A gentleman who visited Java has sent q
very singular tree TO his sister who resides
In Savannah. 1t is called the tree OF DEATH
He says that the natives described TO him
that there was singular tree called the Kali
Mujah Its breath would kill birds, aud
even human beings. One day when he was
chasing bird Of paradise, he noticed that 1t
dropped suddenly 10 the ground, under a
tree. He examined the tree, and began HIM
self to feel strangely, as the odors from its
leaves began to be inhaled by him. His head
swan, and ringing sounds came TO his ears,
rs though he were being chloroformed He
hastened away from 1t, but procured speci-
men aud sent II to America, which, 1t is said,
Is the 1rst one transplanted in our soil.
What striking illustration this is OF the
tree OF death which has been planted in our
fair America by the distlller! 1t has leaves
for the blighting OF the Nations. | see the
young the mlddle-aged, the old, chasing the
birds OF pleasure and then falling down be-
meath the dark shadow Of this baleful tree,
to die there, never to rise again. Would that
we might lay the AK at the root OF this tree!

Incidents taken from an exchange:
"a young gentleman who had never been
out in the world a great deal, and had never
attended o banquet, was invited with his
father to attend n very fashionable one Ia u
certain city. Many kinds OF wines and
liquors were served, as is customary 0t such
places. Seated at the table by the side OF
his father, tho waiter approach the young
man with LIQUORS and wines and asked him
what he would have. Somewhat embarrassed,
and not knowing what to say, he thought
awhile, looked around, and Ht last said 20
the waiter, IN take what father does.
"The waiter passed on to the father. He
had heard the answer OF his boy. Up to this
time he had been moderate drinker. His
boys answer TO tho waiter woke him up to
the fearful responsibility upon him as he was
about to mako Il choice, and brought him
face to face with question, upon the decis-
ion OF which depended largely the future
moral welfare OF his son.
"What shoull he do2 What should no
take? Aroused fully TO his responsible posi-
tion, more SO than he had ever been before,
he said, with emphasis: 'Ill take writer.

abstainer, and his son was saved to sobe,

ALcoHoLAN IRRIrANr.

Alcohol has the power of degenerating
nerve-nbers. 1t is especially an irritant to
the pneumogastric nerve, and has an espe-
cial destructive affinity for that Derve. The
children or parents who suffer from alcohol
ism are, in a tremendous percentage OF
cases, the victims of consumption. In fact,
the children Of parents who are even mod
erately hard drinkers always prove the
easiest victims OF consumption, Further
more, the records show that hard drinkers
themselves are particularly susceptible to
consumption, and that alcoholism In a very
great percentage Of cases leads to consump-
tion. These facts are due to reflex action
over he pneumogastric nerves.

The San Francisco Examiner has recently
done for that city what the New York Journal
did for the metropolis, shown up the liquor
business with some OF its results. 1t estimates
that the 5000 licensed saloons-taklng no

would cover sixty-sx solid blocks and make
in a straight line street sixteen miles long.
1t would require a cask 455 feet high and

THE HONEST SHAKERS AND THEIR
CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA.

The shopkeeper who cheats us by lying
with regard to the quality of his goods.
and the grocer or the butcher who gives
us short weights, is a thief. However.
their knavery touches nothing but our
pocketbook. There is another widespread
form of misrepresentation Of a far more
dangerous and villainous character.
We refer to the false statements and
worthless guarantees that frequently ac-
company medicines. To guarantee a med
icine to cure is to brand it as a quack
product. If we can guarantee to cure dis
ease. then we can guarantee everlasting
life, for in a large majority of cases peo-
pie die of disease. the proportion of vio-
lent or accidental deaths being very
small
The Shakers have always been known
as a most upright and honorable people.
and their success in the manufacture of
medicines has also been well known. 1t is
therefore not surprising to find them pur-
suing a very original and novel plan for
the introduction of their remedy for dys-
pepsia.
These God-fearing people. whose motto
has always been TRY all things and hold
fast that which is good" have put upon
the market 10 cent sample bottles of their
product, or sufficient to give it a trial.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is so
prompt in its action that for the trivial
sum of ten cents, a person can usually
determine as to whether or not It meets
the requirements of his case. There are
forms of dyspepsia which it won't help,
but these are very rare. In most cases
the first dose relieves all distress, and an
increase of appetite at once follows.
All druggists have it, and the next time
you are troubled with indigestion send out
and try this popular and successful prod
uct. 1t represents nearly a hundred years
Of patient investigation and study.

From the New York World.
Ottawa, Ont. May 29.-Speaking to-day
of the tornadoes that passed over Michi-

Prof. E. Stone Virgins said:
These cyclones had the same cause as
that which partially demolished Louis
VILE Ky, on March %, $780, namely, the
lunar conjunction with the sun. The moon
was in perigee ana Ia conjunction on May
p, and, occurring a nine hours west of
London, had the maximum of power in
forcing the atmosphere over the Atlantic
westward against the Rocky Mountain
chain. This increased the force of the
current that runs up the Mississippi val
ley and down the great lakes.
AT such conjunctiOns the earth is slight
~ compressed and electricity fills the at
mosphere, which Immediately begins TO
absorb moisture. The atmosphere when
not electrically charged is perfectly cry
and cannot hold water in solution. The
particles of air composing the atmosphere
then repel each other and the air is light.
This Mississippi current was then under
great electric tension and was loaded with
Vapor. Suddenly the telegraph wires con-
verging in St. Louis, which stretch in all
directions over the vast areas of the west,
begin to draw or the electric force from
the current. The air particles, being no
longer held asunder, rushed together, and
an air column over the city in a moment
became heavy and sank down towards the
city, and the surrounding air, rushing in
to fill the void, created a cyclone, just as
a sinking snip causes a whirlpool. That s
the thing in a nutshell"
