YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in adj
vanced years are realized by compare
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
Gus health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is letter from Mrs. j. c. Orms, of 22O
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that I
think your remedies are wonderful. I
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. can eat and
sleep we'll and am gaining in flesh. I
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled. for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia e. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred Thousand ailing
women during single year.

FOR MEMORIAL DAY.
What the State Commander Suggests for Its
Observance.

Commander Staufer, of the Penn
sylvania department of the Grand
Army of the Republic, has issued his
annual Memorial Day general orders.
He suggests as part of the obser-
vance of the day the attendance of
posts at church services on Sunday,
May 90. He also suggests that pastors
be asked to select texts illustrative to
these subjects: "The gain of Ameri-
can citizenship by the success of the
Union soldier" and "The unquestion-
ed and everlasting right of the cause
OF those who battled for the Union"
He suggests that the school children
be again asked to participate in
Memorial days celebration, that
everybody be interested in it, that Or
CARNATIONS other than military be
welcomed to participate, and that the
sacredness OF the day be observed.
He says Memorial day, while not
day of sackcloth and ashes, nor mourn
ing, nor fasting, should not be devoted
to frivolous pastime. 1t is a day for
the flag, flowers and communion with
the nations dead.

Army to the 'FRONT.'

With profound emotion the Ameri-
can people hear again the stern words
whose echo last died away IN our
country 33 years ago this April,
"Army to the front" At this word
OF command the army of a people
whose population numbers 100000
900 moves forward to make war on a
kingdom whose subjects, counting its
outlying islands, dependent colonies
and all, number only $4,000, 900. Our
country is rich and prosperous from
a generation of peace, Spain is ex-
hausted to the last few drops of her
llteblood by the Savage wars she has
been waglng to suppress her own
revolutlonist children.
Yet 1t is not war of aggression the
powerful country declares against the
weak one. In that admirable Joint
resolution which directed President
Mckinley to send the army and navy
to Cuba the statement rang out clear
and unmlstakable that the United
States had no intention or desire to-
ward possessing the island for itself
We seek only the paclication of Cuba.
and when that is accomplished the
will of the American people, express
ed through their congress, is to leave
the government and control of the
island to those who belong there.
Neither IS ours a war for revenge.
Even the awful crime of the blowing
up, at the instlgation of Spanish off.
clals, of the Maine IN the harbor of
Havana while on friendly visit there,
a dastardly act by which 200 brave
American citizens were hurled to
death, was not considered by our
government sufficient reason for
making war. Remember the Maine /"
will be the rallying cry of our sea and
land soldiers when they meet the
enemy, but it is not the casus belli-
lying behind the thrilling command,
"Army to the frontw
We have set ourselves right in the
eyes of the powers of Europe. We
have declared we do not want Cuba.
We have refrained from taking that
just vengeance for the loss of the
Maine to obtain which just vengeance
no European government would have
held back its hand an hour. We pre-
pare to drive the Spaniard from Cuba
because his further stay is "disgrace
to Christian civilization and cannot
longer be endured
Our army moves to the front on
crusade in the name of Justice and
humanity. No holier war was ever
undertaken. A dozen millions of loyal
Americans are at the command of the
president and congress to free Cuba.
That done our volunteer army will
melt away and rejoin the ranks of the
private citizens of peace loving
natlon.-E1.

The fitness of Chickamauga mill
tary park as gathering place for the
armies of the United States is notable.
1t includes IS square miles in the
grounds and will accommodate 5o,-
900 soldiers in camp. No spot in the
southeastern part of the country is so
convenient as point of mobilization
for the army. Railroads from every
direction lead to Chattanooga, 16
miles away, and regiments can be
quickly dispatched to any part of the
land. Supplies and arms can be for
warded rapidly both to and from the
place. 1t is one of the most healthful
spots in the Union, the scenery is in
expressibly grand and the historic as
sociations are those of which both
north and south can be proud, recall
ing the great battle fought on this
ground September I9 and 20, 1868.

