Shakers and Doctors Talk
Together.

In his able work entitled Longevity"
published a few years ago, DR.. John Gard
ner, of England predicts that a vegetable
agent viii yet be found that 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 pro-
duced by this thought, many eminent ply
sicians have called from time to time upon
the Shakers of Mt. Lebanon to inquire of
them concerning the secrets of medicinal
plants, in which these sincere, simple
minded and God-fearing 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
visitors much valuable information about
disease: which they at once made practical
use of. The most important point was that
if a genuine and certain remedy could be
found for indigestion and dyspepsia, and
Treatments growing out of them, q long step
would be taken in the right direction. Old
age, said these physicians begins in a fail
ure of the digestion, and so do most dis
eases at any and all periods of life. The
result of these consultations was the dis
covery by the Shakers of the desired spe-
ciffc, 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,
biliousness, weakness and WEAKNESS, cold
hands and feet, aversion to food, nervous
ness. or any other symptom of dyspepsia,
the Cordial will prove it's curative virtues
Behind it is the reputation of a people who
have never defrauded or deceived their
fellow men.
In order to test whether this remedy is
adapted to your case, at practically no cost,
you may procure trial bottle for ten cents
of almost any druggist.

THE FOREMOST SOUTHERN COM
- POSER.

til all of Americas boosted intel
lect and progress, the musical art on
this side Of the Atlantic has not rivaled
the musical art of the old world This
country has produced great poets and
a few painters and sculptors, but cre-
atiye work in music has been slow;
and only two or three Americans have
come to the front as composers. Soura
is recognized as the March King.
His two steps" are original and popu-
lar, and will compare well with the
work of the same class in Europe
Buck has composed some solid church
music and Neyin has won fame as a
versatile composer. But with all our
talent here in the Z. S. it is somewhat
surprising that more original work in
the art which ranks next to poetry
and which is so nearly related 10 it has
not been done.
Mr.. Jacob Reinhardt of Richmond
is making a reputation as song writ
Vi anu h1 tdIi easily DC tIdSSt0 as the
foremost composer of the south. If
he We're living in New York he would be
honized. His latest song, Content
ment' is rare gem. 1t is understood
that he has composed several large am
bilious works-both ecclesiastical and
secular-but as they have not yet been
published, the music public has not
been aye 20 pass judgment on them.
Reinhardt has done his creative
work in the midst of busy life as or
ganist, teacher and director, and he de
serves all the more credit for the ar
.-stic productions which have come
from his soul and brain. He is still a
young man and we will be very much
disappointed If he does not command
the high admiration of the art world
before he is many years older. We ex-
tend our hearty congratulations to
the southern composer and TO Rich
mond as the home Of this gifted man.

This is, of course, the truth, but the
leaders among the corporationIsts

they are bossed by corporation men)

the Populists had been induced to vote
the ticket which is to be sugar-coated

blunt way of speaking out in meeting.
He has told the simple truth Contin-

What are the Populists going to do

Care OF the Ear in Childhood.

Defective hearing is trouble that
many children labor under, caused
occasionally by disease, but often
times by lack of proper care OF the
ear passages. 1t is sometimes the case
that the dulness and inattention of Il
scholar is due to impaired hearing
and the inability to hear distinctly all
that is said by teachers and pupils
gives the poor child the appearance OF
being needless and inattentive.
The waxy secretion found in tho
ears is natures own method of keep
ing the ear passages in healthy condi-
ton. There is frequently, however,
an excess of this wax, and occasionally
it happens that in cleaning the child's
ears the excess wax is pushed further
into the ear passages. Repetitions of
this process cause the wax to become
packed, causing gradual loss of the
hearing power. Too much stress can
not be laid upontne fact that pins and
such articles should not be used in
the care of tho ears, as serious injury
is liable from the article entering too
far.
Glycerine and warm water in equal
parts is n mixture land tho best one)
that will dissolve and remove the wax.
Apply gently with a small syringe.
Should there be, at auy time, any
thing in the nature of discharges from
either ear, physcian's advice should
be sought without delay. In such
cases there is almost certain to be
some disease of the inner ear passage
requiring medical attention.
Prompt attention will probably save
the child serious impairment of hear.

The apron maker buys her material
in New York by the web. She makes
her own selections dimitv and lawn
for the fine aprons, muslin for the
maids and nurses and heavy linens
and ginghams for the kitchens.
No fancy aprons are manufactured,
none with bibs and for children. The
largest business is done in the nurse
maid apron, these of double breadths,
full almost to dress skirt pattern and
with great snshlike ties. The lawn
aprons are handsome, with their deep
hens and pretty ties.
Variety is assured by an occasional
deep ruffie or one or two pockets. The
sewing aprons have deep pockets, and
in few of the dainty lawn aprons for
the mistress iaunty pocket has place.
The young seamstress is still able to
control the manufacture of her aprons
herself. To accomplish the amount of
work last year, however, the greatest
system and application was necessary.
Days were spent in running up moth
ing but the ties or strings. Yard after
yard of this ribbon like work was
neatly fashioned, hemmed on both
sides, then divided off in proper
lengths. Other days would be devoted
to nothing but the hemming OF the
bottoms of the aprons, and on other
days the gathering would claim atten-
ton. All work is done on the ma
chine.
The young apron maker has an eye
to color also, and in the selection of
her ginghams and muslins makes
choice OF the sweetest designs in checks
OF stripes, pink, blue, brown, or what
ever tint may be the choice at the
time.
The aprons for the nurses, for the
serving maids, or for the mistress,
however, IRE always of the regulation
white, the material only varied with
the style. The little apron vender con-
fesses to the fact that in an apron
which sells for fifty cents, owing TO
the reduced rate in her purchase of
material by wholesale, the actual out
lay is but triae over sixteen cents. -
