Health or The Car. The report comes from Russia that the czar has developed symptoms of lung disease following his recent severe attack of in~ donors, and that on the advice of his phy- sician he has decided to reside for a long time a: less: a: Kied’, in the southwestern part of the empire. As removal has been cousiderel before, if he is menaced by con- sumption, the malady which now confines his eldest sci: to the Caucasus, the report may be accepted as true, residence in St. l’cters‘mirg, with its trying climate. and foundations in a. swamp, being certam to hasten the progress of disease. Tlicreis no good reason, moreover, why the change should not be made, the southward drift of the Russian people having brought the real forces of the empire nearer to Kicl‘f than to St. Petersburg, and the disappearance of Sweden as a strong power having largely nullified the reasons which prompted the location of the capital in northwestern Rus- sia; but the residence of the czar in filed for any considerable period must inevit- ably anulVe a change of capital as well, for the sovereign cannot live even for twenty years six hundred miles from the administrative centre, and the departâ€" ments, the foreign ambassadors and the governing man must, of course, go'to him. Equally of course they must reside in Kielf, andsomust build,procedure which will tend to make the czar’s residence permanent and create a new capital on the Diiieper, which, with its better location, should in time far surpass that on the Neva. Neither relig- ious nor historic sentiment would oppose the change, and the development. of the new capital could be so guarded and directed as to make it not only astately city, but,what St. I’eiersburg can never be, a pleasant and healthful one. But the effects of the trans- fer will, if made. go far beyond the mere development of one city at the expense of the other, in that the better climate must have a certain ameliorating efi'ect on the temperament of the czar, and that he will be brought into closer proximity to Europa and its influences. He is said to have in marked degree the tendency to gloom which is the heritage of his house, the de- pressing efl'ect of which on the temper is un- questionany accentuated by the miserable climate, cold and dampness of St. Peters- burg. A softer climate cannot fail to improve the Czar’s spirits and to make life brighter, and in Kieif he will, beaides,be in a capital far more European than St. Pctcrsburg,nnd no brought nearer to western influences. A chief drawback to residence in St. Peters- burg is that. its climate and its distance from Europe has emphasized for the czars that feeling of the separateness of Russia which has been their bane, and which has limited their View mainly to Russia alone, and prevented that larger consideration which comes from intimate acquaintance with the experiences of the West. But in Kiel? the czar will be in a city which must, if it is made the capital, be influenced by European ideas and customs, and will, moreover, be in such close touch with Austria. that the value of her friendship must impress itself upon him, and so pro- mote his willingnesa to Come more directly into the. society of nations. In this way the political effects of the change may be very considerable, and if it serves in any degree to bring the czar and his advisers into fuller touch with \Vestern ideas and progress and to break down the barriers which separate Russia from Europe, it will be a distinct gain to civilization. That it will modify in any respect the continuous policy of Russin,wbich has for its object the neiluisition of Constantinople,mny be doubt- ed, that policy being one from which there has been no deviation and never will be, and in support of which three quarters of a million of trained soldiers are now in \Vest- orn Russia. Apart from their determina- tion to control all Eastern Europe, and to secure it kindlier climate and more fruitful soil,tho Russians have another and stronger .motive, irresistible with nations, the desire for access to the sea, which in this case is intensified by the fact that in all their Wide domain Vladivosti k is the only seaport open at all seasons of the year. <PI-._â€"â€" No Cause For Alarm. American spread-eagleism was first ruffl- ed, than disquicted, by the. landing of Brit- ish mariners at Bluefields. It. suspected thnt not to be prompted by Britain’s claims or pretensions to suzcrainiy over the Mos- quito coast, and straiglitway it began to vocifernto. It demanded that the British Government be asked for an instant explan- ation, and called for the swift despntcli of a. United States man-of-war to Bluefields. But the facts of the diseinbarkation gradual- ly made their way through the distance and through the cloud of jealous suspicions that enveloped tlic dingo mind. These facts were furnished by the United States Consul at Groytown, a. port some scvénty miles from Bluefields. According to his report, the Cleopatra had landed; a few mariners at Bllicfields in response to an urgent petition from Citizens and American and British residents in that town, who called upon the British captain to pro- tect their lives and property from the invading Nicaraguans. IIc complied with their request, and the mere presence of tho bluejnckets nuiliced to quell the disturbance. This report was sub- stantially confirmed by the United States Ambassador in London, who sent home assurances that the temporary occu- pation by the British had no sinister sig- nificance. In the meantime the British had withdrawn. But. now a new terror begins to agitate the zealots of American expansion. They hear that Ambassador Bayard is negotiating with the British Gov- ernment for the settlement of all disputed questions growing out of the Clayton~ Bulwer treaty of 1550. They want him to lot that treaty alone, and prefer to Consider it dead. What they are especially fretting about is that Britain may want to claim the right, which this treaty gives her, of joint control with the United States over the Nicaragua canal. Unless it can be Ihown that Britain has broken the Clayton- Bulwcr treaty, she must be a political utnor with the UnitedSiates in that great ntorooccanic waterway. The treaty was never liked by thmAniericans, and they have always been ready to accuse Britain of violations of It. If these alleged viola- tions could be madeaground for voiding it, they would be very well pleased. The Jingoiou appear to think that Britain has Io otton about her rights under this treaty and are afraid Ambassador Bayard will re- eall then: b ‘ his afioru to rattle disputed question: at are the outcome of that tmty. ll STRANGE EXPERIENCE. i2“:.:Ҥ..