Chinese Etaprena 1lewnger,
A despatch from Pekin, says! — The
numerous difficulties having been fin-
ally overcome, the Empress Dowager ote
Wednesday granted an audience to O.
wives of the foreign Ambassadors. Tho
ion ladies assembled at the British Lego -
tion and proceeded to the palace. At
an- the ehtrence to its preoinats a group
to of gorgeously arrayed mandarins met
them and escorted them to the great
hall, from 3thich the Chinese ladies
conducted them to an audience.
Ths Empress Dowager was seated
upon a dais decorated with °brysan-
themums and apple blosoms, with the
Emperor at her left hand.
Lady Claude Macdonald, wife of the
British Minister, as doyenneof the dip-
lomatie corps, read a speech in Eng-
lish, expressing her pleasure and that
of the other ladies at having au op-
portunity to tender their congratula-
tions to the Empress Dowager on her
birthday, and also expressing the
d hops that their steps aught bo follow -
at ed by the ladies of China.

Cheers. But this meant not only th
they must have ships, guns and are
but also strategic, harbours and nae
bases, dockyards and coaling stations
at home and abroad. It meant that
the army and navy must be assigned
their respective shares of responsibil-
ity for the protection of the outworks
of the Empire, which must be suitably
defended and garrisoned,
Unless such defsnees were provided
for them they would be in a preposter-
ous position. Successive Governments
had given their attention to these
matters, but there was no finality about
the guns. Comparing the modern
quick -firing 'guns with the twenty-
five year old muzzle -loading gun was
like opposing a boy with a catapult to
a burglar armed with a revolver,
OLD-FASHIONED GUNS.
He was sorry to say they had still a
large number of these old-fashioned
weapons in their most important for-
tresses. The navy as the firat line of
defence had precedence in this mat-
ter, but the time was come for vigor-
ously pushing forward the manufac-
ture of new guns for those land posi-
tions in which their superiority was
able to assert itself. He favoured this
policy for another reason. To what-
ever extent they substitute the new
guns for the old, they would require
a smaller number than they nolo had
mounted; and fewer guns required few-
er gunners. This would reduce their
quirements for fortress work, which
was never very popular, and would also
diminish the difficulty experienced in
expanding garrisons from peace to war
establishment. But they had no idea
of undertaking an indiscriminate re-
armament of all positions in whish guns
Warn now mounted. They were care-
fully revising the whole of their
schemes of defence before asking the
country to make the larger sacrifices
which would be necessary. They would
not make the mistake of considering
these as if they were artillery ques-
tions only.
A COSTLY EXPERIMENT.
They would determine the kind of
attack to whleh each position was li-
able, the extent to which the navy
might be relied upon to help them, the
armament most suitable to the position,
and whether they could without div
ficulty provide the necessary garrison.
They could not proceed too cautiously,
for new armament was an expensive
luxury. Whereas in 1.860 the average
cost of the gun was A2000, a 0.2 in gun
of the modern type costs between 411,-
000 and 0812,000. Saila, so far from
grudging the expense, the country
would severely condemn them if they
allowed the security of fortresses and
harbours to depond upon batteries so
badly armed that an enemy's ships
might bombard them at a distance
which would render it impossible to
reply with* effect, Cheers. The Gov-
ernment bad not let a year pass with-

MR. FRANK EAUER, BERLIN, OWL
Perhaps you know him i In Water-
loo he is known as one of the most
popular and succesafulbusiness men of
that enterprising town. As manag-
ing executor of the Kuntz estate, he is
at the head of a vast business, repre-
senting an investment of many thous-
ands of dollars, and known to many
people throughout the Province,
Solid finanoially, Mr. Frank Bauer
also has the good fortune of enjoying
solid good health, and if appearances
indicate anything, it is safe to predict
that there's a full half century of
active life still ahead for him. But
it's only a few months since, while
nursed as an invalid at the Mt,
Clemens sanitary resort, when his
friends in Waterloo were dismayed
with a report that he was at the point
of death
11 There's no telling where I would
have been had I kept on the old treat-

indeacribable tortures. I began with

flesh and strength rapidly. My
stomach refused to retain food of any

under medical treatment, and took
everything prescribed, but without

somewhat similar to mine, by the
Great South American Nervine Tonic,
and I finally tried that. On thefirst
day of its use I began to feel that it
was doing what no other medicine
had done• The first dose relieved the
distress completely. Before night I
actually felt hungry and ate with an
appetite such as I had not known for
months, I began to pick up in
strength with surprising rapidity,
slept well nights, and before I knew
it I was eating three square meals
regularly every day, with as much.
relish as ever. I have no hesitation
whatever in saying that the South
American Nervino Tonic cured me
when all other remedies failed. I
have recovered my old weight—over
200 pounds—and never felt better
in my life,"
