Aii Expensive- Cleaning Up.
It ia estimated that it costs about
twelve thousand dollars to dock, clean,
paint and dry a Bteel cruiser. As this
process must be gone through with
every four or five months, it is not
necessary to go very deeply into fig- I
ures to discover that warshipi are
rather expensive luxuries. So great
is this item that experiments of all
aorts have been tried, in the hope of
finding something to keep away the
barnacles that cause most of the dam- i
*ge. The latest idea is that of electro- \
plating the entire hull of the iron
plated or steel ship, this is aone uy ,
means of curved boxes fitting thevari- j
OU8 part? of the hull. These boxes
are secured to the hull and made
watertight by means of rubber puck- M
ing. The electro-plating fluid and the j.
necessary batteries are applied to the
carefully cleaned surface of the hull,
and in a period of three days' time j
there is a firm and continuous plating
of copper over the metal. This costs
ft trifle less than eight thousand dol- ^
lars, and is said to last three years at
least, and if the work is -vtell dono and
with the very choicest materials,much ^
longer. This process is certainly a
great deal cheaper than the tri-yearly
oleaning and scraping, and will in all
probability be adopted by the Government.?New

For Humanity's Sake, After Thirty-*!* ^
Years of Nerve-Creeping Slavery, He n
Tells How He Was Set Free. 6
Caldwell, X. J.. March 26. 1895.?(Special.) ^
?Sinoe ono of our prominent citizens suf- n
fered so terribly from tobacco tremens, has s
made known his frightful experience in be- j(
half of hbmanity, the ladies here are making
tobacco-using husbands' lives miserable with
their entreaties to at once quit tobacco.
The written statement of 8. J. Gould is
attracting wide-spread attention. When
interviewed to-night he said : I commenced
using tobacco at thirteen; I am now fortynine;
so, for tkirty?*ix years I chewed,
smoked, snuffed and rubbed snuff. In the
morning I chewed before I put my pants on,
and for a lonpr time I used two ounces of
chewing and eight ounces of smoking a day.
Sometimes I had a chew in both checks and
a pipe in my mouth at once. Ten years ago
1 quit drinking whiskey. I tried to stop tobacco
time and again, but could not. My
nerves craved nicotine and I fed them till
my skin turned a tobacco-brown, cold, sticky
perspiration oozed from my skin, and
trickled down my back at the least exertion
or excitement. My nerve vigor and
my life was being slowly sapped. I made up
my mind that I had to quit tobacco or die.
On October 1 I stopped, and for three days
I suffered the tortures of the damned. On
the third day I got so bad that my partner
accused me of being drunk. 1 said, 'No. I
have quit tobacco.' 'For God's sake, man,'
he saia, offering me his tobacco box. 'take a
ohew; you will go wild;' and I was wild.
Tobacco was forced into me and I was taken
? home dazed. I saw double and my memory
was beyond control, but I still knew how to
j chew and smoke, which I did all day. until
' toward night, when my system got tobaccoBoaked
again. The next morning I looked
and felt as though I had been through a long
Bpell of sickness. I gave up in despair, as I
thought that I could not cure myself. Now.
for suffering humanity. I'll tell what saved
my life. Providence evidently answered my
good wife's prayers anil brought to her attention
in our paper an article which read:
'Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke Your Life t
Away!' *
"What a sermon and warning in theso
words! Just whet I was doing. It told F
, about a guaranteed cure for the tobacco
habit, called No-To-Bac. I sent to Druggist f
Easier for a box. Without a grain of faith
I spit out my tobacco cud, and put into my c
mouth a little tablet upon which was t
etamped No-To-Bac. I know it sounds like 1
a lie when I tell you that I took eight tablets *
the first day, seven the next, live the third
day, and all the nerve-creeping feeling, rest- c
lessness and mental depression was gone. It n
was too good to be true. It seemed like a f
dream. That was a month ago. I used one ,
box. It cost me one dollar, and it is worth *
a thousand. I gained ten pounds in weight C
and lost all desire for tobacco the first day. g
I sleep and eat well, and I have been bene- +
flted in more ways than I can tell. Nr>, the
cure was no exception in my ca>e. I Know *
of ten people right here in. Caldwell who s
have bought no No-To-Bac from Hasler. and j
they have been cured. Now that I realize j
what No-To-Bac has done for me and others, 1
I know why it is that the makers of this
wonderful remedy, the Sterling Remedy ^
Company, of NeV York and Chicago. n
^ Bay: *Wd_ don't claim to cure
every case. inat s r ra.iu a taiic. a ne, out v
we do guarantee three boxe* to cure the to B
W haceo habit, and in case of failure we are t
perfectly willing t?> refund money.' I would
not give a public indorsement if I were not
certain of its reliability. I know it is backed g
by men worth a million. Xo-To-Bae has t
been a God-send to me. and I firmly believe ].
it will cure any case of tobacco using if faithfully
tried, and there are thousands of to- 8
bacco slaves who ought to know how easy it a
is to get free. There's happiness in No-To- ^
Bac for the prematurely old men, who think
MI did that they are old and worn out, when
tobacco is the thing that destroys their vital- 1
lty and manhood." t
The public should be warned, however, j
gainst the purchase of any of the many imitations
on the market, as the success of NoTo-Bac
has brought forth a host of counter- 8
feitersand imitators. The genuine No-To- r
Bac is sold under a guarantee to cure, by all
druggists, and every tablet has^he word NoTo-Bao
plainly stamped thereon, and vou a
run no physical or financial risk in purchas- \
ing the genuine article. t

