WHAT MODERN SAILORS FEAR.
Not Winds aRd Seas. hut an ExpIO-
sion Which Sinks the Ship.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Boiler explosions are the terror Of the
seafaring man. said an old-time deep
water captain, speaking of the frightful
disaster at the carbalineum works. Such
thing is bad enough on dry land but
imagine catastrophe of that kind at sea!
In ninety-nine cases out of hundred it
means the absolute wping out of The craft
itself and every soul on boards
The average iandsman would be greatly
shocked in looking over the maritime rec
ords to how many vessels disappear
each year and leave absolutely no clue to
their fate They run well up TO the hun
dred mark and such mystery is not to be
explained away by storms. A Chinese ty-
phoon may swoop down like lightning out
of clear sky and tear ship to pieces.
but some floating wreckage is sure to tell
the tale. A boiter explosion. on the con-
trary, will blow hole as big as a railroad
tunnel right through the center of the hull.
and the stricken vessel simply goes down
like a shot. There Is no time to unfasten
a boat from the Gavits or cut loose a spar.
In the opinion of Seamen that iS the
story of at least 30 per cent of the ships
that leave port and are never heard of
again. Luckily the modern system Of ma
r,ne boiler inspection is extremely strict
and thorough. but 1t is impossible To ahso-
lutely prevent carelesness and fraud, and
often enough, no doubt, the fraud lies with
the engineer.
There Is an old story of drunken
Scotchman who mistook the thermometer
for the steam gauge and 'cussed out the
stokers because he couldn't get the pres
sure above 80 That yarn will hardly hold
water. but I've seen cases almost as bad
1 am glad to say. however, that during the
past ten years there has been a steady dim
mutton of the number of vessels which
'mysteriously disappear That is due, be-
yond all question. to the increased strin-
gency of boiler inspection and the greater
strictness of examinations before a certih-
cate is issued to engineers. Nevertheless
there Is still considerable room for i'm
provement in boht branches.

IT WOULD APPEAR THAT LOCAL REMEDIES
WOULD BE BEST FOR CURE OF CATARRH.

IT WOULD APPEAR THAT LOCAL REMEDIES
WOULD BE BEST FOR CURE OF CATARRH.
1t would seem at first glance that catarrh being
disease Of the mucous membrane, that salves,
sprays etc. being applied directly to the men,
branes Of the nose and throat, would be the most
rational treatment, but this has been proven not
to be true.
The mucous membrane Is made and repaired
from the blood and caturrh is a blood disease, and
any remedy to make permanent cure must act
the blood. and when the blood is purified from
catarrhal poison. the secretions from the mucous
membrane will become natural and healthy.
In this climate thousands of people seem scarce
ly free from some form OF catarrh; ii gets
better at times. but each winter becomes gradu-
ally deeper seated. and after time the sufferer
resigns himself to 1t u necessary evil
- Catarrh almost numerous ca
tarrh sufferers. but nearly all 30 inconvenient
and Ineffective to render their use nuisance
nearly as annoying catarrh itself; any one who
has used douches. sprays and powders will bear
wttness to their Inconvenience and failure really
cure. -...-.
There are a number of excellent internal reme-
dies for catarrh. but probably the best and GER
tainiy the safest is new remedy. composed of
Eucalyptol Hydrastis Sanguinaria and other valu-
able catarrh specifics.
This remedy Is n tablet form, pleasant to the
taste and sold by druggists under the name Of
Stuart's CatarIh Tablets, and any suffering
from catarrh may these tablets with absolute
assurance that they contain no cocaine, opiate nor
any poisonous mineral whatever.
A leading druggist in Albany. speaking of ca
tarrh cures. says: II have sold various catsrrb
cures for years. but have never sold any which
gave such general satisfaction Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets. They contain In q pleasant, concentrated
form all the best and latest catafrh remedies and

One Way of Getting Even.
From the Philadelphia Record

There is a fellow in our Office who is q
chronic borrower said young man en-
ployed In a large Market street establish
ment, yesterday. He got into nearly every
body In the place before We all made up
our minds to stop lending. He has owed
me So for nearly year. but I'm nearly
square. although he has never paid me a
penny of it. That sounds queer, but 1t Is
the truth. I'll tell you how I've worked 1t.
Every once In a while one Of the fellows
will say: I'm going to make So-and-so
give me what he owes me next pay day or
know the reason why That's my chance,
and casually remark, I'll bet you quar-
ter you don't get IT. Usually the fellow
takes me up. and when pay day comes he
loses his bet. for So-and- SO never pays. In
small bets of quarters and dimes, luncheons
and cigars. l have nearly gotten back the
amount I originally loaned to the chronic
borrower"

the justices are mostly all Filipinos. and
the justices of the peace are all natives.
The commission says that the judicial sala-

not surprising, therefore. that charges of
bribery and corruption have arisen. The
commission hopes to reorganize the judi

establishment of federal court is not

stated to be adequate for the solution of
