About Postage Stamps-
Interesting Facts Connected With Their
Printing.
During the next year the postage
stamps will be printed at the bureau
of engraving and printing of the treas
ury department instead of by private
contractors. The contract will amount
to over $62,500,000 even at the ex
traordinary low price charged. The
ordinary postage stamp will be fur
nished at five cents a thousand, post
age due stamps at ix 4 cents a thou-1
sand. The contract contemplates a
total of 3,063,633,885 ordinary stamps,
4,346,330 special delivery stamps,
5,544,229 newspaper stamps and 19,-
573,160 postage due stamps. The j
largest number of any one denomina-1
tion to be printed will be the two cent 1
postage stamps, the total being 2,726,- J
769,525; of the one-cent stamps j
1,344,526,650 will be printed. The J
smallest number of any one variety ]
will be 4,420 SSO stamps, which are
used for newspapers mailed in bulk.
The number of SIOO stamps to be
printed will be 12,915. Tnere has
been an enormous increase in the
stamp business. Ten years ago, in
1888, the total value of stamps issued
wa5538,298,74t ; today it is $62,530,-
201; twenty years ago, in 1878, the
total was only $21,180,557.90.
Two Months of War.
Work Dono Sinco tho Congressional Declara
tion.
Two months ago war broke out
between the United States and
Spain, according to the proclama
tion of the President and the decla
ration of Congress. The end of
that period finds nearly 16,000
troops lying off Santiago preparing
to land ; it finds cable communica
tion established between the Gov
ernment at Washington and the ad
vance guard of the expedition in
Cuba, and it finds Cuban territory
in the possession of United States
marines backed by a squadron, and
nearly all of the commercial ports
of Cuba blockaded.
This is all apart from Dewey's
great victory at Manilla, and from
the splendid results achieved in or
ganizing several armies now in the
camps. Therefore, the officers of
the Administration feel that they
have a right to look back with pride
over what has been accomplished
in the short space of two months,
working in a large part with raw
material in both the army and the
navy-
Electricity Under Water.
The use of wire cables under water
lor conducting electric currents was
resorted to as early as 1812 by Baron
Schilling for exploding mines in the
Neva. It is also a well-authenticated
fact that Colonel Parsley used the
same method to blow up the wreck
of the Royal George in 1838, in the
dock at Spithead. It is not unlikely
that the first idea of an Atlantic cable
sprang from these early successes with
the current under water.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir

THROWERS OF OYNAMITt.
The Vciuvhii unit the Nlutliaroy Unllki
the Ship* of Any Navy In the World.
With the Incorporation of the Nicth
eroy into the United Stares Navy, that
branch of the service will have two
ships that are unlike those of any other
r.avy In the world—destroyers on 8|
huge plan. These two shlpß—the Ve
suvius and the Nlctheroy—are throw
ers of dynamite. The explosives which
they throw do not depend, as do those
thrown from the torpedo tubes of or
dinary warships or the missile sent
from a torpedo boat, on any mechani
cal contrivance Inside of the missile.
They travel through the air, and their
propulsive force comes from compress
ed air, which Is stored In a tube that
Is more like a gun than a tube. The
shots have ranges far superior to those
of the torpedo and accuracy which Is
almost perfect
The one question is whether large
ships like these can get near enough to
an enemy to reach him with their shot
They are not like torpedo boats or tor
pedo boat destroyers. They are large
and notloeable objects, and while the
Vesuvius is armored, the Nlctheroy has
little defensive power. But If they do
get near enough to an enemy to use
their dynamite guns properly the ship
against which they operate la doomed.
No armor, no strength of construction,
no bulkheads can save the warship that
is struck by the tremendous charge
of nitro-glycerlne or explosive gela
tine with which the aerial torpedo is
loaded.
The Nlctheroy originally was a mer
chant vessel owned by the Morgan line,
and her name when she was in a peace
ful occupation, was El Old. She was
bought by the Government of Brazil in
the time of the last revolution there,
and was to be used against the Insur
gents, who had seized the navy and
were bombarding the forts In the har
bor of Rio de Janeiro. She was re
fitted pretty thoroughly as a cruiser,
and her coal bunkers were so arranged
that they protect the machinery and
the parts necessary to operate the gun.
The latter Is mounted in the bow, and
projects through an opening in the
spar deck, giving it a clear range for
ward and permitting a free motion on
each side, so that It can be trained
either to port or starboard. The air
reservoirs of the gun are in the lower
hold, on the starboard side, directly
under the gun, and a central air pipe
leads up through the foundations on
which the carriage of the gun rests.
Shields protect the weapon and the
men who serve it.
