Rmrely hue the shipyards of England shown such netivxty in the construction of war vessels as is visible Lhere to-day. Nine huge battle ships, of the largest type in the world, being 3'! tons displacement and 13,000 horse-power,~ are now under con- struction or about to be laid down. They are the Jupiter, on the Clyde ;the Mars, on the Merse; the Majestic, Prince George, and Caesar,“ Portsmouth ; the Hannibal at Pembroke ; the Magnificent,Illustrious,and Victorious, at Catham. To this list; may be added the battle ship Renown of 12,350 tons and 10,000 horse-power, now in pro- gress at Pembroke. Of the cruisers build- ing two, the Powerful and Terrible, far aurpassin their class any thing everbefore de- signed. They are of 14,200 tons displacement each,and have the enormous aggregate of 25,000 indicated horse-power each. Then come a. class of cruisers of 5,600 tons displacement, and with 9.600 horse-power. They are the Venus, Diana, Dido, Isis, Juno, Doris, Minerva, Eclipse, and Talbot. Somewhat smaller, of 4,360 tons and 0.000 horse-power, are the Fox and the Flora. The four great torpedo‘boat destroyers Havock, Hornet, Darlng, and Decoy, of which the two former have already shown such extraordinary speed, are famous the World oVer. But these are only the pioneers of a. great fleet of similar vessels. 0n the Clyde there are the Rocket, the Shark, the Surly, the Fervent, and the Zephyr ;at Bar- row, the Skate. the Starfish, and the Stur- geon ; on the Mersey, the Ferret, the Lynx, the Banshee, and the Contest. All these are of about 200 tons and 4,000 horse-power, and the fit successors of the Hornet. But the list is not complete till we add from other private yards on the Tyne, the Thames, the Humber, the Wear, or at East Cowes twenty-three other torpedo-boat destroyers. Then of gun vessels we find building at Davenport the Hussar of 1,070 tons and 3,500 horse-power, and at Sheer- ness the Torch and the Alert of 960 tons and 1,400 horse-power. Some of the ves- sels here named may not yet be begun, but all are planned. Take in conjunction with this array the explanation made the other day by the Government that it does not wish to make known its full programme of new construction, but only such aninstall- ment of it as must immediately be carried into effect, and is will be seen what Great Britain is doing to, keep up her naval su- “remacy. The rapid substitution of steam and elec- tricity for flesh and blood in its relation to the use of horses is at tracting consider- able attention and eliciting much spec u- lation as to where it will end. Not only is the change affecting the cities, but the farmers are beginning to apply the new motors and it is said that, already in the west much farm produce is being moved over to the roads by electric trolleys, while the electric passenger car for country roads is promised and the bicyle is crowding out the horse Saddle. It is within the memory of many when rivers and harbors were dredged by horses, when these once useful animals unloafided all the ships in the bar- bor and when innumerable small industries employed horse‘power windlasses to drive their machines. That there will yet be nothing left for horses to do but draw ordinary vehicles for family use or the sul'l‘ry upon the race course is evident. The loss of the horse as a companion is no trifling consideration. The influence of the higher order of domestic animals upon the general moral and aesthetic tone of so- ciety is not easily computed or fully recog- nized. The thought of eliminating the fat and pudgy equine from the domestic circle and substituting therefor soulless drivers of iron and steel is not a consoling one. It would, however, argue small faith in human nature to assume that men will part com- pany with the noble horse, with his glossy coat and graceful step, because the electric carriage has become the lending fad. It will be the better for the animal in the end. He will be relieved of the more cruel and inhuman tasks to which he has been subjected; but his race will be transformed into one utilized for more humane purposes than pounding pavements in advance of street cars and tugging under cruel burdens and more cruel drivers. Whoever believes that labor saving machinery, run on prin- ciples of equity will ultimately humanize rather than brutalize industry will refuse to believe that similar devices will exter- ‘minatc the noblest of all the inferior ani- mals. On the contrary they will conspire to beautify and ennoble the splendid crea- ture. Society will alWays refuse to be divorced from its dear and faithful compan- ion. Decoration of the Home. The decoration of the home is avery laudable ambition on the part of women, but it is much to be feared that they err on the side of over decoration. In one small room we often see congregated and crowded together every possible and im- possible decoration. The walls and ceilings are covered with patterns. Patterns crawl over the chintzes and curtains, and the carpets are either mosaics, of imitation eastern coloring or else' are covered over with sprawling arrangement of lea.ch and spotty flowers. The result of all this is that the eye becomes fatigued, and when really fine and noble design is nlaced in really fine and such a mom it because of the patterns that a.- point on the flu It. is noticed in As a rule sarcasm is a. boiéte for liver medicine. visitors ( in};r artic Activity in British Shipyards.

