The readers of this paper " i'll be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Cstarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical frater-
nitv. Catsrrh being a constitutional dis.
ease, requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system, thereby des-
troying the foundation of the disease
and giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting ma :
ture in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow
ers that they offer One Hundred Dollars

giraffe, which contains only the same
number of vcrtebral articulations as in

THE CLEANERS CHIMNEY.
Some Details of interest Regarding
Its Construction and Use.

The stroller along the whanCS who
should sec rising from the smokeStack
of Dig steamer a small. and at the
start perfectly defined, cOiulun of
smoke, which seemCd to come from a
small smolcpipe within the big one,
might wonder if the great smokcstack
was filled with smaller stacks, one for
each boiler. As a matter of fact il is
not so filled; but there is within il one
smaller smoicpipc, called the donkey
stack, which is the. chimney for the
boiler of the donkey engine, which is
used when the vessel is in port in hoist
ing cargo in and out. II is from this
pipe that the small column of smoke
is seen to issue.
The donkey stack is placed some
times against the forward inner SIDE
Of the big stack, sometimes against the
after inner side. 1t may be "A complete
pipe, or il may he formed of iron in the
shape of half a pipe, with flanges riv-
eted to the main pipe.
If a single one of the larger boilers
were used, as it might be when the ship
is in port, il might be connected with
the donkey stack, but in their regular
and common arrangement and use the
uptakes of all these boilers run into
the great chimney, whose hole inte-
rior is open, except for the braces run
ming across it to strengthen and sup
port it.
The chimncys of all large steamships,
however, and of many other steam YES
sells as well, are built double, with an in
ner and an outer shell. with a space be-
tween varying according to the size
of the vessel: it may be from five TO
ten inches. The primary purpose of this
chamber around the smokestIck is to
afford ventilation for the enrine room
and the stoke hole. In at least one
modern passenger ship ventilating
pipes from the passenger quarters
have been carried to these chambers
incidentally the space between the
shells helps to keep the stnck Si@htlr.
for, thus constructed, the chimney is
| cooler on the outside than il would
| otherwise be. and so il holds paint the
better.-N. Y. Sun.
