Hi
OUR WARSHIPS.
The Different Kinds of Vessels That Com
pose the Navy.
There seems to be no good reason
why everyone should not know some
thing about the ships that are used
by our government to carry on war
or protect our shores.
War vessels are of various kinds,
each built for a specific purpose. We
have monitors, which are heavy boats
that sit low in the water. They are
heavily armored, and are provided
with powerful guns. They are not
very speedy, are of light draught, and
their primary purpose is to protect
the coast.
Then there are swift flying cruis
ers, whose business is to keep posted
as to the doings of the rest of the
world and to come to the rescue of
the battleships when needed. Cruis
ers are divided into classes—ar
mored, protected and unprotected.
The difference between the three
classes is in the armor plating and the
weight of the guns.
The armored cruisers have a heavy
nlatin? of steel to orotect, their en
gines and ammunition. The pro
tected cruisers are of lighter weight
and greater speed, hut less heavily
protected steel. The unprotected
cruisers have to depend upon their
coal supply for protection, as they
have no steel covering. They carry
lighter guns and have a much greater
speed.
The duties of the gunboats are va
rious. They are built to withstand
the high seas and also to ply the riv
ers. These may be sent to all parts of
the world. Gunboats are divided into
two classes—dynamite and powder—
being named for the kind of ammuni
tion they carry.
Then there are little torpedo boats
that in former years have done such
good service. These little boats,'as
their name implies, shoot or lay tor
pedoes. They are not built to with
stand shot and shell; therefore they
must do their work under cover of
darkness. The use of the searchlight
has caused the work of the torpedo
boat to become very difficult and dan
gerous.
The heavy lighting is done by the
great lighting machines which we
call battleships, which are also divid
ed into classes, called first, second
and third class. One of the best
known and therefore easiest de
scribed, is the Indiana, which has a
displacement of 10,288 tons, an ar
mor belt 18 inches thick and carries
1,599 tons of coal; it has a speed of
15.5 knots. This ship is supplied
with guns of the largest size, besides
rapid-firing gatling guns and two tor
pedo tubes. There are other ships of
this size and many but little smaller.
Then there are the great battering
rams. These are built to bump with
terrific force into any unprotected
part of the enemy’s ships. The ram
Ivatahdin has a ramhead of cast steel
extending back 11 feet in a vertical
line. This is supported by numerous
braces. A blow or ram from the
Katahdin at full speed is said1 to equal
a blow from a hammer weighing 2,000
tons.—N. Y. Herald.
Golden Silk.
Gold and silver silkarecomingfrom
South Africa. The fibers are spun
by two remarkable spiders of Ilhode
sia, and an experimenter has found
that the creatures may be reared in
captivity, and that the silk can be
utilized. The webs are stretched on
bushes and trees, often in a vast net
work. Both filaments have a bril
liant metallic luster and are very
fine and strong, the fineness of the
golden silk being about that of the
silkworm thread, but the strength
being much greater. A thread of
steel of the same size, in fact, has only
two-thirds the strength of the spi
der’s thread. The golden silk spider,
at least the larger of the two kinds,
exists in large numbers on the veld,
where it feeds on the common fly.
A Multitude of Pilgrims.
More than 40,000 pilgrims have
passed through the Suez canal this
year to Jeddah—a larger number
than ever before.
What We All Think.
Every man thinks he is very con
scientious in his work, but wonders
how other men hold their jobs.—

.......
HIS matter is so relative, so individual, that its j
intelligent discussion is possible only by select
ing some definite viewpoint. Consequently, let
us look at it from the very practical and respon
sible one of the publisher.
How is the publisher to draw the line be
tween the moral and the immoral book? He
cannot, so far as measuring it by any definite
or established standard. Especially is this true
of the novel. With books of other kinds the
task of moral classification seems somewhat
easier.
