The Battleshlp Oregon.

The Battleship Oregon has been
completed, and is now ready fo- her
trial trip. 1t is claimed that she is
the best fighting ship af1oat. She is
the first vessel to be built and COM
pleted since the Japan-China war,
wherefore ali the defects of the older
ships, as developed by that struggle,
have been remedied in-the Oregon. In
that war it is said more lives were lost
due to slivers set flying by shot and
shell from the inside woodwork, than
by the wicked proiectiles themselves.
In the Oregon the use of wood for the
inside finishing has been replaced by
metal. All the partitions are of sheet
steel. covered with cork. which dispels
the chilly appearance of the metal.
The navy department has set May 10th
as the date, and Santa Barbara channel
as the place for the official trial. The
vessel will be required to make fifteen
knots.

Whatever may be said about the
publications of Rev. LII r.. Hicks by
those who 90 not fully understand the
facts, there is no denying the truth
that his paper and Almanac have come
to stay. His splendid journal, Word
and Works, is now entering its tenth
year, largely increased in circulation
and in every way improved, until it
deserves the rational reputation it has
attained. His 1897 Almanac is now
ready and is by far the finest and most
beautiful he has yet issued. 1t con-
tains los pages, including cover artist
.ically printed In %colors, and is filled
from back to back with just what is
wanted In every shop. office and home
In America. One feature of the
Almanac for 1897 is a series OF IL
original, beautifully engraved star
maps, with explanatory chapters,
which could not be bought for less
than Eve dollars in any work on astron-
.omy. As Mr.. Hicks has correctly and
faithfully warned the public of coming
-droughts, floods, cold waves, billiards
;tornadoesH and cyclones, in the years
passed, aside from the other varied
and splendid features of his paper and
Almanac, these considerations alone
should prompt every family to sub
scribe at once for 1897. The Almanac
is OILY 25cts. a copy. Word and
Works is one dollar a year, and a copy
of the fine Almanac goes as a premium
with every yearly subscription. Write

Louis, Mo.
