His End Haafenad.

A colleague of mine tells me a story
Of Scotch newspaper with which he
was connected. A local celebrity was
dying by inches. His biography was
written. and in the early hours OF the
morning printers devil used to be
sent across to ask for the dying man,
so that the obituary might be thor
oughly up to date. Morning after
morning the boy asked the landlady
the same question. till he got angry
at having to make the fruitless jour-
ney. At last one morning he got des-
perate. rs that man nearly deid ?"
he asked. 'The papers gain to press
and We Gamma wait ony langer."-Lon-

Th@ OroEen's Voyage n Triumph fer An
snip nnd wonder for a nAstiesh,u. !
Monday. May 8. the Oregon left Ba-
Ma. and on the second night out pass
ed neet OF vessels which she believed
were the Spaniards. On May IA the
Spaniards were reported at Curacao.
20 1t is hardly possible that the Oregon
could have been near the enemy that
night. With all lights out, however.
she passed these vessels in the dark
ness. according to her orders, which
were to avoid all ships and make for
home" She put into Barbados, flying
Q yellow quarantine flag to keep on
inquisitive strangers, and within six
teen hours was of again, at full speed,
making 420 miles in twenty-four hours.
Upon receiving a dispatch announcing
her arrival at Barbados, the secretary
OF the navy had given out to the nation
that the great battleship was safe.
Jupiter Lighthouse. on the southeast
ern coast Of Florida, was signaled on
Tuesday, the oath, and again reported
the Oregon to Washington. Two days
later she anchored at Sands Key. on
Key West-safe at home, after the
longest voyage ever made by a battle
ship. And what was her condition
after her wonderful journey? Her
officers reported: "Al n good health;
everything shipshape; no accidents;
not even a hot journal" After a stay
at Key West long enough to fling the
coal into her bunkers, she Joined the
fleet They were drawn up in a wide
semi-circle. and she came sweeping
into the midst OF them at fifteen knots
an hour, like winner OF yacht race,
cheered by all the Jack Tars! AS the
Chicago Times-Herald says, her voyage
Is "a triumph for any ship, and a won
der for a battleship." Over $1,000
miles without a mishap. and ffty-nine
days at sea, through two oceans and

my during more than half the time
surely 1t is a marvellous record, and
one not likely to be repeated. Do you
know what 1t means? A battleship
has fully seventy machines on board,
run by 1877 steam cylinders. She is
an enormous fortress, crammed with
delicate and complicated machinery.
To build her, sail her, care for her and
fight with her requires brains, skill.
care honesty. fortitude-in short, all
the Christian and a few pagan virtues.

They Are Reliable

The American Farmer is sincere In
what it says and whenever it endorses
an article, be it machinery, proprietary
medicine, or a man individually, we
want our readers to believe that what
we say we have good reason to under
stand is tire. For a year or more
there have be N endorsements OF the
Swanson Rheumatic Cure Company, OF
167 Dearborn street, Chicago, by this
paper. People have written us to
know IL this company is responsible,
and If its remarkable remedies, for the
cure Of rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspep-
sia, catarrh. kidney troubles, ETC., real
ly had merit. We have therefore been
at extra pains to investigate, and once
again we add emphasis to our former
endorsement OF that company. There
may be isolated cases here and there
which, probably through neglect in fol-
lowing directions, or from exposure or
some unexplainable reason, the won
derful Five Drops remedy does not do
the work. But 1t is case where the
exception proves the rule Mr.. Swan
son is a gentleman of character and
personal integrity, and, we believe,
would no more attempt to deceive the
public than the writer OF this article.
They still offer to send a sample bot
tie of "5 Drops for Csc or a large
bottle, 300 doses, for 81, prepaid by
mail or express. Address as above.

Dress Cool in Philippines.

The mode of dress in the Philippines
is simple and cool in the extreme The
ordinary costume among the well-to-do
of all classes is made of white sheet
ing. A coat and trousers made to Or
der costs but 81. The coat buttons up
closely about the neck. A thick felt
hat Of broad brim, pair of white can
vas shoes, light under vest and socks
and there is your Philippine costume
all the year round. About eighteen Of
these suits are sufficient for a new
conner in ordinary standing, but he
must expect often to wear two a day.
