Both the yards mentioned in the preceding paragraph have just been favoured with Admir- alty orders; a 5,000 ton cruiser is to be built in onch yard. The vessels are reported by the Osaka Mainichi to be cruisers designed to attain very high speed, with a view to their being utilised as despatch vessels in time of war. This, adds our contemporary, will be a world's record, as no vessels of this size have hitherte been designed for such servico.
The Tacoma-maru developed on her recent trial trip a speed of more than 14 knots, carry Ing about 4,000 tons ballast. The Osaka Jigt states that next year there will be twelve Japanese steamers on the run between Puget Sound and Hongkong. In the event of an or- rangement being made between the N.Y.Kad 0.8.K. to dispatch a steamer once a week from oach side between Hongkong and the United States, it will be possible for Japanese merchants to dispense with the service of foreign steamers. Such a aion between the two companies, says the Osaka paper, is calculated to go a long way towards farthering the trade between Japan and the United States.

My daughter mentioned a case of man who had an attack of sorema on the chant and sims and after spending a lot with doctor, ste, was perfectly gund after using one set of the Culleurs Remedies. So I sent for a sot (consist ing of Cuticurs Boap, Ointment and Resolvent Pills) and after using them the first time I had a good night's sleep and from that time have entirely lost the pain. The sores healed up and I continued the Cutipurs Ointment for about a fortnight longer and have taken the Cuclours Pills nightly till the bottle was emptied and the eczema bar entirely diappeared. I have at least two thirds of the Ointment left. I can from personal experience recommend the Cuttoura Remedies as an economical and effec- --*tive treatment.
