Mr*. Collin*' Mt?ry.
J am thirty-three years Old, have been mar*
*led seventeen y> ars and have four living
children. My health has not born good sine*
my first child wae born. Tw-lve months ago
1 wae confined, but my baby only lived a few
days. Soon after that I was attacked with irrltation
of the b'adder, choking spells, heart
palpitation, faintiiix spells and great nervousness.
In this terrible condition I was confined
to tny bed eltrlit months. 1 thought I
was dying many times. My dear little helpless
cbi'dren, in ki?sing me at night, often
aald: "Pleased don't die, mamma;" or, apa.
don't let uiamniA ?1 ic to-night." My littla boy
brought me a holies' Birthday Almanac on*
day. and after tea ling it I decided to try tba
PVineof Cardul Treatment. I have taken two
bottle* of McElre>'? \Vin? of Cardul and
three small packages of Thodford's BlackDraught,
and am I ettor than I have been for
ten years. I am visiting my neighbors on
I foot, doing my work with ease, and eat better
than 1 have for years. Uotl only knows how
grateful 1 am for this wonderful medicine
that has worked this great transformation.

HOW WARSHIPS SIGNAL.
AN INGENIOUS DETAIL OF MODERN
NAVIGATION.
Flags by Day und Ra.lo ot
Fire, Lamps and Kleetrio Lljlits
?t Night?The Secret Code.
? J HE methods of signaling from
I , one war vessel to another
3 while cruising or iu notion is
ip ono of the most interesting
and ingenious details of modern navigation.
Brains and inveutive gouius
have been freely expended in devising
new system* .and improving old ones,
until a ro ? .lags and peunants, or
a swaying t u, or Viall of lire can nnI
nibilate miles of rough billows as
easily as the telegraph spuus a continent.
The systems chiefly used by the
Nuvy Department arc flags by day and
lights at night.
The flag system is very simple. Ten
I flags stand for the numerals from ono
to ten. By grouping these flag*, any
combination of numbers may be obtained,
which shall bo equivalent to a
word, phrase or whole senteuce, according
to a code issued by the Navy
Department. For example?265') mav
mean "Running short of coal ;** 3RD,
"Taok to windward 7(>0, "Boiler disabled
45, "Wheel into line for
maneuvering," and so on ad infinitum.
The code books, one of which is found
on every vessel, aro thoroughly indexed,
with each combination of
figures opposite the word, phrase or
sentence it stands for in signaling.
I The combinations are secret and are
carefully guarded to prevout an
enemy, or even a curious Jack Tar
from reading the dispatches from
sel to vessel. The sets of nuir

coal enough the neart
can find to the questioL
ask will be: "We have
expressed by *'073/ f<
This will be answering; 1 he q
fore it is asked, so the "
tory" pennant is flown at
nninernl flags ami the signal is
into a query.
The commandant of the Minnenpo- j
lis hoists a pennant signaling that the
message is received and prepares to
answer it. Timling he has 1100 tons
of coal in the scuppers, his answer will
Vie: "Have J100 tons of coal on
board." He consults the index of his |
code book and finds the sentence:
"Have ? tons of eonl on board." ;
He sends this message first by signaling
the combination of numbers op- j
posite the sentence in the code book,
ami then signals 2100, the number of j
tons.
To do this the first method to suggest
itself would be raising four tings,
two red, each signifying 1, and two
with blue crosses, each standing for
0, and thus spell out 1100. The code
calls for auother method, however, at
once simple and ingenious, and much
more saving of bunting bach vessel
:s provided with a set of pennants
called repeaters?first, second and |
third respectively. When a repeater i
is raised below flags representing t
number** it. shows that one of the uu- 1
inerals above it in repeated in the position
it occupies. The tirst repeater
jueauH the repetition of the tir?t number
of the combination, the second
repeater the secoud number, eud ho j
on. Eleven hundred won hi ne spelled
out in this way: First, a red tlag for
1, then the lirst repeater, showing the
tho first number was repeated ; then a
flag with a blue cross for 0, and finally
the third repeater, showing that the
third number in the combination was
repeated.
The English Navy utilizes the rays
from a powerful electric light with excellent
results. The lamp is concealed
behind adjustable shutters, which
open and close rapidly at the will of J
the operator. These shutters are j
shifted, partially opened or closed,
and combined iu such a manner as to {
throv out shafts of light of different
dimensions, "hapes, inteusitv and duration.
In tnis way a system of telegraphic
signals is established.
Considerable attention has recently
been dirooted toward perfecting a
system of signals by a number of eleotrio
lamps fastened to the mast of a
war vessel, and the Navy Department
recently appointed a board which now
has the subject under consideration.
Many visitors to the World's Fair will
remember an exhibition of this system
during the gorgeous illuminations and
tiroworks displays upon the lake
beneath in front of the manufactures
building. A row of lamps was fastened
between two cords on the mast
of the battleship Illinois, and wheu
the display was at its height these
lamps would flash out combinations
of red and white light, changing order,
forming and reforming, alternating
and transposing positions in the
twinkling of an eye. This mysterious
flashing was accomplished with a koy
board connecting with the wires supplying
electricity to the lamps. The
signal officer manipulated this very
much after tho fashion of a simplified
typewriter, an instant's pressure causing
the lamp to burn brightly and
fade away into darkness.
The idea of this system is to form
combinations of lamps which will serve
the sauio purpose at night as the particolored
pennants do in the daytime.
Tue system is far fro in complete,
however, aud is open to several objections.
It is not unreasonable to
believe, however, that the time is not
fur distant when brains and machinery
vill overcome ocean distances and the

"Aaler Tight Compart.nent*.
The frequency of collisions nt ecu
and their fatal results have led to mauy
investigations and experiments in the
line of water tight compartments. It
is one thing to build u vessel with air
chambers that will llont it, and quite j
another to have safety appliances l
always in order and ready for emergencies.
It has been said that certain
of our large passenger steamships have,
on occasions, turned the water tight
compartments into places for steerage
passengers. Their greed run away j
with their common huinuuity and re- j
gard for the lives of those on board. |
It certainly is a waste of time and en- I
ergy to prepare the means of safety at j
a great expense when proper care is
not taken to keep them within avail* !

It was never owned by the Government,
but was hung where it whs by