Very soon, hoVever, the publisher uncon
sciously falls into the habit of making a classifi
cation of his own. He divides the novels which
raise the moral problem into two classes:
First, Those which are so strong in a lit
erary sense that he feels compelled to print
it_ TXT (’TiTfi'T' (XT* 'T'U'C'TTD tfD A MT/MTJCC
VilV.ni 1 1 lv V / I X Xii-yXAV A xvi w.1
Second: Those which contain situations so racy and suggestive
that he speculates upon the possibility that these will give the book
a commercial success in spite of the general lack of real literary
strength.
In one case the “badness” is merely INCIDENTAL, TO THE
POWERFUL HANDLING OF A BIG THEME. In the other,
the suggestiveness is the MAIN CONSIDERATION; IT IS “BAD
NESS” FOR ITS OWN SAKE.
There can be no escape from the conclusion that no publisher
is justified in putting out a book which must depend for its success
upon its su^gestiveness. On the other hand, some of the greatest
books in the world, those which have done most for human liberty,
contain an amount of plain speech vdiich surpasses that of the books
which are to be classed as vicious and harmful. Hugo, Zola, Tolstoi
and Ibsen furnish notable examples of TRANSPARENT FRANK
NESS, yet the foremost preachers and teachers of the day consider
the books of these masters PART OF A LIBERAL EDUCATION.
Therefore, let us put the problem in this way: A book in which
the suggestiveness is the overshadowing element is bad and unworthy;
but no responsible adult need hesitate to read a book which, in the
working out of a worthy theme, handles the delicate relationships of
ociety with great frankness.
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER
Cured by Pe-ru-na of* Systemic Catarrh.
An Interesting Letter From
Mrs. M. K. Bousch, of
Richmond, and Her Little
Daughter, Pearl.
Mrs. M. K. Bousch, Richmond, Va.,
writes:
•• I had catarrh all through my sys
tem for two years and could get no re
lief. / was advised to try Peruna, and
I have taken five bottles of It and am
well and better now than I have beenI
for years. / can advise any one who
has catarrh of any part of the body to
take Peruna. My little girl, who is
eleven years old had catarrh, but was
cured by Peruna. Before 1 began to
take Peruna / was sick all the time,
but now I am entirely cured and all
praise is due Peruna.”—Mrs. M. K.
Bousch.
Miss Pearl Bousch, writes: “When I
was a baby I contracted catarrh, and
I was doctored by several good physi
cians, but none did me any good. My
mother was taking Peruna at the time
and gave some of it to me, and I soon
began to improve, and am now well
[and fat as a little pig. I am twelve
years old. The doctors told mother I
had the consumption, but it was only
f catarrh.”—Miss Pearl Bousch.
| 11 is nolonger a question as to whether
[ Peruna can be relied on to cure all such
l cases. During the many years in which
■ Peruna has been put to test in all forms r
and stages of acute and chronic catarrh
no one year has put this remedy to
greater test than the past year.
Peruna is the acknowledged catarrh
remedy of the age. Dr. Hartman, the
compounder of Peruna, has written a
book on the phases of catarrh peculiar
g.o women, entitled, “Health and
■leauty. ” It will be sent free to any
address by The Peruna Medicine Co',
Sjolumbus, 0.
3 If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.

Have You Kidney I
or Bladder Trouble? I
The Case of Mrs- Nancy Ball. Sj
There are no diseases that more quickly and surely derange the entire constitution than n
Kidney or Bladder trouble, and it behooves every man and woman suffering from these diseases |gg
to have themselves cured at once. Tho body depends upon tho Kidneys to throw off tho waste
matter of the system, and when it fails to do this the result is an interference with digestion, a ®
sudden stoppage of the free circulation of the blood and a serious weakening of the heart. |gg
Also rheumatism could not exist if it were not for weak and deranged Kidneys. Igj
Mrs. Nancy Ball, proprietor of the Ball S
House.Columbia,Miss., says : “l was fora «
long time a (treat sufferer from dropsy M
