Few people know that all plants con-
tain digestive principles. They cannot
absorb their food until it is digested
any more than animals can. The Mt.
Lebanon Shakers have learned the art
of extracting and utilizing these diges-
tive principles, and it is for this reason
that their Shaker Digestive Cordial is
meeting with such phenomenal success
in the treatment of dyspepsia. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial not only con
tains food already digested, but it also
contains digestive principles which aid
the digestion of other foods that may be
eaten with it. A single 10 cent sample
bottle will be sufficient TO demonstrate
its value, and we suggest that every
suffering dyspeptic make trial of 1t.
Any druggist can supply 1t.
LAXOL is the best medicine for chill

of Castor Oil.

FIRE EXT!NGUISHERS.
Tho Ancient Specimens and the Transition
to the Modern Machine.

What is perhaps the oldest known fire
engine for pumping water is mentioned in
the ''Spiritalia" of Hero, about $50 b. c.
This engine had two single acting pumps,
the plungcrs of which wero worked by Il
single beam pivoted between the two. The
streams united in a single discharge pipe,
passing up trunk in which was an air
chamber and out at a nozzle which could
DO turned in any direction. This descrip-
ton might stand for great many forms
of hand fire engines used even to the pres
ent day. The early Romans appear to
have paid quite some attention to fire ex-
tinguishing apparatus and had an organ
lied fire brigade.
Something like the more modern fire
engine appears to have been brought out
in the early part of the sixteenth century
and is described as water syringe"
This WAS mounted on wheels and was
worked by levers. Fire engines of this
kind were apparently much used in Ger
many. In England, during the latte
part of the sixteenth century, largo brass
syringcs were employed, holding several
quarts of water and operated by three
men, two holding the syringe at each
side with one hand and directing the noz-
gle with the other and the third operating
the plunger. After having discharged the
water the syringe was refilled from els
tern or well near the fire or from buckets
Later these water squirts were fitted to
portable cisterns or tanks.
In the latter part of the seventeenth CEN
fury portable engine, mounted on els
tern or tank, from which the water was
drawn, was introduced in England by
Newsham. This engine was in many re-
spects similar to the modern hand fro en-
CINE and continued in use in England up
to 1892.
The Newsham engine was perhaps the
first successful fire engine and really was
the pioneer of the modern manually oper-
ated engines The pumps were of various
sizes and designs and were in most cases
operated by levers. Various forms of en-
gines, similar to the Newsham engine,
continued in use as late as 1S50.--Cas-

W. II. Wood of Portland and W. H.
Marston of this city played their third
game in the series of three-ball billiard
matches, in the Bangor house billiard hail.
Bangor, Saturday afternoon, which was
won by Mr. Marston by a score of 200 to
1874. This game was arranged to be
played for a wager of $50 SIDE but be-
fore it was commenced the wager was in
creased to $3.50. Quite a number went
from here to witness the game and sup
port Marston. Before the game com
menccd the sympathy of the large crowd
seemed to be with Wood, and that gentle
man taking the lead as he did, caused
Marston to play another plucky up hill
game, winning again the sympathy and
support of the Bangor contingent of the
crowd present. The game was played on
new quick table, with new balls and all
OF Woods former objections were thus
met. As the game was commenced, Wood
took lead of about 10 points, which he
kept till past the first So Then Marston
closed the gap aud passed tho 100 mark
much in the lead. Near the $50 corner,
Wood had gained So that he was but two
points behind. From that time on Mars
ton played n steady game, making fine
shots and displaying good nerve, while
Wood appeared very nervous and missed
many easy shots. Marston here won the
sympathy of the crowd, which seemed to
discourage Wood, and at the end of the
game the score stood 16 points in Mars
tons favor.

PHILANTHROPY RUSSELL SAGE.
A Generous Deed Mixed Up Little With
Some Call Loans.

A Generous Deed Mixed Up a Little With
Some Call Loans.
A we'll known Wall street man told this
story at the Windsor hotel:
Russell Sage summers at Lawrence,
N. Y. He goes down every afternoon and
returns to New York in the morning. Not
far from his home lives family only
about well to do. One summer an aged
relative visited this family. She was in
poor health, and Mr.. Sage had known the
family a long time, and when the sick
woman came he believed that daily drive
in the cool of the day would benefit her.
He purchased u fine victoria and a big bay
and sent them to the aged lady with his
compliments. 1t was gilt outright, but
the poor soul was too far gone, and sho
died after a single drive in the fine equi-
page. Mr. Sage then insisted that the fam
lily accept the equipage. Along late in the
fall while members of the family were
ont for a drive, their victoria was smashed
by collision with the carriage of wealthy
resi1ss,t, and the horse was killed The
family waited reasonable time to hear
frosn the wealthy resident. No word came.
The head of the household then wrote to
the wealthy resident, who by the way, is
q man of affairs in New York, and in the
letter requested remuneration for the big
bay and the victoria. There was no re-
Spouse. As Il last resort the family COM
planned to Mr. Sage.

CAPITAL VENTILATION.
Tho Senate Wing Being Investigated BY
Boston Specialist.


Boston Specialist.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-S. H. Wood
bridge of the Boston Institute of Tech
nology who is an expert on ventilation. is
engaged in making an investigation of
the method of ventilating the senate wing
Of the capital. He is working under
resolution adopted just prior to the ad'
journment of the last session which in
structed the sergeant-at- to have an
investigation made and to secure report
specifying the changes which can be made
to obtain an improvement If 1t appears
that any improvement is possible. The
present ventilating apparatus consists OF
a large fan, by which air is forced into the
senate chamber thro ugh vault from the
outside room and has been in use ever
since the senate wing was first occupied.
1t has called forth no inconsiderable
criticism, which was especially strong dur
ing the past winter, when the sessions
were long, the attendance in the galleries
large and the weather so cold that win
dows could not be opened. Mr. Wood
bridge is expected to report to the commit
tee on rules by the opening of the next
session.

A Valuable Tip.

Moissonier lived and died at Poissy. A
few years before the downfall of the EN-.
pire Princess Mathilda, who was a great
admirer Of the artist, paid visit to his
studio. Mcissonier pressed her to stay to
dinner. The princess would no doubt
have gladly accepted the invitation, but
she was anxious to get back early to Paris,
and the $3.50 express did not stop at Poissy.
''Is that all?' said Meissonier. II will
put that right
And he walked down to the station
where he obtained authority to stop the
express. Next day he went to thank the
station master and promised him study.
Some time later the station master re-
minded the artist of his promise
THE fact is, I'm at loss for subject {"
well, then, paint my portrait"
And thus 1t came to pass that the Poissy
station master obtained a picture which
at the present day is worth from 12, 600 to
10, 900 francs.-Journal de Rouen.
