Her steamers came on to the river some forty years after the English and American flags were first seen there, but she takes the scriptural view that the last shall be' first, and if no convenient room has been left at the open ports for her hulka and her wharves, she has men-of-war aud Admirals, and some- body must move to make way for her.

must not use this cut-off; this order has been impressed on the British and Chinese steamer, companies by the British Consuls and the Commis. sioners of Customs, and is rigorously obeyed by them; but the German steamers pay no attention whatever to the order, and re- gularly use the cut-off.

TO PREVENT CROUP, EGIN in time. The first symptom is
Boarseness, this 18 song followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recog- nized and will never be forgotten by one who has head it. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarso. If Cham- berlain's Cough Remedy is freely given, all tendency to croup will soon disappear. Even after the croupy cough has developed, it will prevent the attack. There is no danger in given this remedy as it contains nothing injurious.. It always cures and curos quickly. For sale by All Dealers: WATKINS Ltd., General Agents.
