THE WORLD’S FAIR.
A Novel Structure for the Naval
Department’s Exhibits.
It Will be a Fully Equipped
Model of a Man-Of-War.
The government's exhibit at the
Word’s Fair in 1893 promises to he
ono of the most interesting features of
the Exposition.
The most popular fenturo of the ex¬
hibition will bo tho exhibit of tho
Navy Department. ('apt. It. \V.
Meado, U. S. N., suggested some time
ago that as tho navy would have a
largo and very interesting contribution
to niako to the Exposition, it would be
desirablo to present it us an object
losson, in n structure resembling as
closely ns possible one of the latest
designs of tho constructors of our
navy for a powerful man-of-war.
Tho suggestion met with prompt ap¬
proval, both for its novelty and its
practicability. Instead of arranging
the exhibit of the Navy Depart¬
ment iu a hull, it will be put
in n structure resembling in
every detail a 10,000-ton coast¬
line battle ship, liko tho Indiana, the
Massachusetts, or tho Oregon, now
bnilding. It is considered desirable
by tho inventor of this design that
the building should bo erected at the
lake front, but unless the local board
in Chicago will expend the money re¬
quired to erect a breakwater, it may
be necessary to sacrifice the realism
that ( wonld bo secured by constructing
the model of the ship upon piles driven
into the bottom of tho lake, and set it
up on shore near the government
building.
The modol will be 848 feet in length
and 69 feet in width, and to all ap¬
pearance will be identical with the
battlo ship that will cost $3,000,009.
Tho materials of construction
will be brick, iron and wood,
and plaster will bo combined
with paint iiv effective imitation
or iron and steel. Upon this model
ship there will be mounted fifty guns
of all calibres, from tho great 13-inch
monster, that carries a projectile
weighing eleven hundred pounds, to
the onc-poundcr rapid fire guns and
tho gatlings. Everything appertain¬
ing to the fully equipped battlo ship
will be seen in its proper placo. Tur¬
rets, torpedo-boats, torpedo nets and
booms, boats, anclior-s, chain-cables,
davits, awnings, deck fittings, and the
appliances for working all of theso
things, will bo shown. The 13-inch
guns, of which there arc four, will bo
models, as the real gun and carringo
weigh 115 1-2 tons, and would require
a building of groat strength
for support. Officers and sen-
men and marines will ho de¬
tailed to illustrato the discipline and
mode of life on shipboard. The super¬
structure will show the cabins, state¬
rooms, mess-rooms, galley, mess
tables for tlvo crow, lockers, and otiior
fittings. There will bo opportunity
to exhibit on the berth-dock the ma.
cliinery by which the ship will be oper¬
ated, charts and instruments of navi¬
gation, ordnance implements, inclu¬
ding electrical devices, gnu-carriage
motors, range-finders, models of type
ships, and samples of provisions,
clothing, bunting, signals anil flags.
There will also bo pictures of naval
heroes from tlvo tiino of Paul Jones
to Farragut, Foote and Porter, and
the costumes of tlvo navy from 1774 to
the present tinus will bo worn by the
attendants.
Soon after the proposal was made
to put the naval exhibit in a model, it
was objected to by persons who
thought it would provoke ridicule of
tho navy. This feeling lias been
largely dispelled by tho prompt adop¬
tion in England of Captain Meade's
idea. At tlio naval exhibition to be
held at Chelsea during tho coming
fall, the most attractive feature, it is
expected, will be a full-size model,
built upon a lawn, of Lord Nelson's
Victory as she appeared at the battlo
of Trafalgar. Captain Meade’s sug¬
gestion has been received also with
enthusiastic approval in the French
papers, which have published illustra¬
tions of it, accompanied by elaborate
descriptions. VVliat tho Navy De¬
partment also hope is that the Western
people of tlio prairie will take an
iuterest in the navy when they see
what one of her ships of war is like,
and will not grudge in future $8,000,-
000 for one ship. — [Harper’s Weekly.
The Nautical Mile.
Distance at sea is measured in miles,
and in the second placo that speed at
sea is measured iu knots. The idea is
general that a knot is the same thing
as a sea milo, but a knot is a speed of
oue nautical or sea milo an hour,
hence the expression “knots an hoar,”
referring to the speed of a ship, is lub-
borly as well as incorrect. The nauti¬
cal or sea mile is a fraction over 6086
feet, the English measured mile, so
that one knot of 6peedis approximate¬
ly 101.5 feet a miuute.—[Boston Cul

SUCCESS IN FEKDINO I'ICS.
Tho degree of success which will
bo obtained in feeding pigs will bo
largely modified not only by the breed
which is kept, but also by the manner
in which tho breeding is conducted.
In-and-in breeding, unless tho ani¬
mals arc selected with an unusual de¬
gree of skill, will eventually result in
weakened constitutions, mid an un¬
profitable class of animals. A great
leal of care is needed to make it a
success, and good strains are so readily
secured that, under ordinary circum¬
stances, it will be unwi 80 to mate
fiosely rclutoil animals.—[American