On the way to Brazil the crew prac
ticed with It, using "dummy" projec
tiles, and its accuracy was found re
markable. The gun was so new, how
ever, that the men were almost as
much afraid of it as the enemy was
expected to be, and there was consider
able relief on hoard when It was found
on arrival in Brazil that there would
be no need for firing It with real dyna
mite, as the revolution was over. Since
then the successful Installation of tvfo
batteries of these guns In United States
forts has made artillerists more con
fident, and much reliance Is placed In
the work of both the Vesuvius and the
Nlctheroy.
TO AIM OUR GUNS.
How the Rang. Finder U Diad In Fine, of
tlie Human Kye.
Seacoast guns, the huge engines
which are intended, not to kill men
directly but to destroy ships of war,
aro not aimed by gunners' eyes, but by
mathematical formula and precise cal
culation. Indeed, there la nothing by
which the eye could sight a modern
coast defense gun for any of the great
ranges, as the weapon points high up
Into the air and not at the object which
is being attacked. This has made It
absolutely necessary to devise a way
of aiming which should be exact, and
the result has been that the high power
rifled steel gun of to-day is the most
accurate cannon ever used in warfare.
Paradoxically, as guns have Increased
their ranges they have increased their
accuracy of fire.
The Instrument that has replaced the
human eye to aim the seacoaat gun Is
called a range and position finder, and
Its purpose is to tell exactly how far
from the cannon muzzle tho ship to be
attacked Is. To accomplish this one
of the most peaceful professions, that
of surveying, has been pressed Into Jkr
vlce, and the range of fire Is ascer
tained by a method based ou the sim
ple process of triangulatlon.
Besides the range, however, the posi
tion of tho ship must be known. Some
forms of range-finders are designed so
that it Is necessary to have two of them
at fair distances from each other, using
the distance between them as the base
of a triangle of which the ship Is the
apex. Thus they tell at once both the
range and the position of the enemy.
Others ascertain the range with one
movement and the position with an
other. Of thle class Is the Lewis
range-finder, which has been Installed
in the forts of the United States. It Is
of the kind known as depression range
finder, and It, too, calculates the dis
tance by triangulatlon. The known
fire guns, as It Is too swift In lta flight.
The aerial torpedo which lg thrown
from the dynamite guns on these two
rocket and 1s about ten feet long. Spi
ral vanes guide Its flight and the ex
plosive charge, consisting of from 200
to 500 pounds of nitro-glycerlne, Is in
the head and middle of the projectile.
When loaded the entire affair weighs
1,000 poundß. It can be set to explode
either on Impact or by a time fuse. A
range of 2,000 yards with entire accu
racy Is attainable.

80ME WAR STORIES. ' *
To Flro Hurt* With Ardor or Patriotism
and tho Lore or Country.
Nothing no fires the youthful heart
with the ardor of patriotism and the
love of country as stories of adventure
by flood and Held in defense of the
fatherland.
The "piping times of peace." which
this nation has enjoyed during a third
of a century, made the American peo
ple almost forget the gallant deeds of
their brave sailor boys in the days
when only wooden walls were between
them and the dbath-deallng missiles of
the enemy. Now that the lowering
brow of grlm-vlsaged war once more
threatens the land, the petty struggles
of political strife are cast aside and
the country again turns to its navy to
protect its shores from invasion and
its honor from Insult.
When tho frigate United States was
lying In the harbor of Norfolk, some
time anterior to the war of 1812, a lit
tle boy in petticoats was in the habit
of accompanying his mother, a poor
woman, who frequently visited the ship
to wash for some of the crew. The
lad, whose name was John Kreamer,
soon became a favorite with the sail
ors and it was determined by them, if
his mother would consent, to adopt him
as the ship's mascot. War was sub
sequently declared against Great Brit
ain and the frigate sailed upon a
cruise, in which she captured the Mace
donian. As the two vessels were ap
proaching each other, Commodore De
catur noticed that little Jack appeared
anxious to speak to him. "What do
you want?" said Decatur. Jack cool
ly answered that "he had come to ask
that his name might be enrolled on the
ship's books." "For what purpose?"
said the Commodore. "Because," re
plied Jack, "I want to draw my share
of the prise-money." Decatur was
pleased with the boy's confident expec
tation of victory, and immediately gave
orders to have Jack'B name registered;
and when the prlze-mcney allowed by
Congress was distributed the youngster
receiver his share. After that he was
an object of special interest to the
Commodore, and as soon as his age
justified his application for a midship
man's warrant it was made and
promptly complied with. Little Jack
•.va3 with Decatur in the President
when she was captured, and in the
Guerriere in the expedition to Algiers.
