lndigestive poisons are the bane of
the dyspeptic's life. When sick, see if
your sickness is caused by indigestive
poisons. If so, take Shaker Digestive
Cordial. This is the only certain way
of being permanently cured, because
it is the only way that gets rid of the
poisons. You know that fermented
food is poisonous. You know that
poison is unhealthy. Shaker Digestive
Cordial clears the stomach of ferment-
ing food, and puriiies the blood and
system Of indigestivc pOisons. Ii
cures indigestion and the diseases
that come of it. Headache, dizziness,
nausea, stomach-achc, weakness. flatu-

dial.

q gilded crown as If to place il on the
coffin of the Emperor. At the gate of
the Invalides a statue of Napoleon in
his imperial robss was holding forth the
Gordon of the Legion of Honor.
On arriving at tho Invalides the coffin
was borne by the sailors into the chapel,
| where the King awaited it, The roof of
the church, up to the first lines OF arclii-
lecture. was hung with violet, beyond
with black; Napoleonio eagles, bees,
laurel wreaths, adorned every nook. He-
tween the arches were draperies, on
which were writtentthe names of many If
Napoleon's Generate, and their principal
deeds. High overhead, in sort of mis- !,
with the glare of their original colors,
worn down by dust and time, hung long
rows of dim, ghostly looking standards,
captured in old days from the enemy.
"Sire. said Prince de Joinvills to his
father, 81 present to you the body Of the
Emperor, Napoleon.
II receive it in the name of France, -
replied Louis Philippe.
Heitrand put on the body the victori-
Gus sword, and General Gourgaud placed
the Emperor's hat ON the coffin. Re-
liglous i'tes were then celebrated, and
Tor week the public were. admitted to
view the coffin In the "Chapelle Ar
dente."
A splendid tomb was aftsrwara erected
to Napoleon in the lnvalides, and here he
rests today under the care OF veteran
soldiers of France. Not a Bonaparte
WIS at his funeral; the only one. not in
exile was in prison on French soil.
THE Hotel des lnyalides, with it's con-
spiouous gilded dome, is vast estab-
lishInent, occupying an urea of about
thirty acres, on the left bank Of the
Seine. 1t is home for disabled soldiers,
and for those who have served for thirty
years. Although Intended to acoommo-
date 5000, no mors than 500 veterans
live there at present. The esplanade,
800 yards in length by 27o yards in width
the facade. the court OF honor, and the
great museum, filled with weapons and
armor. are points of especial interest,
. In the Church of the Invalides is the
tomb OF Napoleon, constructed by
Visconti. 1t is situated beneath the
dome In an open. circular crypt. twenty
feet in depth. and thirty-six feet in d.
ameter. The walls are of polished slabs
of granite, adorned with ten marble re-
iiefs by Sein MT. On the mosaic pave
ment which represents wreath of lau-
rel, rises the sarcophagus, single huge
block of reddish-brown granite. weigh
ing sixty-seven tons, and brought from
Finland. Above the crypt rises the
dome to q height Of 100 feet. The en-
trance to the crypt Is f1anked by two sar-
cophagi bearing the names Of Duroc and
Bertrand, the Emperor faithful friends.
Above the entrance are the words from
the Emperor's will: "Je desire que mes
oendres reposent sur les bords de la Seine,
au milieu de ce peuple Francois que
j al tant aime.' (desire that my ashes
rest on the banks of the Seine. in the
midst OF the French people, that Thave
loved SO well.'D

THE HARcouRT DEATH DUTIES.
Taxation that Is Making the Landed
Gentry Sweat.
(Chicago Record. }

lCnlcago Rec0ru.)
In order to realize the terrible strain
imposed by Sir William Harcourt's So
called death duties," which exoitsd 20
much resentment among the land own
ing class OF Great Britain last yenr. ii
may be mentioned that most of the ter
ritorial magnates who, through the deatt
of their father, or other near relatives
recently have come into possession of thu
family property, have been compelled b!
the burden thus imposed upon the m to
close up their country houses and to LIT
their shooting to the highest bidder.
Thus, when few months ago the mai
quis Of Bath succeeded to the en- tailed
estates of his father, be was forced by the
death duties which he had to pay on his
fathers estate to close up Long1at and 70
lease all the sporting privileges of the
estate to city merchant, and now 1t Is
announced that ths new Lord Eavilh
husband Of that pretty Mrs. Hora@
Fl elyar who, With her first husband, was
Washington in the days of LORD Sackvilla
will have to close RufYord abbey, one Of
the most beautiful country seats in the
dukeries,' the duties in this case
amounting to nearly 81. 600. 900.
The duties are exceptionally heavy IN
this instance; in the first place, becauss
the new Lord Saville is merely the
nephew instead of the son of tho testator,
and secondly, because Of the immense
and extremely valuable art collection
gathered together by the late lord, who
was a famous connoisseur. Each of his
pictures, each Of his pieces Of brio-a-brac,
mas been valued by experts, and on
every separate piece succession duty has
to bs paid !.
| It will be readily Eeen what heavy
charge this is upon any Inheritance, and
one can not help plying, to certain ex-
| tent, the great land owners and county
families. They are debarrsd by the laws
| of entail from getting rid of any of their
treasures, in which they have only life
| Interest, and yet at their death their es-
| tate is charged with succession duties
thereon. II the property happens to
change hands more than once In @ year
the estate is of course, charged with Just
double the amount of duty, ana the duke
of Devonshire and other opponents Of the
death duties can not be accused OF any
| exnggeration in that they declared in
Parliament and from the platform that
the duties in question, unless altered,
will ultimately result in the ruin of
every old family IN England.
| 1t is understood that during the
forthcoming session the Salisbury gov
eminent will bring forward measure
modifying the death duties now consti-
ruted, and will restrict them merely to
the socalled personal estate,'' exampt-
ing all entailed property and such things
as art treasures.
