2 HEUMATISM
MOT a sskGzM DISEASE.

It is natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when rheumatic
pains are shooting through the joints and muscles and they are
inhamed and sore, the sufferer is apt to turn to lininents and plasters
for relief; and while such treatment may quiet the pain temporarily,
no amount of rubbing or blistering can cure Rheumatism, because it
is not a skin disease, but is in the blood and all through the system,
and every time you are exposed to the same conditions that caused
the first attack, you are going to have another, and Rheumatism
will last just as long as the poison is in the blood, no matter what
you apply externally. Too much acid in the blood is one cause of
Rheumatism; stomach troubles, bad digestion, weak kidneys and

Rheumatism, and of all forms
this is the most stubborn and

GUN-MAKING IN CHINA.
Every Form of Munition of War, fron Rides to Heavy Artillery,
 Made by Natives.

A correspondent of the Lahore Civil and Military Gazette visited one of the Chinese arsenals and thus put down his impressions: Finally we were taken, among other places. to the great Chi nese arsenal some way beyond treaty limits, where every form of intuition of war, from rifles to 45-ton guns, was be- ing made. We wandered through a wilderness of factories, covering acre. of ground, and were shown the whole process of manufacture. And there were powder factories and other insti. .utions not far away which we had no time to visit. That was, perhaps, tho most significant experience of all. You may have seen gun factories before, but have you seen a place turning out great guns by the dozen, and machine guns by the hundred, perfect in design and construction. run. from coolie to head mandarin, entirely by Chinese, and with only a couple of Englishmen en- gagged solely in consultative supervision? Have you seen a roomful of Chinese draughtsmen and designers fin pigtails and blue gowns solemnly, stolidly and assiduously getting out the drawings foy new gun? It is sight that furnishes food for thought. And as you leave you ask yourself the question: If thes. men can make guns. why may they DO, work them some day!'"

Cuban Cave-Fishes,

An interesting addition has re. gently been made to the Natural History museum, South Kensing. ten, London, by the receipt of specimens of some of the blind cavefishes of Cuba. The special interest of these fishes lies in the fact that their alliance is with saltwater forms which exist in the neighboring sea, and not with fresh-water fishes, as is the case with Amblyopsis and it's allies of the great cave of Kentucky. There can be little doubt that the Cuban caves in which the blind fishes are found were formerly ill communication with the sea, and that the ancestors of these fishes entered the caves from the adia. cent ocean.
