A Ship of War Made of Paper.
from the American bookseller

From the American Bookseller
A few years ago was on board the
British man-of-war, the Raleigh, which
was cruising in East Indian waters.
Pointing to the substantial-looking
wooden walls of the vessel, a midship-
man asked me one day if | knew what
those were made OF. / answered that
probably they were made OF teak or
oak, and was considerably surprised
when he laughed and told me | was all
at sea in more senses than one. "Ihe
hull of the Raleigh he said, ''is really
paper automatically pressed. Paper
walls in place of the famous wooden
walls of England that the poets sing
about were adopted by the admiralty
a few years ago as an experiment on
a few men-of-war. This is one ofthem
that you are now sailing inthrough the
Indian Ocean"

The Stories of Distress in West Virginia
The People Living on Parched Corn.
Information received from the suffer-
ing districts in West Virginia says the
people are in bad condition and on
the verge of starvation. They are
asking for bread Animals are starv-
ing to death. In many places strong
men are begging for an ear of corn to
keep soul and body together. The
condition of the farmers is distressing
In many parts OF the suffering section
many gain livelihood by running
timber, but for months there has been
no rise in the rivers or mountain
streams, hence the people are suffering
for food because no timber can be run.
Unless a rise comes soon, there will
yet De months OF suffering. The peo-
pie held out well, trying to keep the
story OF their suffering from going
abroad, but the time has come when
hunger pinches them, and they now
ask for food. In the northern part of
the county great suffering has been ex-
perlenced amOung mountain farmers.
Lumbermen saymatters are truly dis
tressing. Children and women eat
parched corn, when they get it, and
are thankful. The winter was severe,
and the people poor and with no work.
In many places stock died in large
numbers from starvation.

ANTICIP4TE TROTRIE.
The British Government Purchasing
Large Quantities of Arms

A London special of the 1st says:
The temporary relief caused by the
pacific talk OF the Marquis OfHarting-
ton Is almost wholly dissipated blythe
statement that Russia comedies no
single vital point at issue. The war
preparations are going ahead as brisk
ly as ever, and there is absolutely no
real reason to count on a peacefu
solution. The Birmingham Company,
which the government has purchased,
IS the largest rifle factory in England.
1t possesses patents on the Martini
Henry rifle. The company collapsed
on the conclusion OF the Franco Ger
man war. The purchase includes a
stock OF rifles valued at S75O.OOO. 1t
Is expected that several thousand
workmen will be started directly"

duet of Great Britain.
1t Is said at Berlin and Vienna that
the negotiations between England and
Turkey, for an understanding on the
Egyptian question, have fallen
through. England, believing the Al
CHAN crisis to be over, has withdrawn
the concession which she offered, when
she desired the alliance of Turkey
against Persia. 1t is reported that
the Sultan is incensed at England s
action to obtain his signature to the
Egyptian convention, and at Fehmi
Pasha's course in submitting to such
treatment without a protest. Fehmi
Pasha, it Is sad, has been recalled by
the Sultan. A dispatch from Teheran
says: The Shah OF Persia has sum
mOned Moshin Khan from CONSTANT
nOple to consult about Herat MOshin's
long residence in England qualifying
him as an authority. The Official
Gazette says that in the event OF war
between England and Russia, Persia
will remain neutral, conforming to the
policy OF Turkey.

HONEY OR BLOOD.
The Wives of Turkish Soldiers Make it
Warm for the Officials.

The Turkish government is in ar
rears to the soldiers for several
months pay, and on the LIST inst. the
wives OF the soldiers attempted to Sc
cure attention to their husbands de-
mands by appearing in force at the
office of the minister of finance in Con-
stantinOple. Bands of women col
lected to the number of 1000 or more
at a point near the building occupied
by the cabinet officials. At an APP
pointed hour they marched in a body
to the office OF the minister OF finance;
pushing past the guards, they entered
the Office, and confronting the minis
ter, they demanded the pay due their
husbands. Policemen We're called in,
and tried to expel them, but thewomen
turned on the officers and forced them
to retire. The finance minister made
a plausible excuse for the delay in
paying the men. The women declared
this answer unsatisfactory, ard made
rush for him. He, however, escaped
by jumping out of back window.

Develops a Horrible State of Affairs
\ Philadelphia dispatch of the 31st
says: 'At the corOner's inquest this
afternoon on the body OF Alice Kirk,
aged 25, OF Pottsville, who died in the
house OF Mrs. Maria NJ Hoepfner, of
this city, it is shown that the deceased
came to the house in perfect health
and Mrs. Hoepfner performed a
criminal operation, causing the girls
death the next day. Several women
swore that operations had been per-
formed upon them, and it was also
shown that children born in the house
mysteriously disappeared. Twins
born healthy were found dead an
hour later. One witness swore that
the daughter of the prisoner, now in
New Mexico, told her that the infants
were burned in a furnace. Mrs. Hoepf-
ner was committed. +"

The Most Precious of Gifts.

health is undeniably more precious gift than
riches. honor, or power Who would exchange
1t for these, the chief objects of human ambi-
tion? II is obviously the part OF wisdom to en-
p!oy means for the preservation of health and
the prolongation of life which time and expert
ence have proved to be reliable. Many of the
dangers by which health is threatened may be
nullihed by the use of that most irresistible of
corTectives and tOnics, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
rs which, by increasing vital power and rem
derlng the physical functions regular and act
I've, keeps the system in good working order,
and protects it against disease. For constipa-
ton, dyspepsia. liver complaint, nervousness,
kidney and rheumatic ailments, and neuralgia,
1t Is invaluable. and it affords a sure defense
against malarial fevers, besides removing every
trace of such disease from the system. Half a
wineglassful taken before meals improves the
appetite, and insures complete digestion and
assimilation.

Workers in German Silver.

A Walhngford, Ct, correspondent
writes to the Hartford Times that a
popularity of a worker in German sill
yer spoons is the color of his hair.
Years of labor in the trimming or buf-
fling room of a spoon factory dyes the
hair OF the operative a pale green,
which it takes years to change. Aside
from the disagreeable and remarkable
dye, the manufacture is extremely
dangerous. The principal part OF the
composition of German silver is cop
per. The fine emery wheels used in
trimming and shaping the spoon fill
the air with minute particles of this
noxious poison, that soon fills the
lungs and causes a disease similar to
consumption. To escape this a
sponge is worn over the nostrils OF the
workman.
