Still Mistress Of The Seas.

Washington, D. c., March 27.-Ac-
cording to a report to the State Depart
ment by United States Consul Sawter,
of Glauchau, the shipbuilding yards Of
Great Britain during 1900 turned
out 1,442,471 tons of CONNER
clal vessels, against S6l ,692 tons by all
other countries combined. With war
ships added, the respective amounts
aggregated 1,510,S35 and loss, 1872.
In the last three years, however, says
Consul Sawter foreign countries have
doubled their output. while England
has increased only so per cent. The
limited States last year led both Cor
many and France, the amounts of tons
standing respective 35s, 557, $50, ISL
and 165, 348.
Germany turned out the largest ship,
Deutschland, of 1862 tons. Four
others German steamers had each tom
mage of over 10000. England built
eight big ships, four being 1900 tons
each, and the Minnehaha IL, 4O3.
France is fast increasing her sailing
feet, in consequence of subsidies, and
makes no Roadway with steamers.

Fruit Cures Inebrlety.

DO you know any one who is large
fruit consumer who is drunkard
If you do, do not and why?
In conversation with a physician
on this subject he admitted the fact
and justifies 1t with this reason that
the desire among horticulturists for
liquor is, comparatively speaking, I'M
known to those living largely on sub
acid fruit; that one of the mildest and
speediest cures tor the liquor appetite
is habitual fruit diet. Another says
that the eating Of tomatoes with salt
by one addicted to alchcllc beverages
will soon make liquor as beverage
offensive, undrinkable and ungrateful
to the stomach, so much so that it will
nauseate when drunk. If so this is
the cheapest remedy yet offered and
should supplant the "Keelev cure"

worse when you do eat heartily. You
