The barbette for the United States battleship Iowa was completed last week, It is the largest ever manufac- tured in America, and has been more than a year under construction. It consists of nine plates, each weighing 95,000 pounds, in addition to a Large tur- ret. The plates are fifteen inches thick and 220 inches wide. The barbette is to be shipped to Philadelphia, where the Iowa is building, on a train of cars built for the purpose. There will be a great decrease in the production' of hops in Oregon and Wash- ington this year. The hop industry in trevious years has been one of the rgest in these states, but overproduc- tion has brought the price down to an unprofitable figure, and hi the last year or two insect pests have caused great loss to the growers. A. great many hop fields in various parts of the two States. have been ploughed up, and it is re- ported that this spring more will be turned under, Commercial telegrams from New York as to the business situation in the Unit- ed States are not at all of a satisfactory rature, and this is particularly notice- able in what they leave unsaid Ex- cept in the steel and iron industries prices are usually again lower; at pre- sent there is a light demand for all kinds of iron, but we are told that inlarge structural business 18 expected the spring," while there is ' hope- fulness" as to extensive railway orders, as railroad earnings continue to bn- prove.

Nixie, said he was grieved because of the Italian reverses in Abyssinia, and feared that if Italy's present adven- turous polioy was continued it might cost her the loss of her constitutional unity. s ,The correspondent of the London Times at Caracas, Venezuela, reports that a private despatch has been re- ceived from Curecoa, saying that the authorities there are advised that a British squadron of five ships will short- ly arrive at that port. It is 'probable that, as a result of her defeat in Abyssinia and her bankrupt condition, Italy will drop out ot the triple alliance, and thata new combina- tion will become necessary. Austria. is very anxious to have Great Britain form a European alliance. The Czar has delighted all classes of Russians by commanding that for the future all petitions shall be presented to him personally, The aide-de-camp on duty will accept them from the peti- tioners and place them before the mon- arch without delay.

He cannot be imprisoned while the ses- sion lasts, marl as he expects to leave for a visit to England before the body adjourns he will not be placed behind bars for some time. The general opinion in Spain, as ex- pressed by the press and the public, is one of indignation at the resolutions passed by the United State Congress granting the rights of belligerency to the de- sire to resistors lob meddlesome rinter- ference to the utteeinost. A• despatch to the New York Herald from Caracas, Venezuela, says: -Vene- zuela has refused the demand of Great Britain that the Yuruan incident be re- garded as a distinct issue, and that re- paration be, made and an indemnity paid. The Government declares that to grant England's demand would be a virtual recognition of British rights in the territory in dispute between the two nations. It also declares that the whole issue must await the result of arbitration. Officials again express fear that England will try to enforce pay- ment of damages.

The workmen were taught originally by experts. brought from America. It appears Hutt the Japanese Maria such things much MORE RAPIDLY and have a more delicate touch than other people. It Is asserted that the Japanese aro not an original people; that they are only imitators; that they got their art from Corea, their industry from China, and their civilization from Europe. Whether this is so or not the ingenuity of the Jap is astonishing. He can re- produce anything that he has ever seen. Give him a piece or complicated mechanism, such as a watch or an elec- trical apparatus, and he will reproduce it exactly and set It running without instructions. He can imitate any Pro- cess or copy any design more accur- ately than anybody else. The Japanese are already beginning to make their own machinery, and in a few years they will be independent of foreign nations in that respect. They will buy only one outfit of a given sort of machinery, Having purchased one set, they copy it and supply all future demands for themselves, 'There is no protection for foreign patents in Japan, and any instrument or machine that comes into the country may be manu- factured without interference or the payment of royalty.

