Russia and France, and on the other Japan and Great Britain. It is evi'ient that Rossia wiil extend her sovereignty EO'JLl'l to the Yellow Sea sooner or later. and at any cost :and it is natural that she should se-â€"k to do so by first get- King a lien on China in anan of $80,000,000 to settle up with Japan, and, secondly, by forming a Chinese compact, defensive and aggressive, to make another step forward in her march to the Pacific. â€"_ Alliance between Russia and China is logical. In the thirteenth century a Tartar from Mongolia invaded China and formed a dynasty which ruled over the whole eastern part of Asia except Japan from the end of the thirteenth past the middle of the four- teeuth century. The present dynasty in China is also of Mongolian extraction. It has long been prophesied that Russia, with the Mongol 'l‘artars, would cleave a way to the Yellow Sea. The prophecy has been, in part, fulfilled. W'hen by the treaty of Pekin foreign ambassadors were permitted to take up residence at the imperial capital, Russia sent as her plenipotentiary aman who more than any other of modern times after Napoleon combined the diplomatic and military genius. Iguatieil‘ blandly won his way into the confidence of the allies, and as soon as the treaty had been conclud- ed he obtained for Russia eastern Siberia, with VIaditostock. This was in 1858. The foundation, therefore, of Russia‘s expecta- tions in that quarter is Chinese ; but she did not hesitate to resort to Japan for its first addition. The Island of Saghalien lussia obtained the following year, in exchange for the Kurile Island, which was then apparently of greater importance to Japan. In fact, Russia wanted it because it formed a huge breakwater at the mouth of the Amoor. It also commands the northern entrance to the Sea of Japan and is rich in coal. It appears to be the intention of Russia in avowed defiance of Japan to go south- ward io Port Lazareil' as the natural outlet for her trans-Siberian railway. While the government of Japan felt compelled to abandon a claim for territory on the main- land from China rather than to face a war with Russia, popular feeling throughout the island has proved more powerful than the discretion of the mikado. Flushed with victory, their treasury to be replen- ished by cash indemnification, the Japanese are liable to drive their rulers into another conflict, compared with which that with China was boys’ play. Rumor of a compact between Great Britain and Japan in regard to a possible conflict with Russia receives collateral corroboration in the sudden summons of Lord Dufl'erin from Paris to Downing street. The course to be pursued by Great Britain in the east is necessarily to as affected materially by that. to be adopted by France. Decoration of the president of the French republic by the Czar was undoubtedly intended to confirm. immediately following it, announcement by the French government that a treaty was in existence bet-ween Russia and the republic, and England has a vital interest on the Nile which may be more nearly involved in the secret understanding than any concern of Germany. It is a curious coincidence of a rapid series of international wants that, while the French people were in frtnzy over participation by their shipI in the festivities at Kiel, anew Egyptian committee should be formed at Paris for the purpose of “persuading” England to Withdraw her troops from Egypt. Russian war preparations are apparently in progress. Captain Sanderson, of the Norwegian steamer Oscar IL, arriving at Tacoma from Vladivostock, roports 34.),000 men at that port ready, he asserts, for an advance south. The harbor is full of tor- does. and no vessels are allowed to pass or out without Russian naval officers and pilots aboard. Captain Sanderson found there a large fleet of Russian war- ships equipped and manned to force a way Will] tho land force for Russia to extend her Siberian railway from Vladivostock to l the Yellow Sea. , At no time since the Crimean war until l the present have the English people been} dispmed to look upon war with a first-class power as expedientcrdesirable. lfa compact ' has been made witliJapan to resist Russian ‘ aggression on the Pacific, popular feelingl in the United Kingdom Will probabéy ap- prme of its almost Certain consequence. It I was the Tory party, moreover, that made Great Britain a power in the east. Salisâ€" bury is the lineal heir of the ideas of Derby. Palmerston and Disraeli. The English manufacturers would not be averse to I ~ conflict that would put a little further oi‘f absorption of much of their eastern market by Japan. It would be, indeed, the begin- ning of a startling chapter in the history of the world should Great Britain once more become a fighting power in the east. standing with Japan to resist the descent of the Cossacks into the Western world. If Russia can keep back England and Japan with the help of China. the sequel. the long predicted rattle of the Cossack hoof in the halls of Constantinople, would seem to be within realisation.

Perhaps there is no healthier people on ' :he continent of America to-day than the i residents of the picturesque village of l llsrrickville, situated on the Rideau river, ’ ..nd the reason is not so much in its salab- rious climate as in the wise precautions ..keu by its inhabitants in warding off - menu by a timely use of proper medicine. ;he greatest favorite is Dr. Williams’ i'ink Pills. and many are the testimonials | . I regard to their virtues. Your correspon- ' out on Monday last called at the residence iMr. and Mrs. H. Ession,and interviewed l heir daughter, Miss Hattie Easton, a .indsome young lady of 20 years, who is :nown to have been very low and has been :stored to health by the use of Pink Pills. ‘ Yes," she said, “I suffered a great deal, -=it I am so thankful that lam once more catered to health. You have no idea shat it is to be so near the portals and feel hat everything in life's future is about. to lip from your grasp and an early grave .our doom. I was taken ill four years ago with troubles peculiar to my sex, and .‘hich have hurried many a young woman 4) her damnâ€"an early grave. l have «ken in all about twenty boxes of Pink 'ills, and I am only too glad to let the orld know what these wonderful little allots have done for me, hoping that some her unfortunate young woman may be «Inefitted as I was. When sixteen cars of age I began to grow pale. and oak and many thought I was going .to decline. I became subject. to faint- ig spells and at times would become nconscious. My strength gradually de- rensed and I became so emaciated that I .'_.s simply a living skeleton. My blood :smed to turn towater and my face Was is color of a corpse. I had tried difi'srent :inds of medicines, but they did me no .cod. _I was at last 0 .nfined to my room or several months and hope of my recovery vas given up. At last a friend strongly irged the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills ind after using a few boxes I began to grow slightly stronger. I continued their use until I had used about twelve boxes, when I found myself restored to health. I now quit using the pills and for six months I never felt better in my life. Then I began to feel that I was not as regular as I should be and to feel the old tired feeling once more coming on. Once more I resorted to Pink Pills, and by the time I had used six boxes I found my health fully restored. I keep a box by me and occasionally when I feel any symptoms of a return of the old trouble, I take a few and I am all right again. I cannot find words of suflicient weight to express my appreciation of the wonderful curative qualities of Dr.WiIIiams’ Pink Pills and sincerely hope that all who are afllicted as I was will give them a trial and I am certain they will find renewed health.” The facts above related are important to parents as there are many young girls just budding into womanhood whose condition is, to say the least, more critical than their parents imagine. Their complexion is pale and waxy in appearance, troubled with heart palpitation, headaches, shortness of breath, on the slightest exercise, faintness and other distressing symptoms which in- variably lead to a premature grave unless prompt steps are taken to bring abouts natural condition of health. In this emer- gency no remedy yet discovered can supply the place of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, which build anew the blood. strengthen the nerves and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks.
