is utterly doubtful whether the gentle

the full meaning Of the words. They
probably meant "a modern Cannon

evil as the former.

cate of any kind had ever been required Of
female applicants The idea of requiring
any medical certificate from female appli-
cants first emanated from two representa-
tives of your department in a letter to the
commission dated March 13, 1901. The fol-
lowing Is an extract from that letter:
In reply to your request for an ex-
preston Of our views in regard to a gen.
eral plan whereby all male eligibles may be
carried on both the clerk and carrier regis
ters, we would state that the adoption of
such plan would, no doubt, reduce the
temporary appointments under rule to
hearty approval, provided
9 That properly executed medical cer-
tificate be required of all applicants for
now furnished by all male applicants in the
hfty-three large Offices
ut Is noted that the statement as to re-
quiring a medical certificate from all ap-
plicants female as well as male does not
refer nor reply to anything contained in
the commissions letter, but comes as an
original proposition.
'.The idea of requiring medical certifi-
cate from female applicants was next pro-
posed by the Postmaster General in a let
ter to the commission under date of June
Z, 1901. The following is an extract from
that letter.:
Il have the honor to acknowledge the

tive to the advisability of changing civil

'In accordance with these repeated prop

required the medical certificates from fe-
male applicants for the position Of clerk In

A GREAT PEACEMAKER,
The United States Has the Largest
Piece of Ordnance.

Piece of Ordnance.
From the Cincinnati Tfmes-Star
The largest gun in the world has just
been completed at Uncle Sans gun shops
at Watervliet. 1t is Of 16-inch caliber and
weighs 130 tons-more than twice as much
as the big 13-inch rifles carried by the
Oregon and Indiana at Santiago. It's esti-
mated range is twenty-one miles
There was a day when such a monster
as the new rife at watervliet would have
been placed on board battle ship at once
and the much burdened vessel thereupon
considered a most dangerous warship
England once tried 105-ton guns on her bat
tie ships. The weight and clumsiness OF
the great weapon. however, to say noth-
ing of their cost, were too great, and today
more of them on naval vessels, instead OF
a great battery concentrated in a few gi-
gantic but unwieldly rified cannon.
The United States never went further
than the installation of elton 13-inch ri-
hes on its battle ships, but even these wea-
pons are now considered too large, and
have been left out Of account In the bait
teries of Uncle Sans new sea fighters,
their places being taken by the lighter ard
more efficient Pinch guns.
The 16-inch rife just completed at Water
viiet was planned ten years ago. In the
days when such monsters were the fad
among naval-and sometimes military
men. It was intended for use In the de-
1euse Of New York harbor, and will dount-

Hook On shore a gun of such great pro-
portions may prove of considerable value,
although it's usefulness. even under favor
able conditions. has yet to be proved.
Meanwhile Uncle Sam will continue to rely
of his coasts.
A 16-inch gun looks formidable, and its
description brings up interesting possibili-
ties before the minds Of foreign naval OFF,
GERS, but so far as practical work Is con-
cerned the II and 13-inch guns are prob
ably good enough. At least this is re-
puted to be the opinion Of various Spanish
seamen who had good chances to Judge Of
their effects on a certain Sunday morning
OF Santiago more than three years ago.

Cascarine The Household Tonic
Laxative.
Mrs. James Mckay gives the fol-
lowing testimony as to the quality of
the laxative tonic, Cascarine: ''All
mothers know the difficulty in trying
to make children take medicine. It
is black day for the little ones when
their stomach is out of order and
they have to take those nasty remedi-
dies which stick to the throat and
leave a bad taste in the throat and
leave bad taste in the mouth all
day long, for when these medicines
are taken into the little ones stomach
they grippe terribly and causes much
annoyance. I tried several laxativess for
family use until was about to give
up in despair. At this time a friend
told me what Cascariue had done for
her children and as last resort tried
it. We have ueed it ever since. I
can honestly say that Casca'ine has
no equal. 1t is a pleasure in taking
and after taking. My advice to moth
ers is to keep Cascarioe as do, al.
ways on hand. It solves the problem
OF treating oh ldren's ailments and
will save you a great deal of anxiety
as we'll as worry many a time."
Cascarine is made from roots,
herbs, berks, plants aud berries.
Cures after all other treatments have
failed or money refunded. If your
complexion is muddy, your eyes yel'
low; il you are nervous, have slight
fever, feel mean, out OF sorts or it you
ar. constipstec and generally sick,
take Cascarine. It stimulates tho Sec
retions, improves the. appetite, dis
solves impurities from the body,
tp,urriR rs The blood and tones up the
system in general. No need of your
going to q doctor bills when you can
be CURED by the best prescription that
tho world has ever known. There 10
only one genuine Cascarine, It is .
liquid laxative and pleasant to the
taste and does uot interfere with the
most delicate stomach. Buy bottle
to-day at your druggists. Price, so
cents per bottle.
