BOARD OF HEALTH.

Whatever may be the opinions
about w. o. Smith, and they are GER
tainly varied, there is one general
opinion of his as hygienic admins
traitor, and that is the very highest.
He is indefatigable and he is deter
mined. When he takes health matters
in hand he is the most earnest man
that we have, and he inspires his as
sistants and even his advisers, with
the same confidence that he has him
self.
There can be no doubt that to his
determination and his capacity for or
ganization is due the escape the city
and Islands had from a fearful cpl
demic of cholera. That the citizens
turned to and helped him with a will,
is perfectly true, but good help is in
spired by good leadership and ocular
demonstration that the help is not
being wasted; that is to say, good help
also requires good organization, and

Great complaint is made by the
store keepers on King street that the
slop carts which gather the refuse,
come along the street and sometimes
stop opposite the stores as late as Q
o'clock in the morning. The odors
from these carts are certainly not
those of Araby, the blest, but are so
strong and offensive that customers
fly, while those in charge of the stores
are sometimes fain to lose their break
fasts. There can be no reason why
these carts should not be out of the
way by six o'clock. In all well regu-
cities, they are known as might
in fact, in London, and most English
cities, they are knnown as might
carts" A short time ago the business
hours of the day were chosen as the
proper period in which to put the
odorless Co eXcavator to work on
Fort street, but a vigorous protest on
the part of the citizens put an end to
that nuisance. 1t only requires this
matter to be brought to the notice of
the Board of Health to have it chang
ed. The slop carts should not be on
the main thoroughfares after seven
o'clock at the very latest, and six is
the better hour.

The Fashoda incident still serves to
keep the eyes of the French upon af-
fairs abroad. The British government
is determined to hold its own in the
Nile valley and in every part of the
Soudan to which Egypt has a claim.
the tone of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach
in his speech at North Shields is de-
cidedly firm. Either France must now
back down or war will come. This
puts the French government between
the horns of dilemma. 1t is not sure
of its army, and therefore is almost
afraid to go to war, though undoubt-
eddy wave of patriotism would sweep
over the nation. On the other hand
if it backs down it will become eX-
tremely unpopular, and the army un-
der another patriotic wave might then
sweep the ministry. The French cabi-
net does not rest on bed of roses

YOU AND YOUR WORK.

We are all the time hearing men,
and women, too, talk like this. MY
work is too much for me; it worries
me and wears me out; it upsets me
so l can hardly eat, drink or sleep;"
and 50 on. Once in while, no doubt,
that is SO; but, commonly, it is not,
their work that is too much for them,
but their poor health, their weakness.
They are out Of sorts in any one or
more Of hundred ways. Condensed,
the idea is this: Bad Digestion, Thin
Blood, Loss of Strength and, perhaps,
Flesh. Tendency to fret and worry
over small things, Lack Of Courage
to attend to details and face risks,
etc. In two words, loo Uitality. What
is needed is a short course Of

Fiji bananas sell well in Vancouver,
Hawaiian bananas ought to. The time
of transit is far less and fruit the
less time the better. The Fiji Times
quotes from a gentleman who has
been receiving 400 punches monthly,
that he expects to work up trade of
at least 5000 punches monthly. Now
Hawaiian bananas ought to beat FIJI
bananas hollow, and moreover Fiji
stands a good chance of losing the
Canadian line.

WAMPOLE'S
PREPARATION,

Of the nutritive properties Of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from
fresh cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup Of Hypophosphites
and Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry
Bark. Palatable as honey, it drives
out disease germs and makes the
blood rich, red and full of constI uc-
tiSe elements. You grow warm,
strong and elastic; and soon find you
are enough, and to spare, for any
business. Unlike worthless relics Of
a dead medicinal past, the prepare
ton does not boast of its age; but
Of It's excellence. The sick who use
it keep step with the march of pro-
g1ess. and get well. You c,lnnot be

The fields Of labor seem to open out

The fields of labor seem to open out
before us in our necessity. With the
Philippines annexed to the United
States, or even with the Island of Lu-
zon alone, Edward POLITE, the new
president of the Hawaiian Commercial
and Sugar Company, thinks that there
will be an ineNhaustible store of labor
to be obtained. The wages offered here
would seem gold mine to the ordi-
nary Filipino.

The reported fight between Dewey
and the insurgent fleet seems to rest
on very slim foundations. The insur-
gent vessels are the verist little cock
boats. There may have been an en-
gagement between some of the small
gunboats captured from the Spanish
during the war and now flying the
serious naval engagement for big

The Cost of Maintaining Prisoners.

At the present the taxpayer pays the
board, for six months at time fire.
quently, for Il darkey who is charged
with the enormous crime of stealing a
watermelon valued at five cents, or
ten cent chicken. This board costs $12
per month, and term of six months
costs the parish $72 for feeding the
prisoner. One such case would he one
too many, but Jail full of them is
terrible drain for board. Then comes
the mileage and fees of witnesses, the
cost of impaDeling juries, the time con-

through a seive:-Iberian.
