We know OF but one community in
the world where dyspepsia is practical
ly unknown, and that is the Shakers of
Mount Lebanon, n. Y. These good peo-
pie have been studying the question of
digestion for more than hundred
years, and that they understand il pret-
ty thoroughly, is evidenced in the fore
going fact. Their Digestive Cordial is
the safest and best remedy in cases OF
indigestion that we know of. A trial
bottle can be had through your drug
gists for the trining sum OF 10 cents.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies
the system with food already digested,
and at the same time aids the digestion
of other foods. 1t will almost instantly
relieve the ordinary symptoms of indi-
gestion, and no sufferer need to be told
what these are.

A FRENCH BABY.
LeEnl FormaIities on the Birth of a
Possible Soldier
From the Century.

From the Century.
The birth of new citizen I'm Franco a+
once gives rise to countless formal,ties and
an avalanche of legal scribblings which
would teach him, could he but understand.
That his country Is par excellence the home
of legal ceremony and administration
Within the first twenty-four hours notice
of the birth must be sent to the mayor's

lage in France, so that the official physi
clan may call and make the necessary legal
statement 1 suppose he wants to con-
vince himself that the declaration already
made was correct, and that the family,
when It announced the birth of girl. was
not trying TO screen q future soldier from
his compulsory service. Then the father
accompanied by two witnesses, goes to fill
out the birth certificate, and give his child
its legitimate, documented position to
which he or she will be obliged to have re-
course in all the great, and frequently in
the minor, circumstances of l:fe from enc
end of II to the other. Without Ii the
child could not enter a school, nor draw
lots on entering the army, nor get mar
ried, nor be buried. The least mistake of
form would have most serious consa-
quences; the baptismal names declared
must always be placed in the same order
on all future deeds. These are usually
saints names. l recall the amusing anger
of a young American father of my &C
Quantance, who wished to give his son
born in Paris the name of the great sailor
DUquesne, in remembrance of the avenue
where the baby had seen the light of day,
and. in addition, the family name of one
of his friends. which no Frenchman could
pronounce. All this seemed so shocking

THE CIRCUS REVISITED.
One of the Summer Experiences of a
PHILOSOPHERS.


W. d. Howells in Harper's Weekly.
The circus announced itself in the good
old way weeks beforehand by the vast
posters of former days. and by profusion
of small bills, which fell upon the village
as from the clouds, and left it Uttered
everywhere with their festive pink. They
prophesied 1t by name borne by the first
circus 1 ever saw. which was also an ami
NAL show. but the animals must have all
died during the fifty years past. for there
is now no menagerie attached to it. l did
not know this when heard the band bray
ing through the streets of the village on
the morning Of the performance, and for
me the NANCY old came!s and the pimpled
elephants Of yore led the procession
through accompanying ranks of boys VINO
have mostly been in their graves for half a
lifetime. the distracted ostrich thrust an
advertising neck through the top of its
case. and the lion roared to himself in the
darkness of his moving prison.
I felt the old thrill of excitement. the
vain hope Of something preternatural and
impossible. and 1 do not know what could
have kept me from that circus, as soon as
I HAD done lunch. My heart rose at sight
Of the large tent (Which was yet so very
little in comparison with the tents of the
three-ring and two-platform circuses); the
alluring and illuSory side shows of fat wo-
men and lean men: the horses tethered in
the background and stamping under the
dy-bites. the old, weather-beaten grand
chariot. which looked like the ghost of the
grand chariot which used to drag me cap
tive IN it's triumph; and the canvas shell
ters where the cooks were already at work
over their kettles on the evening meal of
the circus folk.
Throughout the whole performance at
this circus I was troubled by a curious
question, whether 1t were really of the
same moral and material grandeur as the
circuses 1t brought to memory. or whether

Then what has this fellow done?' asked
the tenderfoot.
He stole a bicycle" replied the old man
slowly and impressively.
Just then there was movement near the
center of the crowd. and the next minute
the man had been released and some one in
the crowd was calling three cheers fol

to compile TIE etiquette of the road from

There is a young journalist in New York

repartee. 1t is usually the occasion tina:
prompts the rerahrk'rather than the per-
son to whom he addresses it. If it is a
good one, he remembers it and uses it in
his business. Sometimes he gets as good
as he sends, and from the least expected
quarters.
The other day he rushed into a dairy
lunch room not FAR from Park Row, to get
a belated bite.
Can 1 have two poached eggs on toast
in hurry?" he asked of the waitress, who
was pretty enough to be stupid. He looked
up at the clock as he spoke, and saw that
there were no hands on it. So he added
loosely, Il see 1t is later than 1 thought"

eyes followed his glance. why, you can
