I V .. , , ‘2’ rows AND COMMENTS. One of the disputed points of British naval policy is the attempt to control the Mediterranean in the event of war with France, or with France and Russia com. bined. England aims to assert such con- trol now by the oc:unation of iiiliraltar, Malta, Cyprus, and Egypt; but opinion is growing among British military and naval authorities that even in time of peace the policy is a mistake, as involving needles;- expense, and in time of war would serious- ly diminish elficiency at all points. A strategically superior sni more economical policy, it is urged, would he to evacuate Egypt, Malta and Cyprus, and as defence in their stead occupy Tangier and fortify the island of Perim in the Red sea. Suci an arrangement would obviate the horses- ing expense of maintaining a large fleet and strong garrisons in the Mediterranean, while it Would, on the outbreak of war enable England to prevent the issue of the enemy from that sea by blocking the exits at Gibraltar and Perim, and also give her overwhelming superiority of force elsewhere at sea. The fleets of France and Russia would be corked up in the Mediterranean, at Gibraltar by the Tangier and Channel squadrons, and at the southern entrance of the Suez canal by a strong occupation o! Aden and Purim, the British fleet being thus left free for concentration at the points having most vital relation to imperial in- tercsts. â€"â€" Of course, under this arran;ement Egypt would be lost to England, but it is urged that the London government has always declared that its occupation is only to be emporary, and that it could now be given to France in exchange for a free hand at Tangier and on the coast of Morocco, a position of far greater value. Control of the Suez canal Would also be lost to Eng- land, but the commerce through that water, Way would in time of war be largely para- lyzed in any event by the French navel stations on both sides of the Mediterranean and vessels bound for India could always take the route by the Cape. The loss of time by the longer voyage would be more than balanced by the greater safety, while the loss of the maritime trs f‘fic of the Mediterranean would be insignificant as compared with the total of British ocean commerce and the expense of control of the inland sea. Some of the advocates of this policy, however, do not favor the evacua- tion of Malta, believing it to be defensible for a year at least against any attack, but all favor the abandonment of Egypt in thr- event of warmnd the restoration of Cyprus to the Ports, both of which could be re- occupied, if desired, by England, should she be successful in the contest. That the scheme would offer many advantages over any attempt to maintain control of the Mediterranean there is no doubt, for under it the fleets of the enemy would be closed up in that sea on the outbreak of hostili- tics, the British food supply safeguarded, and the British fleet given overwhelming preponderance in all oceans, and left “3 liberty to reduce the naval bases .u d colonial dependencies of France and Rus- Bla. Worth's Predeeessor. It has been erroneously assumed by many people that the late M. \Vorth was the firstman iuillincr of European reputa- tion. This is amistakc, as has been pointed out by a learned writer in the l‘lclair. The first man inilliner of whom history takes notice, says the London Daily News, was Rhomberg, who became famous in Paris in the reign of Louis XV. He was the son of a Bavarian peasant. His manner of adver- tising in the early part of the eighteenth century was to send out carts, the body of which representol a corset,whi1e the shafts were made in imitation of a pair of tailor's shears. The notion got abroad that he was extremelyskillful in hiding little deform- ities in the figure and the vogue he enjoyed in consequence was immense. Although he was but a few years in business, dying at the early age of 40 years, he left a fortune estimated at £40,000 or £50,000. a large sum for a tradesmen to have earned in those days. Under the first empire his successor was Leroy, who dressed the princess of the imperial court. At the period of the restoration he lived in retire- ment in a splendid mansion in the Rue Richelieu, where he entertained in princely style. Leroy was said to be witty and a model of deportment, and be numbered the most fashionable people among his friends. Two Views. First \Vorkingmanâ€"Look at theinequalo ity. .\lr.

From the Causes. N. 3.. Breeze. While newspaper men are called upon in their capacity as publishers to print, from week to week words of praise spoken in favor of proprietary medicines, it is not often that the editor himself feels it his duty to say a good word on behalf of any of these preparations. And at if a newspaper man has actually found benefit from the use of a proprie~ tary medicine, why should he not make it known to his readers, and thus per- haps point out to some of them the road in renewed health? The editor of the Breeze believes it his duty to say a few words of praise in favor of a remedy that has proved an inestimable boon to him, and to say them without any solicitation on the part of the proprietors of the 'nedicine, who, asa matter of fact, had no reason toknow that he was ailing or was using their medicine. For several vears the editor of the Breeze had been i'iibject to that distressing complaint, .dys- pepsia,sud only those who have been simil- irly troubled can know how much misery ibis trouble entails. He had but very little ippetite, and what he did eat caused an unpleasant feeling of fullness, and made him feel languid and heavy, often causing intense pain-in the stomach only relieve by vomiting up the food which he had taken. He was also troubled with palpi: :atiou of the heart brought on no doubt by the dyspepsia. Numerous remedied allegcd to cure dyspepsia were tried, but Without success, and the trouble was ap: preaching a chronic stat-e. At the suggest tion of a friend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were tried and relief soon followed their use, and after a few boxes had been taken the editor was able to assert positively that he had been cured of his dyspepsia by this remedy that has proved so great a blessing to mankind. To any one.troubled with this complaint he would strongly re- commend l)r. Williams’ Pink Pills. To newspaper men particularly they will be found just the thing to impart health and vigor to the whole system and enable them to puruso their work free from that tired, despondent feeling so prevalent among the are ft. The editor of the Breeze firmly believes that what they have done for him they will do for others, and. he ives them his hearty and unsolicited endorsatiou. _ Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are an unfailing cure for all troubles resulting from poverty cf the blood or shattered nerves, and where river: I. fflr trial they never fail in cases inks that above related.

Robert Ohman,a passenger on the steam- er City Pekin,which arrived at San Fran- cisco from Hong Kong the other day,.tells ., peculiar story of hypnotism, said to have been practised upon himself and a number of others while confined in Russian prisons in Siberia. With nine others who compos- ed the crew of the schooner Emma, which sailed from Douglas City, Alaska, in 1893, on a sailing voyage, he said he was seized by Russian offiwrs on the La. Galine Islands. Llhman said ho did not know what charge was placed against them,but, nevertheless, they were looked up in agaol on the island, and kept there for Several weeks. They then were taken to some place on the coast, where they were supposed to stand trial for their offence. All the proceedings were conducted in the Russian language, and no defence ofl’ered. After the court adjourned Ohman was sent to prison at Viadivostock. There he says he was hypnotized by the Government ofli :ials. What he did after that he does not remem- ber until he was placed on a steamer for Nagasaki in the care of an Englishman or German, and handed over to the American (Icusul at Nagasaki. who secured transpor- tation for him to America. He could not tell what had become of his shipmates, whom he left in the Siberian prism), but he believes he was the means of send- ing them all to the gallows by the stories he told about them while under hypnotic influence.
