Facts
Please Read Them
We respectfully ask your careful
attention to this statement, brief but
important, and which we will divide
into three parts, viz
r, THE SITUATION; 2, THE NECES-
SITY; 3 THE REMEDY.
1st. The Situation
Health depends upon the state of the
blood. The blood conveys every
element which goes to make up alt the
organs of the body, and it carries away
all waste or dissolved and useless
material. Every bone, muscle, nerve
and tissue lives upon what the blood
feeds to it. Moreover, every beating of
the heart, every drawing of the breath,
every thought flashing through the
brain, needs a supply of pure blood, to
be done rightly and well.
2d. The Necessity
The human race as a whole is in
great need of a good. blood purifier.
There are about 2400 disorders incident
to the human frame, the large majority
arising from the impure or poisonous
condition of the blood. Very few in-
dividuals enjoy perfect health, and
fewer still have perfectly pure blood.
Scrofula, a disease as old as antiquity,
has been inherited by generation after
generation, and manifests itself today
virulent and virtually unchanged from
its ancient forms. If we are so fortu-
nate as to eacape hereditary impurities
in the blood, we may contract disease
from germs in the air we breathe, the
food we eat, or the water we drink.
3d. The Remedy
In Hood's Sarsaparilla is found the
medicine for all blood diseases. Its
remarkable cures are its loudest praise.
No remedy has ever had so great suc-
cess, no medicine was ever accorded so
great public patronage. Scrofula in its
severest forrns has yielded to its potent
powers, blood poisoning and salt rheum
and many'other diseases have been t
permanently cured by it. If you want
statements of cures, write to us. - If i

BRITISH NAVAL NEWS.
Mr. Henry Williams, Chief Inspector of
Machinery 1n the Royal Navy, contributes
to the April United (Service Nagarine at,
article on the "Coal Endurance of British
War Ships." His suggestions group to-
gether the solutions of e. number of problems
that confront the navy of the United States
almost as formidably as that of England.
Mr. Williams sums up with the following
solutions for easing the coaling difficulties :
(1) By adding to the number of coaling
stations where likely to be most wanted, so
that a fleet of war ships cruising might have
at no great distauce a base of operations for
the supply of coal. (2) By having in attend -
dance en every large fleet or squadron le
time of war one or two large ships, very fast,
and armed with light guns, which should be
capable of stowing several thousands of tons
of coal for the supply of the fleet, in addition
to that required for their own use. (3) By
furnishing every war ship not now so fitted
with a small amount of sail power, auxiliary
to the steaui power, capable of sending she'
ship along with a moderately fresh breeze
from two to four knots, (4) By attaching
to every fleet one or two powerful armed
omen fogs, which might assist ships falling
short of coal into the nearest coaling station
to replenish.
The suggestion of Lord Braseey that naval
oflicere should receive a moreprectleal train-'
lug inilotage is well worthy o
i0f the atten-
tion c�h Statesofficers.
t e United naval fit.o ers,
" pilotage,." says the Record, " is a very ha.
portant part of navigation, and it is only
of late yeara that the Admiralty has seeog
nized the necessity of offering to officers a
instruction therein, while the form that in
atruction has hitherto taken is of the mos
painfnily-theoretical character. The eoaca
of stut�y in pilotage lasts rather less than
three months, and consists, for the most
part, in learning by Heart a haze of figures
and other minute details conueeted with
the soundings end lights in the British
Manuel. .A11 that is required to qualify in
the examination that follows is a ,good nrenl-
ore, and any real qualifications for true
pilotage are at a diaeouutt. Lord Brassey
very sensibly proposes that the pilotage
course should be mach practical, and that
young oiilcetn should study the art in see-
g..irig vessels employed in the Channel, in -
Mail of setting our charts, books, and in-
et.- Ineuts as heretofore."
The defenses of Portsasouth, England,
which i. on o

stt'ongest of all the ports in the I,lriti-li

sisting chiefly of seven-inch and eight inch

spaces between the forts on " pivots '"fn the
Ilse of defense. In addition to these a quan-
tity of thirty-two-potuiders, fitted with
brcechloailing action, will be used to pro-
tect the gorges and flank flitches, firing case
shot. The second line of defense consists
of the lIilsea lines, and contains 2 i grins,
chiefly four -inch breechloaders, which are
very powerful weapons. All the ports on
the American toast put together, east and
west, have no such defenses us these.
Within tiro last week the British Navy
has seen the addition of a new twin-screw
cruiser, the Hawke, a protected Brasier of
the first eines, building since June, I8&9 The
principal dimension of the Hawke are :
Length, 360 feet ; breadth of beam, 60 feet;
displacement, 7,350 tons ; draught t?3e feet.
Her propelling power will be of 12,000
horses, and she is expected to realize a speed
at forced draught of 20 knots. For offensive
purposes she will mount an armament placed
broadside and fore and aft, consisting of a
pair of twenty -two -ton nine -and -ono -half•
inch guns for a dead -ahead. and astern fire,
with a battery of fire•tonsix-inch guns. She
will stow 80(1 tons of coal, and her crew will
consist of 520 officers and mien.

