poL1's WONDERLAND rHEArrR.

Again comes a bill absolutely mar vicious for excellence and at the same popular prices. It is headed by Mile. Marguerite, the beautiful young human puzzle from Paris, who has been mak- ing great sensation in New York. Mile. Marguerite is said to have no equal in the world for the extraordin- ary elasticity of her physical constitu- ton, and she has been the wonder of scientists and physicians on both con- tinents. She stands in the same class as Mile. Eugenie Petrescue and Mile. Eva Bertholdi, and by many is consid- cred the greatest of the three. A great company of stars supports her headed by Thorne and Carleton, the star fare CUTS of the American stage. Mr.Thorne is a decidedly original genius who is continually nventiEg new sayings, stor- ies and songs, and Miss Carletom makes an excellent foil for his witticisms.

YOUR PALATE Is YOUR STOM-
 ACH'S ONSClENCE.
Your Stomach knows What is Good
 for You.


 Thin people are thin because the food they eat is not absorbed. Reasons, either wrong food, or right food undl- gested.
 Fats, oils and grease will not make anyone fat, This is because they are indigestble. Thin people find it hard to digest their food, Fatty foods make 1t still harder
 Have you ever noticed that almost without exception thin, pale, dyspep- tie, anaemic people have an aversion to fat This is of itself proof enough that such foods are bad for them.
 Let your palate tell you what to eat. Nature makes very few mistakes and we should listen to what she says.
 Thin people may become fatter, and dyspeptics more comfortable, by talk ing the Shaker Digestive Cordial. It agrees with the weakest stomach. It helps the weak stomach digest other food It is fattening and invigorating in itself, for it contains artificially di- gested food.
 The Mount Lebanon Shakers have made a great many interesting discov- cries within the past hundred years, but none more important than this in- genious cure for all diseases which are traceable to faulty digestion. A single 10 cent bottle will tell whether it is adapted to your case, and can be had through any druggist

The Use of Weeds.

Ut Is a very common thing" said an old farmer, "for people to grumble about weeds md wonder of what : they aro in the economy of nature. I Soed a great many persons appear to think that they are of no value whatever except as a means of discipline to tillers of the soil. I admit that they have their incopvenienoes, but so have most of the things we have to en- counter during our lifetime If farmers and gardeners only realized 1t. weeds arc among their best friends. There is noth- ing more valuable as fertilizer than big pile of weeds and sod and the roots that are dug up out of the garden. Properly cared for and allowed to decay, then mixed with some good land dressing and put back into the earth, they furnish precisely tho nutriment that the growing plants re- Quire.
 "For sorne reason weeds do not seem to rob the soil as most ordinary garden and feld products do, and 1t is not anything uncommon for farmers to allow some wornout held to lie fallow for a few sea- sons and recuperate. An enormous quan- tity of weeds will spring up, which will, after scattering seeds galore, wither down and die and return to tho soil whence they sprang. A few seasons of this kind of . treatment furnishes the earth with suffi- cient supply of nutriment to mako 1t again valuable for crops. "--Nsw York Ledosr.

Ing tnerr way to the rigging. Though everything was against them, they cut the sail ropes, let the sails down, and breeze soon caught the vessel. which drifted out toward the mouth of the bay. All the anchor cables had been cut outside by sailors specially detail led for that duty. and. moreover, the wheel was in the hands of the enemy. The steersman selected to take charge of that had to fight his way to the helm Al though severely wounded in the strug gle, he stuck to his post until he carried the captive vessel beyond the French shore batteries. Then for the first time the sailors of the Chevrette lost heart. With their ship moving from under its guardian batteries and guided by foe men, its anchor gone and boarders lodg- ed on deck, all. too. in spite of elaborate preparation for defense, the situation seemed changed in twinkhng.. Un- bounded confidence gave way to sullen despair.
 At this juncture another hero sprang to the fore and decided the contest by a masterly stroke of strategy and daring. This was Boatswain' Brown of Lieutenant Maxwell's own vessel He had followed Maxwell into the quarter gallery at the first boarding. Finding all the doors barricaded and armed men firing through the crevices and openings in every direction, he wandered from

 place to place, mark for the French men, who, however, failed to bring him down. Along the sides of the vessel the boarders had not yet reached the deck, and Brown stood alone. From momen- tary fear possibly, or drawn by Q natural attraction, he rushed to the forecastle There he found a handful of his men who had chased the Frenchmen over the decks into hiding. The main part of the open deck was at the time packed with Frenchmen who had not given up the fight. Brown looked over the mas, in front of him and swinging his cutlass above his head called out to his men as be pointed forward, "Make a lane therep Marvellous as it may seem, the gallant fellow lived through the com- bat, and with his handfu carved a road from one end of the. Chevrette to the other, then turned and charged back to the forecastle, which he stormed and captured. Though several times attack ed, he held the citadel until the battle was over, then resumed his duties around ths sails and rigging as coolly as though nothing unusual had hap pened.
 Paralyzed by the sudden turn of af- fairs and the fearful energy of the as sailants many Frenchmen jumped over board. Others took refuge below and kept up fire through the hatchways. Finally all hands were overpow cred. and compelled to yield. The six boats left behind to take care of the guardboat failed to get up until the deed was done, and the captured vessel, under new owners, proceeding out of the bay. On board the Chevrette the slaughter had been awful Her captain, two lieu tenants and three midshipmen, also a lieutenant of land troops, had been kill ed, together with 85 seamen and sol diers. Among the boarders only II were killed. A French lieutenant, 4 midship- men and 57 sailors and soldiers were among the wounded, while the English the extreme must have been the defense, when the killed numbered 92, as against 62 wounded.
 But the prize was not. borne away without further demonstration on the part of the French. A calm struck her on the way down the bay and that for 8 wonder just as she got within range o1 the French shore batteries, which were not slow to open fire. Fortunately g breeze soon cleared her. Farther on three warships sailed out of the harboi of Brest bent upon recapture- What sort of a fight the brave band would have made in the ship never came to test. fol the British vessels lying nearest the mouth of the bay maneuvered for hel protection, and the French backed off leaving the Chevrette to her fate.
