As Was Constructed by Hero. King 81
Syracuse.
The largest wooden ship ever built
was that constructed by Hero, king
Of Syracuse, under the direction Of
Archimedes. We are Informed that
Ptolemy Philopater had a ship ESQ Gu
bits long. 3s broad and 4S high. II
carried 1000 rowers. 400 sailors and
5000 soldiers. That which the same
prince made to sail on the Nile was Si2
feet long. 45 feet broad, with a mast
40 feet high. But that was nothing
compared with Hlero's ship. II had
all the variety OF apartments peculiar
TO a palace. banquetlng rooms. CALLER
les, gardens. FISH ponds. stables. mills.
baths. etc. It was encompassed with
an iron rampant and eight towers. with
walls and buiwarks. furnished with
machines Of war. particularly one.
which threw a stone OF 200 pounds on
q dart twelve cubits long. the distance
OF half a mile, Though the hold was
extremely deep. one man suflced to
keep 1t clear OF water, by means OF a
machine now called the Archimedlnn
screw. An Athenian poet made an
epigram on this superb vessel. for
which he was well paid. Hero sent
him 5000 bushels Of corn as a reward.
Hero, finding there was no port Of
Sicily capable OF harboring this vessel
in safety. resolved to make a present
Of It to King Ptolemy. and sent II to

"a large number of candidates the

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty
four hours; a sediment or settling in
dicates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys; if it stains the linen it is evil
dence of kidney trouble; too frequent
desire to pass it, or pain in the back
is also convincing proof that the kid
neys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney and
bladder remedy, fulfIls every wish in
curing rheumatism, pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. 1t corrects in
ability to hold water and scalding pain
in passing it, or bad effects follow
ing use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often during
the day, and to get up many times dur
ing the night. The mild and the ex-
traordinary effect of Swamp-Root is
o realized. Tt stands the highest
for it's wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases. If you need a medi-
cine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists in ffty-cent and one-dol-
lar sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root and a book hat tells
more about it, both sent absolutely
free by mail. Address DR.. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When writ
ing mention that you read this gener-
Gus offer in The Progressive Farmer.
Don't make any mistake, but remem-
Der the name, Swamp-Root, DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root, and the address,

COMPULSORY

Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.
The following lists are instructive,
showing the difference in the amount
of illiteracy in those States having
compulsory attendance laws and those
not having such laws. The figures
show the per cent of illiteracy among
the white population. 1t should be
remembered that these figures show
the per CEN only of the population
over ten years old unable to read and
write. There is no way of estimating
the vast difference in the real quantity
of education, but it is much greater;
for where nearly all can read and
write and the laws compel attendance
four or five months annually for six Or
eight years, the statistics for a higher
grade of education would show a still
greater advantage than the statistics
taken on the basis of mere inability to
read and write. 1t should also be re-
m~embered that in some of these States
the laws had been in force only a few
years before the taking of the census
on which the figures are based.
Some of the States having compul-
sorry attendance laws are Maine, 2.5;
New Hampshire, LIS; Vermont, 3.5;
Massachusetts, O.8; Rhode Island, 2.3;
Connecticut, I; New York, IS; New

nREFORM OR THE REFoRMA.
TORY.
Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.

Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.
I believe in reforming the young
and the old as well, but not in a re-
formatory or an asylum for criminals.
Why2
First, it comes in competition with
home trained boys. Are we to do away
with the home training of our boys
(Which it will do) by taxing the boys
that are at home to feed, clothe and
educate one hat is not worth a cent
to the community and only prepare
him to do his deVilment at my boys
expense or yoursQ 1t is an easy way
to get away from home, for the loafer
that is going the rounds that ought
to be at work. The best place to re-
form the loafer is in prison at some
work. Pass a law hat will stop loafng
and then you have the reformatory at
once. / am IS years old, have been
paying my taxes ever since I was
twenty-one to educate the boys and
girls of my county in free schools, and
it is freely paid. But to tax myself
and boys and neighbors' boys to build
a reformatory is more than 7 can do.
No, I will not vote for a man that will
spend my States money to do the
same.
2. 1t puts a premium on mischief.
Well, why9 The boy does something
bad and then is sent to the reforma-
tory and then you must pay 1925 per
year for some ones -carelessness. Tax
es are hard to pay nowadays,
3. Take it that I am a boy and get
in the reformatory. My neighbor boys
see my easy way of obtaining an edu-
cation and living in the shade and then
they will envy my place and do as I
have done; and here they come in
gangs until home is robbed of all the
life of boys and girls. For what9 To
do away with home, sweet home. Let
this continue only for awhile and all
the homes in this fair land of ours
will be filed with criminals prepared
at the expense of all homes.
4. It would make it easy to get at
being fed, clothed and educated. What
do I care for what / have to do there,
so I am cared for well? To reform me
you must treat me well or you will
make me worse.
5. I have seen convicts on the road
in my county that had an easy time.
Let the prison be a place of punish
ment for crime and then there will be
in it reform for him that is worth re-
forming. Or let's have the whipping
post to help it out. Whip for ali
crime that boys are doing under Is or
16 years of age and it will lessen the
crimes in that line. Give him thirty
nine on his back and then turn him
loose. Nine times out of ten that boy
will reform without the second lesson;
if not, give him the second.
I will wait for some one to comment
on this.
