The Turn nF Life.

The turn of life is a turning either
into prolonged walk or into the grave.
Between the ages Of 40 and go s-man
who has lived proper life ought to be
considered in his prime. His matured
strengthen constitution renders him
almost impervious to the attacks of
disease, and experience has given, him
soundness and lipeness of judgment.
His mind is resolute, firm, and equal;
all his functions are in the most per
feet order. He assumes mastery
over his business, builds up COM
petence on the foundation he has
formed in early manhood. and passes
through period of life after ded by
many Qualifications. Having gone
year or two past 60, he arrives at a
standstill. But here comes what we
have termed the turn Of life, which, IL
successfully negotiated, leads to old
age. At this period gout and apoplexy
lie in wait for the traveller. The system
and powers having reached their utmost
expansion, now begin either to close in
like flowers at sunset, or to break down
at once. One injudicious stimulant,
single excitement, may force it beyond
its strength, whilst careful supply to
props and the necessary care and at.
tention should ssstain the system in
health and vigor.-N. Y. Ledger.

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon ,commun-
ity of simple, honest. God fearing men and
women, have prepared the Shaker Digestive
Cordial for many years, and it is always the
same, simple. honest, curative medicine
that has helped to make the Shakers the
healthy, long-lived people that they are.
The Shakers never haye Indigestion. This
is partly owing to their simple mode Of life
partly to the wonderful properties of Sha-
ker Digestive Cordial. Indigestion is caused
by the stomach glands not supplying
enough digestive juice. Shaker Digestive
Cordial supplies what's wanting. Shaker
Digestive Cordial inyigorates tn e
stomach and all its glands so that after
awhile they don't need help. As evidence
of the honesty of Shaker Digestive Cordial,
the formula is printed on every bottle.

Senator Pritchard, of North Caro-

is. under Senate resolution, inyes-
tigating The workings of the civil
service law, says the Committee will
resume work during the first week of
thu session of Congress, paying par
|ticular attention to the internal re-
venue service, and that its report will
probably be ubmitted to the Senate
early in January. Senator Pritchard
will not attempt to say what the report
of the Committee will be, further than
that he thinks it will probably recon-
mend modification of existing rules,
but his personal opinions, which he
freely gives, are believed to be about
what are held by majority Of the
Committee, and probably are in line
with The report that will be made. He
said "A too broad extension of the
civil service law is calculated to weight
it down and render 1t unpopular, there
by endangering its continuance. A
good principle TO adopt would be that
scholastic examination is proper to
determine the liness of persons for
clerical positions, but such test is not
suitable to determine the fitness of

are executive. The idea thas the law
is sort of blanket to cover everything

1t is refreshing after reading the
numerous jingo schemes advanced just
now to find the following sensible lam
guage in the annual report of the Sec.
retary of the Navy Additions to our
feet may be hereafter necessary to
bring it up, in case of an emergency,
to an extent commensurate with the
growing necessities of the country,
especially in view of the development
of ALASKA, which is a continent in
itself, and of the possible annexation of
islands in the Pacific. On the other
hand, it's a mistake not to recognize
that our Naval power has more than
dubbed within the last few years; that
the case Of any emergency beyond our
present resources is the very rare case;
that until it comes ships will be gra-
dually taken out of commission and
put into reserve in order to reduce run
ming expenses; al d that due regard is
necessary to the relation of the Ma
tional expenditures to the National
revenues. The department therefore
recommends that the authorization of
new ships by the coming Congress, be
limited to one battleship for the Paci-
fc coast, where. after the FIVE now
under construction. are completed,
there will be only two, while on the
Atlantic there will be seven; and also
to few torpedo boats ard torpedo
boat destroyers, both of which are
comparatively of little cost, and more
of which are desirable In order to
bring this swift, mobile, and haDdily
effective arm of the service up to its
place in the general scheme for coast

is devoting a considerable portion of
his time to comforting with prominent
members of the party as to the legisla-
tion of the session. He is particular
ly anxious that whatever party mea-
sures are brought before Congress shall
have the united support of Republi-
cans, and he is losing no opportunity
to impress that idea upon those with
whom he talks. While not expecting
that all his recommendations, finan.
cial or otherwise, will be favorably
acted upon by Congress, he believes
that by good management, some of
them can be put through. There are
reasons for the belief that a sufficient
number of Senators will under certain
circumstances vote with the Republi-
cans in the Senate to pass several bills
that will greatly strengthen the Ad-
ministration and benefit the country. 1t
is not deemed expedient to specify
these measures at this time, but just

WASHINGTON, September 15.--It is
probable that within a few days Attor-
ney-General McKenna will announce
the course the Government will pursue
with refernce to the decree of foreclo-
sure in the case of the Union Pacific
Railroad. 1t can be said upon good
authority that the chances are very
strongly against the Governments ap-
pealing from the decree.
The Cabinet did not pass upon the
question definitely, but, on the con-
trary, postponed final determination of
it until a future meeting, but there was
so much said by the various members
in favor of allowing the sale of pro-
coed, that it is considered by those
familiar with the matter that there is
little doubt as to what the final con-
clusion will be.

KLONDICITIS.

klondicitis has struck in on at least
five men in California since the day, a
few weeks ago, the newspapers found
out that there was such a place. The
five men above mentioned had it bad,
so bad in fact that it became chronic
with them and settled on their brains,
thereby unsettling them.
John L. Carriere, Secretary of the
State Commission in Lunacy, has as
certained that within the past few
weeks Klondike has furnished an ex-
cuse for five men to become charges
on the State. They were committed
to several of the insane asylums.
Mr.. Carriere has no way of ascertain
ing how the penitentiary has been af-
fected by Klondicitis, but vouches that
it is bad for asylums.

Chamberlain, in 1895, sent with the
view Of ascertaining the extent Of the
displacement of British goods by for
eign goods. The main conclusions
reached are that the British manufac-
turer is still supreme in the best class

chinery and tools of certain patterns,
in supplying which the United States
is most successful, although Canada is
often a successful competitor in these
lines.
