Tuk resson why ‘Myrtle Navy” tobacco taken so strong a hold upon the smoking community is because it is the genuine article. No man hasa desire to smoke anything els? than tobacco. Even opium is not smoked for the pleasure of smoking it but for its soporific @Wects, The desire for tobacco is, of course, best satisiied by getting the pure article, and when to this is added the finest quality the tatisfaction is complete. These two things are combined in the ‘‘Myrtle Navy.” ; ed ee ae Grorcr W. Rorertson and A McDonald, of the Railway Department, think that the Commissioner of Public Works was somewhat hasty in blewing about corn he saw some- Where in the country having attained « height of five feet ten inches.

Mr. Davitt has always admitted that the
work of the [rish parliamentary party was
useful in its way, but he insigts that there) is other and more important work to be done outside of Parliament in keeping up the agrarian agitation in Ireland. Mr. Parnell wants to control beth branches of the work, and to start or stop outside agita- tion as he eees fit in order to have it contri- bute to results he is aiming atin Parlia- ment. . the agitation stopped in order to con- centrate the party on s important task of securing the largest pos- sible number of seats in the next Parlia- ment. i promise his co-operation on the stump, and to keep his propaganda in the background until November. :

Scotch Ship-building. Ship-building on the Clyde is at a low e>b. During the first seven months of the prese ss year the tennage built has been less than inthe same period in any year for the last ten, with two exceptions. In the last seven months the tonnage reached 105,815 tone, In 1883, when the highest figures of the ten years was reached, the tonnage was 227,595; in 1887 the tonnage touched the lowest point 94,400 tons. During the month twenty-cne vessels of 9,890 tons were launched, being sixteen steamers of 4018 and five sailing ships of 5,872 tons. Even in comparison with the past months of the present year there is a very decided decline. January had 11,170 to its credit; February, 14,020; March, 13,126; April, 18,860; May, 18,157 ; June, 18,592; and now July has fallen almost 50 per cent —to 9.890. The follow- ing table, which we take from the Glasgow Herald, will show the tonnage in July and in the past seven months of the present

‘*AN ounce of prevention worth a pound of ” isan old adage but true. In view of pre“ictions that this country is liable to be visited by more than an ordinary amount of contagious disease this year, it behoves all to inquire about and practice every sanitary measure, especially cleanliness, which as a pre- ventive, offers some one means of escape at least; and in this how important the article of Soap as to quality fit for use; certainly all in- ferior grades made so by foreign substances and adulterations of a questionable charactar, should be rejected, that there may be no taint left on the person or clothes which might in any way invite the germs of these various Gis- eases. A first-class article, made by known reliable manufacturers, is the only kind that can be safely used or recommended. In the use of astandari soap, like the ‘‘Welcome,”’ made by Curtis, Davis & Co., there can be no risk, being the goods of a tirm whose name on soap is a sufficient guarantee of its purity.
