PERILS OF TASTY RISING.

The warning of Dr Savary of Paris against sudden rising will strike a sympathetic chord in every sluggard But is there not common sense in his statement that "the strenuous business man who bolts out of bed to his bathtub the moment he opens his eyes renders himself liable to a number of ailments? Among these ailments Dr Savary includes madness which is a question over which alien- ists may bubble.
 Sudden rising when the house is on fire is credited with the cure of rheumatism of long standing. Even the dumb have spoken on such occa- sions. These exceptions no doubt merely prove the rule. The main proposition seems sound, that the sudden flashing of the faculties into activity at the moment of waking, by means of physical effort and a cold bath, is conducive to the very evil re- suits which are sought to be avoided.
 The disposition of modern medical science to hark back to the natural instincts as safe guides is one of the evidences of sane medical progress. The doctors of a former day who cup ped, leeched, purged and starved pa- tients would view with amazement the more catholic methods of enlight- ened practice. Following the decreas- ing reliance on drugs as sovereign remedies, attention is being paid to the correction of errors of hygiene. Dieting on starvation lines is done away with. Even the fetish of cold water is under suspicion. In this di- rection of saving common sense is the recognition of the virtue of the de- sire nature has planted in every hu- man breast to lie abed as late as pos Cihla

will recall the session OF parliament
which dealt with the last British
naval budget, the largest in the his
tory of the nation. Emperor William
of Germany, it was reported at the
time, addressed personal communi-
cation to Lord Tweedmouth, who had
charge of the naval end of England's
welfare, asking the latter to cut his
naval budget. This story was not de-
MED, but talk of It was so avoided by
officials that the British public today
believe that the letter actually was re-
ceived 1t aroused criticism from all
Britain. 1t is said that the kaiser
realized that the two biggest nations
of the old world must keep pace with
each other in this line, and perhaps
feeling that a large expenditure by
Germany was not advisable, realized
that the only avenue of exit from such
a possibility was to see the British
budget reduced.
President Roosevelt's feelings on the
matter we're amply told In the record
of the last congress when he tried to
get that august body to appropriate
for four new warships. However, there
there were too many men of peaceful
and public buildings inclinations
among the wearers of the toga and
they dealt solar plexus blow to the
project, from which 1t only half re-
covered-to the extent of two war
ships. Both of these vessels have
already been launched.
With Japan, the little terror Of the
far east. furnishing up its navy, the
probabilities are that the powers may
go even farther next year in expendi-
lures for warships, and the only block
to the great amount expended seems
to be the devising of some new mode

ment instead of building new ships,
the ornaments of the old will be

Instead of IA siX-inch, so that their

a Thoroughly homogeneous fighting

"First-class cruisers are TO be added

elapsed and big nations fought from
