He says that tin re is no truth in the reported breakdown of Ad miral Dewey s health ; that the Germans acted a “little queer” without doing any harm; that the climate of the Philippine! is delightful and that the volun teer soldiers are all right. War and other correspondents are referred to the terse efficacy of this report. The Japanese government i professes to be pleased with the ( advent of the United States as an Oriental Power. The Japs will watch with the greatest in terest the development of the Yankee policy in tbe manage ment of the multi-savagery of the Philippine archipelago; they have a similar little task of their own in subduing Formosa to the uses «f a broader civiliza tion. So far it has probably cost two dollars to produce every dollar of gold tha; has been sent out j from the Klondike region in Alaska; but the quest continues: unabated.

Thousands fail of this because they have neglected to look after their health in a womanly way. The health of a woman’s babies is dependent upon her own health during the period of prospective maternity The prospective mother cannot be too par ticular about her physical condition. If she suffers from local weakness, nervous ness or loss of vigor and virility, her chib dren will be weak, puny and sickly. Dr. Pieroe’s Favorite Prescription is tne only unfailing cure for all weakness and disease of the delicate and important organs that bear the brunt of maternity. It makes these organs •Ifong. healthy, vigorous, virile and elastic, fl makes the prospective mother strong nnd cheerful, ft robs maternity of its perils. It insures a baby constitution ally strong.

The queen regunt of Spain some time ago decorated the president of France with the order of the Goldwii Fieece. Re cently he was presented with a bill of 8,000 francs for the same and had it to pay.
