This agreement was not pieasinzg to Germany or AIIs‘.I'ia, bfth oi which ‘have been looking for railwiw rrn- icessions through Asia-Minor of Per- , sin or both, to give overland connec- itionwith the Persian Gulf. Turkey Fwas also jealous of the new arrange- lment. The German Emperor has for _latter hos now found some pretext for quarrel with Persia and has mov- ,cd troops toward the western Pér~ [sian border, Now, we are told, Rus- f sis is sending an army of sixty 'thou- lsnnd men to the northern border oi lPersia, to protect her interests. ‘ The situation is grave because the lconcert of !lrst~class European pow- ‘era, which have fixed the status of i'I‘urkey and claimed to control its Wloings, is now divided in its coun- m, af--ie. __-~-_fs _E`__ _Q Wl£liNl_~lSl)A\` FEB ii).

More' probably what is taking place is n manoeuvering for advantage a- iinong the powers which may end in a ipeaeeiul readjustment. 'l‘he bistc-ry of the Eastern Question has been ‘fruitful of wars and commotioas, but ioften the wnr clouds have numbered 1anLl been dispersed ' by 'the winds `without harm when they 'appeared most threatening. i SEED CATS -FOR THE WEST. 1 It was an entirely reasonable pro- ,posnl put forward by the members ,tor Queen’s County in the House of ,Commons that a portion at least of ‘the vast quantity of seed outs to be purchased by the Dominion for the supply of the settlers in the North- west should be procured in Prince Edward Island. No better oats are grown in the world than the Island ,produces. The crop here was abun- idnnt last year and il the Govern- ment is to bliy oats this Province ‘should not be overlooked. As to ltransportation the objection put for- ,ward is absurd. Government rail- ways on the Island, Government -stenmers in the straits and a Govern ment railway all the way to Mon- .treal ought surely to be able to _carry the grain forward. l Surely it' is _not coming to this ,that the Government is discrediting .its own railways and streamers. If iso what has become of the pretense [that we have constant und etleclent ‘steam communication with the Main- ,lund ? The means for transporta- 'tion are by no means what they 'ought to hc, and there is no hope oi’ ,much improvement till we get the i’l'unnel, but this year the winter boats have been running with some degree of regularity, and if the Gov- ,crnment is willing to buy our oats' and forward them the trick could be done. -The one thing most wanting seems to be that first and all-impor- tent requisite a wlllin mind » K - soninriuo sr/Iii, onniiins. In connection with the mail order business transactions in Guardian learns that s agents are employed, inee by Erma in western this Prov- cities, The number of notably in Queen'e and King's Counties. solicit- ing orders from customers for these mail order houses, and that these agents pay no license, while the com- mercial travellers from abroad, who sell to our 'merchants are not per- mitted to do business without first paying a license fee of $20. This is manifectly unfair to the wholesale houses on the mainland who are trying to do a legitimate business here, unfair to the com- mercial _trevellers who pay the license fees, and especially unfair to our local merchants whose business is taken away by unfair competi- tion. Clearly the solicitors for mail orders ought to be made to pay if the commercial travellers' tax is to be continued. The attention ofthe Government is directed to this mat- ter. _ Wumanlv_TmulI'es uid Not Be Allowed to Under- Iniiie Health. It is impossible to go into details on this subject but the experience of many n poor woman who is crippled for life, just because she didn‘t use u good remedy in time should be a warning to others. When the first stages oi woman- hood appears in I1 young girl, a great deal depends in getting her over this critical stage, so in years to come she will not develop green sickness or consumption. , When she complains of flushed face, headache bearing down feelings, give her a course of Ferrozone which will carry her past the crisis. ln the adult woman if any irregu larities occur, Ferrozone will be found a remedy of remarkable pot- ency and power. _ Ferrozone is the ideal regulator and causesvall organs of the body to perform their work properly. It .piirifies the blood, tones Ilp the nerves and vital energies. The stom- ach is strengtbenbd, and digestive and nssimiiatlve processes are im- uroverb by the good work of Ferro. zone, It regulates the bowels, cures constipation andfpiles, and replaces disease and decay by health and strength.
