SOAP TO LAUNCH A SHIP.
Infinite Amount of Trouble 1t Takes
to Get a War Vessel Into
the Water.

The launching of little torpedo
boat is comparatively easy, and the
cost is not over few hundred dollars,
including flowers and souvenirs and
even the bottle of champagne used
in the christening. But when it comes
to a big armored cruiser or first
class battleship the actual expense
seldom falls below 1000 or SIS, 600. The
building of the ways for the ship to
slide down over is the main item, and
then comes the greasing. Every inch
of timber over which the vessel slides
must be covered with a lubricant. Diff
ferent firms use different substances,
but soap and tallow form the main
ingredients of them all. Cramps use
layer of beef tallow and a layer of
soft soap and, taken altogether, from
half-ton to ton is required to put
a move on the average battleship. The
tallow is spread on first. to the depth
of about three fingers, and the work
men use big, fat trowels to make the
surface as smooth as possible. Then
they pour over the soft soap, which is
just thick enough to run. Or about the

As a general thing, this double coat
ing answers the purpose admirably
and the ship glides into the water as
If it was sailing on air, says the New
Orleans Times-Democrat If it sticks
as has happened in few cases, it is
likely to spring some of the plates, and
accidents of that kind are so costly
that nothing is spared to avert them
Moreover, sailors are very supersti-
tious about launchings, and. if any
thing goes wrong, the ship is regard ed
as unlucky, something greatly dreaded
by all officers. Several years ago Chi
cago packing house got up a special
preparation for greasing ships ways
and sent a quantity of it to a firm in
Maine to demonstrate it's merits. 1t
was made from the refuse Of the rem
dering house and had an odor that
seemed strong enough to lift man
of war clear off its bearings. The firm
tried it on small merchant ship which
it had ready to launch, but instead cd
| showing any of the qualities of a
| lubricant it acted more like glue. The
| vessel stuck fast on the ways and had
| to be pulled off with jacks. That was
the last ever heard of the preparation
and the Chicago folks dropped the
scheme. What is left of the soap and
tallow after a launching is carefully
scraped off and sold. It is used for
making axle grease.

NONORESSMAN BOTkIN is one of
the most influential and best
known men in the State of Kansas.
whatever he may say on any subject
will be accepted by the people as the
truth. So famous remedy as Peruna
could not have well escaped the atten-
ton of so famous man. He not only
has heard of the remedy, but he has
used it and was relieved of an affection
of twenty-five years standing. Peruna
is the one internal remedy that cures
chronic catarrh. 1t cures catarrh
wherever located. This is fact that
the people are rapidly finding out, but
there are still a large multitude who
need to know it.
- Mr.. Frank Richter, of Winona, Mimi.
says in a letter to The Peruna Medi-
cine Company:
LAS remedy for catarrh I take
pleasure in recommending Peruna for
catarrh of the stomach. know what
it is to be afflicted with this awful dis
ease and consider it my duty to say
word in behalf of the remedy which
gave me such relief. Peruna cured me,
and know it will cure anyone else who
suffers from this disease. 1t gives me
great pleasure to testify to the cura-
tive effects of this medicine. Peruna is
well tested and frequently used rem
edy, and for catarrh of the stomach is
unsurpassed.
MY catarrh was principally located
In my head and stomach. tried MANY
remedies without success. tried sew
eral doctors, but they were unable to
cure me. read of Peruna in the pa

The gastric juice is secreted by the
mucous follicles of the stomach.
When this juice is normal it digests
(dissolves) the food without produc-
ing any disturbance whatever. If,
however, the gastric juice is not nor

known as indigestion. Peruna will
cure this.

INDIAN MISSIONARIES STORY.
Years of Toilsome Ministry Among
the ChOctaws.

Little York, Ind, April 2 Especially
twenty-five years ago, the Rev. c.
Fl. Thompson left Indiana. For a
time he preached in Arkansas, after
wards entering on the regular mis-
sionary work among the Choctaw In
1ians.
For five years, he lived and labored
among the full bloods of the western
orairies, until on April 5th, 1885, hav-
.ng lost his wife, he left the circuit
On which he had preached so long,
and commenced travelling missionary
work among the Indians of the vari-
Gus Tribes scattered in the West.
This irregular work involved a
great deal of travel over the prairies.
The drinking of so much alkali wa
ter, brought on Kidney Troubles
which terminated in Diabetes.
Finally, while laboring among the
Creek Indians at Wagner, Indian
Territory, this noble man was strick-
en- down completely. A Chicago Spe-
cialist was summoned, and after a
careful examination, declared that
there was not the slightest chance
OF his recovery. Besides the pre-
scriptions of the doctors, he tried
many other medicines, but all to no
avail. He says:
81 had concluded that my days
were drawing to close, when l
picked up an Almanac telling of the
cures of Diabetes by the use OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills. I sent for two
boxes. 1 gained strength and spirits
from the time / commenced to use
them, and so sent for more. I am
now completely cured, and have not
the slightest symptom of my old
trouble.
81 am 6s years of age. tell every
body of the wonders Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done for me. can certain
" endorse them heartily, and vouch
that they are all that is claimed for
them. They have certainly been n
God-send to me-"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only
Remedy that has ever cured Bright's
Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy and they
never fail.
