CAMP FOR CoNsuMPTIvEs.

A dispatch from Pensacola to the
Florida Times Union says: The Navy
Department is now preparing a camp
near the navy yard for the treatment
of consumptives in the navy. Tents
are being erected, and the patients
sent here by the department will be
kept in the open air as much as pos
sible, and sleep in the tents at night.
Surgeon General RiXey states that he
intends to give the place a thorough
test, and if it proves beneficial will
enlarge the grounds and make perma-
nent place for the treatment of the
disease. The attention of the depart
ment was called to the place by sew
eral remarkable cures effected here
when officers were sent here for duty
afflicted with tuberculosis, and who re-
covered rapidly and are now well men.
Two or three officers now on duty here
have been cured in this manner,

Truant ChiIdren's Tricks
From the Philadelphia Record.


One of the city's truant officers was
talking about malingering in school
children. 1T is a common thing" he
said, land 1 guess it will always be a
common thing. For my part, when
was a hoy, l pretended two or three
times every year that 1 had a head
ache or a toothache when 1 hadn't and
loafed about the house all day instead
of going to school. l guess you and
every other man did the same thing
in your childhood, too. Such simple
malingering as that l meet with often,
but now and then I meet with cases of
a complicated, serious kind. Last
spring a boy rubbed poison ivy over
his face. poisoning himself horribly,
so as to escape school for while. An
other boy the winter before, hit his
foot with an ak for the same purpose.
but the AK came down harder than he
had intended, and the boy just es-
capped limping for life. A little girl
was laid UP for a week through TAX
ing an overdose of castor oil. She con-
fessed that she wanted to make her
self sick for a day, so as to escape an
examination that she knew she would
fail in, but she didn't know the amount
of castor oil to take. and it was only
by luck that she didn't put herself to
death.

RECTOR OF ST. LUKE's,
Ashburnham, Ontario. Testities to
the Good Qualities of Chamber
lain's Couoh Remedy.

Ashburnham, Ont, April is, 1908
I think It is only right that should
tell you what a wonderful effect
Chamberlain Cough Remedy has
produced. The day before Easter
was so distressed with cold and
cough that I did not think to be able
to take any duties the next day as
my voice was almost chOked by the
cough. The same day I received an
order from you for a bottle of your
Cough Remedy. I at once procured a
sample bottle. and took about three
doses of the medicine. To my great
relief the cough and cold had com
pletely disappeared and I was able
10 preach three times on Easter day.
I know that this rapid and effective
cure was due to your Cough Remedy.
I make this testimonial without solicit
tation, being thankful to have found
such a God-sent remedy Respect
fully yours,
r. A. LANGFELDT, M. A,
Rector of St Luke's Church.

! Foster that she was in Rome; her
heart was every day and every hour
| in the city she had left She grew
| i'll as the Countess de Sails grew well,
| and soon the invalid and the nurse
| changed places. Miss Foster sank
| slowly until only one thing could save
| her, and two courses were open to the
| Countess de Sails. Either she could
keep her promise to her parents and
let her sister die, or she could break
her promise and bring Miss Foster back
TO health. She broke her solemn word,
the young Count was summoned to
Miss Fosters side, the wedding day was
fixed, the bride was at the altar, but
the bridegroom was not there. Miss
Foster never saw him again.
The time came when there was a
famine among the peasants OF Italy.
Thousands persisted of starvation and
disease. Panic-stricken priests left
their flocks, and the poor We're left to
die. In that sad time one young bish-
op stood by his people, came back from
Switzerland to be among them. sold
his books, his carriages. and the epis-
copal ring he wore, and distinguished
himself by his sacrifice and devotion
when nearly all who could were seek
ing safety and comfort elsewhere.
When the famine passed away, the
young Bishop of Imola was made first
Archbishop Of Spoloto and a cardinal.
Pope Gregory XVI. lay dying, and
not a soul in the capital of the Popes
knew who would next rule over Rome.
In the streets of the Eternal City a
carriage passed by the French ambas-
sador bearing the cardinal who had
been Rishop of Imola, the bishop whose
name had rung through Italy when the
peasants died for lack of bread. The
ambassador was the most powerful
man in Rome. and when he determined
as he saw the cardinal in his carriage,
that the young bishop should be Pope,
the election was but nominal thing
Cardinal Ferretti became Plus TX. and
on the day he was raised to his throne
it was made known to Miss Foster that
the new Pope was the count for whom
she had waited at the altar!
He had been appointed to a Jesuit
mission, from which no member of his
church could shrink: his letters had
been intercepted by his friends and
he had been persuaded, by those who
valued his services to the church, to
believe that Miss Foster had ceased to
love him. There is still living lady,
bearing a high place in society, who
heard the story from the lips of Miss
Fosters sister, and the facts were told
by DR.. Hawtrey, the provost of Elton,
to Mr.. Augustus Hare, in whose dia-
ries they are set down. Recollect. "
said DR.. Hawtrey, that is no mere
story l have heard; it is part Of my
own life. Nine. de Sails and her sis
ter were my relations, and l was most
intimate with them. I was there when
Nine. de Sails made her miserable
marriage: 1 was there when she came
back so terribly changed. 1 shared in
the consultations as to whether her sis
ter should go with her. 1 was with DR..
and Mrs. Foster when they received
the letter about Count Mastai: l was
there when they heard of the disap-
pearance of the mysterious bridegroom;
and 1 have lived to think of him as
Pope"

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of Ships
and Shipping.

Several bills of extreme interest TO
ship owners and builders were intro
duced in the Senate by Senator Frye
of Maine, chairman of the Committee
on Commerce. One of these has the
Endorsement of the President and the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor. 1t
provides, in short, that commerce be-
tween the United States and the Phil
ippne Islands shall be carried on in
United States vessels after July l, 1904.
Another bill introduced by Mr.. Frye
proposes to amend Section 1907 OF the
Revised Statutes so that when goods
or men are transported by sea they
shall be sent in American vessels ire
spective of whether they are the low
est bidders or not.
In order to prevent determinations
against American shipping in the
coastwise trade of the United States,
Mr.. Frye has introduced a bill to pre-
vent states and municipalities from re-
quiring licenses from pilots when they
are already provided with licenses from
the United States.
In order to insure that the paths of
ocean going vessels shall be kept free
from dangerous wrecks and derelicts
another bill introduced by Mr.. Frye
provides that the President may detail
any public vessel for the purpose of
removing such derelicts.
Still another measure offered from
the same source requires that in the
transportation of all kinds of supplies
for the army or navy it shall be obi
Gatory to employ vessels of the United
States unless. under exceptional cir
cumstances, the Secretary of the Navy
should suggest otherwise.
In order to save sail vessels from
ruin a conference of owners was held
at Paris to discuss measures which
should be adopted to remedy the sit
uation. Participating were representa-
tives of the United States, Great Brit
ain, France, Germany and other ma
tions. Two important proposals were
under discussion. one being a limita-
ton of the number of sailing ships and
the other uniform rates, based on the
Liverpool conference of Nov. 4. The
British representatives suggested the
appointment of brokers by each coun-
try to look after freghts for the ships
of their respective countries. The con-
ference was the result of the general
decline in freights, especially between
Europe and Pacific coast of the United
States, which has fallen off one-half.
1t is hoped that the result of the con-
ference will be to abolish competition.
The steamships st. Hugo, due Jan.
10 for Liverpool, and the Harbarton,
due Jan. l, to load for Liverpool, have
been posted at the Cotton Exchange
by A. F. Churchill. The steamship
Ockenfels. due Dec. II, to load for
Bremen and Hamburg. has been post
ed by Williamson & Rauers.
