Speedy Cure Treatment.
Bathe the affected parts with Hot Water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales, and soften the thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Ointment freely, to allay itching, irritation, and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and lastly take Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood. A single set is often sufficient to cure the most torturing, dis- figuring, itching, burning, scaly, plmply humours, eczemas, rashes, irritations, and chafings, with loss of hair, when all else falls.
The agonizing itching and burning of the skin, as in eczema; the fright- ful scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in scalled head; the facial disfigurement, as in pimples and ringworm; tho awful suffering of infants and the anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tetter, and salt rheum, all demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope with them. Such are the CUTICURA remedies, the purest, sweetest, most speedy and economical curatives for the skin, scalp, and blood ever compounded. Mothers are their warmest friends.
Millions of Women Use Cuticura Soap
Assisted by CUTICURA OINTMENT for preserving, purifying, and beautify- ing the skin, for cleausing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of failing hair, for softening, whitening, and soothing red, rough, and sore hands, for baby rashes and chafings, in the form of baths for unoging irritations and fuflammations of women, or too free or offensive perspiration, in the form of washes for ulcerativo weaknesses, and many, sanative, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves, as well as for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery,

FRENCH SUBMARINZ S FOR SAIGON,
The Fre ch naval authorities evidently. contemplate sending submarine vessels out to the Far East, so it may be presumed the British authorities will follow suit, The Paris Correspondent of the Standard wrote on the 28th ult. ;— ··
Though there is littlo doubt thatthe Eud- get Committee and the Chamber readily agree to the demand which the Govern- ment, will make to-morrow for power to spend ten millions of francs on defensive works at the port of Saigon, M. Pelletan's proposal to send out to that dockyard two submarine boats for its defence is not meet ing with such unanimous approval. A writer in the Slecle, who evidently has an intimate knowledge not only of submarines but Also of the port in, question, and is therefore, probably, Mr de Lanessan, ex-Minister of Marine and ex-Gover nor General of Indo-China, points out that the submarine boats it is propo- ned to send out are at present at Chor |bourg, and each weigh about 68 tons. He criticises the Minister's intention to sond them across France by rail to Toulon, where they will be stowed on board the torpedo cruiser La Foudre which will convey them to Saigon, a distance of 7150

Saigon, however, is 55 kilometres from the mouth of the river, and as 80 marine miles are equal to 148 kilometrus, the boats would in reality only have a radius of action of 38 kilometres from the mouth, ne sufficient power would have to be retained for the return journey.

TOO MUCH FOR ONE MAN. There is no art of which it is more difficult to obtain a complete mastery than the healing art, bonau ailments being so many and complicated. But that which taxes the physician's skill most is what is called diagnosis, the finding ont exactly what it is that troubles the patient. In many cases this is a more difficult task than the proper treatment. Nothing is more common than for people to be ill, yet quite unable to When the say what is the matter with them.

Such a result as this is not uncommon, but it is unsatisfactory. Whoever seeks the aid of medicine does so in the hope of finding a cure. and though many are grievously disappointed in their quest, they can have no other object.
The fact in, the field of study is too vast for any man, however great his ability, to master the cause and cure of all hunan ailments, as physicians are supposed to do. Hence arises specialisation, so that one doctor is said to be an anthority on the eye, another on the car, and 30 on.

THE CHINESE AND THE

In the House of Commons on the 29th February, Mr Ashton asked the Secretary for the Colonies whether the regulations under the Chinese Labour Ordinance would be framed before Chinose labourers were recruited in China; if not, what steps would be taken to enable the Superinten- dent of Labourers in China to inform the labourers of the proposed terms of service.
Mr Lyttelton. Yes, Sir, the regulations which concern the terms of service as laid down in the contract must obviously be framed before definite contracts are inado.
Mr Bryce asked the Secretary for the 1 Colonica whether he would, without prejudice to the power of making further rogulations from time to time, cause to bo forthwith prepared such and so many regulations regarding the Chinese labour which it was proposed to import into the Transvaal as might be, in the first instance, necessary in order to carry out the provisions of the Ordinance and the pledges which he had himself given; and whether he would cause thoso regulations to be com municated to Parliament before authorising the embarkation of any Chinese for South Africa.
Mr Lyttelton. --These regulations are being prepared. They will be laid upon the Table as soon as they are completed. I will not sanction the gmbarkation of any labourers till I am satisfied that the pledges which I have given to the House are em- bodied in the regulations. Beyond this I Chonot give any further undertaking.
Mr Bryce.-Do I understand that labourers may be embarked for South Africa before the House has seen the regulations?
Mr Lytteltion.-No, Sir; that would probably not be the fact. My right hon. friend will see that there are very consider- able proceedings by way of explanation of
he received it amid general cheers.

One of the most important sections of the Japanese educational system is that provi-

number of students annually. Between 40 and 50 are generally sent to countries all over the world every year, and they return after several years' absence with knowledge on special subjects which is utilized for the benefit of the nation at large.

[Mr Malcolm McIlwraith is the legal adviser of the Khedive, upon whose advice and the sanction of Lord Cromer, Judge Blairiaux was dismissed by the Khedive. The Mixed Courts in Egypt are numerous. They were established in 1896 and wore the fruit of the indefatigable efforts of Nubar Pasha to rid the country of the intolerabile burden of the Consular jurisdiction in civil as well as criminal-matters, where foreigners were concerned. The courts are renewed
quinquennially. There are three courts of
the first instance, at Cairo, Alexandria, and Masaowah. The Alexandria tribunal consists of 12 foreign and five native judges; that of Cairo of nine foreigners and five natives, and that at Massowah of four foreigners and two natives. Thero is only one court of appeal, which site at Al- exandria and is composed of 13 judges, nine being foreign and four natives.
