Origin of Chowder.

According to The American Kitchen,
chowter is "a stew OF French origin, and
the word itself is derived from that Ian
guage. The French originally settled on
the borders of New England and Mother
Necessity soon taught them how to stew
clans and fish in layers, with bacon, sea
biscuit (crackers) and other ingredients in
kettle (chaudiere). Now, from the
French the Indians learned the Roman
Catholic religion and q little of the French
language and great deal Of the dish
which the newcomers had invented. The
Indians were not apt in the pronunciation
or in the significance Of French, and when
they heard the Gaul speak of the chaudiere
the Indian supposed it referred to the food,
and his nearest approach to the pronuncia-
ton was chawder-the name which early
English fishermen and settlers learned
from the Indian, and which the Anglo
Saxon in the new world further corrupted
into chowder

LIVER CLoGG|NG.
When Your Stomach Clogs Your
Liver See to Your Digestion.

Not one person in thousand knows that
the cause Of bliousness is the clogging OF the
liver by the poisons of indigestion. NOR That
the only proper cure for it is a tonic to aid the
stomach.
But modern medicine declares the truth OF
it. And the Shakers have profd 1t by the
wonderful success OF their Shaker Digestive
Cordial.
One Of the most important uses OF the liver
is to arrest and destroy all poisons which try
TO find their way into the blood. When it's
clogged it can't do this.
Undigested food fermenis and putrehes in
the stomach and the poisons o: putrefaction
clog and psraiyze the liver, after which they
find their way into the blood
Here is the true explanation of all the dis
tressing disorders and complications caused
by indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is the only tonic
cordial which aids the stomach in a natual way
to digest its food. BY this means, it cures in
digestion, restores the liver. and frees the
body from poison and disease.
Headache, dizziness, neuralgia, mental de-
preston weakness, bad taste, fever, fatueuce,
constipation. toss Of appetite, anemia, rheum-
atism, ana many other disorders are relieved
and cured by Sha ker Digestive Cordial

PEOPLE WHO DISTURB US.
The Man Who Doesn't Turn Out rs He
Should on n Muddy Crossing.


Zone Of the men we meet who disturb
US, said Mr.. Glimby, lis the man who
doesn't turn out; we meet him on muddy
crossings and in snowy paths where the
snowfall has not yet been cleared away
He may be merely thoughtless, or he may
be simply selfish, or he may be brute;
he is more or less disturbing
"Of course we have our own response
bility to bear ut this meeting, and we
should not only be unselfish about it, but
We should have our wits about us too. OBJ
viously, the conditions being alike, each
shoulG turn out to tho same extent. That
might result in each getting one foot mud
dy or snowy, but that would be the fair
thing to do. In some circumstances you
would turn out altogether; you would do
that for women and children and for the
infirm. If you had on overshoes, and you
should meet a man who did not have
them, you would turn out and give the
whole path TO him, and you might reason
ably expect the same from him If the CON
ditions We're reversed.
But you sometimes meet man who
stalks right along, holding tho path,
whatever the circumstances may be; you
meet men who give way grudgingly or rs
little as thoy can; you meet men who look
to see whom they are about to meet, and
who act accordingly; who, if you yield an
inch, take all. And then you meet the
man who seems to give no thought to it at
all, but who simply follows the path.
$50 far as am concerned these last dis
turb mo but slightly and that only because
| hate to see anything done thoughtlessly
or in the wrong way l have no feeling
toward them, but Of all the rest my opin-
ion is clear and well defined. New York

REPUBLICANS STATE COMMITTEE,
AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN. %, 1896. J

AUGUSTA, MAIN z, JAN 20, Ic9U' J
To the Republicans of Maine:-Prior to 1892
two Presidential electors at large, correspond
ing to the two United States senators, were
nominated in State convention. and the re-
manning electors, corresponding to the mem
bers OF the United States House of Represen-
tatives were nominated by the several con-
gressional district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot law en-
tirely changed the procedure. Under the law,
all Conventions are portion OF our election
system, and this ballot act requires that can
didates to be voted for by the Voters through
out the whole state must be placed in nomlna-
ton by Convention representing no less a
constituency than the whole state. Hence, all
tors must be nominated in State Convention,
and have therefore included in the call six
electors.

Senator Lodges speech in the Senate,
Monday on the bill to restrict immigra-
ton, was an able one. He sees a grave
menace to Americans in the admixture of
races radically different from our own,
such as Italians and Asiatics. 1t seems
to be a part of the destiny Of the people of
the New World to become cosmopolitan,
and much has already been attained in
this respect. So long as the conditions
surrounding immigration may be such
that only those among the peoples of the
earth can immigrate to this country, who
have energy, enterprise and thrift, there
would seem to be no occasion to fear bad
results from the mingling of widely differ
ent types. Bat when it is possible for
other countries to send US their ignorant
criminal and pauperized along with the
better classes. it is time to consider some
means whereby such Il tendency may be
checked Some such plan as is proposed,
to restrict the importation of illlteracy,
gives promise of relief.
