A SLOW VOYAGE.
The Albania at Sea One Year Between
New York and Manila.

The Albania at Sea One Year Between
New York and Manila.
From the Manila Times.
After months of suspense, during which
1t was thought the Albania had sailed her
last voyage and found a home at the bot
tom, the vessel arrived In port. She was at
sea for almost one year, and her tardy trip
establishes a record for slowness between
New York and Manila. She left the former
port on September II, and from that time,
with the exception of a three short weeks
at Rio de Janeiro for repairs, till last Sum
day night she wandered about in the
dreary waste of waters, waited hither and
thither by the winds, and not knowing
when, If ever, she would reach her desired
haven. The Albania arrived just in time
to prevent the outbreak of scuryy which
was threatened. One man was down, ana
it would have been only short time till
others would have followed. This unfor-
tunates seaman Is now In hospltal In
Manila, in company with shipmate VINO
suffers from chronic rheumatism. When
three days out from New York the Albania
encountered fierce West India hurricane,
which started a leak on the port bow. The
ship was tipped and thus partly caulKeo,
but it was found necessary to put into Rio
de Janeiro for repairs, which was done on
the 9th Of December. AT this port, all the
crew shipped at New York deserted, and
another had to be engaged. This latter
was of the checkerboard variety, incud-
ing, among others, two Filipinos who were
anxious to get home. Off the Cape of Good
Hope light and battling winds were ex-
perienced, and the running of the eastern
down. was made at loafing gait. Three or
four days from Manila the British tramp
steamer Omba was sighted, and vegetables
and other fresh provisions secured. When
some distance outside the harbor breeze
was found which lifted the hoodooed ship
and at last carried her merrily into Ma
nila. When she arrived the Albania was
81 days out from New York. Her owners
are Taylor Brothers of st. John. New
Brunswick, and her master Is Captain
Brownell, part owner. She carried 5000
cases of Standard oil

THE STEEL MARKET.

The American Strike Benefits the
Metal Trades in England.
From the London Mail
The famous engineering strike injured
our steel trade SO much that 1t was Grip
pied for many day after; now the Amer
lean strike Is giving us a chance again. On
all sides American agents are seeking to
place orders. Prices are steady and rising,
and manufacturers are turning work away
This is particularly shown in the tin plate
trade. The story Of this Industry is one
Of the most pitiable instances Of oyercom-
placency on record. Ten years ago 1t was
supreme In the world: then America came
in, and improved methods Of manufacture
left England far behind. But now we see
Welsh tin plate once more keenly demand
ed, and the Americans are swapping up
every ton they can lay hands on.
Apparently the tin plate makers are fail
ing to rise to the occasion. They are noto-
riously apathetic and now, instead of striy-
ing might and main to increase their out
put, they are assuming airs of independ-
ence and curtly informing would-be buyers
that they can fill no more orders for three
months ahead. This is quite In accordance
with the settled policy that long made the
tin plate trade a byword.
The traffic In American machine tools and
apparatus, which was SO keen here a year
ago. has for some weeks been singularly
American devices and underselling them
here. The royal mint has recently been
making lengthy experiments with Ameri-
can gas annealing furnaces. At first there
was some little trouble with them, owing
to oxidiZation, but this was overcome, and
the American furnaces are declared great
success. About fifty of them are at work
in Woolwich arsenal.

thirty times as much as 1t is bringing
there now. number of plantations were
set out, and about So 100000 We're invested
in them by La Pazites alone. Then qui-
nine fell, and now ii hardly pays to cut
the bark from the wild trees, although the
conditions in Java and the Philippines are
such that the trees could be raised there
at profit.
From the Andes to Java.
Until within comparatively few years 1t
was supposed that the Quinine tree would
grow only on the Andes. The South Ameri-
cans thought they had the monopoly of
the business The various governments
taxed all exports of the bark. 1t was all
shipped to London, where it was handled by
a trust, which raised and lowered quinine
prices at will. Then the English govern
ment decided to Introduce the trees into
CeylOn and India, and the Holland govern
ment planned similar experiments for Java
Both countries sent scientists to Peru
and Bolivia for seeds and plants. The
natives there got track of the matter and
impeded their mission In every possible
way. The Peruvian custom house officers
would not let the English specimens leave
the country for weeks. and In the mean
time one of the Bolivians poured some boil
Ing water over the seeds After q time
however. both seeds and plants were
secured for Ceylon and Java. The English
set out large plantations in Ceylon, and
also about Madras. They chose about the
same latitude and climate as those in which
the South American trees throve. and suc-
ceeded in producing trees which yielded a
fair quantity OF quinine.
The Javanese government set out it's
trees first in the botanical garden at Bui-
and elsewhere. They experimental for some
time. and finally discovered that the best
tree for them was the red-bark cinchona
tree. which grows to double the thickness