‘:ii.‘.§§i§i§f§:§li°l§21l°§§li§§ ‘ i An Interview with a. Well-Known Brant County Lady. Sufl'cred {or Two tours will: nick "end- achc. Dlulaeas and Dyspepsia-How stu- i‘ou‘m Beliefâ€"What WelLKnown (hr-mists tiny. From the antford ExpOSitor. Mrs. S. W. Avery lives on Pleasant Ridge, about four miles out of the city of Brantford, that being her nearest post~ office and where all her trading is done, Mr. and Mrs. Avery have always lived in that neighborhood, and lie is the owner of two splendid farms, the one where he lives consisting of 160 acres and the other lying near Brantford com- prising 103 acres. They are highly re. apected residents of the community in which they reside, and every person for miles around know them. Having heard that Mrs. Avery had been cured of chronic dyspepsia and indigestion, by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a reporter called there recently and asked if Ibo was willing to make public the facts concerning the cure. Mrs. Avery replied that she had benefited bythe use of Pink Pills, and was perfectly willing to give her experience for the benefit of those who might be similarly suffering. “For the past two years,” said Mrs. Avery, “ I had been greatly troubled with a very sick headache, dizziness, and a cough which I believe were the symptoms of dyspepsia and indigestion, and I could find nothing to relieve me although I tried several dif- ferent medicines. I could.not even find anything which would relieve my cough, which at times would be very severe. Early last winter I read in the Expositor of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and as the symptoms mentioned weresomewbatsimilar to mine I was thus induced to try them. I procured a supply from Messrs. Mc- Gregor & Merrill, druggists of Brantford. Before I had used two boxes of the Pink Pills I felt so much better and relieved from my distressingsymptoms thatlthought it would be best to continue taking them through the winter, and I accordingly got another supply and used them with the result that I have been totally relieved. I have not once since had the severe head- aches which formerly made my life miser- able and my cough has entirely disappeared. I strongly recommend Pink Pills to anyone who suffers similar to what I did, from dizziness, headaches, indigestion, etc., and I believe they will derive great benefit from their use. Mrs. Avery’s statement was corroborated by her husband, who was present during the interveiw, and who said that without a shadow of a doubt Pink Pills had accom- plished more for his wife than any other medicine which she had taken. Messrs. McGregor 65 Merrill were inter- viewed, and in reply to a query as to the sale of these pills, ’Ur. McGregor said: “ \Ve have sold in the neighborhood of 5,000 boxes during the past twelve months and there is no remedy we handle gives better satisaction to our customers than Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills. I have every confidence that Pink Pills are the best on tliemarket. and somethingthepeople can de- pend npou.” Mr.Merrill,the other member of this well-known firm, said: “I have more pleasure in selling Pink Pills than any other medicine we handle, because it is rarely there is any disappointment in them, and the people who purchase them unani- mously express themselves as well satisfied. I arr well acquainted with Mrs.Avery and I know that all her statements are reliable,nnd I have watched the improvement Pink Pills have made in her case and have seen a great change for the better. Many other drugg- ists recommend some preparations, some times their own, to be equally as good as Pink Pills, but we cannot conscientiously say so, knowing that as a system tonic Dr. “’illiams’ Pink Pills stand unrivalled.” Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills are a perfect blood builder and nerve restorer, curing such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus’ dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration and tired feeling therefrom, the after effects of la. grippe,diseases depending on humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. Pink Pills give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complex- Q \‘i. “ x" t. x g ' HANK-LEAK Oshawa, Ont.

Doctors ascribe the disease largely to the use of malt liquors, also to sedentary habits, and those who are inclined to be fatliave to watch their kidneys constantly. But science has at last found a remedy for this terrible disease and several miraculous cures are recorded. I. K. Thompson, a well- known citizen of the West end, has been troubled with this complaint for several years. To areport-er he told his story. He said, “ About four years ago it dawned on me that there was someting wrong with my back. It used to ache and I used to have a slight pain in my thighs. I thought it was the after effects of la grippe. I was apparently in the best of health but I felt drowsy and listless and I was always tired. Occasionally my urine would be discolored and chalky but this gave me no alarm until one day I fainted and the doctor who was called in said I had Brights's disease of the kidneys and that was it the uric acid of my blood, which the kidneys failed to expel, that poisoned my brain and made me faint. l After a full examination he said my right} kidney was so affected that there was nothing for it but to have an oporationl performed and have it removed. Several] other physicians were called in and con-‘ firmed this opinion and I came to the con- clusion that. my days were short in this world. This was last spring and my daugh- ter was reading The Mail for me one day patch about a certain remedy called Schiller’s Snrsuparilla Pills that was doing wonderful work. I had tried all the known liver and kidney cures but they had proved useless and I dreaded to have the operation performed. Asa last, resort 1 procured a box of these pills and began taking them. The first box showed amarked improvement. The second still more, and when I had taken four boxes of them I had one of the doctors make a chem- : ical analysis of my urine and be pronounced me entirely free from kidney trouble. My experience is that those suffering from back- ache, boils and pimples should look to their 3 kidneys and take these pills.” Sold by all druggists or sent post-paid at 50c. per box, six boxes for $2.50 by ad- dressing H.
