Skin-Tortured Babies
AND TIRED MOTHERS Find Comfort in Cuticura
INSTANT RELIEF and refreshing sleep for Skin-tortured Babies and rest for Tired Mothers in warm baths with CUTICURA SOAP, and -gentle anointings with CUTICURA OINTMENT, the great skin cure and purest of emollients, to be followed in severe cases by mild doses of CUTICURA RESOLVENT PILLS, to cool and cleanse the blood. This is the purest, sweetest, most speedy, permanent, and economical treat ment for torturing, disfiguring, itching, burning, bleeding, scaly, crusted, and pimply humours, eczemas, rashes, irritations, and itchings, with loss of hair, of infants and children, yet compounded.
MILLIONS USE CUTICURA SOAP
Assisted by CUTICURA OINTMENT, for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, and soothing red, rough, and sore hands, for baby rashes, itchings, and chafings, in the form of baths for annoying irritations and inflammations, or too free or offensive perspira tion, in the form of washes for ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, especially mothers, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. No other medicated sonp ever compounded is to be compared with it for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and hands. No other foreign or domestic toilet soap, however expensive, is to be compared with it for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. Thus it combines in ONE SOAP at ONE PRICE, the BEST skin and complexion soap, and the BEST toilet and BEST baby soap in the world.

TUBERCULOSIS IN HUMAN
BEINGS,
BERLIN, November 26.
The Imperial Commission appointed the Government to investigate the relations. between bovine and human tuberculosis mbt yesterday. Dr Weber, one of the most eminent members of the Commission, re- ported that investigations hitherto made "showed bovine and human tuberculosis bacilll to be absolutely different biologi- cally, and one never develops changes into the other. The examination of fifty-six persons who died of tuberculosis showed the
presence of human bacilli only in fifty. There was bovine bacilli, however in six. three of which were young children, Tho surmise is permissible that the latter receiv ed the bacillus from the milk of diseased cows. Two other osses which Dr Weber regards as most important was where the
corpses showed bovine bacilli in the glands and human bacilli also on other portions of the body. “They were distinct cases of double infection.
The Commission reached the conclusion that tuberculosis in human beings was caus- ed by human bacillus, but urges careful usə-
of all prescribed measures to prevent infoo tion with bovine bacillus.

the whole Army for disease and injury A1, ABC 5th EDITION, WESTERN during the last calendar year, as compared
with 1902. Notwithstanding the fact that
a mean strength of 25,376 troops were on foreign service during the year, only 620 deaths occurred from all causes in the on- tire Army-American and native troops- equal to a rate of 9.30 per thousand, as compared with 15.49 for the previous year.
"Dar present system of sea const de- fences, based upon the report made by the Endicott board January 16th, 1886, is now. considerably more than half completed. Projects-for-the defence of thirty-one localities in the United States have been prepared and approved, and actual con- struction under these approved projects has so far advanced that twenty-five of the principal harbours now have mounted in fortifications and ready for use heavy guns
· and mortars sufficient to furnish an effective defence against any possible naval attack.
"Since the inauguration of the present system of coast defence the total appro- priations made by Congress for carrying out the work aggregate in round numbers $110,000,000, and it is estimated that it will take $65,000,000 more to complete the work.'
The report describes at some length the Alaskan telograph system, which is now complete so far as the military adminis. tration of the Army is concerned, and shy the time is not far distant when the Army will withdraw from telegraph work in
Alaska.
Considerable attention is given to the conditions existing in the Philippines, and A rovision of the Philippine tariffs is strong- ly urged.

ATTER THE WAR.

THERE is nothing in the British Press to show that hostility against Russia has increased since the war broke out: on the contrary, it would seem that admiration for her bravery under great difficulties has secured for her as much of our sympathy as is. compatible with the just expectations of our "allics. It is hardly too much to say that every right-thinking individual

To overcome this the Rob- inson Piano Company installed a piano factory at Wanchal, where all the materials used in the production of the instrument are well accustomed to the climate before they are put together, thus surmounting the main obstacle in the way of introducing an instrument of stability into the Colony.
The factory covers a considerable area of ground, the floor area being 11,500 Aquare foot, The works are under the supervision of Mr S. Douglas Bickie, and he has a staff of up- wards of 100 Chinsmen under his control A visit to the establishment showed how the work of building a piano is proceeded with, from the time that the frame and raw material is imported into the Colony until a finished article is sent up to the ware. house in Queen's Rond.
The stability of the piano depends large- Iy on the iron frame which is specially cast for the Company at Home and sent out.

The accused, on being placed in the dock, was seen to be a man of rather diminutive stature, but thick set and very dark.

The timber is then shaped and planed to the required size and thoroughly varnished back and front, rendering it impervious to any moisture.

But though theoretically they are sound, when the exchequer is depleted, they hang up their principles till a more convenient season.
