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 IS, iLlLfi 2 .m. sates THE BATTLESHIP INDIANA. 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¬ lows: Length over all, 251 feet; length on v \ w THE NEW RAM KATAHDIN. 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 up to armor on each side. This bottom is divided into three water tight portions on each side of the keel longitudinally, and these are further cross - z An Autopsy on an Elephant. b„“ \ n nutnnsv P S £ «•», h P id renentW 7 <he%«h st TGra „ o elephant Zip that died a few nights ago in winter Quarters here.

A sharp knife under was first drawn through the tough skin the stomach the entire length of the animal, and then the hide was removed. An in- cision was then made in the stomach. and Profesior Donaldson, who was wielding the scalpel, uttered an ex- clamatiou of surprise. “There -certainly sto'- can’t be a bone in the elephant’s mach,” he said, ”aud vet the kuife strikes something apparently as hard as iron.” The next moment Ihe cause of 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 ninety pounds.

The Indiana, w r hen she has her armor and her big 13-inch guns, will be one of the most formidable warships in the world. When she was ordered constructed nearly three years ago, the United States was already fairly well supplied with commerce destroy¬ ers that could fight vessels of their class and run away from armored ships, and in pur¬ suance of a plan to provide the navy with battleships that would be the Corbetts and Sullivans of the seas the Indiana and two other similar ships, the Massachusetts and Oregon, Indiana’s were keel ordered laid constructed, May 7, 1891. and She the was is built of steel and is 348 feet long, 69£ feet She broad will and bas a displacement and her of 10,288 battery tons. of carry 460 men, four 14-inch and eight 6 -inch guns, mounted as they are in pairs in six great nickle steel turrels 17 inches thick, which are in turn protected by 17-inch redoubts, is one of the ted most powerful batteries provided for a Uni¬ States ship.

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. PROTECTION FOR HAWAII.

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.

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.
