Decay of a British Colony.

Advices from Jamaica says: The decay of

this colony, which was once called ‘“‘the brightest jewel in the British crown,” may be gathered from the following figures,

which show how sugar, the great staple of the country, has declined in cultivation during the periods named. The number of estates were: In 1832, 653; 1847, 513 1879, 216; and 1884, 189. In reference to this decline and the general impression pre- vailing, Michael Salomon, a prominent member of the legislative council and a large landed proprietor, proposed the fol- lowing resolution: Resolved, That the legislative council of Jamaica, assured that the continuation of the bounties given by foreign governments to pro- ducers of beet-root sugar must before long prove ruinous te the cane-sugar in- dustry of the West Indies and of a very large number of the inhabitants of this Island, this council trusts his excellency, the governor will, in view of the proposed conference on the bounty question, bring these facts to the notice of Her Majesty’s government and solicits that if such bounties are not shortly discontinued the Island be permitted to make arrangements with the United States of North Amer or with the sister colony of Canada, on ‘i! basis of reciprocity, in order that our sugar products, now 80 seriously affected by the bounty system in the English market, may find a favorable outlet nearer tome. The resolution was carried unanimously but the governor remarked that there was very little chance of its having any practical effect. coerce sialtiat aceasta

Petrolenm in Russia.

The Russian production of petroleum is

increasing enormously. Last month a fountain began playing at Baku, which is spoutiug nearly 500 tons an hour, or more than 11,000 tons of oila day. Its height

and it is the greatest ‘‘gusher” Up to that time the greatest petroleum fountain known was the ‘““Droobja,” which, in 1883, spouted to the height of 200 or 300 feet at the rate of near- ly 3,300 tons of oil a day. Of this well, Mr. | Charles Marvin,who was on the spot wrote: “This single well is spouting more oi than

is 224 feet, ever known.

all the 25,000 wells in America yield to- gether.” Ata rough estimate the quantity

of oil spouted from it would have realized in America about a million sterling, but it ruined its owner, for ‘the shoals of sand which were thrown from it, before it was got under contro], poured upon the build- ings and streets of of the town, five versts away, and led to claims for damages which amounted to more than the returns for the small quantity of oil whieh was caught aid stored. There is now a glut in the Russian market, and-most of the oil from the new well is going to waste. An effort will pro- bably be mz: ade to plug the opening in order to save the oil for future use. — ED oo inn

Remarkable Surgical @peration.

The hospitals and medical schools of Paris, are full of a marvelous, though not quite unprecedented surgical operation, by which an Algerian doctor, Pengraeher, has just saved the life of a child in the last stages of consumption. The little girl,aged twelve, was brought to the Hospital Trous- seau, wasted almost to a skeleton. The nurses and doctors were so touched by her sufferings that they declared death would be amercy, After long hesitation Dr. Pren

graeher, determined to rish an oper- ation, first chloroformed the child. He made a_ cruciform ineision, _ be- tween the fifth and_ sixth right

ribs, and burned out three cubic cen- timetres of the diseased portion of the lung with a red-hot iron. In three weeks the wound healed and the blood coursed healthily through the child’s veins. She picked up, the flesh grew strong, and she was sent home cured. In the enthusiasm aroused by this surgical achievement many people imagined that we had now a sure means of conquering cansumption. This is not the opinion of most authorities, notably of Dr. Verneuil. On being questioned on the subject, Dr. Verneuil s said that nothing new had been accomplished. Pneumotomy had been tried before. Another surgical! triumph had been recorded, that was all.

What True Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee’s German Syrup within a few years has astonished the world. It is without doubt the safest and best remedy ever discovered for the speedy and effectual cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung troubles. It acts on an entire- ly different principle from the usual prescrip- tions given by physicians, as it does not dry up a Cough and leave the disease still in the ‘ante. but on the contrary removes the cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected, and leaves them in a purely healthy condition. A

Jamaica is Seeking Keci- procity.

¥ hy

The heavy bounty granted by the Ger- man Government to the cultivators of beet root sugar has not only been a heavy tax upon the resources of the empire, necessi- tating a law limiting the acreaye that may be devoted to the growth of the sugar beet, but it has disrupted the sugar trade of the As the German Government pays a very considerable proportion of the cost of this sugar its price to the common con- sumer can be reduced to a very low point, and this price has become the controlling element in the sugar market of the world. Fo vears past bon- used beet root sugar has been sold at a price below that for which sugar can be made from the cane under the most favorable circumstances, and cane sugar planters are being ruined. In Jamaica which was almost exclusively a cane grow- ing country, the number of acres under cultivation has cGecreased very materially during the last few years, and the whole community has suffered severely. Attempt after attempt has been made by tie politi cians of the Island to get a bounty of some kind from the Imperial Government, and, failing 1 to get a favorable reciprocity treaty negouated — either the United States or Canada. The Legislative Coun- cil of Jamaica have again pledg them-

ves to reciprocity, and it is evident that a new attempt will be made by the island- ers, but it is not probable with any great amount of success. What the JAmaicans really want is a bounty on cane sugar,which will enable them to compete with German beet sugar, and neither Great Britain, the United States nor Canada is likely to give it to them.

cnitinaigeaiiiiliaiay lit sain dial Will Austria Fight?

A recent London cable is as follows: Will Austria fight?. This is what the whole Eastern question is gg 200 down to, aad next week, in aj] human probability, will

bring an answer. That thee ire ae hours in Vienna none can daubt. The de ewion which trembles in the balance is the m vital that the house of Hapsburg has

faced since 1848. The question of war is

gravely debated day by day by the Austrian rulers, and the time for settlement gTOWS cruelly short. A policy of inaction dictated by fear threatens not

oniy the position of the kimpire among the powers, but its existence itself,

for haughty and restless Hungary is resolved either to fight Russia or smash the Govern- ment at Vienna. Everyone knows that the Austrian army is in a woeful state of dis-

orgynization. What with their infericr armanicnts, i avs of a change from old

systems to n nd the almost comical necessity of wausiating every genera! order into six languages, and these in turn into sixteen Qialects for regimental use, either ternative is therefore full of peril. Yet if she can be assured of allies the chances stil! are that Austria will decide to risk war. Somebody speak publicly } re Austria will venture to commit herse! PR

Proprietary Medicines.

A visit t6 Dr. Green's Laboratory, at Wood- bury, N. J., has considerably changed our views, and especially our ejudices in 12 gard to what are generally kno, Stan dard Patent Medicines.” Of course we are getting to that age in life when we are forced to conclude Life itself is a humbug, and natur- ally distrust anything that has not withstood long and tried experienzes. Being a physician I had the curiosity to know how such a sale of two medical preparations could be sustained for so many years. The perfect system upon which the business is conducted, and the phar- maceutical arrangements for the manufacture of the two recipes with which we were made acquainted, are sufficiently convincing to us that the August Flower, for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaints, and Boschee’s German Syrup, for Throat and Lung Troubles, were for the complaints they are recommended, most excellent re: Yi nd only regret that in much of our practice, medical ethics pre- vent us from prescribing them without mak ing the nah, public, When we were shown the great quantity of —_ itary lette rs hav ing been forwarded Dr. Green, from all parts of the country, and from all classes of peo ple, lawyers, ministers and doctors, giving a description of the ailments, testimonials of their cures, etc. I feel like endorsing Dr, Green's suggestion that the Government ac- cept such valuable formulas, and license them for general use by giving protection to the in- ventor same as patents generally..—Copied from N.
