Indigestion is often taken for
consumption. The word consump-
tion means wasting away, and dys-
peptics often waste away as badly
as consumptives.
The reason people waste away is
because either they don't get
enough to eat, or they don't digest
what they do eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial. This
will help you to digest you: food
and stop your loss of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made
from herbs, barks and the juices
Of fruit, by the well-known Shakers
at Mount Lebanon. 1t possesses
great tonic and digestive powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has
cured many supposed consump-
tives (who were really dyspeptics),
by simply helping their stomachs
to digest their food, thus giving
them nourishment and new
strength.

CURIOUS CLOCKS.
How Some People of Foreign Lands
 Reckon Time.

Neither clock nor timepiecc is to be found in Liberia. The reckoning of time is made entirely by the movement ard position of the sun, which rises at six a. m. and sets Ut six p. m., almost 10 the minute, all the year round, and at noon is vertically overhead, says Popular Science News. The islanders of the South Pacific have no clocks, but make nn ingenious and reliable t.nc marker of their own. They take Inc kernel from the nuts of the candle tree and wash and string them on the rib of a palm leaf. The first or top kernel is then lighted. All of the ker- eEls are Of the same size and substance, md each will burn q certain n,tmber of minutes and then set fire to the enc next below. The natives tie pieces of hlacE cloth at regular intervals along the string to mark the divisions of tine.
 Among the natives of Singdr, in the Malay archipelago, another peculiar device is used. Two bottles are placed neck and neck, and sand Is put in one of them, which pours itself into the other every half hour, when tie bottles are reversed. TLere is line near by. also, on which arc hung l2 rods with notches from one to twelve.

 The earliest settlers of Bell county, Tex, found along the mountains north cast of Belton and near Nolan's creek what appeared to Ec cid mines that Ind probably been worked by the Sranini ds, Indians or Actecs. Since then every once in awhile there has been talk Of tryiHg to open the mines and sec what was in them, says the Galveston News. They presented the appearance of deep holes in the ground, some of W hich had been partially ard others almost en- tirely filed with dirt. In scmc instances bushes had grown in these places. In one or two cases large cedar logs had been placed over these minc-holcs ond dirt thrown on them.

A MISSED KISS.
The Reason Why Two Ambassadors Lost
 Their Places


 Two ambassadors have lost their places through their failure to take ad- vantage afforded them to kiss the hand of the czarina, says the Seattle Post Intcll,genccr. Count Montebello. the French ambassador. lost his place. It is not made known whether he only obeyed orders or not, but he had to suf- fer the penalty. It was very unfcr- tuaatG for him that when the French people through their government had undertaken to show their friendship for Russia by most lavish display of os- tCntatious ceremony and the expendl- .Gsc of E,any millions of dollars the entire effect should be lost by the fail ure ef the chief functionary to press k.s l!fs to the imperial hand.
 The other ambassador who lost his position is Prince Radalin, the repre- sentative at the Russian court of the German empire. No reason is given for his omission 10 observe a customary act of homage. He had not the excuse of being the minister from republic. He represented q court where such cere- monies are strictly observed and an inn pcrial master who is as strict in re- quiriHg observance of court etiquette as the Russian emperor. These pun ishmgnts should be warning to all men ncvcr to lose favorable opportunity to kiss la,ly's hand. Many a man has lived to regret that he has not seized suitable occasion to snatch a kiss; there seems to be more danger in being tooremjss than in being too bold. Where the danger lies and how great it will be either in sustaining or acting is mat ter for individual judgment. But it is sometimes worth risking, it would seem
