1.-The excellence of Pabst Malt Extract
Is not unknown to me, as have used it
professionally for years, always with the
most satisfactory results. For mothers
nursing their children and for general
debility from any cause, regard it as
of especial value, as it combines both
tonic and nutrient properties, which
make it truly the Best Tonic"
81 recently prescribed Pabst Malt Ex-
tract, The BEST" Tonic, to three of my
patients, all of whom were ladies, and
all of whom were suffering from dyspep-
STA and its consequences, and in all these
cases it acted like a charm. Two of
them bought more of the tonic, and
continued to take it, until now they tell
me they can eat anything, and one of
them added everything, without the
slightest Inconvenience. They have GER
tainly improved wonderfully in weight
and strength. ] have prescribed your
BEST" Tonic great number OF times.
1t is one of the best, if not the very best,
of its kind"

A PEN SKETCH OF M. LOUBET.
He is Hard Smoker and Decorates the Grounds of the Eysee Palace Dressed i'm Brown
 With Pipe i'm His Mouth.

M, Loubet, as the new president of France, has succeeded in establishing him. self firmly in the hearts of his people in spite of the fact that the Due dOrleans has announced, after calmly sitting in Judgment upon him, that he does not ap- prove of him. This young man had hoped that in the excitement attending the sud- den death of President Faure he might slip unnotieed upon the throne that was lost by his ancestors so many years ago and now that he has found that this was but an idle dream he has comforted himself by casting reflections upon the ability of the ruler selected by the people. I'M. Loubet," he says lis a man who at 60 has never succeeded in rising above the mediocre He has been elected for his negative qualities only. He will be the last president of the republic"
 The monarchial journals of Paris have also been exerting every effort to cast dis credit upon the new executive. They have dilated at length upon his humble origin: they have pictured him in felt slippers walking about with a pipe in his mouth; they have asserted that he always tucks corner of his table napkin in his shirt collar when dining at home, but so far from having the desired effect these at- Jacks upon the habits of the man have only tended to endear him to the people.
 For some time the people at large have been restless under the semi-monarchial

LIFE TN THE SAMOA.
It is Merry Unsettled Now Owing to Dispute
 Between Tan1asese and Malietoa aa-o

It Is almost impossible for us to regard seriously the recent row in Samoa. Like everything else that has occurred in that group of islands during the past few years it appeals to us as too ridiculous to be real. While it is undoubtedly the quintessence of tragedy to the poor brown skinned people who are living the story to us it appears more like opera-bouffe or remarkably unsophisticated species of childs play.
 It is farce In which intrigue, greed and simplicity play the leading parts but run ming through 1t is the mighty thread of the worlds politics for it is there, among these naive people, that the interests of three great countries, the United. States, England and Germany have clasbed.
 To those who were acquainted with the condition of things in Samoa the recent un- pleasantness was not surprising. It was simply part of the imbroglios that have existed eyer since the Samoan Islands wAra

rule of President Faure and 1t is a relief to them to know that the country is at last safely in the hands of a republican who is one of themselNls. What do they care, therefore, if his mother does live on a farm near Montelimar, and wears peasant garb? What do they care for his felt slippers? To them the shirt collar is the proper place for table napkin, for the scenes that have been ridiculed so freely by the monarchial party and their organs are duplicated everyday in the homes of the petite bour- that is the backbone, the common sense, the sobriety and the responsibility of France, and, as one of their own class they love and esteem their new president.
 No person has ever accused M. Loubet of being brilliant, but during the many years of his public service his record has not been blackened by a single unworthy act. Unlike many of the presidents and political leaders of the country, he has no immoral past to stand in the way of the fulflment of his duty and all who know him unite in regarding him as the safest man to be at the helm of the government at this crisis when the several pretenders are taking advantage of the excitement caused by the Dreyfus case to threaten the stability of the republic.
 It was for this reason that M. Loubet was chosen. He was never, nor is he now a Leftist a Centrist, a Progressist or a So cialist; a Dreyfusist or an anti-Dreyfusist.
 As an orator, statesman or legislator he has never attracted as much attention as have many of his associates, but he has long been known as one of the staunchest of republicans, a man who believed in the strict enforcement of the constitution and who has done his utmost to see that every
