Germany Trying to Secure Naval Sta

Germany Trying Co Secure Naval Sta
tion on Venezuelan Coast.
Washington, May 2.-Although the
matter has never figured before the
state department. the navy department
has been closely watching the happen-
ings near Margarita island, off the
coast Of Venezuela, which have given
rise to the report that a German coal
ing station is to be established, there.
The facts have been reported to the
department by some of the naval Off
GERS who commanded vessels which
have eruised in those waters recently.
Last year a German warship spent
ten weeks in looking into the posi-
bilities Of Margarita island and this
fact Led to an examination on our own
account which developed the presence
on this important stragetic point Of enc
of h finest arbor in South America,
possession of which would afford the
United States. OF any other nation with
a navy. practical control of the Pana-
ma canal from the eastern side.
Aside from this island. some OF the
best posted ava authorities hold that
the gulf of Cariacoa, ON the. north
coast OF Venezuela, offers by far the
most advantageous site for an Aneri-
can coaling station if one is to be To-
Gated in that part of the world.
In view of the reported German sur
veys in that quarter, the naval author
tiles here are showing unusual inter
est in the points available for Ameri.
can use. The state department never
has cen called upon to specifically
construe the Monroe doctrine so. far as
it. might relate to the attempt by q
European government TO secure a coal-
ing station in the gulf of Mexico ar the
Caribbean sea.

The Messenger is pleased TO read that
the fish and oyster business OF this
state is increasing. But IL is not
o~ne-fourth what il should be. It is
given at 81, 500. 600 for 1900. It Should be
5000, 900 at least. Little Connecticut
sent its little vessels into the Chesa-
peake Bay some thirty years ago and
got the necessary oyster seeds, and
planting them in Long Island Sound
on the Connecticut coast. 1t oon de-
veloped a business worth some S.. 0

invented spectograph, which enables
a person using telephone to see his
interlocutor and the latter's surround

70 the paper, has witnessed conclusive
tests of the invention, and King Leo

neut can be adapted for use on an Or

F.latiss Fits.

Ordinary fainting fits are not often
dangerous in the least. They are
caused by the temporary absence ol
blood from the brain, caused by q sud-
den fright or shock Of any kind; even
by slight attack Of indigestion. II
you are certain the attack il simply
one Of ordinary fainting, the remedy
is simple one. Lower the head and
lift the body and feet little higher,

TO the head. Loosen the clothing
about the throat and waist and allow
an abundance of fresh air to be ad.
mitted to the room. Do not allow
many persons to stand about the per-
con fainting. as they exhaust the air.
Apply smelling salts to the nostriis or
ordinary ammonia diluted with water
and poured on the handkerchief. A
little sal volatile or twenty drops oi
sweet spirits Of lavender in half glass
Of cold water will assist in restoring
consciousness, when the patient can
swallow. Unless physician 10 pres

1t is wonderful what advance the
science Of medicine has made in the
past decade. Now consumption is to
be treated by Natures own methods.
The patients are TO live in tents
these are to be circular in form and
are to have an open fire in the cen ter.
No matter how cold the weather, it is
expected that the consumptives shall
live in these tents during the entire
time. They will have an abundance
OF felt blankets. felt sleeping boots
and jug Of hot water, and will be al.
lowed TO eat three hearty meals day.
They may have coffee for breakfast
and hot chocolate at any time.
This open-air life is expected to ef-
feet cure. The patients will have
nothing of the worries of the ordinary
life, and only enough OF its work tc
cause them to sleep we'll at night
Aud they will be almost sure to SLEEP
we'll, from the effects of the open air
Such life quickly fortifies the bodily
powers Of these patients. Il is said
that tho skin, hair and nails toughen
and thicken, and that pulmonary
catarrh stops, hemmorrhages cease
and that the consumptives are entirely
cured.
Nature has her own remedies for TIE
ills to which Aesh is heir, and it il
our province to search them out
Could We ask her, believe she would
tell US that pure air, healthful food
Absence from worry aud laughter are
her favorite remedies, or preventives,
which amount to the same thing
We do not laugh enough. Good
hearty laughter is often of more value
than twenty doses Of medicine.
