An indication of the large amount of
river and harbor improvement work
now under way or contemplated by the
United States government is given by
the fact that fine suction dredges are
being constructed. These dredges are
the largest in capacity ever built, and
are designed in each case for the special
work which they will have to do. They
are self-prOpelling, sea-going dredges,
and do not depend upon the assistance
of tugboats or other craft to move
them around from point to point. These
vessels are fitted with immense bins
in which the dredged material is de-
posted, and, when fun, the vessel pro-
pels herself out to deep water, dumps
the sand or mud, and steams back to
repeat the operation. The operation
of these machines is interesting. A
long, flexible tube, ~ to Is inches in
diameter, drops down from the side of
the vessel 20 to so feet or more to
the bottom of the river or harbor upon
which the dredging operation is being
performed. The upper end of this tube
is connected to an immense rotative
centrifugal pump, revolving at several
hundred revolutions per minute, and
capable of handling many hundreds of
tons of water per hour. The lower
end of the tube is manipulated from
the vessel against the sand bars and
mud banks, and as the water is sucked
upwards by the centrifugal pumps
very large proportion of sand and mud
goes with it, The centrifugal pumps
discharge this water, with its suspend
ed material, into the tanks on board the
vessel or into scows where the heavy
matter quickly settles to the bottom,
the water flowing back into the sea.

OF the great Generals of the Con
federate army in the United States few
remain. The most conspicuous figure
among these is General James Long
street. Of Gainesville, Ga. HIS loyalty
and courage in defending the lost cause.
won the admiration of the world. As a
survivor of that splendid chivalry pecu..
liar to our Southern States two genera
tons ago, General Longstreet is one OF
the most unique men of this age.
He is man of few words, but when
he does speak his opinions are accepted
by his fellow countrymen with profound
respect If not reverence. In commenting
upon Perlna, the old General made use Of
the following language:
Il can testify to the merits of Peruna.
both as n tonic and catarrf remedy.
PerlIria enjoys the greatest reputation as
a catarrh remedy of amy medicine yet
devised james Longstreet.
General SmaIIs Benefited.
General Robert Smalls, Ex-M. c..
and now collector of customs at Beau
fort S. c.. who resides at Beaufort S. G.,
in a recent letter from Washington, D. G.,
says:
troubles and find it beneficial and to b.
ali that it promises, and freely give it
nv unqualified recommendation.

Peruna the Soldiers Friend.

No wonder the American soldier is a
friend of Peruna, when such a renown
ed officer as General Longstreet gives
Peruna a hearty endorsement. Every
one connected with the army and navy
can have no reasonable doubt as to the
vet devised has received such unstinted
eulogy from SO many renowned states
men and military men as Peruna.
There is natural reason for this. Pc
runa is a specific for catarrh wherever
located. 1t not only instantly cures acute
catarrh, but even old cases of chronic
catarrh vanish under it's persistent use.
The soldier is especially subject to catarrh
in some form or phase. Exposed as he is
to constant changes subjected as he is
to the vicissitudes of climate, wet and
his most insidious and ever present foe.
In fields and barracks, Peruna is equally
efficaciouS Taken in time it will abso-
lutely prevent catching cold. After the
cold has become established Peruna will
break it up quicker than any remedy
known to man. Even after the cold has
settled in some organ. Peruna can be
relied upon to promptly dispel it,
This is why Peruna is so popular in the
army and navy today, 1t is precisely
the remedy that meets the particular
ills to which this class of people are OK
posed. Our army and navy IS the ua-
tural protection of our country; Peruna
is the natural protection of the army
and navy in the vicissitudes of climate
and exposure
The number of specific catarrh rene
dies is small indeed; the number of ca
tarrh palliatives is legion. The effect of
catarrh palliatives is often immediate,
but always temporary; they never cure.

Captain M. G. Yarnell, Post Commander
VIM. Downs Pc st, No. eS, G. A. r., writes
from 1922 Lincoln street, N E.. Washing

as a catarrh cure He says:
