Grip of the King Snake.

e. r.. Sanborn, the photographer Of
the geological Society, is well ac-
quainted with all the snakes In the
reptile house. He occasionally plays
with the harmless species.
The other day he took the biggest Of
the king snakes out Of the snarl In its
cage and let it Irvine around his arms.
Hes got an awful grip" said Mr..
Sanborn. "See, he's got me handcuffed
now, with a turn around each of my
arms.
"a king snake can coil SO tightly
around your coat sleeve as to leave
welt on your arm. That's the reason
a king snake can kill RATHER.
He's as quick as light, and he
winds himself about the rattlsmake
and breaks its back. But he hasn't
bit Of poison"
Mr.. Sanborn declined suggestion
that he put the king snake in a cage
of diamond backs, just to see what
would happen.-New York Sun.

Protesting Against Rate Reduction
Atlanta, Ga.
The recent proposition of ]. Pope
Brown. Chairman Of the Georgia Rail-

machinists, telegraphers, boilermakers,
railway train men, carpenters and
joiners, clerks and car men. These or

that such a reduction would work
against the prosperity of the State and
lead to reduction In the number Of
railroad employees, as well as of their
wages. The Travellers Protective AS

fectly accurate, and not over-esti-

l summer-fallow about one-third Of
my farm every year, and afterward
take or two crops and summer-fallow
again. The summer-fallow is ploughed
twice during the summer, first shallow
afterwards deep and no weed allowed
to grow. The stubble is left as long
az possible when cutting the first crop,
and is burned the following spring,
drilled directly afterwards, and har-
rowed after drilling. This gives much
better result than fall-ploughing.

dence Of fighting along the roads.
ION Saturday, Sept. 20, we were in
line Of battle from 8 o'clock in the
morning, but nothing happened. On
Sunday we were ordered to move at
daylight, but did not make any prog
ress until 8 o'clock in the evening,
when we marched until 3 o'clock in
the morning of the Odd as rear guard.
On Monday at 8 a. m. we moved half
mile to get in shade Of trees. Re
NAMED until afternoon, baking and
cooking. Then spent about three hours
in going one mile, our brigade stand
Ing as rear guard Of the army. At 4
O'Clock we got fair start, however,
and went forward rapidly, but General
William Sooy Smith met us and turned
us back to the rebel Notifications at
Mumfordsville. The next day we
marched all day and until IL O'Clock at
night, and were scarcely In camp when
we were ordered to draw and cook
four days rations before reveille. The
boys rebelled and refused to build fires
until the colonel peremptorily ordered
fires built. Then there was a merry
time drawing and cooking rations, with
the enemy not ten miles away.
I'VE marched on Wednesday morn
Ing without having slept for twenty
four hours, and covered before we rest
ed that night thirty-f1ve miles. The
men were SO tired they could scarcely
keep in ranks, but they were picking
up rebel prisoners in nearly every corn
field, and they kept on. On Thurs
day, Sept. 25, we were in advance, and
starting at o'clock, marched rapidly
to West Point on the Ohio. The first
glimpse Of the river put new life into
the footsore men, and great, unguard-
ed piles of meat and bread rations. to
which we were invited to help our
selves, made the world look a good
deal brighter. We knew then we had
won the race and that with the Ohio
at our backs Bragg was beaten. The
next day we marched the eighteen
miles into Louisville, to be welcomed
as winners in the great army foot race
of the age."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Ramning a Man-of-War.

Ramming Man-Of- War.
A modern ram is nothing more than
a huge steel beak or spur, which is
fitted to the PROV Of the battieship
for the purpose Of destroying an en-
emy's ship in wartime by the force
Of collision. Indeed, shorld a vessel
succeed in driving her ram against
another warship, the blow, if deliv-
cred at full speed, would be sufficient
10 crush In the ships side and sink
her Immediately. A battleship's ram
weighs about forty tons, and is cast
all in one piece. 1t Is of solid steel
and capable of striking a tremendous
blow. Shell-proof man-o-war may
be made, but the skill Of the naval
architect is unequal to the task Of de-
signing a ship that can resist a ram.
Great care has to be exercised in
fixing such heavy piece Of steel. The
method generally adopted is as fol-
lows: The ram is suspended from a
strong derrick, the bottom end Of
which is attached to the extreme end
Of the vessels keel plates. The gap
between the ram and the uncompleted
part, or hull, is walled-tight compart-
ments. The weapon is so fixed that
it strikes just beneath the armored
belt, where resistance Is weakest,
while it is so shaped that the ram
ming vessel can, by reversing her en-
gines, easily disentangle herself from
the ship she has struck.
To gauge something of the damage
a ram is capable of inflicting, one has
only to recall to mind the case Of the
Victoria, flagship of the British
squadron, which was rammed by the
Camperdown and sunk with Admiral
Tryon and 400 men in 1893. In 1895,
while the English fleet was off the
Irish coast, the Vanguard was acct
dentally rammed by the Iron Duke,
and sank in an hour. During the Ger
man naval maneuvers in 1873 the
Grosser Kurfurst was rammed by the
KONG Wilhelm and sank Immediately,
$50 Of the crew being drowned.
1t is interesting to note that the
ram was first employed during the
civil war In the action between the
Confederate armor-clad ram Virginia,
in Norfolk Roads, In 1852, when the
Federal frigate Cumberland was
rammed and sunk by the Virginia.

