About eight years ago 1 got sore hands. It
commenced with 8 burning sensation on my

little white pimples on the skin, and felt
like twisting my fingers out of their sockets
I had high fever and cold chills, aad nights
I had TO walk the floor until fell asleep. I
got the CUTIoURA REsoLvENT and CUrIouRA
SOAR. The nails hardened up and peeled of,
and don't believe there is one of the first
nails left on my hands which are now cured.

watery blisters with terrible itching then a

was obliged to keep the first three fingers
of my little boys hand done up all the time,
as it was raw sore, beginning to extend
down toward the palm. We consulted three
different physicians, each certain length of

REMEDIES. I purchased CUT1CURA SOAP,
CUT1CURA (ointment) and CUTICURA REsoI-

began with them. Wen they cured that hand.

ITEMS ANENT OUR NAVY.

The oldest iron vessel is the Michigan,
built in 1874
A Captain in the navy ranks with a
Colonel in the army.
An Act of Congress in 1882 abolished
fiogging in the navy.
The BROOKLYN and the New York are
our armored cruisers.
The American navy has practically
all been built since 1883.
1t costs $500 every time one of the
big guns on board a ship is fired.
Battleships are covered with armor Of
nickel steel from five to seven inches
thick.
The boilers of the Iowa have a heat
ing surface Of eight acres and hold 80
tons OF water.
Five hundred and twenty-six men and
forty officers are required to man the
cruiser New York.
| A big battleship has on board an
electric plant capable of lighting town
of 5000 inhabitants.
Only so per cent of the enlisted men
| are Americans. and a smaller percent
age yet are native born.
! The 'grog" ration was abolished in
/ 1868, and since then the crew has been
forbidden to drink while on duty.
All of the cruisers are named in honor
! of cities, and the battleships, except
the Kearsarge, in honor of States.
| The Indiana could lie outside Sandy
| Hook and throw 1,200-pound shots into
! New York at the rate of four minute.
| Battleships are for the heavy work;
/ cruisers are commerce deStroyerS;
monitors are useful only for coast de-
fense.
Battleships cost from S2,5OO,OOO to
| So, $50, 900, and cruisers from 100000 to
S3,000,0O0. A good torpedo boat costs
over 100000.
The origin Of the Navy Department
may be said to date from October 13,
1775, when Congress authorized the
| equipment Of two cruisers.
The amount expended by the Navy
| Department in 1897 was $34 SCI ,546.
This is a larger sum than has been ex-
| pended in any year since 1866.
| Our battleships have a speed of from
10 to II knots an hour. Cruisers make
| 10 to "A knots, while the monitors can
| travel only five to seven knots.
| There are six Rear Admirals in active
service. The offices of Vice-Admiral
and Admiral are untitled, so there is no
| head of the navy excepting Secretary
Long.
The United States is the fifth naval
Power in the world. The navies of
Great Britain, France, Russia and Italy
rank ahead in the order named. United
States and Germany are about tied.
| The Iowa weighs nearly 1900 tons,
and as 20 tons is the average load of u