The Indiana could lie outside
Sandy Hook and throw I2oo-pound
shots into New York at the rate Of
four a minute.
Those artists who show smoke in
their pictures OF naval battles are
wholly wrong. Smokeless powder is
used.
All of the cruisers are named in
honor OF cities, and the battleships,
except the Kearsarge, in honor Of
States.
The "grog" ration was abolished in
1868, and since then the crew has
been forbidden to drink while on duty.
Marines are the police on board
ship. Originally they were employed
to prevent mltiny among the sailors.
The guns of a battleship can carry
from six to twelve miles, hurling a
shot weighing half a ton.
Only sixty per cent. of the enlisted
men are Americans, and a smaller
percentage yet are native born.
Projectlles thrown by naval guns
are shaped much as the bullets shot
by the ordinary rifle.
A battleship has on board an cleo
trio plant capable of lighting a town
of 5000 inhabitants.
The boilers of the Iowa have a heat
ing surface of eight acres and hold
thirty tons of water.
Great Britain has 2o4 torpedoes
and torpedo-boat destroyers Uncle
Sam has only eight.
Five hundred and twenty-six men
and forty officers are required to man
the cruiser New York.
Battleships are covered with armor
of nickel steel from five to seven
inches thick.
We have four armored battleships
the Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts
and Texas.
A submarine torpedo boat to be
known as the Plunger is now under
construction.
AT present the total enlisted force
of the naval militia is 1910 officers
and men.
Behind the heavy armor there is a
padding of either corn plth or cocoa
husks.
1t costs $500 every time one of the
big guns on board ship is fired.
The Brooklyn and New York are
our armored cruisers.
Sailors are paid from So. 50 to
SI2.5o per month and board.
An act of Congress in 1872 abolish
ed tlogging in the navy.
The American navy has practically
all been built since 1883.

OUR NAVY BPTTOMIZED.
Facts About Our Sea Power Told in These
Paragraphs.

The United Statcs arc Tied With German,
for Fifth Place Powder Comes in Chunks
is Brown and Doesn't Smoke-Nc Grot
ana no Fiogging Now.
The United States is the fifth nava
power in the world, writes Frank Lee,
in the Chicago Tines -HeyalM. The
navies ofGreat Britain, France, Russia
and Italy rank ahead in the order
named. Germany and the United
States are about tied.
Our present effective fighting force
consists of four battleships of the frs,
class, one battleship of the second
class, two armored cruisers, eighteen
cruisers, fifteen gunboats, SIX double
turreted monitors, one ram, one dyna-
mite gunboat, one dispatch boat, one
transport and eight torpedo boats.
The Iowa weighs nearly $4,000
tons, and as twenty tons in the aver
age load of freight car and twelve
cars is good load for a locomotive
engine, it would take fifty locomotives
to haul the great steel structure.
The powder used is brown and in
chunks the size of a caramel. A charge
for the biggest guns weighs 500
pounds and is holsted to the breech
by derrick, the powder being sewed
up in burlap bags.
Armor plates are tested by firing
steel projectiles weighing from 100 to
1900 pounds at them from guns
charged with 500 pounds OF powder at
distance of about city block.
Our battieships have a speed of
from fifteen to seventeen knots an
hour. Cruisers make nineteen to
twenty four knots, while the monitors
can travel only five to seven knots.
The biggest guns IN the navy are
forty.nine feet long, big enough for
man to crawl into; four feet in dame
ter at their largest part and weigh
I35,5oo pounds or thereabouts.
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.
Barnacles form on the hull OF a
ship, impeding its speed. A six
months cruise will decrease the speed
Of ship fifteen per cent, and ii must
90 into dry dock.
Sixty-one merchant vessels belong
to the auxiliary navy. These ships are
subsidized and by contract must be
given to the United States on demand.
Some of the guns in the navy can
fire shot twelve miles, farther than
man can see, for the guns are aimed
and sighted by machinery.
The amount expended by the Navy
Department in 1897 was $34,5GI,546.
This is larger sum than has been
expended in any year since 1866.
In battle the woodwork and all
articles OF wood are either slowed be-
ow or thrown overheard lest the men
be injured by splinters.
The origin of the Navy Department
may be said to date from October 1s,
ITS, when congress authorized the |
of two cruisers.
The fastest vessels in the navy are
The torpedo boats Porter and Dupont,
each of which can travel 27.5 knots
an hour.
Battleships cost from $a,5oo,oo to
S3,75o,ooo, ard cruisers from 5000, )
300 to $1,000, coo. A good torpedo
boat costs over 100000.
Battleships are for the heavy work ;
cruisers are commerce destroyers;
monitors are useful only for coast
defense.