Yet it was only twenty- eight Years ago that the first labor- saving machine was set up within the limits of the Empire. Formerly all the manufacturing of Japan was done in the households, and 90 per cent. of the skilled labor is still performed in the bomes of the people, The finest brocades, the choicest silks, the most artistic porcelain, cioisonne and lacquer work axe done under the roofs of hum- ble cottages. The ancient system of household labor is being rapidly overturned by the intro- duction of modern methods and machin- ery. To this revolution the older art- isans are offering a vain resistance. The first manufactory established in Japan was a cotton mill in the province of Satsuma. Prince Shimazu was its pa- tron. Having learned something of modern arts and sciences, be started a laboratory on his estates, in which he learned telegraphy, photography, and how to make glass, coke and •illu- minating gas, Ile also made guns and experimented with explosives. The Prince got hold of a book that described the Arkwright spinning jenny, and was so fascinated vvith it that he sent to England for machines, and even- tually established a plant of 3,000 spindles. An English engineer came over to set up the machine and educate the workmen. The Prince treated him like an equal, surrounded him with lux- uries of every kind and paid him a handsome salary. As the enterprise was not intended for profit, but for. he au p the the art of s P g,amore g people, everything was conducted on an elaborate and ex- pensive scale, and the yarns produced were of superior quality. The notable sobriety of the Japanese is attributed to the general use of tea instead of alcohol. The drinking of beer however, is increasing so rapidly in the Japanese Empire as to excite apprehen- sion, There are breweries an nearly every city of any size, and beer can be bought at nearly every tea house. Why Ordinary Light Is Injurious in SmallpoX Gases. It has been demonstrated by many investigators that luminous vibrations of short wave -length are capable of pro- ducing an inflammation of the skin, It is therefore easy to understand that such actinic rays increase an inflam- mation already existing, as in the case of smallpox. With a view to remedy- ing this source of trouble, Dr. N. R. Finsen, of Copenhagen, has been making experiments in the keeping of small- pox liatlents in non-actinao light. He finds that the skin during smallpox is as susceptible to daylight as a photo, graphic plate, and meat be kept from the chenneal rays in the seine way and almost as carotully. Even a brief ex- posure to daylight may produce sup- puration with Oh attendant evils, lf, therefore, roe' window -glass is employed, it must be of it deep rest color, end if anrbains are used, they must be very thick or in several layers.

T'N IROUBLED • With Liver Compaint and Dyspepsia---Stlfereth . Greatly and Found No Relief in the Scores of Medicines Prescribed. South American Nervine \Vas Peco'ti tiieoded, and Before; Half a Bottle \Vas Tai;en Relief Came. Hnvo Since Improved Hapidly, and Anrllow Completely Cured— So ariys .lr. David Reid, of Chesney, Out. What ills come to humanity from a disordered liver: Henry Ward Beecher has said that It was impossible for a 111011 to hold correct spiritual views if. his liver was out of order. The liver is so important a part of the Meehan - ism of man that when it ceases to work with ease the whole man is unable to do his work aright, Can wenot appeal to thousands, nay, tens of thousands, for a verification of this fact? Cer- tainly It is, that Mr, David Reid, of Chestey, Ont., felt shat tete enjoyment of life had been taken from him, through the unhealthy condition of ills liver. For ten years he says he was troubled with liver complaint and dys- pepsia. Employing his eivn language: "At times me liver was so tender I could not bear it pressed or touched from 100 outside, Hatt tried a great many remedies without any benefit. Was comeelled to drop my work, and being worse than usual, .I decided as a final resort to try South American Nervine, whlrh had been reaomtnended to me by friends who had been cured by it, l got a bottle from A. 5. Cood- ove, uncal druggist, and commenced talism; rewording to directions, Before i had taken half it bottle I was able to 130 to work again, and 0 have in1- ureved etead:ly since. 1 can conseien- ttously recommend South American Nervine to any suffering from dyspep- sia or liver complaint" This is Mr.. Reed's story as he tells it in his own: words. Were it thought necessary in could be corroborated by a host of wit- nesses. Mr. Reid has lived a long time, in Chesney, and his ease was known to be a, very bad one. -But that makes no, difference to Nervine. This great dis- covery rises equal to the most trying, occasions. Let it be indigestion, the, most chrotde liver trouble, as with Mr. Reid, nervous prostration, that makes life miserable with so many, stele headaches, that sap all the effort cut of man or woman, Nervine measures to the necessities of the case. ht 1s ta. great medicine and thousands to -day in Canada are happier and healthier men and women, because of its discovery. There is no great secret about it, and. Yet there i9 an important secret. et operates on the nerve centers of the system from which emanate all life and healthfulness, or of disordered, sickness. ev50 death. Nervine strikes promptly at the nerve centers, hence, as with Mr. Reid, where ten years' use of other me- dic -lees had done no good, less (;tan a. bottle of Nervine brought about en- couraging results, and a few bottles cured.
