A DIME FOR DIGESTION.
THE WAY TO HELP YOUR STOMACH
OUT OF DIFFICULTY.

When you are taken sick with pain in your
stomach or chest, nausea, vomiting headache
dizziness, nervousness, neuralgia flatu1euce
constipation mental depression, weakness. lam
guor, loss Of appetite and other similar symp-
toms, you are infected with the poisons of ur-
digested food.
Your stomach needs help.
A dime spent for a sample bottle of the Sha-
ker Digestive Cordial will show you whether
or not to expect help from that source.
If you really are dyspeptic, it will relieve
YOU after few doses. II it does, keep on till
you're cured. If not, don't take any more
you're no ayspeptic.
Indigestion or dyspepsia is a dreadful dis
order, all the more that so few people believe
in its dangerousness.
That is because they don't die OF Indigestion,
but of rheumatism, consumption, pneumonia,
and other diseases which they would never
have ''caught' If their bodies hadn't been
starred and aced7ce,ae with indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial acts on the food in
your stomach and helps the digestive juices to
dissolve it, In this way it aids your stomach
to do its work without effort and creates new
strength and life for yeur whole body
At druggists. Ten cents for trial bottle.
Write to the Shakers, 80 Reade Street, New
York, for an interesting book.

AN OLD MAP.


When Mayor Baxter was in Rome he
saw hanging in the Vatican map of the
world made in 1899 and drawn in colors
on huge bulls hide. 1t is known as the
second Borgian map by Diego Ribero.
1t was the first map of the world
which included America and is drawn
with considerable accuracy considering
the rude state OF map making at that
time
When Mayor Baxter saw the map he
asked if it would be possible to secure
a copy of it. He was told that a copy
had never been made. permission for the
work having been often refused. Re-
Gently Dr. 4. E. Hale of Boston told
Mayor Baxter that the map had lately
b cen copied by Quaritch of London
Mayor Baxter wrote for copy and he
has recently received it.

SCHOOL FOR MONKEYS.

Calcutta'a Novel Institution Where Our
speecR,Isss Animals Ars Taught,
There has just been founded at Cal
cutta an institution for the education
Of monkeys, says the Paris Journal des
Debats. Probably the prime movers Of
the affair never heard of Prof. Garner.
the celebrated American simiologist,
who has again gone to Africa to make
an exhaustive study Of the language Of
monkeys, or else they have deemed it
easier to teach the monkeys than to
learn from them in simian tongue. At
any rate. one of the methods employed
IN this strange educational institution
is the following:
A young monkey is taken and be
fore him is placed a set Of blocks on
which are painted in capitals the letters
Of the alphabet. These blocks are, in
fact, exactly similar to those which
children play with in every civilized
country In the world and they are used
In precisely the same way as if the mon
key was young specimen Of the hu-
nan race. There is one professor for
each monkey and the monkey is taught
by means Of the blocks to spell certain
words. If the word Is fruit" for ex-
ample, the monkey. after having been
taught to arrange the blocks so as to
spell the word quickly and without err
tor, receives a bit of fruit as his re-
ward The same exercise is repeated
with other words. and it is hoped that
in time the simians win learn how to
read and spell and understand English
If they cannot speak 1t.
Only young animals are taken, for
they learn more quickly than the old
ones. There is no danger Of this queer
school lacking scholars, for there are
thousands of monkeys to be found in
that part of India where Calcutta is
situated. An effort will also be made
it is said. to educate these wild beasts
so that they may become fairly eff
Gent domestic servants. The school Is
so young. as yet. however. that what
1t will accomplish is entirely a matter
of speculation. It's professors" are
enthusiastic about their novel work and
seem to think that new field Of use
fulness will soon be opened up for these
chattering little beasts.

American homes and is a subject every
housewife ought to seriously think of when
building time comes around. One good
open fireplace at least, as a general venti-
lator Of the whole, plenty of good closets,
drawers and a well fitted pantry are also
necessary adjuncts, as is a good cellar store
room, under lock and key, the coal bins
convenient to heater and cellar stairs.
Any house with all these good points
therein comes as near perfection as plan
ming will maize it.
Next is to build it substantially and
make it serviceable and with good taste,
this being the second consideration and
always the best to follow where economy
is the watchword. Where money is plenty
add style and elaborate decorations as
these elements take up the spare cash,
adding only to the vanity Of the eye and
the imaginative wants of the mind only
and do not add anything to the comfort
and welfare of sensible, well balanced
