A PEOPLE or FEW WORDS.

LET your speech be yea, yea and nay,
nay, says the Good Book, "for whatsoever
is more than these cometh of evil." The
shakers abide by the spirit of this rule.
Their words arc few, simple, sincere and
direct. They waste no energy in idle talk!
they use IL in thinking and doing. And
whatever they do they do with their might.
They are content with nothing short of the
essence and principles of the things they
investigate They take pains and are pa
tient. And thus the doors of many strange
truths open to them. In this way they dis
covered what may almost be called the
unity of disease. A venerable Shaker says
of it: at is said that one mans meat is
another mans poison. That is but half the
truth. Any MANS meat Is any mans poison,
under certain conditions. If the grain
never got furthert than the hopper we should
never have bread; and if bread never got
further than the stomach we should never
have strength. When the stomach Is torpid,
helpless and infamed the food lies in 1t and
rots. This fermentation produces poisons
which may, and often do, disorder every
other organ and function of the body. This
is indigestion or dyspepsia, with many
symptoms and DISCUSSES. Cure it and you
cure hlAiC-ISigIAS VI our CON- pibAbJS' HS9S
words were uttered many years ago. Since
then they have found a remedy, now known
as the Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t is made
from medicinal plants cultivated by them.
1t is a food and digests other foods. Taken
while eating it rests the stomach and nOur-
ishes the system. The pains and distresses
of dyspepsia disappear before it, 1t pre-
vents fermentation and coon restores fun
power to the digestion. 1t succeeds in the
worst cases. 1t is worthy the name Of the
people whose name it bears. ANY druggist
will sell you trial bottle for ten cents

North Carolina that where an expert
enced and reliable chemist IL wanted by
by other States, that they offer such In

almost invariably get them. For years
this has been going on, and the reputa-

second to none in this country. A dozen

tive State.

Illuminating animals gather their
food rapidly, give it few cuts with the
teeth and swallow it. It goes to an
interior receptacle, where it is moist
ened; this is very essential if it be
dry hay. When the animal has filled
himself, he masticates the food thus
slowed away in his stomach, raising it
cud by cud. When a portion is COM
pletely masticated it passes to another
receptacle, and the progress of diges-
ton goes on. Thus an OK if left to him
self will raise and masticate all his
food thus slowed away IN his stomach.
If he be pushed and worked hard, and
does not have time to masticate it, he
falls off in flesh, his health is poor. his
digestion incomplete.
The horse, on the contrary, however
much in hurry he may be, must mas
ticate each mouthful before he swal-
lows it. A hungry OK, let into a mead
ow, will fill himself in Gwenty minutes,
while horse would want at least an
hour and twenty minutes to take the
same amount of grass. The OK, deer,
sheep, goat, channels and rabbit, being
the natural prey of ferocious beasts,
are endowed with the extra stomach
in which hastily to stow away the food
without mastication. This may, per-
haps, be regarded as a wise provision
of nature, enabling them to sally forth
where the food is plenty, and in short
time fill themselves and retire to a
place of safety to rum1nate their food
at their leisure.

A Remarkable Proiectile.

In the latest test of projectiles made
by the ordnance bureau in Washington.
a 12-inch solid shell of cast steel was
driven entirely through an 1S-inch Har-
veyized plate and through two feet OF
oak backing. 1t was the first time in
the history of the bureau that such
plate has been pierced by such pro-
jectile. and the astonishing perform
ance, as Lieut. Mason said, revolution
lied all previous theories in shell con-
struction. The shells in question,
made by firm in Spuyten Duyvil, N.
Y, had various novel features, but
doubtless it was the bolt of solid steel
which did the business, and in penetrat-
ing the plate it not only punctured a
number of highly respected theories,
but gave the whole system OF naval ar
mament a shock premonitory of an
other and costly revolution.

On hungry march orders against
foraging are apt to be literally inter
l,reted by both officers and men. An
exchange recalls an instance not unlike
some that all veterans are fond of tell
ing.
While the 48th Georgia regiment was
on the march to Gettysburg, some of
the soldiers stepped out of the ranks
and confscated a couple of geese, and
one of the drummers unheaded his
drum and put the captured birds inside.
Shortly afterward the colonel came
along, and noticing the silence of the
drum, rode up to the drummer and said:
why don't you beat that drum?"
Colonel" said the startled man, Il
want to speak to you
The colonel drew close to him and
said:
well, what have you to say?"
The drummer whispered:
Colonel, I've got couple of geese in
here"
The colonel Strengthened up and said:
We'll, if you are sick, you needn't
play" and rode on.
That night the colonel had roast
goose for supper.