is built. rather for roominess than for speed,
having a capacity for forty fully equipped
men. Her lergth over all is 481, feet, with S
feet 9 inches beam and 2 feet 3 inches deep.
The accumulators are contained along the
sides under the seats and consist of 70 cells
giving 140 volts. The transformer is placed
under the stern. She is designed for a speed
of eight knots per hour, and will run from
ten to twelve hours without recharging the
accumulators. It is estimated that the cost,
of running this boat will not exceed that of
a steam launch of the same capacity.
Luxuries of Being Poor.
Moreover, brethern, we do you to wit of
the race of God bestowed on the churches
of Macedonia how that in a great trisl of
affliction the abundance of their joy and
their deep poverty abounded lute the riches
of their liberality. For to their power I
bear reeord, yea, and beyond their power,
they were willing of themselves ; praying ns
with much entreaty that we would receive
the gift and take upon us the fellowship of
the ministerings to the saints. And this
they did, not as we hoped, but first gave
their own selves to the Lord and onto us

l�ot once only, but many thrice, the epos.
tle Paul had occasion to beast of the ppracti-
eal generosity of his Christian Weide. A
large portion of the epistle to the Philippians
is engaged iu the grateful recognition of
many deeds of thoughtful Christian liberal-
ity. He tells how "once and again" they
bed ministered to his Wants, that his work
among the poorer cburehes of Asia Minor
might not lie deprived of his pratoral care.
And now he tells of a great harvest of liber-
ality that was garnered from the barren
fields of Macedonia. There are many re-
markable phrases in zhe New Testament,
and here is the one of them : " Their
deep poverty abounded to the riches
of their liberality." Poverty, nay, even deep
poverty, did not hinder the \lacedonians
being liberal. The measure of tbeirpoverty
was themeasure e
of the riches of their liber -
alit y'. The purse was well nigh empty, but
the hmart was (treat ; and when the heart
beats true and the mind is willing it is per-

could examine not only the figures but what

with the romance of giving. We should dia.

Emigration trospeots.
A cable dispatch says : The .Allan liner
Parisian, which sailed from Liverpo 1 on
Thursday, opens the emigration season. The
Parisian carries the finest body of emigrants
for Alberta, Assiniboia and Manitoba that
ever left this country, including well-to-do
farmers from the best agricultural districts
of England anti Scotland. The general emi-
gration prospects for the season, however,
are not very bright. Experts say that Cana-
da is feeling, and will for some time feel, the
effects of her recent laxity in promoting im-
migration, due to the agitation of the labor-
ing classes in Canada. The reports of the
British teneut farmers' delegates, who visit-
ed Canada last year, are being widely cir-
cu'ated, and are directing much attention to
Canada's wonderfulresourses. Unfortunately
his interest comes too late to greatly affect
thisseason's'emigration. TheBritish treasury
s expected to accede to the proposal of the
ornmons colonization committee, that £150,-
00 sterling be loaned to the province of
ritish Columbia at a low rate of interest
or the settlement of 1,250 Scotch crofters
in the San Juan district on Vancouver island.
The Secretary of State for Scotland is now
strongly urging NIr. Goschen to give an early
consent to the loan, in order that a pioneer
party may start this season. - It is suggested
that the North-west territories, Manitoba,
and perhaps some of the older colonies
should follow British Columbia's example in
this matter.

The Motion of Motherhood.
It is in the conservation of character that
woman retains herinherent talent of mother-
hood ; in that education which develops and
cultivates her natural faculties, instead of
substituting for these masculine, or, to speak
more truly, neuter attributes artificially
funned by the immaturity and dwarfing of
her womanhood. La our modern fashion we
do honour to her whom nature has endowed
with a lovely talent of singing, but we give
small credit to her who has ao keptholy and
watered with "the rain of deep feeling," in
this arid, dusty highway of civilization's
march, the sanctuary of nature that it shall
bring forth beautiful human blossoms. 'We
honour the Chist child, and the pure virgin
heart of the mother who bare Him. For 1900
years we have set before us as a model the
sacred life and teaching of theNazarene, but
we have been deaf to the teaching of the
Virgin -Mother, which is a marvellous mes-
sage to woman, putting before her the ideal
motherhood of the Rely Son. Some day I
do not doubt but that the function of
motherhood, which woman is sneeringly, in
modern parlance, said to possess "in conn -
mon with the cow," will be highly esteem-
ed and held to be immeasurably superior to
those small talents of tongue and hand which
are now considered as of so much greater
worth. Instead of being regarded as the
sign of her inferiority, the power of express-
ing the inherent beauty and wealth of her
nature by the bringing forth of a lovely
human typo will be a talent most coveted by
woman, and most honoured by man.