g BEKIt AND SOUND HEARTS.
5r, The finest" lnger beer made anywhere ii
~ the world is the Munich beer, of Germany.
? But now comes from Dr. Bollinger a verj
j. strange statement. It is that there are few
jj adult persons in Munich with sound heart;
n and kidneys, and he attributes it to Munich
ie beer. It overloads the heart and the strair
u weakens it. It overtaxes the kidneys, anc
they are injured. Formerly the health)
peasants from the count ry came into the cit)
in numbers sufficient to keep up the staminf
of the citizens, but now the beer is sent intc
the country and the peasant population havt
d weak hearts and kidneys too. There is nc
is remedy for this but total abstinence. Sc
a long as people believe in its harmlessnes;
to they will use it. It seems an absolute ner.
cessity to spread a knowledge of its effects
e and then if people go on using it they mus'
d suiler the consequences and can blame onh
o themselves.

how rAcruns are made :n London.
n The Westminster Gazette gives an ao
ie count of the following scene recently ob
lt served by a correspondent in the southwesi
iy of London: A crowd of children, mo6tlj
dirty and ragged, jostling at the entrance o
r_ a public house: two bigger giris, one with i
' shawl over her head and a baby in her arms
.q auusing eacn oiner. anu ureamng ou tc
dance. Packets of sweets in most of tht
hands, some scrambling for the droppei
,e ones. I asked, "Where did you get all those
,7 sweets?" Silence. Then a taller child said
"From Mr. ?; he guv 'em as a Christina;
|(j box;" so I opened the door and watched
The public was full of children, and Mr.?
ly was handing out his packets, and apparently
jp trying to prevent repeated applications
This is how we make our paupers?just a;
? the constant music at the doors of the pub
?s lies draws children and lads and girls, whe

? often. If the publican wants to give sweets
Le why doesn't he do it elsewhere than acrosi

d THE CHCRCH AXD THE LIQCOR TRAFFIC,
s- In respect to the attitude of the Church relating
to this ijucstion, it would not be tru<
to say that, as a body, the Church has surrendered
to the liquor oligarchy. It is tru<
rl to say that it is so seriously crippled as tc
:o prevent any successful warfare. Let us
t- however, be just: the Church is the greates1
3. foe the liquor dealers face to-day; the delivu
erances of its chief councils are strong anc
e unequivocal; its ministry as a body is by nc
h means tongue-tied or paralyzed, but it!
d weakness lies in it? want of unity and in th<
it application of practical remedies. When ii
P- attempts to marshal its forces to attack thi.<
is greatest foe of society, these forces scatter

general scott and temperance,
e General Scott was in command at Rock
t- Island when the eholeia broke out there
n and, after various injunctions in his ordei
o as to sobriety and cleanliness, he added this
y curious paragraph, which was recently printI
ed in the Magazine of American History:
''In addition to the foregoing, the senioi
1- surgeon present recommends the use of flanir
nel underclothing, and woolen stockings:
y but the commanding general, who has seen
i- much of disease, knows that it is intemperd
ance which, in the present state of the atis
mosphere, generates and spreads the calame
ity. and that when once spread, good and
I, temperate men ore likely to take infection.
"He therefore peremptorily commands that
every soldier or ranger who shall be found
<lru..k or sensibly intoxicated after the publication
of this order be compelled, as soon as
his strength will permit, to dig a grave at a
j* suitable burying place, large enough for his
own reception, as such grave cannot fail sooe
" to do wantoa lor tne urunKen man mmsenoi
1 some drunken companion. This order fc
1 given as well to serve for the punishment of
8 drunkenness as to spare good and temperate
8 men the labor of digering graves for their
? wor.hless companions."
? MADAME rATTI ON ALCOHOLIC STIMULANTS.
t Madame Pntti has uttered some strong
n convictions on the effect of alcohoJic liquors
1 on the human voice. She thinks anyone
u who aspires to (success as n vocalist should
, be a total abstainer. Sho says: "Alcoholic
stimulants of any kind tend to irritate the
throat, and should be entirely abstained
from. Even light wines are no exception to
ii this rule. Most people are familiar with the
t hoarse voice of the hard drinker, and it is
t often said of such nu individual that he has
burnt his throat with ilrink. Evon a moderate
use of alcohol may. therefore, tend to
make the voice husky." Thus all indications
point to total abstinence.

AN ALARMING STATEMENT J
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED, i
The New York Tribune says "The habit of ?
talcing ' headache powders' is increasing to an
J alarming; extent among a great number of wo- *
men throughout the country. These powders aa J
their name indicates, are claimed try tiie manu- j
facturers to be a positive and speedy cure for any |
form of headache. In many cases their chief I
ingredient is morphine, opium, cocaine or some s
other equally injurious drug having a tendency
* to deaden pain. The habit of taking them is
' easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
' off. "Women usually begin taking them to ref
lieve a raging headache and soon resort to the
t powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to, and finally like the mor!
phineoropium fiend, get into the habit of taking
them regularly, imagining that they are in paiu
j if they happen to miss their regular dose."
j In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver. Take a simple
1 laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
- stomach and causes the headache. Dr.
1 Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are composed
entirely of the purest, concentrated,
' vegetable extracts. One Pellet is a
, dose; sugar-coated, easily swallowed;
, once used, always in favor. They posi,
lively cure sick headache and remove
? the disposition to it
Mr. Vargason, of Oiler Lake, Lapeer Co.,

of the headache.
