The news th<*t the first-class cruiser Crescent had been ordered to tha Aits tralian station comes THE AUSTRA- as a surprise (s*yg OAK STATIOM. the Melbourne Ar gus), and naturally provokes conjecture. Australia has not asked for a vessel which co greatly in creases the fighting power and also the h©a?y annual cost of the Imperial squadron in these waters, She ia right welcome; and yet the question arises, Why is she sent? People will be apt; to connect this reinforcement of the Admiral on England's most distant station with recent news of an increased strain in the relations between Great Britain and France. Feeling between the two countries is evidently becom ing more and m re embittered j and, Although it ia not necessary for us to MHume that there k any real danger of 10 deplorable a calamity as a war between the leaders of European civili ■ation, yet the Salisbury policy from firtfc to last has been to be prepared. Supposing that the calamity occurred, ire know ia what way the French would strike. The blow would fall on British commerce. The endeavour would be to render the import and ex .port trade of the Empire uncertain, and ■o to send up prices and to atop orders. Hungry mouths and idle workshops would, it is hoped, paralyse Great Britain. The British Admiralty has worked the situation out to its utmost detail. At the Jubilee demonstration it was said that every one of the as sembled vessels had its war post, either to cover the British coast or to protect the trade routes, and it may be that the Crescent is one of a number of cruisers which are quietly proceeding to their appointed places. Given the misfor tune in question— the misfortune which we hope never to have to record—and probably our .Australian trade would abandon the Suez 0»nal and the Mediterranean, and wou'd use the deep lea route via the Oape. It is a long stretch from Australia to South Africa, and in an emergency the guard would certainly need to be strengthened at both ends.

A YIOTIM OF Functional Disease. XXIdAUIII 6UC i, a predicamenb. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is '* A friend in-Eeed and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxtjm, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renew* ing the energy Alaxtjm is the beat. Its secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation haveteeti* fled not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the faot that the cure latt*. No care is required while using it. It doei not interfere with the diet, habits or occu pation, and produces no inconvenience in its action. It ia at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonic, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press m the most valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the public in a popular form, ALAXUM ™™ Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizzfneu Costiveneas, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Fains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the system of nutrition NOTE THIS WJQLL- The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange ment or weakness the organs of the body may- perform their functions or their work sluggishly, thus giving rise to want of appetite, and a consequent general impover ishment of the whole being. Such a con dition causes thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they ace really only in need of a remedy to sco she organs of the body working harmoniously. Reason points to two essential qualities in a. remedy for this purpose. It mast create an appetite for food, and at the same time. assimilate its nutriment. With either of these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it become! a power with incalculable good. Alaxum is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts' directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting them to activity. The system then receives nutrl* tion and new life from the prcper assimila* tion of the food; and where there is no organic disease health must follow* ThU is common Bense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom* mended to be " just as good.' :It may be better — for the dealer —because of its better profit, but in such an instsnoe the dealer ia not the one who needs help.

" A report comes from the district of Wagunyah, N.S.W., of a settler and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking of their evening meal. In searching for the cause, sus picion fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one pound tin in use was analyEed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic acMl, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of 8a ts in welding the parts of tin together. The analyst warns consumers that tea packed in small tins, owing to its very absorbent natura, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed in lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment.
