ShipbuiIdinu in 1903,

last years shipbuilding, the number
of vessels launched in the whole world
was 2441, with tonnage of 2,679, 531,
and an indicated horse power of g.
352,485. For 1902 the number of YES
sells launched was 1884, with tonnage
of 2,715,670, and an indicated horse
power of 2,017,254. More than one
half the new tonnage of 1903 was pro-

England turning out 81 vessels OF
766,295 tons, Scotland 1862 vessels of
4S4,853 tons, and Ireland % vessels of

With the exception of the United
States, no foreign country launched an
aggregate tonnage equal to the Clyde

vessels of 446,S69 tons The statistics
show that there were decreases on the

TENDENCY OF BREEDS

1t should be borne in mind in breed
ing that the proper type is what should
be aimed at, and not simply breed, bad
as we'll as good. Plymouth Rocks can
be raised, but the correct type of this
breed should be aimed at. The English
Dorking is recognized as the best type
of fowl, and all breeders are trying to
produce this style. The points to aim
at are prominent, long, yet square,
breasts, short legs. but with good width
between. Low set birds with good
breasts are wanted, and these are the
best to fatten. The utility type as
against the purely exhibition is grad
ually forcing its way to the front. The

A DIGESTIVE For HORSES.

AS nearly all horses are troubled
with indigestion, due largely to same
ness in rations, and many are subject
to attacks Of colds, it is a good plan
to have on hand some simple digestive
which may be mixed with the feed
given the horse. Horses that are SUBJ
ject to stomach disturbances should be
given bran mashes several times a
week, st night, and oats should consti-
tute a very considerable portion OF
their grain ration. In feeding the bran
mashes mix in each a tablespoonful OF
powdered charcoal. If the animal OBJ
jects to it at first, reduce the quantity
and then increase to the quantity
named. Horses subject to collie should
be carefully worked, and if such at
tacks appear with any regularity. daily
exercise should take the place of work
and the horse be treated by veterin-
arian Try this charcoal treatment
do it regularly. and yon will find the
digestive organs CT the horses much
improved.

Buy good one and one-quarter iuch

the socket of this chisel. If this tool
is kept sharp it will easily cut limb

found very useful in working where
it would be very troublesome to place

The Parsimony of Wealth.

Upon the occasion of the presenta-
ton of an expensive loving cup few
nights ago to a merchant who was
celebrating the semi-centennial ami

wealth. Many of those present had
been identified with the firm headed
by the cup received upward of quar-
ter of century.

importance of observing frugality in
small things, especially until the

TWO HANDY TOOLS.

The illustration shows two tools
which will be found useful on any
farm where fruits and vegetables are
grown. The rakelike tool is an onion
row marker and will save an immense
amount of time in setting onions if
used as directed. Take a piece of
material three feet long and about two
inches square. and, after boring suit
able holes four inches apart, set in and
fasten pins of wood so that they will
project about two inches. These pins
should be about one-half inch square
and bluntly pointed. Attach a short
candle as shown and the tool is ready.

Robert W. Chambers, continuing the

all good fishermen. AS proof of the
axiom that ''any angler who chelishes

While on aIfishing trip in the forests
of northern; Europe he met a fellow
sportsman. the President of British
angling club. On arriving at the
stream, Mr.. Chambers, who knew the
water, gave it as his opinion that it
ought to be fished up. not down. The
Englishman replied frankly that this
was "bosh;' he knew that no stream
should be fished up. Three or four
days on the stream, and as many emp

U. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLlNA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh Of the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia--Someth
to Produce Artificial Diges-
ton is Generally Taken .sa
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host
of Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat fthe Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.

Tx u. S. Senator M. C. Butler from
Il South Carolina was Senator from that
State for two terms. In recent letter to
The Peruna Medicine Co., from Washing
ton, ID. c., says:
~ can recOnm end PerunG for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. I have
been lsfslg yostr medicine for a short
period and L feel gerry much relieved.
It Is indeed q aconderfttL medicine
besides good tonic. IN. G. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dyspepsia
is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures
catarrh. Peruna does not produce artl-
fetal digestion. 1t cures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial meth
DDS or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dyspep-
STA than all other remedies combined,
simply because it cures catarrh wherever
located. If catarrh is located in the head,
Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened it
self in the throat or bronchial tubes.
Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes
settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it,
as well in this location as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Perunia is catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is gen.
orally dependent upon catarrh.

should be invaluable to him in his flu

The doctor took something out of his
pocket and whispered to her to keep
the tabloid" in her mouth, but not to
swallow it, She did as she was told.
and soon felt all right again. The tab

to discover what the tasteless. indis-