as quinine The process is to get the white
atoms out. This is done by mixing the dust
with water and boiling 1t In mineral oils
The boiling is done in great vats of steel,
IN which sort of kerosene refuse is put
There are steam pipes running through the
watts which keep the oil just at the boiling
point. or at almost 200 degrees Fahrenheit
AT this point the dust is dissolved, and the
quinlne atoms separate from 1t and go
into the oil, being soaked up as water
soaks up salt. After twenty hours all the
quinine has left the dust and become a
part of the oil, while the residue sinks to
the bottom.
The oil is now drawn off into other watts.
where 1t settles 1t now looks for all the
world like clear water. 1t Is really kero-
sene oil soaked with quinine. The next
thing is to get the quinine out. This Is done
by introducing sulphuric acid and water
The acid takes up the oil. but rejects the
quinine, and when the oil and acid are
drawn off the bottom Of the vat has a sedt
ment of dirty white sand. This is crude
quinine. 1t Is clarified or refined much as
we refine sugar, and at the end comes out
In the frosted silver, fiaky powder known
as pure quinine. 1t is now packed into tins
of one hundred ounces and thus shipped to
New York, Amsterdam, London and the
other great drug markets of the world.
Quinine Plantations in the Philip
pines.
Dr. van Linge tells me that IS per cent
of all the worlds quinine comes from Java
and that IS per cent Of this is from the
neighborhood of Bandong. He says that a
large amount OF that made here goes to the
United States, and that the demand from
there steadily increases.
Our government might easily set out
plantations in the Island of Mindanao.
That island Is almost as large as Java. Il

THE VALUE OF PAIN.
Calls Attention to the Fact That Dis
ease Exists.

Calls Attention to the Fact That Dis
ease Exists.
From Life and Health.
Pain is not disease; it is a symptom call
ing attention to the fact that disease exists.
We do not remove the disease by stopping
the pain.
Headaches usually arise from disturb
ances in digestion, due to overeating, cat
ing freely of soft foods, making bad COM
binations of foods, too much Of a variety at
meals, &c. Fermentation and decay of the
foods with the formation of poisons and
irritants result. The danger is reported at
headquarters. The thing to do is to heed
the voice of the faithful sentinel, assist
nature to get rid of the impurities general
ed, either by washing out the stomach
drinking freely of water, fasting for a day,
by vigorous exercise or eliminative baths.
Recognize In the pain the voice of friend
calling attention to the fact that We have
done wrong, and resolve never to violate
the laws of health on this point again. In
day or so the transgressor would feel
well and would be able to keep from get
ting into the same or a worse condition by
avoiding the causes.
This is not the way these symptoms are
usually treated. Pain is looked upon an
enemy, not as the voice Of a friend. fhe
sick one goes to a physician and demands
something that will stupefy or paralyZe the
given an opiate. the pain stops; the food
still keeps on decaying In the stomach:
he imagines he is well. The disease still
exists; the symptom alone has been re-
moved. The faithful sentinel has been
knocked down. The means of telegraphic
communications to headquarters has been
severed. The enemy has his own way and
is able to go ahead undisturbed in his de-
structiye work The watchers are asleep
under an anaesthetic or opiate The enemy
enters the camp Poisons that are gen
Grated In the stomach through errors in
diet, overwork and irritate the liver. the
lungs and kidneys, through which they are
eliminated, and finally result in Bright's
disease; or, the lungs being weakened, are
not able to resist the germs of the disease
that are inhaled. He falls victim to
tuberculosis and Is now In a serious, IL not
an incurable, condition.
The only safe way is to study the human
body and become familiar with the laws
upon which health, happiness and life de-
pend. Prevent pains, woe and sickness by
avoiding their causes

ton into quality and price on both sides OF
the Atlantic i deliberately state 1t as my
belief that for furniture of equal quality In
every respect the cost in Great Britain
would be more than double what 1t is here.
The Lengthy Menus.
Then there is the lavishness in food. The
bill of fare in any of your large hotels Is
enough to stagger any European. But it
does not startle any of you. How you do
eat, to be sure! Adown that bewildering
maze of fruit, soups, fish, fowl, flesh and
sweets you roam, philosophically absorbing,
with the aid of copiouS draughtS of iced
water, sufficient food at one meal to last
the average slow-moving EngliShman two
days. Perhaps the explanation of this
voracity is to be found in the beforemen-
toned fact of your living at high pressure,
whether 1t be of brain or muscle. Food
must be needed in great quantities to repair
the waste, and you take 1t with an enviable
result. 1t must be the main reason of YOUR
superb stamina, and account, too. partly IL
not wholly, for the strange fact tnat of
every dozen persons one meets on the street
anywhere eleven give you flittering smile
by reason of their teeth having been filled
with gold at almost fabulous cost. Because
hot bread and ice-cold water, to say moth
ing of all manner of strangely indigestible
dishes at short intervals, play havoc with
the teeth and have made American dem
tistry household word for skill and costli-
ness.
Lavishness In religious matters, also. But
here the business instintc shines brightly,
in that there is nothing unusual in con-
structing an edifice for spiritual purposes
at a cost to make British nonconformists
stare and gasp, yet getting the outlay back
by letting off large portion of the building
(which has been erected with a view to that
end) for purely secular purposes. thus MAX
ing to yourselves friends of the mammon of
unrighteousness and making him contribute
lavishly toward the support Of excellent
causes with which he has no sympathy
whatever
Frankly, in conclusion, and while / recog-
nize that it needs almost complete mental
and physical regeneration to enable an
Englishman of middle age to enjoy life in
big American city, must admit that / see
nothing at all to hinder the great republic
from running the earth unless 1t undergoes
a rapid dry rot, a sudden descent into in
aptitude. And that does not seem at all
probable. You know how to work, and you
know how to rest. You scoop in your
money by bucketfuls, and you spend 1t roy
ally, recognizing that there is as much
pleasure in spending as in getting. May
you never forget that not only vim, push
and observation-disclosures, but righteousness is
required to exalt nation.
