Every Man His Own Doctor,

The average man can not afford to
call q physician for every slight all
ment or injury that may occur in his
family, nor can he afford to neglect
them, as so slight an injury as the
scratch OF pin has been known TO
cause the loss of q limb. Hence ev-
cry man must from necessity be his
own doctor for this class of ailments.
Success often depends upon prompt
treatment, which can only be had
when suitable medicines are kept at
hand. Chamberlain's Remedies have
been in the market for many years
and enjoy q good reputation.

Hon. Chas. Scott in a speech at
Hattiesburg last Saturday, stated
that if elected Governor, of which
he had no doubt. there would be
no jobbery in connection with the
Office. 1t was unnecessary for Mr..
Scott to have made such anIutter-
ance except as assurance that the
entire administration of the State
government would be under his con-
slant surveillance. His well known
character for clean and upright
dealings in private affairs and his
heightened principles. which could
not be hidden under a bushel if he
would, are sufficient guarantees as
to what his course would be if in
trusted with the ADMINISTRATION of
this great and growing common
wealth. He also said that he favored
equal taxation for the corporations
and smaller property. both being
entitled to the same protection un-
der the law.

in the gunner as in the chauffeur, and IN the
gun as in the motor car, is an essential.
What is done by the suns in some Of our forts
is Illustrated by what has recently been accom-
plshcd at two Of the forts along the Atlantic
coast At Boston recently a target four and
half miles from the fort and moving along the
horizon at the rae of five miles an hour was
struck bv every shot fired from lo-inch bat
terv in less than four minutes. the number of
shots being six. The following day battery
of II inch guns performed the same feat. bunch
ing the shots more closely than did the lO-inch
guns. The shots OF both batteries were so close
together at the target that they might have
been incIosed in n rectangle 10 by 20 feet.
Battery Parrott Captain Kilborn, at Fortress
Monroe recently was called upon to fire at
moving target an unknown distance away.
Actually it WAS about three and one-half miles
away. Pyramidal in shape, it looked as it
moved across the water about as a leg-o'-mut
ton sail on a skiT would appear at distance
of four miles. Every shot hit and the
fourth and last destroyed the target. The
tire round was fired in one minute and nine
seconds.
One of the firms tests is called fire com
mand" In this test the gunners are expected
to change the fire from target to another of
the three iii the string directed and hit il
without changing the speed of the fire. The
targets are supposed to represent the vtals of
warShip This mythical vessel is considered to
have frceboard, height out of water, of
twenty-four feet. In estimating the hits. the
basis is that of a representative battleship. A
shot which does not actually hit the target but
which would have pierced vessel had it been
where the target was, is counted hit. Officers

score by means Of the range rake" This is an
implement which looks like garden rake with
short handle. The spaces between the teeth
each represent a given number of yards When
a shot strikes the officers sight along the handle
and note how many spaces to the right or left
of the centre the shot hit.

he had suddenly to adapt himself to the new

tide gauges and stop watches are required to
secure the requisite results The accuracy OF
the fire is obtained only by taking into con-
sideration such details the curvature of the
earth the speed of the target or the hostile
warship, the range or distance of the object
from the gun, the pressure or density Of the air.
the speed and direction of the wind, the tenn
perature and age of the powder when placed in
the gun, the height of the tide at the moment
of firing the shot and the drift" of the projec-
tile There can be no guesswork in securing
such artistic results as making hits with sue
cessve shots.
The effect of all of these factors in the COM
binaton under all possible conditions has been
worked out by experiments and computations
and the result utilized in devisng apparatus
which automatically registers the information
which is essential at such speed that half
dozen half-ton shots can be thrown into ship
from single battery in the space of less than
four minutes The drift" of the shot is the
distance to the right which a revolving projectile
from a rifled gun will go in the course of
given distance. The range and the point where
vessel will be at the moment a shot could
reach it reckoned in actual practice at least
once in every twenty seconds. The establish
ment of twenty seconds the interval when a
fresh survey shall be taken Is based upon the

men who fired the guns used to what they

cannot be above the paTapet. Hitting the

become so nearly infallibility that the tugs
which tow the floating targets separated

The men upon the tugs have more eXpecta-