He afterward sailed in the Franklin
with Commodore Stewart to the Pacific
Jcean. That was his last cruise, as
lie was upset from one of the ship's
boats by a sudden squall in the harbor
if Valparaiso and sunk to the bottom
before any assistance could be afford
ed.
During the bombardment of Tripoli
Capt. Stephen Decatur boarded a Trl
politan gunboat to avenge the death
of his brother, Lieut. James Decatur,
who had been treacherously shot by a
Trlpolitan commander. On boarding
'.he enemy's vessel Decatur attacked
•.he Trlpolitan, who was armed with
spear and cutlass. In the contest,
which for a time appeared doubtful, an
American sailor named Reuben James
saw a Trlpolitan officer aim a blow at
Decatur's head while the latter was
struggling with his opponent. The
blow would have proved fatal had not
the generous and fearless James, who
bad been deprived of the use of both
bis hands by severe wounds, rushed
between the sabre and his commander
tnd received the blow on his own head,
by which his skull was badly fractured,
in the meantime Decatur, whose sword
had broken at the hilt, seized his
enemy's spear, and after a violent
struggle succeeded in throwing him to
;he deck. The Turk now drew a dirk,
ind when in the act of striking Decatur
:aught his arm, drew a pistol from his
pocket and shot him through the head.
Immediately after the declaration of
:he last war with England Elbert An
ted Troy, where he purchased a large
quantity of provisions. Tho inspect
jrs for the Government were Ebenezer
ind Samuel Wilson. The latter was
more familiarly known as "Uncle
3am," and he superintended the work
n person. On this occasion a large
lumber of workmen were employed in
jverhauling the provisions purchased
by tho contractor for the army. The
:asks were marked E. A., U. S. This
vork fell to the lot of a facetious fellow
n the employ of the Messrs. Wilson,
who, on being asked by some of his fel
ow-workmen the meaning of the mark
(for the letters "U. 8." for United
States were then almost entirely new
to them), said "Uncle Sam" Wilson.
The Joke took among the workmen,
ind "Uncle Sam" himself being pres
?nt, he was occasionally rallied by
them on the increasing extent of hie
possessions. Many of the workmen
toon followed the recruiting drum to
the war, and their old Joke on "Uncle
Bam" Wilson accompanied them and
gained favor rapidly until "Uncle
3am" was finally recognized as the
naterlallzation, in name at least, of the
American Government. It was regard
id, even in those days, as very odd that
.his silly Joke, which originated in the
midst of beef, pork, pickle, salt and
ither edibles, should be the foundation
)f what eventually became the national
:ognomen.

Two Months' Achievements,
The war is a little more than two
months old It was April 20th that
the President signed and sent the ul
timatum ot this country to Spain and
also signed a notification of intention
to blockade the Cuban ports. This
date will undoubtedly be taken in future
as the beginning of the war, although
a formal declaration was not made
until May 25. What has been achiev
ed in the two months ?
In the hrst place, one of the great
est victories in naval warfare has been
won by Admiral Dewey, and the
Phillippme Islands, the richest and
moit valuable colonial possession of
Spain, have been placed in such a
condition that the United States can
take and hold them whenever it
chooses. This alone is a feat which
any nation might be proud to perform
in so brief a time.
The only thing this country had to
fear from Spain was its navy. This,
even in its decrepit condition, could,
if skillfully handled, have been a
source of anxiety and have caused
damage at unprotected points on the
coast of the United States. The neu
tralizing of this fleet, it was acknowl
edged, was one of the most desirable
events of the war. In less than two
months this has been accomplished
and Cervera's ships lie securely
bottled in Santiago Harbor with then
capture or destruction as certain as
any future event can be.
The need of a trained army it was
felt would be one of the greatest
drawbacks to the prosecution of the
war. To gather, equip and drill such
an army needs time, thought and
money. It is probable that no nation
in the condition the United States
was last April ever did so much in
two months to prepare an army for
ac.aal service as this country has done.
At least 150,000 volunteers are gath
ered and 50,000 more will soon be
added. Two expeditions have sent
away, one to the Phillipines, 6000
miles off, and another to Cuba to aid
the navy in the capture of Santiago.
These are the three great achieve
ments of two months of war. If any
one is dissatisfied with the progress
made let him show what nation, be
ginning where the United States did
two months ago, has achieved as
much in the same time.— Press.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.
What suffering frequently results
from a mother's ignorance; or more
frequently from a mother's neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says "woman must suffer,"
and young women are so taught.
There is a little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina
tion; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkliam's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa., shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that I
had to leave school. I was tired all tho
time, and had dreadful pains in my
1 side and back. I was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. I was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. I followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. I'inkham's
Vegetable Compound aqd Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as I
ever was. I have gained flesh and havo
a good color. I am completely cured ol
irregularity."
