Newest Steam Engine,
The Parsons turbine, which is the
latest thing in steam engines, is threat
ening to render obsolete the ordinary
marine engine, says the London Eiiily
M.il. In he new destroyer Viper,
which is building by the Parsons Com
pany, a speed of not less than 88 knots,
or some 43 milos an hour, is antici
pated. That is as fast as most Conti
nental and , many English expresses.
It is only five years ago that a speed of
26 knots in destroyers was considered
something phenomenal. So that in
five years f the gain in speed has been
no lesss than 12 knots, a record which
we venture to thintt has nevgr been
equaled for a like period. It took us
SO years to rise fiora 14 knots to 26.

A Famous Skull.
. A recent gift to the Peabody Museum
of American Archaeology and Ethnol
ogy of the famous "Calaveras skull"
reawakens interest in that remarkable
relic of antique man. The skull was
found in 1866 imbedded in gold-bearing
gravel in Calaveras county, California,
at a depth of 127 feet. Above it were
four beds of lava that had flowed from
a now extinct volcanic vent. The late
Prof. J. D. Whitney (whose sister, Mits
Maria Whitney, made the gift to the
museum) was convinced of the genuine
ness of the discovery. The owner of
the skull is supposed to have lived in
the Pliocene epoch, a period so remote
that the most ancient dates of history
seem quite recent in comparison.

Mrs. Finkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor
ous health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly com
ing the most convinciug statements
from women, showing the eiflcacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs. J. C. Orms, of 220
Borner St., Johnstown, Pa , which Is
earnest and straight to the point :
" Dhar Mbs. Pixrham. I feel It my
duty to tell all suffering women that I
think your remedies are wonderful. I
had trouble with my head, dizzy spell
and hot Sashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, tad kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies I am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. I can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in fle&h. I
consider your medicine the best to be
bad for female troubles."
The present Mrs. Pinkham's experi
ence in treating female ills is unparal
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter

Be Bounds a Note of Warning That
Should lid Heeded by All.
One of the points where science
t 'aches us that what is might have
beeri avoided, is in the matter of ir
regular teeth. "A great peicentage 0!
the irregular teeth we see," says Dr.
Thomas H. White, at the northeast
corner ol Morrison and Fourth streets,
"ia caused by the lack of proper care
of the infant teeth. When we come
to considder the great number of teeth
in malposition,- the subject of the oare
of the first teeth assumes new import
ance to us." In discussing this matter
with a representative of the press, re
cently, he said among other things:
"Mothers cannot be too careful in their
consideration of the condition and
character of the first teeth of their
children. The object of this is not to
allow the decay of the first teeth to
proceed so far that they become ulcer
ated or aboesses form at their roots, in
which case extraction is the only solu
tion of the trouble. The first teeth
should be retained ontil nature is ready
to supplant them with other teeth.
This can be accomplished by the tem
porary filling of cavities so that the
teeth may be depended upon in the
mastication of food. The very exercise
of the teeth, as with any other organ of
the body, will aid in keeping them in a
healthy condition. Every part of tbe
body lias a function to perform, and
should De maintained in healthy con
dition to accomplish it if possible.
Every tooth, therefore, that ia extract
ed interferes to a oertain degree with
J the preparatory process of digestion.
Of course, it is not to the interest of
the dentist to have teeth taken care of

THE RUSH OF THE OREGON.
they held her south to Magellan's mouth
Then east they steered her, forth
Through the farther gate of the crafty
strait,
And then they held her north.
Six thousand miles to the Indian Isles!
And the Oregon rushed home,
Her wake a swirl of Jude and pearl.
Her bow a bend of foam.
And when at Rio the cable sang
"There Is war, grim war with Spain!"
The swart crews grinned, and stroked theli
guns,- ,
And thought on the mangled Maine.
In the glimmered gloom of the engine room
mere was joy to each grimy soul.
And fainting men sprang up again
And heaped the biasing coal.
Good need was there to go with care;
But every sailor prayed
Or gun for gun or b!x to one
To meet them, unafraid.
Her goal at last! With joyous blast
She hailed the welcoming roar
Of hungry sea-wolves curved along
The strong-hilled Cuban shore.
Long nights went by. Her beamed ey
Unwavering searched the bay
Where, trapped and penned for a certain
ena,
The Spanish squadron lay.
Out of the harbor a cnrl of smoke
And a watchful gun rang clear.
Out of the channel the squadron broke
Like a bevy of frightened deer.
Then there was shouting for "steam, more
steam!"
And fires glowed white and red,
And guns were manned and ranges planned,
And the great ships leaped ahead.
Then there was roaring of chorusing guns,
Shatter of shell and spray,
And who but the rushing Oregon
Was fiercest in chase and tray?
For her mighty wake was a seething snake;
Her bow was a billow of foam;
Like the mailed fists of an angry wight
.Her shot drove crashing borne. .
Pride of the Spanish navy, ho!
Flee like a bounded beast!
For the Bhlp of the Northwest strikes a blow
For the ship of tbe far Northeast!
In quivering Joy she surged ahead
Aflame with flashing bars,
Till down sunk the Spaniard's gold and red
And up ran the clustered stars. .
Desperate dash and daring rash
Are grand In peace and war,
But tbe calm, deep hate that can plan and
wait
Is deadlier by far.
Glory to share? Aye, and to spare',
But the chiefest Is hers by right
Of a rush of 14,000 miles
For the chance of a bitter fight.

William Aldrlch, an eccentric bach
elor who died at Mlshayvaka, Ind., re
cently, ordefed his own coffin built pre
vious to his death, and the casket was
constructed in the shape of an "L',"
with the perpendicular line at a slight
angle. Aldrich resided In Berrien
County, Michigan, where he was one
of the wealthy land owners and quite
prominent as a Spiritualist. Being
stricken with consumption, he went to
his mother's home to die.
When the queer casket was built ho
had it taJcen to his home to test It, gave
the undertaker instructions as to glass
front, hinges and Inscriptions. At the
funeral the cotlln could pot be placed
in the funeral car, hence several crews
of pallbearers were secured to relieve
each other. The reclining coffin was
placed In a large vault, covered with a
monster slab. Ills mother was in
structed to havt a similar casket built,
that "he might converse with her and
rest comfortably until both enter a
