keep a still larger supply of munitions of war on hand
 But while the general defenses of the station of Esquimalt have been strengthened, the size of the British fleet there has been reduced, so that now, besides the flagship Grafton which boat is first class cruiser-only two second class cruisers and two steam launches for use of engineers are stationed there. In consequence of this reduction. when the term of the admiral expired in December. an officer of equal rank was not ap- pointed to take his place. Instead a commodore was appointed as his sue eessor, and he assumed charge of tke station when the admiral vacated.
 But while the fleet has been reduced in size, the strength of the station has been increased, as We have already said, and new guns installed. A de scrption of those guns will prove in teresting. They are large 9.2 guns. weighing, with their equipment. 90 tons each. These cannon arrived from Eng land in the fall of last year and were placed in position upon the top of Sig nal hill, which commands the whole harbor. These guns are said to throw a 3S0-pound projectile five miles, and with an elevation of 15 feet they have a range of seven miles. The guns are said to have cost s26, 900 each They throw the projeetie from the muzsle at the rate of z,347 feet per second
 
 wrought iron at range of 5000 yards. In addition to these heavy guns bat tery of quick-firing guns is being ia- stalled in the navy yard, and these also cover the entrance to the harbor.

To Thaw Frozen EggS.

Quite by accident We discovered a method of thawing frozen eggs. Wrap them in several thicknesses of cloth loosely wrung out of cold water, or en- tirely surround them with thoroughly wet straw. If cloth or staw dries too rapidly. sprinkle with cold water. The covering will absorb the frost from the eggs and leave them in such condition that when broken they cannot be told from an unfrozen egg. Those who have tried thawing egg in cold water only and find the yolks hard and much water in shell will welcome this. Let the thaw- ing process be slow and thorough and you will find you can whip the whites of the eggs if desired.-Orange Judd Farmer

As was the case with me, they will be more than surprised with the results. have been troubled for years with my spine. 1 could not lie on either side Spinal cramps would follow, and words could not explain the agony which l would endure. While in these cramps l could not speak or move. but by making great effort after the cramp had left me I could begin to speak and move a little. but my whole back was so sore and lame that l could not even have my back bathed for some time. My nerves were in a terrible state. l would rather sit up at night than go to bed. dreading the cramps and the terrible backachea. I consulted physi- clans, but got only little relief for the time being. Seeing your advertisement, my mother urged me to try Doan s Kidney Pills. After using one box was better. and have ever since been on the gain. l have no backache and no cramps now, and I feel like a new person. My nerves are better and l know my blood is purer. Words can not express my thanks to you for what Doan's Kidney Pills have done for me. In my work as professional nurse have a chance to recommend them; and they did me so much good that l will do so on every possible occasion. HATTIE BRIGHAM, Nurse.

two ago tells an amusing incident of two versation One was fresh from the homeland and the other was a resident of the states. One saw everything that was British through a magnifying glass and stamped with a great big B and a roaring lion, the other had seen some of Uncle Sans big guns and knew that Johnny Bull did not have q monopoly on the big iron machines for belching forth steel in carload lots at the rate Of 40 miles a minute and fast CT. The one felt like Eragging, the oth- CT knew that Esquimalt with her big guns and little and her dry dock could be dropped down in one corner of some of the Notifications of the States with out crowding her American cousin or exciting envy or alarm.
 Mir. Scotchman with the magnifying glass found great satisfaction in tell ing what Esquimalt's big guns could do in even of war, and he had the Amer iean navy to it's last ship sunk in the deep sea outside the harbor entrance, while the American army was in wild retreat towards Washington. But Mir. Seotehman from the States, with a good nature which comes from conf denee of ones position. invited his friend to come across the border and see the real thing in the way of can non. But as far as we know he has stubbornly refused to come and is still busy bragging about what Esquimalt's s big guns would do in case of war.

Acute eatarrh of the stomach does not differ from the same condition when affecting mucous membranes in other situations, as the mouth or nose. It is not a true inflammation. says the American Queen, but merely a conges- tion of the blood vessels lying near the surface, accompanied by a greatly in- creased secretion of mucus and marked tenderness. Catarrh may spread from the noes to the throat, and from the throat to the stomach. This is a rare cause. More frequently stomach catarrh takes origin from some irritation, as the ingestion of acid fruits, strong condi- ments. ices or iced drinks The condi- ton does not directly affect digestion. The gastric juice is ssecreted as in health. but digestion may be hindered by the large quantity of mucus secreted. This is in itself absolutely indigestible and impedes the free permeation of the food by the digestive juice.
 That pain occurs after eating is no evidence in favor of indigestion obtain- ing. The pain results from pressure of the food on the tender lining membrane of the stomach. If when the stomach is empty. the tenderness is still felt it is safe to diagnose the case as one of ca- tarrh. On the other hand, the persis- tence of true pain would point to some form of inflammation.
 It is always necessary to make due all lowance for the effect wrought by irri- tants Highly spiced dishes taken into catarrhal stomach may give rise to pain that lasts long after the food has been di- gested. There is one consideration of great importance in connection with the liability of catarrh to spread from the throat to the stomach. This is the evil of not expectorating the mucus secreted in the throat. Some children have hor- rible habit of swallowing that which has been coughed up. The practice is dan gerous. To expectorate on the ground is disgusting The cleanly use of hand- kerchief would satisfy all needs

THE season of catching cold is upon

THE season of catching cold is upon ] us. The cough and the sneeze and
 nasal twang are to be heard on every hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the most common and dreadful of diseases, is a cold.
 This is the way the chronic catarrh generally begins. A person catches cold, which hangs on longer than usual. The cold generally starts in the head and throat. Thenfollows sensitivenes ss Of the air passages which incline one to catch cold .ery easily. At last the person has a cold all the while seemingly, more or less discharge from the nose. hawking, splitting frequent clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped mp, full feeling in the head and sore, infiamed throat.
 The best time to treat catarrh is at the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna properly used never fails to cure com mon cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
 While many people have been cured of chronic catarrh by single bottle of Peruna. yet, as d rule, when the eatarrh becomes thoroughly fixed, more than one bottle is necessary to complete n cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer- able of catarrh of twenty years stand ing. It is the best. if not the only internal remedy for chronic catarrh in existence.
 Butprevention is far better than cure. Every person subject to catching cold should take Peruna at once at the slightest symptom of cold or sore throat at this season of the year and thus prevent what is almost certain tc end in chronic catarrh.
