J. Ross writes in the Engineering and
Mining Journal that since the diamond
discoveries in South Africa the Brazilian
diamond mining industry has fallen so low
that the annual output is now not over
200, when thirty years ago it was up
ward of 81, 500, 900. Brazilian diamonds are
SO much smaller than the. african that it
does not pay to mine them against African
competition.

FEW KNOW ABOUT THE SHAKERS
Of MOUNT LEBANON.

We may not accept their culiar religious
views. We cannot enter into the spirit of
their sacrifices ,and therefore we do not
STUDY their habits of life.
II is not necessary to believe as they 90,
put we can and do respect their sincerity
Oh Oh purpose and the honor ana uprlghtness
whie d mark all their business dealings.
In one particular the Shakers excel all
otief men or classes OF men. Ihls Is IN the
cultivation OF medicinal herbs and plants.
They have made a study for more than
one hundred years. They are also expert
In extracting from them their characters
TICS essences and medicinal virtues.
:. ms is their peculiar industry. IheIr
lives have been devoted to It. BY it they

Now this. lifelong study on the part, of
the Shakers has not been in vain. They
have accomplished much good. Their med
!clnal extracts and cordIalS are known
Throughout the world.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is probably
the most useful medicine ever given to the

Will cure. and That is indges stion. 1t is not
pretended that it will cure anything else, nd
sufferer has not long to wait to see the
result. The effect is immediate. Almost

tlnued. permanent cure Will follow. The
Shaker motto is:-'tProve all things and

Good Advice to Cape Elizabeth.
To tie Editor of the PRESS:

f
AS the town is now divided and Cape
Elizabeth is by itself we must rely upon
ourselves for whatever success we way
meet in the future. We expect to encounter
more or less obstacles as that is something
d town, state or nation ever fully escapes.
but when met with bold front and a
union of opinion and effort, they are often
easily surmounted and frequently prove to
be beneficial instead of otherwise.
There has never been a time during my
renem mbrance when any sectional OF polit-
ical strife has been experienced to the det-
riment of any particular portion of the in
habitants of what is now our new town !;
and at the present time, the disposition is
to so administer our affairs that each one
may bear his just burden. and enjoy his
just share of privileges.
If this principle is strictly adhered to in
the future. our success will be certain.
The subject now before us is to get the
machinery in order to administer to the re-
quirements of the inhabitants, county and
state. Economy should be the motto to fol-
low in our expenditures. every dollar should
receive an equivalent whether expended
upon highway. schools or in any kind of la
bor manual or otherwise. for one carnot
afford to pay extra for qualifications; nor
do I believe it will be required, for the
public spirit of our citizens will cause them
to render their services at usual rates for
common labor.
In choosing municipal officers we
should lay aside political views and make
our choice from those best fitted for the
respective duties which they are to pei
form.
There are some complications to be ad-
justed between the town of South Portland
and our own, but If an equitable adjust
ment is the object sought by both parties.
there need De no misunderstanding or ill
will engendered thereby.
Whatever do let us work in harmony
and ever have in mind the welfare and
prosperity OF our town, and the result will
be satisfactory. .. D. J.
