We know of but one community in
the world where dyspepsia is practi-
cally unknown, and that is the Shakers
of Mount Lebanon, N. Y. These good
people have been studying the subject
of digestion for more than hundred
years, and that they understand it
pretty thoroughly, is evidenced in the
foregoing fact. Their Digestive Cordial
is the safest and best remedy in cases
of Indigestion that we know of. A
trial bottle can be had through your
druggists for the trifling sum of 10
cents.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies
the system with food already digested,
and at the SAME time aids the digestion
of other food. 1t will almost instantly
relieve the ordinary symptoms of indi-
gestion, and no sufferer need to be told
what these are.
LaXol is the best medicine for chill
dren. Doctors recommend it in place
of castor oil.

 The bow bonnet is scarcely more than parody of bonnet Last night sat behind girl at the theater whose coiffure was more interesting from an artistic point of view than what was going on beyond the footlights. It was the texture of cobwebs, the dense color of lusterless ebony, and it was coiled in a heavy mass above a very white neck. The eyes were blue and the straight, delicate brows as dark as the hair. The intense black and white paled the Titan red locks of fair lady in the same row, and from it's rarity rendered the possessor an object of much speculation. Above this coil of black locks the girl wore simple black bow bonnet. She did not wish to attract to her headgear attention that must be withdrawn from her coif- furc.

fairs of state, the administration of which he abandoned to subordinates, who were naturally afraid to assume any responsibility. Prince Alexander Lobanoff Rostovski, however, is a man of very different stamp. Masterful in character, cool-headed and clear-sighted, he is rot likely to permit himself to be swayed by anyone, not even by the czar him. self - from the course which, upon mature reflection, he has decided to be the right one to adopt. Unlike the majority of his countrymen, he never gives way to impulse, never loses his temper, and never inanifests any of that passionate enthusiasm to which the Slavs are so prone Nothing ever seems to disturb his equanimity, while his independence of character is some thing absolutely unique in Rus sian. Possessed of vast foetune, as well as of a lineage which, extending back to Rurik, is, from u Russian point of view, superior even to that of the emperor, he regards himself as fully the latter's equal as far as blood and ancestry are concerned. 1 have known Prince Lobanoff, when ambassador at Vienna, to receive tel cgram from Grand Duke Nicolas Nicolaievitch, in which that brother of Alexander II. announced the hour of his arrival, and demanded that Prince Lobanoff should meet him at the sta tion. Without betraying any sign of irritation at the arrogant tone of the dispatch he contented himself with sending an attache to the terminus to meet the grand duke and to inform him that he would be pleased to see him at the embassy. He would not even call upon Nicolas at his hotel, but waited at home to receive the visit of his impe- rial highness, whom he greeted on the threshold of his library with that ur- banity which characterizes his manner to high and low alike. Not word of apology did he offer forhaving neglect cd to obey the behests of the grand duke, and, that the latter might be un- der no misapprehension as to the re- ceipt of his message, he had taken care to lay the telegraphic dispatch on the desk in such manner that it's contents could not fail to catch the eye of any one entering the room.

 Once having secured the seasons pro- duction, the cold-brained speculator turns to the world of consumption. the masses of the people, and offers for sale the staple necessities of life at such prices as he has fixed.

 1t is beyond human calculation to give any approximate estimate of the volume of wealth which annually passes from the possession of the people in the, middle and lower walks of life into the pockets of stock speculators; and these same stock exchange gamblers are do- ing for the railroads, street car com panics and other great corporations the very same trick they are doing for the producers in the agricultural and manufacturing world.

 The letter following this will allude, briefly, to other things that ought to be removed in order that the ball of in- dustrial prosperity be set rolling mer- rily along, mills and factories in full blast, mercantile marts alive and full of hustle, and the poor farmer elevated to a profita ble and enviable calling.
 The wealth producing power thus constantly increasing, because receiv- ing the support of its own created strength, will not cease to grow and expand until the gaunt specter of want and privation is driven away, and the good angel of plethora and abundance is enthroned, melting hard hearts and filling with gladness the disconsolate and discouraged. .

Louis Philippe, Due d'Orleans, and His
 Claim to the Throne.

Louis Philippe, Due d'Orleans, and His
 Claim to the Throne.
 Louis Philippe, Due d'Orleans, is the son of Louis Philippe Albert, Comte de Paris, who recently died, and is the grandson of Ferdinand Philippe Louis, Due d'Orleans, and the grcat-grandson of King Louis Philippe, by the virtue of descent, from whom he bases his, claim to the throne of France. The duke was born at York house, Twicken- ham, England, in 1869. Comte de Parisin August, 1873, had an interview at Frohsdorf with other royal claim ants and there waived his claim to the throne in favor of Comte de Chambord. By the death of the latter, however, in August, 1883, Comte de Paris be- came the undisputed head of the house of Bourbon and the claim of his son, the present Due d'Orleans, is as fully recognized as rightful by the royalist

Gentlemanly young ladies who affect fcutaway coats, de Joinville ties, etc., will rejoice this spring in tailor-made waists of cream, blue or pink cham bray, with fine embroidered shield fronts starched to the last degree of stiffness; while for the opposite type, morning wear, batistes and dainty French ghghams in silk patterns and trimmed with lace embroideries and in sertions.
 A blouse for spring evening wear has a yoke of cream-colored silk faintly striped with blue and overlaid with jet embroidery. From this yoke falls a rain of jet fringe that is caught into 8 jet girdle but droops over it loosely.
 Another evening blouse is of rose pink satin yelled with black net span gled with rubies.
 A few novel Easter dresses are worthy of description. For tall blonde of purest Saxon type with rose tinted checks and velvety blue eyes, is gown of ecru-corded silk with fitted blouse of blue velvet and large puffed sleeves. A wide cape collar and deep cuffs are of ecru guipure lace of exquisite pat tern.
 A dress of apple green faille is striped with black and figured between with tiny apple blossoms. The blouse has front and girdle of cream lace and the skirt is caught with black velvet bows.

Natural Defense. of Animals.

In his lecture at St. Georges hall, Langham place, w., Dr. Andrew Will son, in the course of his remarks on some animal defenses, said that the porcupine type of animal affords an in- stance of hair and skin specially de- veloped as means of defense. The spines are merely exaggerated hairs, and the skin motion is found in rudi- mentary state in the unpleasant class of humans who take a pride in wagging the hair on their scalp. The most in teresting topic in animal defenses is ''mimicry." To a butterfly or moth nothing can be more valuable than form which may be mistaken for dead leaf or dried twig. But kind of de- fense against annihilation not to be de- spised is the power of reproducing lost parts which have been chopped off in the battlefield of nature. Man has clearly grounds for envying that re- spectable animal, the crocodile, which has no need to repair to the dentist, since his decayed teeth are promptly replaced by new ones without stint

party of France. This was made ap- parent by the message sent to the duke at the time of his fathers death. Comte de Paris never showed any par ticular disposition to bring his cause be- fore the French people. Nevertheless, the popularity of the Orleanist family as shown on the occasion of the marriage of the oldest daughter of the comte with the son of the king of Portugal, in 1SS6, so alarmed the French govern ment that it was the cause of law of expulsion, by which the direct claim ants to the French throne and their heirs were banished from France. Due d'Orleans visited America in 1890, with his father and Prince de Join- vile. Comte de Paris served for 8 year on the staff of Gen. Mcclellan dur ing the civil war, and his visit to this country with his son was largely to see once more his old comradc in arms.
