history of civilized nations of
the world. The brain and wealth of
all countries will go to North America.

DESTROYED OR IT WILL De
STROY EVERY MONARCHY ON

THE POWER OF PALESTINE.

Within three years a mar will be
able to get into the train at Ostend and
trayel straight through to Port Arthur.
In five years a person will be able to
travel in a railway carriage from the
cape to Alexandria. There is yet q
third great world line from CONSTANT
nople, via Palestine, Persia, India and
Burmah to Hong Kong. The impor-
lance of these three great lines of COM
%munication cannot be sufficiently dwelt
upon, it can certainly not be exagger-
ated. With the Siberian railway we
have nothing to do now; with regard to
the other two this is to be noted; they
both meet in Palestine. Palestine is
the great centre, the meeting of the
roads.
Who ever holds Palestine commands
the great lines of communication, not
only by land, but also by sea; not only
would the power in Syria control the
railways, bat would be master of the
Suez canal, and, in addition, would
dominate Egypt! With a modern pow
er like France or Germany firmly es-
tahlished in Syria the British could
only remain in Egypt on tolerance .
Syria, with its mountain ranges, is easy
to defend and hard to conquer; in the
case of Egypt, the reverse is true.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the

way to cure deafness, and that IS by c~onstitu-

Eustachin Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have a rnmbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entire y closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