for an Ofrender Against the Society.
A despateh from Kufstein, it fortified town
of the Tyrol cn the Lin and near the Bavar
ran frontier, brings news of a murder by a,
Mafia conspirator, From the few detail
received from ire sef'na of flit+ tragetl , i
appears that a iell.kuown merchant of lief
stein, who was upon the point of entering a
railroad car at that place, was suddenly
confronted by an Italian, who plunged a
stiletto in the merchant's breast, killingllim
almost instantly,
The Italian, who turns out tobe workman
employed in the neighborhood, was prompt-
ly arreated, and from the investigation sub-
sequently made by the police authorities it
seems that the Italian was a member of the
Mate society, and that he had killed the
merchant in mistake for a compatriot whom
he had been detailed to kill for some real or
imaginary wrong done to the Mafi«, society,
and for which the prisoner's compatriot had
been condemned to death by one of the
Mafia's secret tribunals.
The murder of the merchant has created
considerable excitment,.and there is a feeling

The At
pox ]e Paul.
The dual nature in loan foetid a most re-
markable exa 1 pie in the ea -'e of the Apostle
Paul ; all of which is as distinctly apparent
in the Pauline epistles when the writer is
dealing with great moral qquestions, as when
he refers to hie own remarkable experience
In the seventh chapter of the Epistle to the
Romans. Paul speaks of a great moral con-
fiiet as distinct and real as though two Sepa-
rate personages lead engaged in it. The
spirit at war `kith flesh. " To will" in with
me and is easy, but "to do" is absent. .4nd
in contemplation of thesad and overmaster-
ing hindrances of the flesh, Paul, who had
oftentimes been changed to a living ruddier
during his experience as " a prisoner of the
Lord," speaks now of this fleshly ineunn-
brance as a dead body hindering the active
progress of the spirits "" Who shall deliver
me," he cries, "• from the body (gilds death?"
The personal experiences of Paul mark the
same signs of a dual existence. " I live, yet
not I," are words that might stand at the
head of many a paged the Pauli n e biography.
At this particular page espo^ially, which
the strange attitude of certain Corinthian
Christians has forced Patel, half out of self-
defense,toturn. Hereisastory of greatexal-
tation, face to face with marked humiliation.
Visions of the most exalted kind, and a thorn
in the flesh fall of constant irritating, humi-
liating power. What were these visions ?
Wo do not know. We need not care to in
quire into the details. Paul simply says they
were indescribable. " Unspeakable words!
Indescribable scenes !" But whatever they
were or wero not they wero exaltations from
the Lord. Unveilings of Christ. Visions
in which lie saw and learned more of Christ
than he had ever known before. Peter could
say in defense of hisapostolicauthority :
have not followed cunningly devised fables ;
I was with Him in the holy mount."
Aud Paul could say, and did say: "Ain 1
not an apostle? Have I not seen the Lord ?
Over against those glorious revelations we
have this " thorn in the flesh e, this constant
source of humiliation. How it must have
fretted the spirit of the man whose soul
seemed oftentimes to be all wings. Is not
this page of Paul's llietnry a reflex of all
true, deep, real life? Visions and thorns in-'
termingling. The exaltation tempering its
glory in the pangs of the thorn. The glitter
engloomed by the gathering clouds. So it
has ever been ; so it will ever be. The min-
istry of earth is a mingled ministry, one
only thing is ever true. All things work
together for good. Grace is sufficient. All
sufficient.

Courtship in l.'eru.
Peruvian young ladies harry at 14, and,
like their sisters in Canada, they look
with favorable eyes upoh a young man
who has 'wealth. If a young man sees a
girl who pleases him, he haunts the street
where she lives, and if he finds ber on the
balcony, where she spends half her time, he
raiseshis hat and bows to her.
If she smiles in return, he sees that his
advances are accepted and then he applies
to her father for an introduction. Even if
her father consents he never can meet the
young lady alone, but always in the presence
of the family.
If be invites her to a concert or a theatre
he must always invite her mother and all
the female members of the family. During
the courtship the couple are never left alone,
and frequentlyh

Every Peruvian must have a godmother
and a godfather who officiate at the baptism,

same persons may act in all the instances, or
an entirely different set may be elected.
The marriage must inevitably take place
in the church, and both parties must go to t
confession and partake of the communion.

Kangaroos in Ans ra:Lc
In some parts of Victoria they formerly
outnumbered the sheep as two to one, and
old shepherds have told me that- it was not
an uncommon thing to see the sheep and the
kangaroos feeding together upon the plains,
as many as 2,000 or 3,000 kangaroos fre-
quently accompanying a Rook of 1,000 sheep.

in 1850 could barely graze 5,000 sheep o .a