ALASKA MAN ON
CURRENT QUESTIONS

V T. Hoggatt Of Goldfield, New, and
formerly city attorney Of Nome, Alaska,
| is stopping at the Young Hotel. Mr..
Hoggatt was the author of the Alaska
homestead bill, passed by Congress
couple of years ago, a bill which gives
every inducement to settlers to take up
lands in the rich mineral territory. He
was in Honolulu a year Or so ago and
studied the land laws governing the
public domain of Hawaii but he finds
that there is so much red tape about
them that he wonders how any man
could ever take up a homestead and ac-
quire title to the same.
II read Just recently in one of your
papers that a settler had been refused
| a title pending investigation as to
whether he had slept 365 consecutive
nights on the land said Mr.. Hoggatt
yesterday. ITO me, that is ridiculous,
and it is certainly not method which
will induce many settlers to take UP
public lands
| The amendment to the Lacey con-
| gressional bill was drafted by Mr.. Hog
gait and provided that there shall be
and is hereby granted every settler
| who is qualified to make homestead,
entry of the public lands of the United
| States, who has settled or who shall
| hereafter settle on any of the public
| lands in the district of Alaska, with
| the intention of claiming the same
| under the homestead laws, and who
shall have resided upon and cultivated
the same for five years. the quantity of
lone-half section, or 800 acres.''
Mr.. Hoggatt with other enterprising
linen of Alaska went before Congress
and worked with that great body until
they got satisfactory land law which
would attract settlers.
The result has been that settlers are
taking up great areas of public land
and developing them and building up
the country.
The five-year clause was inserted in
the bill to defeat the land ra bbers.
Judge Hoggatt was one of the leaders
in the fight against the ''land-ring" and
came out victorious.
| Judge Hoggatt worked hard for the
fright of Alaska to be represented by
delegate on the floor of the House of
Representatives. as a territory of the
Union, but he is also an advocate of
every territory becoming a state, and
at once. His views on this subject in
lclude Hawaii as well as Alaska. He
says:
If one unacquainted with our sys-
item of government should ask me what
| in my opinion, is the most utterly
worthless feature of our Federal Gov
lernment / would say the political gov
eminent of our territories by lawyers
There should be, in fact, no territories
All of the territories should be at
Ionce admitted as states'

The "Run Down Condition
why do | feel used up and all run down most
of the time?'
How many ask. themselves this question daily:
The answer is simple. 1t is lack OF nerve force
Science with its unerring methods OF research
has proved that the various organs and TISSUES OF
the body continue in health and perform their
work properly as long their nerve supply re-
tains it's vigor and strength. But If the nerves
degenerate or lose power from poor nourlshnleiat
or any other Cause, the entire physiological mech
anism of the body is thrown out of gear and we
have as a result some pronounced rundown
condition or disease.
The heart, the stomach the liver, all have their
great nerve centres which supply them with the
power to work properly When these nerve CEN
tres are weakened these important organs cannot
act properly.

Prof Edward E. Phelps, the famous discoverer
of Paine's Celery Compound, was the first physl-
clan to openly declare twenty years ago that the
health of the human body depends entirely upon
the health of the nerves.
Pane's Celery Compound furnishes food for
the nerves themselves, and, while gently stimu-
lating them, restores them to their original
strength and vigor and at once all the organs OF
the body take up their work and health is re-
stored.
Paine's Celery Compound sends new life throb-
bing through every artery and gives that glorious
feeling of perfect health.
For the past II years this great nerve vitalizer
and tonic has been the most universally used pre-
scrpton in the world. Pale, sickly children,
weary women, broken-down, discouraged men
find strength and happiness in. this great pre-
scrpton.
It cures disease by removing the cause. When
ever YOU suffer from rheumatism, headache,
seepessness, dyspepsia, nervousness or run
down condition you can be cured by Pane's
Celery Compound. It's effect is almost immedi-
ate.
Remember this,-Paine's Celery Compound is

cians this country has ever known. and all reput-
able druggists sell and recommend 1t.
