SHAVING THE INDIAN FIGHTERS HEAD

They hired an old gun from farmer,
bought dollars worth Of powder and ball,

That was what the story paper called il
They went into the country roads and
searched the woods all through They
tramped five solid hours without stopping,
but did not see single Indian. They did
not find highway robber, a buffalo, or even
bad man who was carrying off lovely
maiden. No, they did not so much as meet
billygoat who baa-ed at them Nobody
wanted to fight any body or anything.
They tramped until their feet were bis
tered and they were tired almost to death.
Besides that they were awfully hungry. So
they stole back to the village where WiIlke
had had his hair shaved, and got dinner al
the hotel. 1t was good thing they were
not in a real Indian country, or there
wouldn't have been any hotel there Each
hoy ate as much as ever he could hold.
Then their ..,oney was all gone but thirteen

1t is of pattern invented by Nathan G.
Herreshoff, the blind builder of the Stiletto.
The figure with cone-shapsi top, a, repro
sents the firebox. 1t is 6 feet 3 inches
square Inside is system of tubing, which
Constitutes the boilers. Sets of the tubes
run alternately lengthwise and crosswise to
the yacht, the last set being placed cross
wise At the ends the tubing is bent into
U-shaped joints. The boiler consists, in fact,
of alternate layers of lengthwise and cross
tubes, connected together. The last layer is
only little above the fire. The boiler Is
fed from the top by pump. That which
goes in as water ciIculage3 all through the
tubes, gets hotter and hotter, and comes out
steam and boiling water below; in the
last layer. There it passe into separator
which is seen at b. One of the fire doors of
the furnace is open at C. The separator is
feet long, conical at the ends, as seen in
the illustration. In it the steam and water
divide. The water sinks to the bottom,
which is connected with the pumps, and
these return it to the boiler The steam
passes directly 10 the engine from the sepa-
rator. A blower is used, giving artificial
6raught.

All the large wooden sailing ships now on

however. is the Three Brothers, 3l5 feet long.
She was built in New York shipyard be-

In size of wooden sailing vessels there is

The engine is a compound condensing one.
1t has piston stroke of IL inches, u cut
OFF, and 3 cylinders, IL and 81 inches The
exhausted steam passes into a surface con-
denssr, and turns to water Thence it is
taken by the pumps into the boiler again
THUS there's one steady circulation of water
First it is fed into the top of the set of tubes,
thence it passes to the separator; thence the
steam goes to the engine TO the high and
low-pressure cylinders, and is used; from
that it passes to the condenser and becomes
water ready to be pumped back to the top
of the boiler tubes The water is fed into
the boiler constantly, and only in the needed
quantity, a little at a time. 1t regulates
itself. There is no need of ragfn.
fire to heat vast bulk of liquid at once.
This is the strong feature of the little Still
etto's engines. 1t has force of $50 horse
power, and yet consume only 900 pounds of
coal per hour. The saving in fuel is I'M
hoard of. Besides this, the boiler will be
always full of water, and there will be no
danger from explosion. The next point of
interest in this engine is lis light weight,
and the small space it occupies Steel is
largely used in its construction, and it
weighs only 4,275 rounds. The tubing
which constitutes the boiler has a heating
surface of 6l5 square feet 1t will safely

A Mothers L0ve-A Practical
Illustration of Its Power.

A mothers love What potent thing
it is 1t will melt the heart of the most
hardened criminal, when no other influ-
ence would be effectual. No one but a
mother knows its full meaning, but every
one can appreciate it if they will. 1t is
known, though, that it means sleepless
nights, care, inconvenience, and, If ne
cessary, want, hardship and death. But
the subject has been too eloquently
treated by the sweetest poets and the
ablest writers to furnish an essay for
these columns. Too many practical IL
Illustrations occur in every day life for it
to be dwelt upon, so that it is unnecessary
to speak of the subject further in order
to make the reader understand the full
meaning of what is to follow.
Mrs. Henry Schualen, of Ashland,
KY, writes that her daughter has been
cured of deafness which resulted from
chronic catarrh. She tells how she had
lost all hope of her daughter { her ideal J
being cured, and how overjoycd she is at
the result. After trying many remedies.
she says PERUNA brought a cure, and
that the daughters hearing is restored.
She concludes, by speaking in the most
flattering terms of PERUNA, and then de-
scribes in the most lovely manner the
happiness it has brought her, and reviews
the distress she experienced while her
daughter was afflicted.
