A NEW DISCOVERY BY THE SHAKERS

For more than n hundred years the
Mount Lebanon Shakers have studied
the cultivation OF medicinal plants and
sought to extract from them their heal
ing essences. Their labor has not been
spent In vain. They have made dis
covery that will prove blessing to
mankind. II consists of n cordial that
causes immediate relief in cases OF In
digestion. The importance of this dis
covery will be apparent when we rea-
lie that nearly nine tenths of our suf-
fering are caused by dyspepsia or in
digestion. Nearly every person you
meet has this digestive trouble In some
OF Its varied forms-slck headache, dis
tress after eating, pain and fullness In
the chest after eating. palpitation OF the
heart, etc, are but symptoms OF indl-
gestion. TO relieve these sunerings
has been the study OF the
Shakers, and they have succeeded. The
reason the Shaker Digestive Cordial has
such an immediate and salutary effect
is that Il eauges the food eaten 10 be
dlnested, for It IL undigested food that
causes the distress. The Cordial

A Fierce Fight With Sharks.

Sharks are unusually plentiful and
daring among the reefs and keys of
Florida this season. The spongers and
wreckers have great trouble in conse-
quence, for their business compels
them to do more or less work beneath
the surface.
Two wreckers were out in a small
boat sounding for Spanish schooner
that had foundered on the reefs of
coral atoll near Key West, and while
resting in their work they saw a pilot
fish approaching them followed by two
sharks. The water was calm and still
and the big blue fins could plainly be
seen cutting the water Almost in a
moment the foremost shark discovered
them, and, coming with rush, struck
the boat with such force as nearly to
capsize i. The other fellow shot for
ward in similar manner; but, glanc-
ing to one side, caught in its huge
mouth the blade of one of the weighted
oars, and ground off large piece as if
the tough wood had been SO much
cork. This it swallowed almost in
stantly; then describing long, grace
full curve in the water it turned about,
and once more came charging down
upon the boat. The men stood ready
to receive the second shock, and the
brute rushing with the velocity of an
arrow sprang clear above the surface,
projecting its jaws over the end Of the
boat, which was drawn down and
swamped.
Having neither load nor ballast, the
light craft did not sink, but easily sup
ported the weight of the two men, who
nevertheless fully realized the peril
Gus position in which they were
placed. One of the wreckers, throw
ing his left arm around the mast to
steady himself, struck outward and
downward with the boats ak with all
his force. The blow fell fair upon the
snout of the shark that had caused the
boat to swamp and penetrated the flesh
to the depth of several inches and laid
it open to the bone. Meanwhile the
other wrecker had al he could do to
stand off the other shark. Striking out
with heavy handspike, he thrust the
end of the implement between the jaws
of the monster just as it rushed at him
with wide-open mouth. The shark
promptly seized the handspike in its

powerful grip, tore it from the mans
hands, and, rushing off through the
water, ground the timber into frag-
ments and swallowed them.
Shark No. 1 was now rolling about
on the surface a short distance away,
apparently in great distress; and lis

scenting the blood, Immediately
pounced upon the wounded creature
and tried to make a short job OF it.
But the wounded fish was not dead
shark by any means. There was an
exciting scrap from the start. The
sharks fought all over the waves, lash
ing and churning the water into foam,
and gradually receding from the, boat.
There came at last great splashing
and a tremendous upheayal of water,
and then both combatants disappeared
from sight. The two men were res
cued a short time later by one OF the
many sail-boats that are constantly
darting N and out of the keys.-New

THE SAVCRY ONION.
The Somewhat Despised Vegetable Is
Useful and Wholesome.

Few realize that perhaps the most
useful of all vegetables, to the cook as
we'll as the housewife, Is the savory
and healing onion. Soups, sauces,
chowders, made-oyer-dishes, in fact al
most every meat or fish dish that is
served, is seasoned with n few drops
of onion juice. and one would wonder
what was wrong if this Juice was omit
ted. History classes the onion among
the oldest vegetables known. and it is
spoken Of with Difference. The onion
was among the things the Israelites
longed FOR while in bondage, and q
tourist travelling through the eastern
countries writes that it is not to be
wondered at, rs the onions grown in
Egypt are most delicious. A celebrated
medical authority says:
Onions make nerve tonic not to be
fesrised. No other vegetable will so
quickly relieve and tone up a worm
out system, and they should be eaten
freely, particularly by brain workers
and those suffering with blood and
nervous diseases" He further says:
Nothing will clear and beautify poor
complexion sooner than the eating Of
onions in some FORM"
If onions are prepared properly there
s little or no odor from them left in
the breath. and for lovers of uncooked
sliced onions it is we'll to know that If
O spcig OF parsley is dipped in vinegar
and eaten 10 unpleasant odor in the
breath can be detected. With so much
TO recommend it the onion in some form
should be found frequently upon the
daily menu.
Onions should be cooked always in
.cstc or porcelain lined vessels, for
irccware Is liable to make them dark
colo.ed. If the onions are held under
water while peeling there will be no
shsaGing Of tears. To extract the juice
.rc;n IN onion, cut a thick slice from
o.e ED Of the vegetable and press the
cut surface against the coarse crater,
moving the onion a little and letting
the Juice run from the corner Of the
xrzter. Cut off another slice Of the
onion and repeat until you have the
desired quantity.

