WAsHISGToN, May 1.-THE armorclad ram
Kntahdin, it is said, has failed to reach expecta-

vessel by tho contractors several days ago. some
important changes may be necessary. These
may be made after experiments which have

succeed in getting the speed out OF the vessel

signcrs According to contract. the vessel was
to show speed OF seventeen knots, with an ex-
penditure OF $500 horse power.
On Wednesday. during her run. the ma mum
speed reached was 1928 knots. This was Sc
cured only by the extraordinary ,exertion OF
limit. The trouble is thought to be due to some
fault in the design. as at high speed the ship

partment has promulgated an opinion by the

chase as good a porterhouse roast as ever ate

DR.. Salmon said the cattle which are now COM

fever belt. Very few OF them are intended for
slaughter. and those that are so intended are
killed at once. All cattle pass a rigid inspection
before being admitted.

Some men become famous in

A brave deed, a great victory, a
grand invention, commands the
praise of the world.
We submit that had you never
heard Of Hoods Sarsaparilla until
you read the following statement
of Mrs. Edwards, you would say at
once:
"That one cure is sufficient to
convince me Hoods Sarsaparilla is
one of the greatest discoveries of
the age; it is indeed a wonderful
blood purifier" But

Yes, literally, thousands of them,

parilla has had marvellous results.

most remarkable cures in medical
history
