The "katahdin" Rejected.

The coast defense ram "Katahdin,"
built by the Bath Iron Works, has been
rejected by President Cleveland. This
concludes executive action in the matter,
and the cost of the vessel will be a total
loss to the contractors unless con-
gressional enactment in the case can be
secured.
Gen Hyde, the president of the works,
who was informed of the presidents de-
cision Saturday, has taken time by the
forelock, and bill providing for the
purchase of the "Katahdin" by the gov
eminent has already been introduced at
his instance by Senator Hale, OF Maine.

We know OF but one community in the

Lebanon, n. Y. These good people have
been studying the subject Of digestion for

understand it pretty thoroughly, is evil
denced in the foregoing fact. Their Di-
gestive Cordial is the safest and best rem
edy in cases of indigestion that we know
Of. A trial bottle can be had through
your druggists for the trifiing sum of ten
cents.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies
the system with food already digested,
and at the same time aids the digestion
of other foods. 1t will almost instantly

GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS.


In the government appropriations rec
commended by Secretary Carlisle, the
good results obtained at the fish com
mission stations at Green Lake and
Craig's brook have been recognized, as a
considerable increase in appropriations
for their maintenance is requested.
At Green Lake station it is asked that
the superintendent's salary be increased
from q, 800 to 81 500, and $500 is asked for
fish culturist in lieu OF a foreman, who
is now paid a salary of ESQ, besides S720
for an assistant fish culturist III lieu of a
fish culturist at 1850. An appropriation
is asked also for two laborers at $40 each
in lieu of one laborer at $3.50.
The same increase is asked for in the
salary OF the superintendent at Craig S
brook station. Similar changes are asked
for subordinate officers, except that in
stead of an assistant fish culturist a
skilled laborer is asked for at S720 year
and two laborers at $40 each.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1895-02-11

So this great wall was stretched along
the border between China and Mon
golia in order to keep out the formida
BILE invaders from the north. 1t Is
probably the only instance in history
where the precise boundary between
two countries was for ages marked
by stone wall. The wall, or Its ruins,
may still be traced from the gulf of
Liaotung, at the northern extremity of
the Yellow Sea, far over the plains and
mountains nearly to the western limit
of China proper.
1t was colossal work and ranks with
the grand canal of China and the pyra-
mids Of Egypt as among the most stu
pendous of human achievements. 1t
has length of over 1000 miles, count
ing the various sinuosities and the dou-
BILE and triple walls built in a few
places, notably to the north of the prov
inces of Pechili and Shansi. When we
consider that this wall had an ayera ge
height of about thirty feet and mean
width Of about twenty-five feet, and
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1895-02-11

A great many writer's have spoken of
this wall as great waste of human
energy. This is n mistake. 1t is GER
tain that the wall was worth to ancient
China far more than it ever cost her.
From military point of view it proved
to be of prime Importance. There is
no doubt that for some centuries the
hordes of Mongolia We're stopped on
their war expeditions at the foot of this
wall which marked the southern edge
of their land, for the wall was nothing
more or less than an immense fortifi-
cation, the greatest the world ever saw.
and there were plenty of Chinese sol
diers to man it. Scattered all along the
top of the wall We're sentinels within
communicating distance of one another,
and no enemy could approach without
these sentinels signalling the fact all
along the frontier Every gate in the
wall had its garrison and every noun
tain pass throught which the wall was
built had its military camp. Towns
were built and agriculture developed

Vast Armaments of Europe.

Thirteen million bayonets prop up
the Cars throne. That is the full
strength of the Russian army on war
footing. Germany comes next, but af-
ter a long interval, with 100000 sol
diers; Italy has 3,155,0O0 and France
2,ooO, 900, excluding 100000 auxiliaries.
Austria's fine army, which in quality
is reckoned scarcely second to Kaiser
Wilhelm's, contains maximum of L.
794,17 men. England at home and in
her colonies can mobilize force of
662, 900. The little martial republic of
Switzerland can summon 4S6,000 sol
diers to her banners in an emergency,
and even poverty Spain boasts
of 100000. Austria, of all the powers,
has the most burdensome military es-
tablishment. Her annual expenditures
on her army are S255, 100000, while
Russia's, with an army seven times as
large, are only S1S6,000,000, and Ger
many's S113,000,000. In proportion to
size, England's army is perhaps the
most costly. Her 662 900 men require
$S9,O00,O00 annually for their support,
or only $3S,000,000 less than the
amount which provides France with an
enormous host of more than four times
England's numbers.-Boston Journal.

Thieves in Naples Sewers.

There is band of thieves in Naples
which, like rats, frequent the under
ground sewers and bore their way into
shops for the purpose of robbing tills
and goods. Not long ago a leather
dealer, on unlocking his warehouse,
found large hole in the flooring, and
skins and money gone to the value of
5000 francs. He called the police, and
several of them, together with some
sewer men, penetrated to the dark
vaults, slipping and sliding along the
mud of the sewers and with n single
lantern. They had not gone far when
they discovered man and called him
to stop. But with a cry, "Madonna!
Don't kill me-" the man fed along the
sewer, the people firing after him and
following him for at least a mile, pass,
ing under three or four streets, but
without success. The police are now
watching the sewers like cats, but there
are many escape holes.-London Daily

along the wall in order to supply the
needs of the soldiers, and this fact in
itself was a protection to China, as il
increased the density of population
along the frontier. For fourteen cen.
turtles the wall helped to protect the
empire from its northern foes. Then
came the great conqueror of Asia,
Genghis Khan, who forced the mighty
rampant China had reared, and from
that day the wall ceased forever to be
Of any strategic value.
For long stretches the wall has now
almost entirely disappeared. Millions
of tons of material have been torn from
1t to serve the purposes of the nearby
inhabitants. The mere wear and tear
of the ages alone would have toDpled
much of 1t in ruins. The time was
when 1t was crime punishable with
death to so much as scratch it with n
pin. Yet it is doubtful if to-day much
of the original wall is left. What is
now seen of 1t is the patchwork of the
centuries during the time when the
wall was China's great bulwark to the
north.
