GUNLOATS SHIPPED BY RAIL
Steel Floating Forts for Use of Brit
ish Army ON the Upper
Nile.

While the British army is pushing its
way up the Nile valley, it is achieving
a most wonderful naval exploit. This
is the carrying of gunboats along with
the soldiers by railroad. TO take war
ships ashore and overland seems like
q comic opera campaign at first glance.
But it is really very serious and scien-
tific method Of waging war. These
gunboats, which are cut into sections
and loaded upon freight cars, will be
put together after the fashion of a
portable canoe and launched on the
upper Nile This is done TO overcome
that world-old obstacle, the cataracts
of the Nile. But these gunboats are no
wooden scow-like affairs, says the
Philadelphia Record. They are up-to-
date steel vessels. To carry one of
them requires a whole train of dozen
fiat cars. When put together they are
14O feet long, with beam of 21 feet.
Each one will carry an armament of
at least two, three or six-pound guns,
and several smaller machine guns. Yet
with this battery, formidable enough
to turn loose on the Arabs along the
river banks, these boats will draw but
one foot ten inches of water. They can
ly anywhere that canoe can go. They
are fiat-bottomed, with curved sterns
and turbine propellers, thus employ
ing every known device for operating
in shallow waters,

SEEDS, NOT FOOD.
President Mckinley Decides an Inn
pOrtant Point I'm Giving Aid
to Cubans.

After a consultation with the secre-
tary Of war President Mckinley has
decided not to send any more food TO
the starving Cubans at the present
time, but they will be furnished with
seeds with which TO raise crops and
make themselves self-sustaining
The commissary department is not
making any further effort TO feed
these people, and the wisdom of Civ
ing them food Is doubted, as, it is
claimed, it will have a tendency to pau
perize them. The president believes
ii would be much better to furnish
them with implements and seeds to
make them self-sustaining.
So much trouble was experienced in
landing the supplies carried by the
Comal that the plan TO feed the Cubans
has about been abandoned, and no
more food will be sent
The department does not know
whether the supplies on this ship were
fit for use when they arrived, as the
ship was driven from port to port, but
they were finally landed at Matanzas.

GIGANTIC HOSPITAL.

Maj Brown, who had charge of the
hospitals at Camp Wikoff, has re-
turned to New York city from Wash

TO superintend the building of an i'm
mense hospital building. 1t will be

at Montauk Point. 1t will be the
biggest building OF It's kind in the
world. The sick from Cuba and Puerto
Rico will be sent to the hospital in the
spring
Maj. Brown says ii will take 40 Off
GERS one month TO clean up all the
work connected with the general hos
pital since ii was established. Maj.
Brown said:
"The site has already been partly
approved by Lieut.. Durfee. the engi-
neer. a complete system of tiled
sewerage will be put in; that is the
first and most important point. The
house will be made of brick and wood,
and will be of most substantial char
acter.
"The capacity will be practically un-
limited and the apartments will be the
most complete of any hospital in the
world"

Priceless Pain

"If price can be placed on pain, Mothers
Friend is worth its weight in gold alleNi-
ator. My wife suffered more in ten minutes with
either of her other two children than she did al
together with her last having previously used
four bottles of Mothers Friend 1t is a blessing
to any one expecting to become a mother" says
a customer.
Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Carrni, ILL.,, to the Bradfeld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ca, the proprie-
tors and manufacturers of Mothers
Friend" This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines adj
vertised to do unreasonable things, but
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth. u
The liniment may be used at any q
all times during pregnancy up to thu
very hour of confinement. The earlier it
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
1t not only shortens labor and lessons
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin-N
ishes the danger to life of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in a con-
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.
Mothers Friend is sold by druggists
