explained to the children the deadly ma
ture of Sin; that it resembled the poison
of the serpent; spoke of the brazen SER

Illustrated the second selection, the

force that all could perceive, but none
comprehend; showed how the child
could be drawn to Christ through the
Cody parent, and the parent through
the influence of God fearing children /;
spoke of the duties of both parent and
children-and used great effort to bring
his illustrations and remarks within the
comprehension of his little hearers.

WHAT THE SHAKERS BELIEVE ABOUT Dis
xAsE.-They have learned from many years
experience, that nine tenths of all the diseases
of mankind arise from imperfect digestion Of
food; for this reason they have spent years of
labor in preparing the Shaker Extract of
Roots (Seigel's Syrup, and it operates like a
charm in all cases of indigestion. 1t is not
what we eat that makes US strong, but that
which we digest; this is the doctrine of the
Mount Lebanon Shakers; people who are weak
and languid, tired and feeble often wonder.
The reason is that the food eaten doesn't give
strength because it is not digested; the Shaker
Extract of Roots (Siegels Syrup will restore
the digestion to a healthy condition and drive
away the headache, the pain in the side and
back, the distress after eating and make the
sleep afford rest. B. B. Moore, druggist, al
Champlain, N. Y, writes, We are using your
medicine in my family for constipation, re-
suling from dyspepsia, with the most satisfac>
tory results. Use Shaker Tar Capsules fol
coughs. 5 2S-4t

THE storm of last Saturday has shown
that in the construction OF the national
monument III WashingtOn,t the problem of
protecting the immense shaft from light
ming was not satisfactorily solved.
Though great pains were taken to make
it secure in this respect, the present ap>
pliances have not been able to stand
the test. Immediately after the STERN,
a telescope examination was made,
which showed that the capstone had
been shattered at the northeast point
of the base,and that in the last course of
stone there was an extensive vertical
crack. 1t may be necessary to rebuild the
roof. AT any rate, the staging which has
been removed will have to be replaced.

IT is gratifying to note that there are
plenty of candidates among the Repub-
licans for the offices to be filed at the
October election. In the friendly con-
tests for nominations, Republicans
should keep in mind that the Represen-
tatives to the General Assembly are the
important offices to be voted for and all
other considerations should be subser-
Went to that of selecting men for that
position, at the:approaching convention,
who will carry the entire Republican
vote. 1t is very proper to elect men of
ability to legislative bodies, but ability
will not count if the party is defeated
by the candidacy of unpopular rner
Available men should be placed in nom
iDation by the convention to cor7'aI' ::

The Bellaire independent rises to re-
mark, that the next county treasurer
may be Democrat if the Republicans
get up too much of scramble. 1t is moi
a walk+oVer by any means" Just sol In
presenting candidates for the suffrages
of the people, the approaching county
Republican convention should select
men, for all the Offices to be filled, who

antagonized for any reason By any con
siderable number of Republicans.
