Please tell me the cause and the remedy.
Answer-Iampers is a swelling of the
bars in the roof of the mouth just above
and back OF the upper teeth caused by
deranged stomach. Take a pocket knife
and cut the first two bars until they

piece of fat meat and pour in about one

NEWS OF THE WATERFRONT.
BEVERLEY KIDD
IS SHIPWRECKED

r. Beverley Kidd, the all round ath-
lete. swimmer. diver and frequenter OF
the waterfront. had an exciting expert
ence on Wednesday evening Off Wal
kiki, where he has his summer home.
Mr. Kidd owns or rents a dinky little
boat of the shape of a mango. He has
been accustomed 70 taking his daily
exercise every evening by padding
about near the shore.
on Wednesday, moved by the spirit
of adventure and exploration. he ven
tured farther out than was his wont
and dallied about in the foaming
breakers. He had but one oar. which
he used for sculling. AS it happened,
a strong wind began blowing off shore.
and when he essayed to return incl
dents began to pile up which frighten-
ed the doughty fresh-water salt.
His pear-shaped boat swung this way
and that in the breakers as they rolled
and piled up over the reef. For an
hour matters went thusly, until it oc-
CURED to Kidd that there was an easier
way out OF the difficulty. He jumped
from the boat into the briny. despite
the fact that he was fully. and as US
ual. Immediately attired, and finding
the water about two or three feet deep.
after n deal OF wading, was soon on

Next to the French bark olivier de
Clisson. which lately arrived here after
a remarkably long passage of 225 days

the most talked of overdue for many
months past. but reinsurance was
fore the report OF her speaking had
been received. The rate had heen twice
as high. and had fiuctuated between 10
and so per cent ever since the ship has
placed on the overdue list. This was
not long after she sailed from Fraser
river in the first week OF December
last. for London. with a cargo OF sal

passed TO sea from Puget Sound a sue
cession OF great gales ragged on the
northern coast. carrying down the col
lier hatteawan and the sloop-of-war
Condor. and the discovery OF boxes OF
salmon on the Vancouver coast soon
afterwards gave rise to the belief that
the ship had been swallowed up. But
the Red Rock. IL appears. rode the gale
safely. The vessel Is now out 159 days
and should arrive at London at any
time. The case OF the Red Rock is
almost exactly similar to that OF the
Ardnamurchan year ago. the finding

A stranger lost in a large city would

like himself. This Is a natural conse-
quence of experience; it's like a ship
in n strange port-a trusty pilot fami-
liar with the harbor is always called
upon to bring her safely to her moor
ings. So il is with endorsement; we
doubt the sayings of people living at a
distant point because we can't investi-
gate but public expression of local
citizens can be depended upon, for tits
an easy matter to prove it. Evidence
like the following is beyond dispute:-
Mr.. w. F. Williams of this city. is

position for the last 80 years. He says:

The question of Cuban reciprocity
is still causing considerable concern
to the President and his supporters
in the Senate, and on its termination
undoubtedly hangs the date OF the
adjournment of this session OF
Congress. The beet sugar senators
persist in their opposition, Last
week there was circulated rumor
that the President had intimated to
Senator Cullom that he would be
satisfied with bounty paid to the
Cubans out of the treasury, but
Senator Cullom says the President
has not changed his views in the
least degree since he sent his first
message to Congress. From another
source it is learned that within a
week President Roosevelt has as
serted that If Congress adjourns
without action on this question he
will call special session. Such
action, it is freely conceded, would
be mistake from political stand
point, but those who know the Pres
ident best appreciate that II he has
conceived such a course to be his
duty, no consideration OF his own
political success will deter him.

AS If to confirm the wisdom OF the
Senate in passing the Lodge bill,
providing for the further extern
sion OF civil government in the
Philippines, a report has just reached
Secretary Root from Luke Wright,
acting governor OF the Philippine
Islands, and democrat, stating that
the instruction in the islands is
practically at an end, and that there
lis now no obstacle to the extension
of civil government to all of the arch
ipelago, aside from the Moro country.
Governor Wright advises that in some
provinces the army be retained in
control until the crops mature in
August, for the reason that, because
of the perfect organization of the
military branch, assistance may be
more readily extended to the natives
until such time as they receive the
results of their agricultural labors.
Secretary Root has issued general
order by which the permanent mill
tary establishment of the government
is to be reduced to $4,000 men,
reduction of 10000. In the light of
these facts, the contentious of the
democratic partizans appear particu-
larry ridiculous. The Philippine bill,
carried by vote of As to
30, Senators Wellington, Hoar and
Mason being the only republicans to
vote against it.
