MEDICAL.

Get rid of It, if you have Catarrh.
Don't merely relieve it for a time with
poisonous, irritating snufs and strong
caustic solutions. While you seem to be
getting help, you may be getting harm.
Stopped in this way, it's usually only
driven TO tho lungs.
But you can get rid Of it completely,
with DR.. Sage's CatarTh Remedy. That's
been proved over and over again, in
thousands of the most hopeless cases. By
its mild, soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, Catarrh in the Head and all
Catarrhal affections are perfectly and
permantly cured.
Some physicians will tell you that Ca
tarrh can't be cured, They mean that
then can't cure it. DR.. Sage's Remedy
can. And to prove that they believe it,
the proprietors of this medicine will pay
$500 for an incurable case OF Catarrh.

Our New NAVY.

The Naiotonomab the first OF the
seven new so-caIIed monitors ready for
sea, is a formidable engine Of war. She
may be described as a huge steel raft,
with Two bottoms and I16 water-tighl
compartments Her frame is Of cnor-
nous strength, ana she is supposed to BE-
strong enough to resist any vessel that
might attempt to run her down, and
even to practically proof against tor
pedoes. She is SO constructed that il
action she can sink herself so that only
eighteen inches of free board will be-
above the water. Her armament consists
of four teB-inch rife guns, which are
placed in low currents, cased with seven
teen inches of steele. They throw pro
jectiIes Weighing 800 pounds and have
a range Of nine miles, each shot requir-
ing IT5 pounds of powder. She has a
secondary battery, but it is intended for
purposes of defense only. Her weak
/
point seems to be her speed, which is
only ten knots, She can carry coal for
/ twenty days steaming, and is perfectly
safe and reliable as a sea boat For pur-
,,,,,..a u cJas. ueience, Tor which size is
designed. the Maintonomah appears to
to be admirably suited.
Two other ships on precisely the same
plan, the Terror and Monadnoek, are in
course Of construction. The puritan is
a yet more formidable craft, and when
she is launched will give US something
with which to make good this nations
words anywhere. She is $500 tons bur
den, viii carry four Pinch guns and
twenty Of smaller calibre. Her speed is
to be twelve knots She will have a belt
OF nineteen inches Of steel armor, ard
her currents viii have twenty-saven
inches Of steel.
In addition to these vessels there is
the great turret ship Monterey. now
building in San Francisco and So far adj
vaneed as likely to be ready for sea in
four months; tho great cruiser New
York, an 80OO-ton vessel, and eight other
cruisers, two Of them large size. These
with orr vessels now ahoat, viii make a
very respectable showing and place the
nation ID better position On a naval
point Of view than she has been in for
the Last quarter Of century.
