SHAKERS AND DOCTORS TALK
TOGETHER.

In his able work entitled "Longeuity," pub.
iisbed few years ago, DR.. John Gardner, OF
England, predicts that vegetable agent will
VET be found tina shall so retard those changes
that bring about old age as to prolong human
life much beyond its present limit
Acting, perhaps upon the impulse produced
by this thought, many eminent physicians have
called from time to time upon the Shakers of
Mt. Lebanon to inquire of them concerning the
secrets ofmedicinal plants. in which these sin
cere, simple minded and God Soaring people are
known to be wise and skillful beyond all other
men
The Shakers willingly told what they had
learned and in return received from their visi-
tors much valuable information about disease
which they at once made practical use Of The
most important point was that If genuine and
certain remedy could be found for indigestion
and dyspepsia, and the ailments growing out
of it, a long step would be taken in the right
direction. Old age, said these physicians,
begins in failure OF the digestion, and so do
most diseases at any and all periods of life.
The result of these consultations was the dis
covery by the Shakers Of the desired specific,
made wholly from herbs, and now known as
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. Its action is
magical and worthy of its origin
Where there is distress after eating, heart
burn, sick headache, bad taste in the mouth,
biousness weakness and WEAKNESS, cold
hands and feet, aversion to food, nervousness.
or any other symptom of dyspepsia, The Cordial
will prove its curative virtues. Behind it is the
reputation of d people who have never defr aud
ed or deceived their fellow men.
In order to test whether this remedy is adapt
ed to your case, at practically no cost you may
procure trial bottle for ten cents of almost
any druggist.

would be sufficient to give us great
trouble at the start at least. On the other
hand If we met her with dozen power
full battleships on the Atlantic coast,
with such other resources as we possess,
we would no doubt win the struggle.
Meanwhile we could throw half a million
men into Canada within a few weeks so
that the fight would not BIZ so one-sided
as it might at first glance appear"
But you think at the present time
that England or any of the other great
European powers would have us at dis
advantage?'
Undoubtedly. 1t is useless to talk war

EXTRACTING HONEY.
How This May Re Done In the Late Fall
and Winter.

How This May Re Done In the Late Fall
and Winter.
Many beekeepers experience trouble
in getting thick honey out of the comb
at this time of the year and later on il
the winter, if the honey is left in the
combs until that time G. M. Doolittle,
whose large experience entities his
opinions to consideration, has the fol
lowing, originally written for The
American Bee journal, to say on the
subject.
Were it not that much better arti
Gle can be produced by leaving the hon
ey on the hives until the end of the sea
son, or until all is thoroughly sealed or
ripened, should be greatly in favor of
extracting every third toAsifth day dur
ing the season but if we would have
the best honey which can be produced,
it becomes necessity that we should ex
tract thick honey When I received my
first extractor, it came in midwinter. !
repaired to the shop, took down some
frames of honey had stored away, I'M
capped them and tried the machine. As
might be expected, the thing was q
failure. Upon going to bed that night ]
thought, of course, I could not succeed
in throwing out frozen honey, for the
extractor was made for use in the sum
mer time when the weather is hot.
After some study and planning, the
next morning found me up bright and
early, with several combs hanging up
near the ceiling of a small room, with
a fire built and thermometer hanging
close by the combs of honey. soon had
the temperature of the room at the cell
ing up to 95 degrees, where kept it for
six hours. In the afternoon Iagain tried
the extractor, when I could easily throw
out 95 per cent of the honey the comb
contained. Even what was partially
candied could nearly all be thrown out,
and the combs hung away so clean that
no bees were needed to clean them off
to keep them from draining. By hang
ing the combs near the ceiling of the
room it does not take an extremely hot
fire to keep the temperature at from 80
degrees to 100 degrees, or even higher,
if you have old, tough combs. I keep
the combs in just SO much heat as they
will bear without breaking down, for
six hours, and whers kept in this way
no one need have pound Of honey left
in them, as has been reported by some.
Another thing, the extracting, when
done in this way, comes when there is
little else to do, as fall and early win
ter is comparatively time of leisure
with most beekeepers, and by tiering
up and leaving the honey on the hives
until fall the extracting can be done
when the cares of the busy season have
passed by, and quality of honey OBJ
tanned which shall be of benefit to our
market, instead Of curse, as unripe
honey always is curse to any market
where put on the same.