Kinr Humbert,s Little Joke.

An amusing story comes from the
court of Italy. For some time past
Queen Marguerite has been very much
concerned at the extraordinary rapidity
with which the hair of King Humbert
has been whitening. What could she
do? Womanlike, she saw only one
remedy-hair dye-and she suggested
the idea to the king. But his majesty
objected to being rejuvenated by any
such process. One of her relatives, a
young prince, suggested strategy. He
knew, he said, of a splendid colorless
dye which she could place on the dres-
sing table of the king, and he would use
it without thinking as an ordinary hair
wash. But his majesty got wind of the
affair and laid a counterpart. The
queen had a little white dog with long
hair. He inveigled it into his dressing
room, applied the famous hair dye, and
turned the dog into her majesty's apart
ments in a coat of splendid jet black

THEY BOUGHT OUT SALOON.

The Methodist of Union Course Are to
Have New Church.
New York Times: After many years
of effort the Methodists of Union
Course, L. l., have succeeded in rails
ing funds sufficient to build a suitable
house of worship and cozy little struc-
ture is now nearly completed.
Perhaps there is no place An this
neighborhood where theFe has been
more wickedness, at least from the
Methodist point of view, than in this
village. The famous Unoin race course,
from which the village derives it's
name, was in it's day the greatest gam
bling center in the neighborhood of
New York city. 1t was there that many
OF the present day kings of the turf
made their first successful bets, and
where many old time famous horses
won their first races. OF course, that
was all long ago. The race track has
disappeared under pretty villas and
busy stores, but this change took time
and it was years before there were
enough Methodists to organize church
society. When such an organization
finally did get into existence it started
in to fight wickedness in a decidedly
novel manner. There was in the village
a particularly Objectionable liquor sa-
loon, which had survived from the old
race track days and which was the re-
sort of bad characters. One enthusiastic
member of the new church society sug-
gested that it's first work should be to
get rid of the Objectionable saloon
keeper.
How can we do it?'' he was asked
Buy him out" was the answer. I'VE
need building and will give $500 to-
ward securing the saloon"
This struck erybody as a good plan
and so the saloon keeper was bought
out and his den of iniquity converted
into house of worship. In that build
ing the church society grew stronger
and stronger and recently the plan for
the new building was perfected and the
money raised.
The society still worships in the old
saloon. By what seemed an intervention
of Providence, the building recently
narrowly escaped destruction. It was
right in the path of the terrible cyclone
which swept through the village on the
afternoon of Saturday, July IS. All the
buildings in the immediate vicinity
were wrecked or injured. A Sneu at Ouo
end of the church was carried a quar-
ter of mile, and a tree at the other
end was pulled out by the roots. The
church building itself was uninjured,
but next morning, when the members
Of the congregation gathered at the
-hurch, they found that the wind,
sweeping under the doors, had torn up
the carpet and some of the pews and
piled them in a promiscuous heap in
the center of the room. This seemed
like a Providential hint that it was
time for the congregation to move
They held service, but on Sunday, July
Is, they laid the corner stone of the
new church building.
The new structure will seat, when
finished. about 400 persons. 1t is an
pretentious, being built in the Queen
Anne style of architecture. The interior
will be finished in natural wood. The
windows are to be of cathedral glass.
The church will be dedicated next
month.

USED LADDER TO GET IN BED.
Remarkable Experience of an American
Tourist in Ireland.


Tourist in Ireland.
An American who lately visited Ire
land writes: In the hotel at Dublin was
a bed so large and so high that it
seemed a tableland of mattress over
Swallowed by a cliff of headboards. It
seemed preposterous that any one
should monopolize bed of such size
and attempt to warm it. By proper di-
vision it would have supplied a family.
When it came time to retire the ques-
ton was not how to get into" bed, but
how to get "on' the bed. The top mat
tress was almost chin nigh, and it
seemed that to reach it there would
have to be a hard climb or a desperate
leap. While the problem of retiring
was under consideration a dark object
was seen in one dim corner of the vastly
bedroom, which was imperfectly light
ed by a solitary candle. This object
proved to be a movable stairway,
mounted on rollers. When it was
pushed against the behemoth bed the
problem of how to retire was immedi-
arely solved. One had only to ascend
the stairs and then fall off into the en-
bracing depth of this most remarkable
bed.
