scription of the Vessel*.
The Amur* Ram, which was launched at
the Bath, Me., Iron Works Saturday, is the
most novel addition thus far made to our
new navy. She is called the Katahdin, and
in wartime she will be called upon to attack
big ships with her strong, sharp bow and
punch holes in their hulls, thus sending
them and all on board down to Davy Jones’
locker. When in fighting trim she will be
almost submerged, and will present a very

small aud armorical mark for the enemy’s
guns.
Congress, by act of March 2, 1889, author¬
ized the construction of a twin-screw, ar¬
mor plated, harbor defense ram, upon the
design of Rear Admiral Ammen, United
States navy, the design to be based upon
his experience with rams in the war of the
rebellion.
The Bath iron works in January, 1891,
took the contract to build and equip the
vessel and machinery and place the armor,
for 4930,000. On March 27, 1891, the de¬
partment approved the proposition of the
contractors to lengthen the vessel eight feet,
the corresponding increase in the
displacement, 133 tons, being uti¬
lized in increasing the coal supply
and providing a battery of four six-pounder
rapid fire guns for defense against torpedo
boat attack. The original design had no
battery whatever.
The dimensions of the vessel are as fol¬

the normal water line, 250 feet, 2 inches
breadth extreme, 43 feet,5 inches, and on the
water line, 41 feet 6 inches. The total
depth from the base to the crown of the deck
amidships is 22 feet 10 inches; the normal
draft of water is 15 feet, and the displace¬
ment 2,183 tons. The lower portion of the
hull is dish shaped up to a sharp knuckle
which runs all around the vessel 6 inches
below the normal water line.
Above this knuckle the shape of the hull
is a circular arc, with inches a radius below amidships of
39 feet, rising from 6 to 6 feet
above the normal water line. This curved
deck will be armor plate throughout, the
thickness of the armor tapering from 6 in¬
ches at the knuckle to 2 inches at the crown
of deck. Above this deck when the ram is
completed will rise only a connoning tower
18 inches thick, a smokestack and ventila¬
tor, the lower uortion of which will be pro¬
tected by 6 inches of armor, two light bar¬
bettes, within which the guns will be
mounted, and skid beams carrying four
boats.
Below the knuckle will extend an armor
belt 5 feet deep, one half being 6 inches thick
and the remainder 3 inches. The hull is
framed by continuous longitudinal girders
both below and about the knuckle, which
gathering together at the bow and stem form
a very spaced rigid structure. Transverse frames
are 4 and 8 feet apart in different por¬
tions of the length. A continuous water
skm tight is inner bottom 2 feet from the outer
the vessel carried and nearly the the whole shelf length of

which was to ascertain the cause of the

Messrs. Domddson and Akelv eagerly ac-
cepted this chance. end The autopsy'was
performed in one of the quarters
specially curtained off to prevent the
other elephants from seeing what was
going on. A sharp knife under was first
drawn through the tough skin the

and then the hide was removed. An in-

wielding the scalpel, uttered an ex-

the professor's astonishment was plain.
As the ligaments around parted, the spectators
crowding could see links of a big
chain. There was no longer any doubt
as to what had caused the elephant’s
death. Professors Donaldson and Akely
both declared it was a marvel that the
animal had lived so long with so large a
foreign substance in its stomach. The
action of the elephant in swallowing the
chain was also considered remarkable. It
was four feet long and weighed eight over

Tie Bill lor Repeal of tie Sierra Acl
Ms ol Consideration.
The House by a Tote of 153 to 142
Recommits to the Rules Committee.
Thfi question of silver legislation at
this session of congress has been finally
settled. There will «.;n be t----— none. nru_ The fight jj-u.
_____ in ^ the house Thursday morning was brief.
ut interes tin g- « General enerai Catch- Ben¬
I 0 8 ol Mississippi, . opened it by
^ ® * the order from the report-
D g committee on
rules, setting aside the day and Friday
lor the consideration of silver, Mr. Ba¬
con, of New York, chairman of the com-
mittee on banking and currency, which
reported the bill, followed with a brief
speech in advocacy of the adoption of
the order and of the bill. Mr.
Bland, of Missouri, the leading advo¬
cate of free coinage, delivered an
impassionate tion speech against the resolu¬
and against the proposed legisla¬
tion. Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska, the able
young orator who won L-me by his tariff
speech last session, declared eloquently
that the democratic party dare not go to
the people of the country, having adopt¬
ed cloture for this bill when it" had re-
fused it for every measure in the interest
of the people. There was not a line in
the bill which was not opposed to the
policy of the democratic party, Several
brief speeches were made it> favor of the
measure and several m< re against it, when
General Catchings yielded ten minutes to'
Tom Heed. Mr. Reed favored the re¬
peal of the Jfherman law. He said it had
only been enacted as a compromise meas-
ure to stay for the time being a strong
demand for free coinage. It seemed to
be an obstacle to bimetallism all over the
world and should be repealed.
THE VOTE TAKEN.
After Mr. Reed’s speech, the vote was
taken on ordering the previous question
on the adoption of the order. An
“aye” vote practically meant a vole
against the bill, while a “nay” vote was
for the bill. There was intense excite¬
ment during the call of the roll. Al¬
most every member on the floor kept a
tally sheet of his own. It ran along al¬
most even until the last score of names
were reached. The vote stood 153 for
the previous question to 142 against it.
An analysis of the vote showed that the
motion was supported by 107 democrats,
35 republicans and 10 populists or inde¬
pendent members. The opposition con¬
sists of 104 democrats and 39 republi¬
cans.
HOW IT WAS RECEIVED.
When Speaker Crisp made the an¬
nouncement it was greeted with great
applause by the silver men. It meant the
defeat of the bill and the advocates of
the repeal of the Sherman law gave up
the fight without further contest by not
contesting the motion of Mr. Cox, ot
Tennessee, to resubmit the special order
to the committee on rules. That was
carried through on a standing vote of 150
to 83, and thus the fight over silver ended
almost before it had begun. The gold
men saw there was no hope and suc¬
cumbed. The 153 votes for the previous
question were made up of 190 democrats
and thirty-five republicans and nine pop¬
ulists. The negative vote, representing
the strength of the repealers, was made
up of 104 democrats and thirty-eight re¬
publicans.