Hood’sSarsapariHa on, and to the reckless precription of these fency drugs by doctors the most- learned German physicians are now ascrib- mg the prevalence of heart failure. An- other cause giver is the reckless prepara- tion and use of tonics for the nerves and blood purifiers put up in liquid form. These so-called blood purifiers and nerve tonics contain strychnine and other poisons in solution, the most dangerous method of administering these drugs. “ Shake well" invariably means that there is strychnine in the mixture, for strychnine sinks to the ‘bottom, and if the bottle is not thoroughly shaken the last doses are poisonous, and in many cases absolutely dangerous. The effects of many of these deadly poisons on the heart is accumulative, that is to say, they are slow poisons. The patient feels all right and in good health when he is taking them, tut he occasionally has a feeling of “ goneness” over the heart, and a prickly sensation in the fingers and toes. Nothing is thought of this until all of a sudden the heart stops and death comes in a moment. There are certain diseases that also leave a poison in the blood that paralyzes the acoion of the heart. La. grippe typhoid and diphtheria are always followed by bad blood and heart failure. A case of this kind occurred in this city ‘ this spring. Eugene lhomss, a wood-turner by trade, took la. grippe and after he re- covered he was troubled with peculiar pains and it “gone” feeling over the heart. The doctors told him to be very careful as he was subject to heart failure, and not to jump out of bed suddenly or climb a long stairs without taking a rest. He got so bad at last that his heart would almost stop if he stood up. He had to quit work land to remain in bed or else propped up with cushions on a sofa. so as to give his hesrt as little work as possible. Finding that other medicines were doing him little good, he was led to try a box of Schiller’s Sarsapsrilla Pills. Five boxes completely cured him of all heart trouble and he is as _. well as; ever. He believes that if it were = not for Schiller’s Sarsaparilla Pills he would be in his grave from heart failure. Sold by all druggists at 50c. per box, six boxes $2.50. H. K. Schiller & 00..

A new disease of a. very deadly character is heart failure. This disease is becoming alarmingly frequent, so frequent in fact, that it is almost an epidemic. Heart failâ€" ure was almost unknown before la. grippe laid siege to the human system a few years ago. Now hardly a newspaper can be pick- ed up without containing the record of the death of some well-known man from this disease. Many doctors say that they can- not account for heart failure, that even the healthiest persons are not free from it. There are a few German doctors who have been recently investigating the matter, and they ascribe heart iailure to a poisoning of the heart, or a. weakening of the nerves that control the heart‘s action. through the taking of many of the fancy drugs recently placed on the market as tonics to take the placo of quinine. The action of a great manyof these preparations with high sound- ing names, for expelling fevers, headaches and colds, is not yet well defined, although every day prescribed by doctors in their mixtures and they are nearly all heart do- pressors. Anything that interferes with the action of the heart is a heart pois- Whether this is true or not, several deadly diseases have become alarmingly prevalent recently, that were not known twenty years ago. For instance thereis diphtheria. which is one of the deadliest diseaSes known. Bright’s disease is another malady modern in origin, and typhoid fever was little known fifLy years ago, neither was 13 grippe. These diseases may be due largely to modern methods of living, the food, the cooking, and the surroundings.
