FEW KNOW ABOUT THE SHAKERS OF
 MOUNT LEBANON,

We may not accept their peculiar re- ligious views. We cannot enter into the spirit of their sacrifices, and there fore we do not study their habits of life,
 It is not necessary to believe as they do, but We can and do respect their sincerity of purpose and the honor and uprightness which mark all their busi- ness dealings.
 In one particular the Shakers excel all other men or classes of men, This is in the cultivation of medicinal herbs and plants. They have made 1t study for more than one hundred years. They are also expert in extracting from them their characteristic essences and medi- cinal virtues. This is their peculiar in- dustry. Their lives have been devoted to 1t. By 1t they are supported. They excel in this branch as do the monks of the order of St. Benedict with their famous liquer called "Benedictine."
 Now, this lifelong study on the part of the Shakers has not been in vain. They have accomplished much good. Their medicinal extracts and cordials are known throughout the world.
 The Shaker Digestive Cordial is p.ob- ably the most useful medicine ever given to the public. It is not d cure for all diseases it doesn't pretend to be; but one disease it will cure, and that Is indigestion. It is not pretended that 1t will cure anything else, and 8 sufferer has not long to wait to see the result The effect Is immediate. Almost the first dose will give relief, and, if continued, a permanent cure will follow. Every druggist has been sent a SUD- ply of our handsome Donkey Puzzle Books, and a copy may be had for the asking It tells all about the Cordial as well as Laxol the new castor oil Try 25 cent bottle of Digestive Cor dial and see what it will do for you.

 Dressed in his holiday suit, and be- decked with all the jewels and per eonal ornaments which his parents pos- sess, or are able to borrow for the oo- casion, on his head velvet fez, al- most covered with strongs of sequins, gold pendants, and pearl tassels, he IS mounted on a superbly caparisoned horse, and led in pompous procession through the streets in the neighborhood of the school

Behind him, on cushion is carried the Ko- ran,-to know which holy book by heart entities youth or maiden to the honorable title of Haliz-the little folding bookstand, incrusted with moth- er-of-pearl, for holding the sacred vol ume, and his chanta, or writing case, embroidered with stars and crescents in gold thread.
 All his future schoolfellows follow, two by two, chanting verses attributed to the prophet, melting to the| love of learning, to brotherly kindness, indus try and tolerance, and concluding with good wishes for their new companion, praises of his parents and teachers, and finally glorification to the sultan.

Arctic sunburn.

To hear of suffering from heat in the Arctic regions sounds incredible to those who have never been there Lieu tenant Glider relates the experience of his party from this cause while one summer in King Williams land and de- clares that probably nowhere on earth is the traveller more annoyed by actual sunburn than In the frigid zone. The heat of ordinary exercise compels him to throw back the hood of his fur coat and by thus exposing the head not only his entire face becomes blistered but es- pecially-if he is fashionable enough to wear his hair thin on the top of his head-his entire scalp is affected about as severely as if bucket of scalding water had been poured upon him.
 At a later period Lieutenant Sch watka's entire party while upon a 'sledge journey from Marble island to Camp Daly were so severely burned that not only their faces but their en- tire heads were swollen to nearly twice their size. And a fine looking party they were. Some had faces so swollen that their eyes were completely closed on awakening from sleep, When one was fortunate enough to be able to see

WALLINGFORD.

An alarm of fire was sounded by
 the gongs about 9:30 yesterday morn
 ing. There was the usual excitement
 but the fire proved to be trifling one
 on the roof of A. 1. Martins building
 south of H. l.. Judd & Co.'S factory,
 caused, it is supposed, by a spark from
 a passing locomotive. The fire was put
 out without trouble. The services of
 the fire department were not needed,
 although it was ready for duty.
 George Bellows discovered a fire Mon-
 day evening in house owned by Miss
 Ellen Owens on North Colony street.
 The house was unoccupied and Bellows
 and John Hayden broke in the door
 and found an old pair of trousers and some rags on fire in the pantry, and soon put out the flames with couple of pails of water. How the fire orig mated is not known, but it is supposed to have been of incendiary origin.

 Mrs. Lyman Abbott Writes on the Sub
 ject of Nagging.
 A well-known physician, student of health as well as disease, has called out indignant denials by printing his opin- ion that they do. He has done 1t in the most considerate way, reminding one of the person who, in calling another a liar, said he did not mean 1t opprobri- ously but merely stated It as fact. And the denials are made in fashion quite too feminine. Tt isn't so and be- sides there Is good excuse for 1t, our defenders say. Nervous irritability, a narrowing and belittling sphere, the constant presence of obnoxious and VeX- atious persons--what wonder that hu- man nature exhibits unlovely traits un- der these provocations? It will do us no harm to look this accusation fairly in the face and see whether It be Ia miliar of ours, with a new and ugly name. There is no dictionary at hand, and I cannot verify my definition, but l suppose that what is meant by the word 'nagging'' is a constant repetition or petty reproof or command. It is hab- it which every conscientious housekeep- CT and every thoughtful mother is very much in danger of weaving for herself, and for fear of which many woman "lets things go," to the injury or her home and her children How often the tired mother has picked up after nus band and children, or done the forgot ten errand, rather than seem to be ''nagging."
 It does fall to the lot of women to do most of the so-called training of chil- dren In many eases it is truly the blind leading the blind, and the un- trained training.-August Ladies Home Journal.

the others he could not refrain, from laughing, All dignity was lost, Even the august commander of the party was a laughing stock and though he knew why they laughed at each other he could not understand why he should ex- cite such mirth, Pretty soon he saw his facein mirror and found that when he tried to smile his lips were so thor oughly swollen that the effect was any thing but happy, The contortion ex- pressed sentiment but hardly that of pleasure. He could readily have been taken for grimacing idiot or g ma licious lunatic, according to the prefer enee of the eholder,-Cassells Maga- zine.

The Children Have Rather Gay Time of It
 It is remarkable that the more se- cluded the domestic life of a people is, the greater is the publicity given to all ceremonies connected with family events. This is particularly noticeable in Turkey, where all the neighborhood is called upon to witness the observ- ances, both religious and secular, with which such incidents of family life as birth, marriage and death are attend ed.
 At some of the mosque schools each child receives two full suits of clothes every year, one for summer and one for winter. In the secondary schools, which are under the government. the pupils are not only lodged, fed and taught, but receive also a pension in money.

4 BOTTOMLESS PIT.
The New England Road Having Great
 Trouble in Filling at Towantic.

Waterbury, Aug. 6.-The New Eng land railroad is experiencing great deal of difficulty in filling up an ap- parently bottomless pit at Towantic, ten miles west of Waterbury, on the top of hill with an elevation of 1000 feet. There is a swamp at that point which was bridged when the road was built. Recently the road built a tenn porary track around the place and be- gan to fill in the trestle work, as it had given evidence of weakness. Over 2,000 loads of gravel have been dumped off the trestle, but no perceptible effect has been made. The gravel dumped at night is swallowed up and disappears from view before morning. The off, cials of the road have nearly tired of trying to fill the trestle work, but have orders to continue until the new man agement takes control of the road.
