Orders have been issued for the re-
pairs necessary on the gunboat Ben
nington to be made at Hongkong in
stead of having the vessel return TO
this country, as has been the custom
when a ship on foreign station was
found in need of an overhauling. This
policy of repairing vessels of the navy
on the Asiatic station at Hongkong is
meeting with some opposition in the
construction corps of the navy. X is
argued that, although the repairs can
be made somewhat cheaper on account
of the little expense entailed by the
employment of Chinese labor. the ex-
pense in the end will be far greater
to the government. because of the poor
quality of the work.

imparting such high speed to the car
by causing it TO descend steep grade
that when it changes its course as it
does in passing through the vertical
loop of track, the center of gravity
will tend toward the bottom of the
car. thus forcing every rider more
firmly into his seat. The passage
through the loops is accomplished so
quickly that it is hardly realized, and
then the car proceeds with the less
exciting portion of its journey. The
car takes on its load in the position
shown, and the cable elevstes it to the
top of the steep incline. with the pass
engers facing backward through the
first stage of the journey.

All Doctors have tried to cure
catarrh by the use of powders,
acid gases, inhalers and drugs in
paste form. Their powders dry
up the mucuous membranes
causing them to crack open and
bleed. The powerful acids used in
the inhalers have entirely eaten
away the same membranes that
their makers have aimed to cure,
while pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old
and experienced practitioner who
has for many years made a close
study and speciality of the treat
ment of catarrh, has at last per-
fected a treatment which when
faithfully used, not only relieves
at once, but permanently cures
catarrh, by removing the cause,
stopping the discharges, and cur
ing all Inflammation. 1t is the
only remedy known to science
that actually reaches the afflicted
parts. This wonderful remedy is
known as "Snuffles the guar
anteed cure" and is sold at the
extremely low price of one dollarl
each package containing interna,
and external medicine sufficient
for a full months treatment and