HANDUNtl SICK EOWI.S.
No ono wishes the disagreeable duty
of handling sick fowls. A sick fowl
seldom cares to cat, but it will drink.
Then why not give the medicine in the
drinking water. Hero are a few rem¬
edies. For tho cholera give u tea-
spoonful of liquid carbolic acid in
cncli quart of drinking water. For
indigestion use five drops of the tinc¬
ture of mix vomica. For roup use a
(ablcspoonful of chlorate of potash.
For general debility use the mix vom
ica one day and twenty drops of tiuo-
luro of iron the next. For littlo chicks
that aro weak in tho logs use a table¬
spoonful of phospliato of soda. Give
nil these remedies in one quart of wil¬
ier. They may not he “sure cures,”
but the method is the easiest, cheapest
snd best. — [Farm and Fireside.
OVERFEEDING FOWLS.
Many beginners in poultry keeping
fall into the error of overfeeding
their fowls. Even a littlo overfeeding
continued for some length of time is
far more injurious than underfeeding.
It causes indigestion, resulting in a
drooping, morbid condition of the
whole system and finally enlargement
of the liver and sadden death. Fowls
thus overfed will give but few, if any,
eggs, are subject to tho attack of any
malignant disease floating in the air,
and arc a decided loss generally.
Fowls should be fed but moderately,
and it is always an excellent plan to
scatter their dry feed in the hay or
straw litter in the yard or on gravelly
places where they will be compelled to
stratch for it. This will insure a rea"
sonablo amount of muscular exercise
for their legs and body, and help as
much ns anything elso to keep them in
x healthy condition, and profitable de¬
velopment.— [American Agriculturist.
PRUNING APPLE TREES.
I think nature gives us somo valu¬
able hints, writes a New York fruit
grower, that we would do well to ob¬
serve iu our pruning of fruit trees.
Everybody knows Unit the fruit on the
insido of an apple (ice is much infe¬
rior in size and in ull other respects,
to far as valuable qualities are con-
corned, to that produced on tho top
branches and the ends of the limbs ex¬
tending outward from the trunk. In¬
deed 1 would say that all the apples on
a tree that cannot ho reached by tv lad¬
der moved around on the outside of it
had better be packed in barrels by
themselves and marked as seconds if
they are harvested for sale at all.
This would seem to teach that
should spare but few, if any,
branches aud twigs Immediately
around the trunk, whore the fruit will
have to grow and mature imperfectly
in the shade of the lop and outer
limbs. I know many persona
favor low apple trees and prune
an aim to produce a
habit in their trees, but for myself 1
don't want an apple tree with
so low that I can reach the apples
while I stand on the ground. 1 would
keep the centre of the treo well pruned
out and shorten the top branches of
the stein jnst enough to bring the
within reach of the picker on a
ladder, it is on the extreme twigs
most .difficult to bo reached that tho
finest fruit will usually be found.—

