Few people know that all plants con.
tain digestive principles. They cannot alb
sorb their food until it is digested any
more than animals can. The Mount Leb.
anon Shakers have learned the art Of ex-
tracing and utilizing these digestive
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 Dr.
gestive Cordial not only contains food al
ready digested, but it also contains d.
gestive principles which aid the digestion
Of other foods that may be eaten with it.
A single 10-cent sample bottle will be sui :
fcient to demonstrate it's value, and We
suggest that every suffering dyspeptic
make trial Of it. Any druggist can sup
ply it.

CHINESE LANTERN DECORA-
TONS.

Not until one has visited China and
seen the lantern on its native heath, as
1T were, can he have any adequte idea
what beautiful effects may be brought
about by the ingenious and artis ic use
OF few withes of bamboo, some sheets
OF bast paper. box OF colors and a bit
of tallow candle or a few drops of oil
with a wick laid in it. The Chinese,
says writer in the Pail Mall Gazette,
use lanterns not only for the practical
purpose of lighting their dwellings and
streets, but for ornamentation and deco
ration thereof In the manufacture of
lanterns the Chinese are said TO excel
all other people; they use a variety of
material in the construction of these
most fragile articles. such as bamboo in
basketwork. and an infinite variety of
other designs; bast paper, cloth of silk
and gauze. glass, horn, and a substance
that looks like isinglass. BY means of
their artistic carving. elaborate gliding
and coloring, great ingenuity and a
wonderful taste displayed in their man.
ufacture, they differentiate them to al
almost endless degree. Those made Of
silk and gauze are used in the house;
some are side-lights hung against the
wall, with only one side decorated;
others, embellished with colors on all
sides. hang in the center of the room or
from the ceiling in any part of it. Red
lanterns are always used ON any occaei IN
of festivity. as crimson is the symbol of
happiness and pleasure. Many of those
used for interiors only are finished with
colored silk tassels, and suspended by
silken cords. They vary in size from
the tiny FREELY, costing two or three
cents. to very complicated set of LIANT
erns. arranged like the lights of chan
delier, measuring ten to fifteen feet
in diameter, and costing any amount
from one to four hundred dollars, or
EGO to 91OO sterling. An exceedingly
pretty form of lantern is that of five
butterflies so arranged as to form a
square lamp. Red lanterns suspended
from long poles are set up on either
side Of the main entrance to all houses;
these are changed TO white ones when.
ever the family is in mourning. Two
lantern bearers are seen in all wedding
professions; when certain point on the
route is reached. those in the brides
procession exchange places with the two
who have thus far walked 10 the com
pany of the groom.
Women are very little considered in
China; still. when they do do anything
they are surrounded by an endless
