ANOTHER MONSTER.

The British admiralty, having eclipsed
the Dreadnought class of baItleships by
the st. Vincent, will start in Septembt
to eclipse the latter, laying down al
Portsmouth new levisthan, with besv-
Ter armament and greater displacement.
The st. Vincent. which will be launched
in October, 1909, is of 10. $50 tons and
cost about 50, 100000 The new bat
tleship will probably be Of q, 900 Tons
and will cost 81, $50, 900. She is iu-
tended to be completed for sea in is
mopth after her keel is laid.
It is stated she will have two novel
and important features. Instead Of ~
inchers, which are now the largest guns
used in the fleet, she will mount weapons
of the new 1875 type, which have been
for some time the subject Of experiment.
The other feature will be her equipment
with gas engines, by using which nc
smoke will be made, and therefore the
new ship will have no tunnels, II il
recalled that Mr.. McKechnie, Of Wick
ers' Sonss q Maxim, announced some
time ago that that firm had developed
the gas engine TO such a stage that II
could be employed Oh q wsr,hiP. The
admiralty engineers have since been con-
sderiug this engine, and have apparent
ly adopted it.

A BOYS CRUEL ACT.

While Miss Catherine Mccormick,
thirty-eight years old, was sitting on q
bench in Rose Hill Park, near Fordham
station, New York, yesterday afternoon,
several persons saw q hali-grOwn boy
slip up behind her with big bundle OF
newspaper in his two hands. The boy
piled the papers in a heap underneath
and behind the woman, and before any
body OWNED his purpose he had touch
ed a match to the heap and was running
away. As the fame sprang up Miss
McCormick's light summer gown ignited.
With a scream she lesped to her feet
and stumbled wildly across the lawn,
tearing at her garment, With her hand'.
Before she had gone twenty feet she
fell, with her hair sblsze and her cloth
Jog dropping from her in chsrred wisps.
The woman is dying at the FOrdham

Equalization Boards Work.

The State Board of Equalization con-
cluded it's work of equalizing the
value of railroad property assessed I'M
der the terminal tax law by increasing
the main track of the Union Pacific
about 10 per cent and the sidetracks
about 80 per cent. This increase does
not apply to Douglas county, which
was left as returned by the assessor.
The Northwestern, including the Min
neapOlis & Omaha, was reduced practi-
cally 10 per cent. This increase and
reduction was done in order to equal
lie between the different roads. The
total terminal property of the various
roads, with the exception of the North
western and the Minneapolis & Omaha.
are not yet available. The property
assessed for local purposes belonging
to the Northwestern in 1907 was $751;
S13. and this year under the terminal
tax law it amounts to $1,115,641. Pro-
perty of the Minneapolis & Omaha as
sessed last year for city purposes
amounted to 1927. 100. and under the
new law it amounts this year to $780,

NiQht SWeatS 4 Cough.

E. ". Walton, Condr. 8. p. Ry.. III
Van Ness St., San Antonio, Tex,
writes: During the summer and fall
Of 1902, my annoyance from catarrh
reached that stage where it was actual
misery and developed alarming symp-
toms, such as q very deep-scated cough,
night sweats, and pains in the head and
chest. Experimental with several So
called remedies before finally decided
to take . thorough course of Peruna.
''Twoof my friends had gone so far as
to inform me that the thing for me to do
was to resign my position and seek a
higher, more conSenial climate. Every
ono though: had consumption and
was not expected to live very long.
"Having procured some Peruna, I de-
cided to give it a thorough test and APP
piled myself as iduoUsly to the task OF
taking it, as per instructions, in the
meantime.
"The effects were soon apparent, all
alarming symptoms disappeared and
my general health became fully rs good
as it had ever been in my life.
II have reSorted to the use of Peruna
on two or three occasions since that
time to cure myself of bad colds"

TREATMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS.
Things that Should be Carefully
Guarded Against by Afflicted.
Afflicted.

In the home treatment for tuber-
culosis you need to carefully guard
yourself against taking too much exer-
else, and should you have an after
noon temperature, you should take no
exercise at all. The fever Is the cor
sumption" and is the destructive force
in the disease. Hence, if you have
fever. you should not even sit up. you
should lie down. his is an important
point and those who imagine that they
should take vigorous and heroic exer-
else should have their minds dis
abused at once. "a person who is
below normal weight should take no
exercise at all until he has regained
his normal weight.-ki-schner.) Your
exercise should always be directed by
your physician. This rule should not
be violated.
II you are a user of intoXicants you
must cease at once for you cannot be
cured if you insist on using them.
Remember that you have "consump-
.-On" burning the vitality from your
blood more rapidly than nature can re-
store it. II upon your already devital-
lied condition you impose an addition
al burden you may as we'll abandon
hope of recovery. You must leave
liquor alone.
Your recovery will depend largely
on temperament. The cure must be
earned and it will require an extended
period of time to do this. There is
small chance for you if you are a
melancholy. discontended, fault find
ing person. Intelligent. persistent
and painstaking action is required, in
which a cheerful. contended demeanor
must be maintained. There will al
ways be much to encourage the faith
full and the patient ones. and an
equable temperament and fine conduct
will find ultimate and large reward.
The foregoing paragraphs are ex-
tracts from a pamphlet on Home
Treatment in Iowa for tuberculosis,
edited by A. E. Kepford. Lecturer De-
partment of Education on Tuberculcs-
is and published by the Iowa Board
of Control This literature is spread
broadcast in Iowa in the heroic effort
made by that state to throw off the
sLackles of thralldom to the great
white plague. Mr.. Kepford was once
a minister of the gospel. now he calls
himself a minister of the gospel of
good health, and what gospel, verify.
To quote from a current magazine:
THAT it is stupid to be sick is new
idea, because We have always believed
that most of our illnesses are either
foreordained or accidents. Now we
are rapidly learning that our illnesses
are largely of our making; of our own
carelessness; of our own stupidity IN
fact" Then let us no longer be care
less nor stupid. lest nature exact her
tribute from us in punishment melted
out to us for leaving her simple ways.

BATHING AN INDIAN IDOL.
Curious Ceremony Attended by Thou
sands Of Devout Pilgrims.

Thousands Of pilgrims from the va
riOus outlying villages and other parts
Of the Hooghly district poured in from
an early hour in the morning to the
temples Of Jagernath. says the Cal
cutta Statesman. {
The image Of the god is placed on
a conspicuous part of the temple. so
that it can be viewed at an advantage
by the immense crowd of pilgrims.
and there at certain fixed hour the
bathing ceremony commences.
The most curious part of the fesu-
val is that water is not poured on the
image of the god until certain small
bird is found sitting on the topmost
banner Of the temple. There is pop
u!ar belief that the bird comes from
Puri. the famous place of Hindu pilgrim
age, to Maheoh on the day of this,
festival. and his very presence is an
