some of the things. how4Ger, which make
entertaining in Washington quite different
from other cities. Foret N ministers ana
their wives pay the first Jail upon the Vice
preme Court families and upon the sena-
tors and members of the foreign relations
committees and their families and upon the
senator's families seneSA4y. They also pay
the first call each season upon the ambassa-
doris.
Those who have no official position either
strangers here or the residents generally,
pay the first call upon each person in Off
cial life with whom they desire to become
acquainted. Old residents call on newer
ones. The wife Of a newly arrived con-
gresham would fulfill her first social duty
by calling at the White House. Then she
should make the acquaintance of the wives
of her husbands colleagues in his state
delegation and of the senator's families
from his state. After that she can ply
calls from the Vice Presidents horne to
the cabinet and court homes and, if she
has further time, go through the entire
congressional list. always remembering
that private residents who want to culti-
waite their acquaintance will come first to
see her.
A newly arrived senator's wife calls upon
the wives of all the senior senators, and If
she so interprets her duty, at the Supreme
Court homes and at the four embassies.
The cabinet lady has much greater bur-
den in the matter of visiting She has the
court, the Senate and the embassy calls to
make, and to return in person the calls OF
foreign ministers families. After each re-
ception she holds in the winter there are
between six hundred and thousand Wis.,
iting cards to assert. Perhaps one-tenth of
this number represent strangers tenn
porarly in town, and others who leave no
address; one-third of the remainder neces-
state some social recogn'tion in addition
to the sending of cards, md these require
a more careful handling. OF the great ma
jority lists have to be made and cards sent
at least twice during each season, for a
large portion of the visits are repeated at
these houses four or five times each winter.

Animals That Don't Drink.


How long would you be contented with
out a drop of water to drink? There are
many different kinds Of animals in the
world that never in all their lives sip so
muca as a drop of water. A parrot lived
for fifty-two years in the Zoo at London
without drinking a drop of water, and
many naturalists believe the only moisture
imbibed by wild rabbits is derived from
green heritage laden with dew. Many rep
tiles--serpents, lizards and certain kinds of
frogs and toads-live ard thrive in places
entirely devoid of water, and sloths are
also said never to drink. An arid district
in France has produced a race Of nom
drinking cows and sheep, and from the
milk of the former Roquefort cheese is
made. ~,

BANEFUL INDIGESTION.
Tho Disorders 1t Causes and the Poi~
sons 1t lnstils In the Blood.

If we only knew how dangerous, in
sidlous and ruthless a disease indiges-
tion Is, we would not wait as we do
before endeavoring to cure 1t.
The longer we wait, the more dan
gerous 1t is likely to become.
So the sooner we take Shaker Dr.
gestive Cordial the better 1t will be,
and the better we will be.
Indigestion Is dangerous because 1t
creates poisons in the stomach which
are absorbed by the blood and by 1t
carried to all parts of the body.
Could anything be worse than this?
These poisons would not be formed If
the stomach could digest it's food.
When it can't, Shaker Digestive Cor
dial will help it to do so.
Nothing will help the stomach so
we'll as Shaker Digestive Cordial; no.
thing else cure indigestion so quickly,
or so positively.
The reason is that it purifies the sto-
mach and the blood. and makes your
food strengthen instead of poison you.
1t Is not a medicine, but an aid to
digestion; a pleasant cordial for weak
stomachs.
Sold by druggists. Ten cents for a
trial bottle.

Shakers, 80 Reade ST., New York.

c. T. A. U. CONVENTION.
Proposition to Devote Two DAYS to
Annual Session.

Proposition to Devote Two Days to
Annual Session.
At the next state convention of the
Catholic Total Abstinence union
of Connecticut to be held In
Waterbury, September 21st, the
state constitution will be amended so
that conventions hereafter will be held
on the first Sunday and Monday of
September Very few delegates to the
past five or six conventions have been
satisfied with the results of these gath
erings. They claim that there is not
enough time allowed by one day for
actual business and that the interests
of five thousand total abstainers and
future members are not properly looked
after
If the convention should continue for
two days it will not entail more ex-
pense than those in the past, as it will
be advantageous to delegates to spend
Sunday and Monday-Labor day-do-
ing work for their societies. Their re-
ligious ceremonies, the speech making
and the election of officers could be
held on Sunday. All day Monday
might then be devoted to needed and
substantial business.
Lack Of Time Alleged
1t cannot be denied that many dele
gates are dissatisfied with the conven-
ton proceedings, and lack of time for
necessary business. Many state I'M
| ions of much smaller membership
| and with less prospect of increase de-
vote two or three days to annual meet
ings, while other unions have semi-an-
nual conventions.
At the last state convention, held at
Winsted, in August 1896, James F.
Brennan, Of New Haven, the second
vice-president of the c. T. A. u, Of
fered prize banner to the society
showing the largest increase in mem
bership during the year 1867 AT
the meeting of the board of govern
ment, held in New Haven In January
last, 1T was decided that all societies
| which were affiliated with the state un-
ion sixteen days before the next con-
vention would be entitled to compete
for the banner.
The Connecticut union will be repre-
sented at the national convention at
Scranton, Pa, August Is, 10 and 20, by
the state president, the Rev. John 7.

TO RECOMMEND MR.. scUDDER.
So at Special Meeting of the Board
of Education To- Morrow Evening

Special Instruction Committee Will Do
So at a Special Meeting of the Board
of Education Tomorrow Evening.
At a special meeting of the board Of
education to be held tomorrow evening
the special instruction committee will
recommend that Myron T. Scudder of
Albany, N. Y, be appointed principal
of Hillhouse high school. 1t is said
that the salary Of the new principal
will be $4,000, an increase of $500 over
that paid to Isaac Thomas. No official
action has been taken in regard to this
matter but Mr. Kendall was authoriz-
ed to secure principal at salary not
exceeding $4,000.
Mr. Scudder is thirty-seven years Of
age and graduated from Rutgers col
lege, New Brunswick, N. j., in 1882, and
is Phi Beta Kappa fraternity man.
He taught school at Fort Plain, N. Y,