CURE OF TOOLS.
Tools and implements are damaged
more by rust and exposure to alter¬
nate rain anti sunshine than by actual
usage. Rain and dew will rust the
bright journal bearings of farm im¬
plements on ono side, perhaps,render¬
ing that side rough. Then that side
of tho bearing will begin to “cut” or
wear away; and as soon as one side
of a journal begins to wear it will
wear faster and faster until the bear-
ing is damaged beyond repair, requir-
ing (he substitution of a new journal-
Rain and dew will expand the wood,
work of implements, and softon tlio
grain of the surface, after which the
heat of the sun will dry and crack the
wood, making numerous small fissures
for water to enter. Plow-handles and
many other parts of implements that
haye been bent after they have be'-.q
exposed to the influences of rain and
sunshine lose their desired
form and shape, Sliovcl-
handles, scythc-anaths, cradlo
fingers, and somo other bent portions
of hand tools and horso implements
are oflon ruined by exposure to storms
and sunshino. Let it bo an indexible
rule of tho farm that tools and imple¬
ments must not be loft outdoors, ex¬
posed to the damaging influences of
wet and dry weather. Let every
helper understand that ho must clean
hoes, shovels and spades, wipe the
hlndes dry, and put them under shel¬
ter as soon as they are not in actual
use. A man will accomplish just as
much per day if ho is required to clean
his tools and put thorn in n dry placo
as lie will to throw them down where
they were used last, covered with
dirt, and exposed to the weather.—
[American Agriculturist.
RAISING TURKEYS.
Get a good breed to start with; it
costs no more to raise a turkey that
will bring the best price titan to raise
one that sells low. Generally it is
best to arrange to hatch out early.
Keep them growing so that they will
be ready to market early in the tall.
WTierc ono has a comfortable home
and tho turkeys are gentle enough, it
will pay to hatch late turkeys and keep
them until after the middle of winter.
Ilut with the average treatment given
they ought to he ready to market be.
fore severe cold weather sots in.
Turkey hens seem to delight i«
stealing their nests out, and must be
watched, or many of their eggs Avill
be lost. A barrel or box laid on on?
side with a littlo straw in it and a few
pieces of brush thrown over it or a
few boards set up iu a corner of the
fence with a little straw or brush will
often tempt them to make a nest there,
and the eggs can bo much more
readily found than if they are allowed
to hunt a place for nests among weeds
and brush. Set the first layings under
a Common hen. Generally turkey
hens are poor mothers and will tramp
with their young through the wet
weeds and grass without mercy.
Gold and dampness are death to
young turkeys. They must be kept
comfortable and dry, penning up at
night and on rainy days so as to make
sure of keeping them dry.
At first tho young turkey needs to
be fed often. They aro hearty eaters
andneed feeding to get a good start
to grow. Food at regular intervals
and give them all that thoy will cat up
clean and no more. Poultry never
should have any food left over.
Five times a day for the first twa
weeks will not bo too often to feed
and after that thoy can be fed throe
times—morning, noon and night.
They should be lot run out every day
that it is warm and pleasant. After
they aro reasonably well feathered
they can be given a good range and
in the meadows and grain fields will
pick up nearly or quite all of their
living. Still it is best to feed at least
onee a day in order to induce them to
come homo regularly at night. Tur¬
keys, more than any other fowl,
will go to roost wherever night catch¬
es them and aro more apt to stray off.
Sweet milk and curd with comical
bran scaldod and sorghum seed make
a good feed for young turkeys. Give
them plenty of pure, frosh water and
clean quarters and they will thrive and
grow amazingly.—[St. Louis Itepub-
lic.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Get tho eggs to market while fresh.
Warm, dry quarters and no lice will
eauso chicks to grow wonderfully fast.
If you have tobacco stems about the
place, use some of them in the nests.
Don't have draughts in the hen
house or the drafts in the bank will be
light.
It is rarely tho case that a good lay¬
ing breed will bo tho host as a table
fowl.
A littlo flaxseed meal will be found
valuable to add to the regular morning
feed.
Look out for damp or wet quarters
for the fowls just now. Look out they
are not damp.
Date Palin Legends.
Of the various palms tho date palm
is ono of the most useful and orna¬
mental. The old Assyrians thought it
was tho mystical treo of life, and other
ancients considered tho date tho for*
bidden fruit of the Garden of Eden.
The Greeks aro very fond of the tree,
the splendid stem of which is said to
have given them the first idea of col¬
umns. They said Hercules had brought
the first palm to Greece from tho infer¬
nal regions. The Romans were the
first to give palm branches to victors.
But tho natives of India have woven
most legends and stories round the tree
which gives them food and shelter.
The following is one of tho most fan¬
tastic ones. A palm grew by the side
of a lake in Central India. It was
visible during the day, and in the evo-
ning it vanished in the earth. One
morning a pilgrim climbed to the top,
but the tree grew rapidly to a tromcn-
dons height, 30 that the pilgrim was
scovched to death by the hot rays of
the sun, and the palm itself was
scorched and died. On the spot where
it had grown there stands now tho
idol of the genii of the lake called Ta-
roba.—[Brooklyn Citizen,

Job speaks of it as being taken out of
the earth. Thousands of years before
the opening of the Christian era the
Egyptians used iron in making sickles,
knives, etc. Sparta first used iron for
money; Britain also used it as a modi-
um of barter and exchange prior to
the conquest by tho Homans. The use
of steel is known to be quite ancient,
its invention being ascribed to the
Chnlyhes, who in ancient tiroes lived
at (lie present Batonm. The Britans,
before tho tiino of Christ, used tc
export iron to Gaul, and aftei
the Roman conquest tho conquerors
established extensive smelting works,
which existed at least as late as the
Saxon conquest. Iron bars were de¬
manded by William the Conqueror as
tribute from the city of Gloucester.
Iu 1855 Edward III. forbade the ex¬
port of iron from England, and in
1483 the importation of iron articles
that could be made at homo was for¬
bidden. Bar iron was made in the
American colonies as early as 1662.
The tinning of iron was introduced
from Bohemia in 1681. The first ex¬
periments in smelting iron with ail-
thracite coal were tried at Mauch
Chunk, Penn., 1829; in France two
years earlier, and successfully in Wales
iu 1837. The first iron works in Am¬
erica were established near James¬
town, Vn., in 1619; in 1662 the works
wore destroyed and the workmen and
their families killed by Indians. The
next attempt was at Lynn, Mass., on

—that’s the result you want
to reach. With Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets, you have it.
They cleanse and renovate the
whole system naturally. That
means that they do it thor¬

the smallest in size, but the
most easiest effective—sugar-coated, take. Sick
to Head¬
ache, Bilious Headache, Con¬
stipation, Indigestion, Bilious
Attacks, and all derangements
of the Liver, Stomach and
Bowels are prevented, relieved,
and cured. Purely vegetable,
perfectly laxative, harmless, and gently
or an active cathar¬
tic, according to size of dose.
As a Liver Pill, they’ve been
imitated, but never equaled.