The Corn Crop.

The corn crop in some Of the western
states is SO large this year that it will
be practically impossible to market all
of it. Farmers will put some into cat
tie and hogs, and market in that way.
The price of corn is now very low, and
it pays better to feed it than to sell. A
good deal will be put in crib and re-
served for the higher price that is sure
to come before the next corn crop can
be harvested. It is a common remark
that an extra large crop of corn is usu-
ally followed by medium crop or one
under size. Should there be partial
corn failure next year one-half of the
corn crop reserved now will be worth
as mach as the whole crop would bring
if rushed on the market at once. Amer

Onions, like other bulbs, can be easily
preserved if kept dry, and although, if
this is observed, they will stand a con-

sirable that they have temperature of
from 30 to 40 degrees When in a damp
room, they start readily, especially if at
high temperature, and as spring ap-
proaches the buds start even if kept COM

not to store onions in too large bulk,

in shallow bins or in crates.

her kindly care and patient persever-
ance has brought them. As the young
lady is an invalid, she manages to get a
great deal of profitable diversion from
her queer pets
Among other things she has taught
them to drink water from a thimble
and to perform the skirt Dance" as
she calls it, by fiuttering their wings as
they rest in the palm of her hand. They
will sing at her bidding, making
faint, almost inaudible cheep, and seem
to be passionately fond of music The
young lady is quite fine musician,
and when she plays on the piano the
wasps take up their position on the
r,usic-rack and never bulge until the
performance is over.
The wasps would seem to have quite
a good deal of vanity, and nothing de-
lights them more than to be allowed to
walk about and inspect themselves on
little hand mirror, which is kept for
their exclusive use. Strange to relate,
the wasps have never been known to
attempt to sting anybody, although
they have free access to all parts of the
house, and are seldom confined, even at
night.

TEMPERATURES OF SEA DEPTHS.
Theory Accouptin. for the Goodness of
the Bottom of oceans.

the Bottom of oceans.
The photographers tell US that the
law which is constant for the landed
portion OF the earth's surface must be
inverted for The oceans. The further
we descend into the earth's surface
crust. says the st. Louis Republic, the
higher is the temperature; on the other
hand, the deeper we descend below the
natural habitat Of the white-cap waves,
the lower becomes the temperature OF
the water. Very recent observation
proves that an almost arctic coldEess
exists over the whole of the deep sea
bed, there being no perceptible differ
ence in the temperature OF the deeper
stratas of the Indian and the Arctic
oceans II is a well-lxnown fact that
sea water does not freeze as readily as
fresh water. and, unlike TIE latter, il
continues TO grow heavier until il
reaches the freezing point. Thus the
effect of the intense cold OF the arctic
regions is to cause a constant sinking
down of the cold surface water, which
causes q current of most intense cold TO
flow toward the equator: while to sup
ply the place of what sinks down, an
indraught or northward flow takes place
on the surface The above is the gen.
orally accepted vertical circulation"
theory, which explains the cause of the
low temperature which prevails at the
bottom of the oceans the world over.

WHEELING, w. Va, May cit is now
believed there will be no need for State

Gardener received word from Deputy
Harmon, who Is On the ground, that ali
is serene and that no outbreak is appre.
hended. Adjutant General Holy is on
the ground. but no word has been re-
ceived from him, which is regarded as a
good omen. Business on the Norfolk
ana Western road Is practically dead, so
far as freight traffic ia concerned. One
local freight passes the mining district
every day and that is usually laden
with provisions for the strikers. Nc
coal Is being shipped from Pocahontas.