A Laundry Hint.
Always spread a large clean cloth in
your clothes basket before putting in the
clothes. Pass a clean, damp cloth aloug
the clothes line to free it from dust. A
galvanized wire clothes line is best, as it
need not be taken down, besides freeing
one’s mind of the fear of breakage or
slipping of knots with the direful atten¬
dants of such contingencies. A clothes
pin aproD, which is m tde by facing a
large, piece of cloth on the outside for a
pocket, is much more convenient than a
basket, as it allows the free use of the
hands.
Too Lively.
Mamma—“Did you and Ethel play
church with your doll?”
Little Dora—“We tried to, but we
couldn’t, cause we hadn’t any boy doll
for a preacher. We dressed up Johnny’s
jumpiu’-jack an’ tried him, but he was a
little too lively for a reg’lar church,so we
turned it into a revival.”—Street &
Smith’s Good News.
“Each Spoonful has
done its Perfect Work;’
Is the verdict of every woman who has used Royal
Baking Powder. Other baking powders soon
deteriorate and lose their strength, owing to the
use of inferior ingredients, but Royal Baking
Powder is so carefully and accurately com¬
pounded from the purest materials that it retains
its strength for any length of time, and the last
spoonful in the can is as good as the first, which
is not true of any other baking powder.
An Odd Find.
Rather a queer find was unearthed a
few days ago from a small aperture in
the jam of afire place in an old brick
building now used as a boarding house,
in Coshocton, Ohio.
A woman, while sweeping about the
hearth, discovered a slip of paper tucked
away under the narrow opening at the
foot of the mantel, which proved to be a
slip torn from a Steubenville paper, bear¬
ing the date of April 21, 1855. Iu the
slip were three finely engraved copper
dies for counterfeiting gold dollars. Two
of the dies were dated 1820 and the other
1825. The dies are an inch and a half in
diameter and about one-fourth of an inch
thick. The engraving in them is ex¬
ceedingly fine, indicating the hand of a
skilled engraver. According to the date
as shown on the paper, the outfit has been
concealed about thirty-eight years. The
building where they were found about
that time was used as a general store.
Random Notes.
Two confederate stamps recently car¬
ried a package from Granby, Mass., to
Boston. They were not detected in the
postoffice.
A pending bill in the New York legis¬
lature provides in that a man body who shall has serv¬ ad¬
ed seven years that be
mitted to the bar without undergoing an
examination. But these legislators not
only learn no law, but speedily forget
the little they carry with them to the
statehouse.
Daniel Morgan, of Missouri, has made
a claim on the government, who says
he is the only descendant of a famous
revolutionary general that gave a note to
aid the colonies. The note was to raise
money to clothe and sustain troops.
With" interest the claim would now
amount to $30,000,000. It has not been
allowed.—Atlanta Constitution.

Economical Household Purchases.
It is well understood, ot it should be
that discretion in buying and skill in
cooking are both vital to true economy.
The woman who should go to a dry
goods store, and without specifying what
particular kind of cloth she wanted, di¬
rect the salesman to give her enotigh of
the best woolen goods for a dress, add
who should then hand the material over
to her dresfmaker with instructions
merelj to make it well and trim it be¬
comingly, It might or might not be well
dressed. is fairly certain that she
would not be economically dressed. Yet
thousands of women give orders after
precisely this fashion to their butchers
and cooks, and are then despondent be¬
cause their bills are so large.
It is a primary duty of the housekeep¬
er to understand the relative values of
the goods, and to know how they should
be cooked to preserve those values. If
the most expensive viands are desired, all
right. Let them be so prepared that
they shall justify their cost. They do
not necessarily traverse the principles expensive of
true economy. But the most
viands,while they are likly to be the best
for their particular purposes, are entirely
cut of place in the preparation of other
equally valuable aud equally toothsome
dishes. Their use then becomes gross
extravagance. If the housekeeper knows
the character of each article of food that
is bought, and devotes each to its proper
use, she has mastered the great principle
of dietetic economy.—American Analyst.

A Testimonial Worth Reading.
Mt. Sterling, Ky., Feb. 13 , 1889 .
I desire to make a brief statement for
the benefit of the suffering. I had been
afflicted with catarrh of the head, throat
and nose, and perhaps the bladder for
fully twenty-five years. Having tried
other remedies without success, I was
led by an advertisement in the Sentinel-
Democrat to try Hall’s Catarrh Cure. I
have just finished my fourth bottle, and
I believe I am right when I say I am
thoroughly restored, I don’t believe
there is a trace of the disease left.
Respectfully,
WM. BRIDGES, Merchant Tailor.

ed a wide sale under the
name of Piso’s Cure for
Consumption.
It Is now a "Nostrum," though at first it was
compounded after a prescription by a regular
physician, with no idea that it would ever go
on the market as a proprietary medicine. Bn",
j after compounding that prescription over a
j thousand times in one year,we named it “Piso’s
Cure for Consumption,” and began advertising
it in a small way. A medicine known all
over the world is the result.
Why is it not just as good as though costing
fifty cents to a dollar for a prescription and an
«qual sum to have it put up at a drug store?
