QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has tire larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of appendicitis. Nervous
Prostitution or Heart Failure. etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food. regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and or
ganic action Of the system. and that IS
all they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You

low stage of the water. The farmers are
still in need of some irrigation and the
continued warm weather has dried up

little now runs through them. This low
stage of water is causing much trouble
among the farmers. There have never
more water right cases in the courts

DEPRESSION IN ENGLAND.
Measures Discussed to Meet Amer

Measures Discussed to Meet AmerI
can Competition.
London, Feb. 22.-The price of fur.
mace coke has been reduced in South
Yorkshire to 10 shillings a ton. This
is the lowest price that has prevailed
in years. 1t is said that the object of
the reduction is to save the iron trade
from ruin, it being hoped that the fur
naces that have been closed will now
be induced to reopen.
The Duke of Devonshire presided at
a meeting of the Furness railway com
pany in this city. He attributes the
serious depression in the iron and
steel industries to American competi-
ton, and predicted that the competi-
ton would become more acute, espe-
cially in rails, in which further de-
preston was inevitable He declared
that with coal at its present enormous
price it was hopeless to try to meet
the competition in foreign steel.
Sir Christopher Furness, M. P, in
an address to the shareholders of the
Stephenson company of New Castle,
said that the American locomotive
trade had increased $50 per cent,
while the British trade had decreased
rs per cent. He added that as the
Stephenson company could not obtain
in New Castle the accommodation
necessary to enable it to compete
with foreigners the works would be
transferred to Darlington.

Not Winds and Seas, but an ExplO.
sion Which Scuttles the Ship.
Boiler explosions are the terror Of
the seafaring man." said an old time
deep water captain. "Such thing is
bad enough on dry land, but imagine q
catastrophe Of that kind at sea. In
ninety-nine cases out Of hundred it
means the absolute wiping out Of the
craft itself and every soul on board.
'"The average landsman would be
greatly shocked in looking over the
maritime records to see how many yes
sells disappear each year and leave
absolutely no clew to their fate. They
run well up to the hundred mark, and
such mystery is not to be explained
away by storms. A Chinese typhoon
may swoop down like lightning out Of
a clear sky and tear ship to pieces,
but some floating wreckage is sure to
tell the tale. A boiler explosion, on the
contrary, will blow hole as big as a
railroad tunnel right through the center
of the hull, and the stricken vessel
simply goes down like shot. There
Is no time to unfasten a boat from the
davits or cut loose spar.
I'EIn the opinion of seamen, that is
the story Of at least 80 per cent Of the
ships that leave port and are never
heard Of again. Luckily the modern
system of marine boiler inspection
is extremely strict and thorough, but it
is impossible to absolutely prevent
carelessness and fraud, and often
enough. no doubt, the fault lies with
the engineer.
There is an old story Of a drunken
Scotchman who mistook the Their

The Needle Cure.

Sir James Grant, an English physi-

have an elaborate system Of treatmenf
known as acupuncture which utilizes
this idea; only they use the needles
for any and every thing. Contrary to
the natural superstition, the treatment
does not produce much pain, the sense

Under Arrest.
Manila, Feb. 22.-The police of Ma
Mia claimed to have obtained docu-
mentary evidence which they claim
tends to incriminate Francisco Reyes,
Italian consul at Manila and Manuel
Peypoch, consul for Uruguay, in aid
ing the Filipino insurgents. The evil
dence has been submitted to General
Macarthur.
Francisco Reyes is also prominent
as banker, broker and merchant.
He is the principal stakeholder in the
Manila Street Railway company. He
is charged with the circulation in the
Philippine islands of newspaper
called the ''Filipinos Antes Europa"
published in Madrid by his brother,
Isabelle de los Reyes. Manuel Pep
pooh, the consul for Uruguay in Ma
Mia, is alleged to have acted as me-
dunn for the exchange Of money in
Manila used under the direction of
the insurgent general, Trias. Disclos-
ures connecting Mr.. Balbas, manager
of the branch of the Spanish bank in
Manila, with the Carman transactions
appear insufficient to warrant his ar
rest.
