ALoSS OF s8O, oOO,OOOI !!

Labor saving inventions or discover
les have often been violently opposed
on the ground that they take working
mems bread out OF their mouths, Al
though experience has shown the fall
lacy OF that theory the feeling. or fear,
was natural.
But It is not so much the lack OF
wn''. as the inability to work that
yauses poverty and suffering. In Eng
land and Wales every wOrkingman
averages ten days OF sickness every
yea~ with total loss Of wages for all
OF about SS0.0OOO00 per year In this
country the loss is much greater. In
all countries the prevailing disease Is
indigestion and dyspepsia, and Its con-
sequence such as rheumatism ana
other ailments resulting from impure
blood, I result OF dyspepsia.
No thorough. rapid and trustworthy
cure FOR this universal and obstinate
malady existed until the Mt. Lebanon
IN " Community OF Shakers placed
upon the market their now famous
remedy called the Shaker Digestive
Cordial. IT Is prepared from roots and

ties from the body by means Of the
bowels. kidneys and skin, and imparts
Nigor and tone to the siomach-upon
whose proper action all our strength,
activity and endurance depends. For
many years the Shakers have given
earnest attention to this subject. and
their final success is thankfully ad-
mitted by the multitudes who have
been cured by the cordial after all
other means have failed. Their high
reputation for skin as herbolists, for
honesty and religious sincerity guaran-

AN ATTRACTIVE HAT.
A Forgetful Preacher Did Not Remove
the Wrapping Paper.

viz "AopPhS
A distinguished preacher of some
what arbitrary manners was engaged
to preach in Belgravia, and purchased
a new hat for the occasion, says Pear
sons Weekly. He was met outside his
residence by young man who was to
guide him to the church. His guide,
after what the parson thought rude
stare and smile. said: II beg your par
don, sir, but your hat"
''Oh, yes! never mind the hat, but
mind your own business" the parson
interrupted curtly; and the young man
was silenced. The people they met
stared and smiled too.
Strange how many people notice
when one has got a new hat, )" thought
the parson. The church was reached
and the worshipers approaching natu-
rally turned to observe the noted
preacher.
The vicar met him at the vestry door
to welcome him, but, hesitating, said
Pardon me, canon, but pray, why dc
you wear your hat so?"
The tile was doffed and the outside
found to be still covered with white
paper which the absent-minded divine
had not removed.

The crater of Popocatcpetl contains

Then they slide down the snow on the

CAN THE HEART BREAk9
Many Instances of nssth Being Due to
Grief, Fear, Etc.

Many Instances of usSth Being Due to
Grief, Fear, Etc.
Grief does not kill, and it is, indeed,
very seldom that heavy sorrow causes
death to anyone when in a healthy con
dition, says a writer in the Buffalo
Times. 1t is, however, very often the
indirect cause of death, either by
bringing disease to climax or by rem
dering the sufferer more liable to its at
tack If man is convinced that his
grief is more than he can bear those
who have studied the matter agree
that through the force of his own
imagination the man will actually die
of broken heart"
The great Napoleon was killed by an
internal disease, but it is supposed
that it would not have been fatal had
not his spirits been so depressed through
exile and defeat. William Platt, the
orator, is said to have died of a broken
heart" caused by his great grief at the
failure of his cherished hopes and
plans. And there have been many
other such instances in the history OF
this country. When plaques are raging
in town statistics show that as
many die from fright and imaginary
causes as from the real epidemic, SO
great hold has the fear of death on
some people.
If man is condemned to be shot it
has often occurred that on the word
fire" he has dropped lifeless, although,
through accident or design, no bullet
has in reality left the gun.
There is a queer case on record con-
cerning the daughter of celebrated
French novelist, who was deeply inter
ested in one of her fathers stories. 1t
appeared in installments, and the hero
inc was suffering from consumption,
As the girl brooded over the sad fate OF
the heroine she, too, suddenly mani
tested the same symptoms. A physician
recommended the father to restore the
heroine to health, which he did few
chapters on, and at the same time as
the girl in the novel recovered, so also
did his too sentimental daughter.
