From the Port Perry Standard, we clip an article on the above. which is torso and to the point and fully express- ive of the views of this journal on the subject. We have always maintained that the large annual militia expense of Canada is money as good as thrown away and to those who will take the trouble to look into the matter the utter absurdity of the whole thing must readi. ly become evidentâ€"“Just now a great deal is being.r said about the defence of Canada, brought about by articles ap~ pearing in the British press, some of which are simply ridiculous in all their conclusions. These are supported by Sir Charles Dilke. who, in the “Fort- nightly Review." has expressed an un- favorable opinion of our militia system. lie admits ours to be preferable to that ot the mother country, but he charges as with false economy, by paving for what is not efficient in war, and hoping war will never come. Whether or not the other conclusions are correct, Canadians are quite right in reference to the last conclusion. and so long as they act fairly with their present neighbors, war, with all its horrors, will never come. Ad- mitting to be true what Sir Charles atlirms to he so, that no “considerable 1'ortion of our militia could be mobilised to resxst an American attack." what of it ? The idea of being able to cope with The Defence of Canada. the United States is too absurd to talk of. Five millions of people against sixty millionsâ€"the former almost bankrupt, the latter immensely wealthyâ€"the for- mer able to equip a few thousand, and the lattera millionâ€"why the thing is~ too grotesque to entertain. 'i‘rue, we might have England to back us, but what of that '3 A few garrisons might , hold out, and the British fleet might re- , taliate, but with a frontier three thous- and miles in length, Canada, from Hali- fax to Vancouver. could soon be overrun} with troops, in spite of everv endeavor that could be made to oppose them. Our homes would be laid waste, our‘ blood and treasure lost and the country ‘ ruined. It difficulties are to be met, no matter how great. or how perplexing. we , hope to find a better way out of them than an appeal to arms. The “dogs of war" are savage things. Better by far, arbitrate, as in the Alabama case, and as we are now doing with the fishery question. In the latter. Britain seems as willing to propitiate the Americans. as she is to retain our fealty, and Mr. Joe. Chamberlain as good as told us so 1 l l only the other day. We are by no means either anxious or willing to place our militia in a position “to resist an American attack." and this leads us to remark further that we regard the inti- inations from:Ottawa. having reference to western coast defences. as the height of ; folly. In the first place we are tinau- l eially unable to build them. and in the l et‘cond place, what earthly good would they be it built ‘3 Fortifications in British Columbia or at Vanemwer, with the aid of British gunboats, might be able to. utlord some shelter to boats in these harbors. but they would be useless , :‘gaiust our neighbors or a foreign foe.

The Soul“.- (‘uaml By A Japanese Pu- san Wont-n. A young Japanese peasant woman has created a genuine sousatisu in the med- ical circles of the east with a new theory and cure of rheumatism. Her theory is that it is caused by a small insect under the skin. that guaws and bites the muscles and thus causes the twinges of pain and the untold mis~ cry of that ailment. Tm: Toronto “Mail" says : “Whether our Government desires it or not. the Canadian tariff must come down when the American tariff is reduced. Even l as matters stand. smuggling from the ’ American to the ' Canadian Sldc has taken root as an established industry. Coal oil. cotton goods and wearing ap~ parel are the staple articles conveyed across ; and it appears from a recent Seizure at a frontier town, in the eastern part of the Province. that certain grades of boots and shoes are also on the “free" list. It is obvious that if the American : duties on sugar. woollen goods. etc“ are I cut down this underground trailic lnust , grow : and that some of our traffic taxes will cease hoth to afford protection and to produce revenue. A grizzled and skeptical sea captain placed himself under her care. and, after foot baths of bran and hot rice brandy. she nipped from his knees small white insec‘ts by the dozen ! To cure it. the uric acid must be driven out of the blood. which is done by putting the kidnevs in a healthy eon- dition with Warner‘s safe cure and “put. ting the fire out in the bloat " by Wan ner‘s safe rheumatic cure. These remedies. taken in alteration. as they should be. drive out the uric acid already in the blood and prevent further accu- mulation. James Wight, of 37 E. 19th St.. New York. was for many years a i victim of rheumatism and tried various remedies and cures without avail. Sept. '3 1887. he writes in praise of the remedies named and says : “I am now 1 free from the arrow stings of the dread. ed inflammatory rheumatism. I have and always will recommend Warner‘s ‘rheumatic remedies to all sufferers of i the disease.“ The regular practioners were skeptical about this new theory. and put one of the insects under a microscope. They decided that by its organism it never could have lived under the surface of the skin. The Captain insxsts. however. that the Japanese woman has taken the insects from his knees and ankles by the hundreds, in his sight and killed them and that he grows better after each treatment. This theory. absurd as it seems. is really not much more so than the theories formerly held by the medical fraternity. It used to be thought a trouble of the joints. and was treated as such until it was demonstrated that the treatment brought no lasting results. SCANTLING. SILLS. JOISTS. LATII. SHlNGLES.

Now it is aeknowledged to be a “fiery condition of the blood, caused by the presence of uric acid in the system." The Japanese peasant woman's theory will not be likely to stand the test. of time and scientific investigation. but the thousands of cures made by the remedies mentioned above prove their merit be- yond all question.