A Man Attacked by Frogs.

For some time Elmer Cantor, of
Union, n. Y, has noticed a peculiar
taste to the water in his we'll, and one
day recently he determined to clean it.
William Forbes was engaged to pump
it out, and after draining off as much
water as possible he descended into
the we'll. Suddenly Cantor heard a
loud commotion in the water and a
muffled cry for help. He thought the
man had been overcome by gas and
hurried down to find squirming mass
on the water, with which Forbes was
battling. On projecting stones above
his head and in the water around
him were thousands of frogs. Some
were monstrous fellows, and it
seemed as though they had made a
preconcerted attack.
They were leaping upon mis- head
and shoulders from all directions, and
Ire was covered with a slime that gave
forth a sickening odor. 1t was with
some difficulty that he was rescued
from his perilous position, and had he
remained in the water short time
longer he would have sunk helpless
to the bottom. It is supposed the
frogs reached the we'll from pond
by means of an underground channel.

She Rode a Wild Steer.

Miss Edgewood, of LIE Raysville,
Penn, is an intrepid horsewoman, and
likes nothing better than riding fiery
mustang over the hills and down the
rayines. The other day, however, she
became tired of this wild sport Of
wrestling with bucking broncho and
rode wild steer by way of variety.
In company with number of cattle,
men she had been chasing steer that
was particularly wild and feet-footed.
The young lady laughed at the men,
who seemed afraid of the animal, and
smilingly challenged them to throw a
rope over the animals head and ride
him. They declined with thanks. She
then lassoed the animal herself, and,
running up to it, deftly tied rope
around its head and neck, and then
told the men to let him loose.
This they did reluctantly, and the
enraged steer was quickly on his feet,
but equally as quick the girl was on
his back. Then began q ride that
beat old Paul Revere's by some Sec
onds. For half an hour it was con-
tinued-over hill and dale, through
brush and gorges-the girl always
hanging on like burr. Finally the
steer completely gave out, and the girl
led him to her home in triumph.

Saved at Sea by a Dog.

The ships company Of the little
French fishing brigantine Marie
arrived at Hoboken, N. j., one night
recently on the North German Lloyd
steamship Muenchen. The Marie
sailed from Granville for the Banks
on March q, with twenty-three fisher
men under Captain Berri, the owner,
or patron, OF the little craft, Jean
Dupau, and big Newfoundland dog
called 'Noir," which in plain Yankee
means "black." The dog is pure
blooded and was born almost within
sight of the Banks.
The Marie ran into good deal OF
rough weather when about in mid
ocean, and sprung aleak. A heavy
gale swooped down on her on April
Is and whipped out her foremast
close to the top of the forward house.
There were ten dories on the dock
house, and four of these were carried
away by the seas that swept athwart
her.
The brigantine then fell into the
trough of the sea- Her nimble sea-
men chopped away the wreckage and
got her head to the seas by using the
main boom as jury foremast and
bending on to it storm trysail. The
storm subsided, but left long swell,
which after three days started the
vessels seams so that her pumps were
unable tn keen her free,
The Newfoundland was the only
creature aboard that did not take any
rest. He ran about the decks day and
night, and barked with almost as
much energy as the whistle of steam
ship in distress.
The brigantine's decks were flush
with the seas, when, on April q, the
Muencher hove in night. The day
before a British steamship passed far
to the southwest of the brigantlne,
but did not notice her. The dog
howled as loud as he could, but the
Briton was too far away to hear.
The moment the Captain of the
Muenchen saw the fare light on the
brigantine's decks he ordered two
boats manned and swung from the
davits to rescue the hapless fishermen.
They were not needed, as the French
men had already left their vessel in
their dories. One careless sailor fell
overheard while getting into dory.
He might have drowned had it not
been for the big Newfoundland, which
leaped into the sea and grabbed the
fisherman by the blouse, holding him
up until his shipmates came alongside
him and hauled him aboard.

Heart, on the Right Side.

In hospital at Florence, Italy, a
patient was submitted to the K rays,
when, to the astonishment of the oper-
ators, it was discovered that his heart
was on the right side instead of the
left. This did not appear to trouble
the patient in any way. 1t may be re-
membered that Picchianti, the noted
scientist, also had his heart on the
right side, and that he died at sixty
four years of age without ever having
been seriously i'll. !.
