We would like to look into the pleasant
face of some one who has never had any de-
rangement the digestive organs. We see
the drawn and unhappy faces of dyspeptics
In every walk of life. 1t is our national dis
ease, and nearly all complaints spring from
this source. Remove the stomach difficulty
and the work is done.
Dyspeptics and pale, thin people are lit
orally starving, because they don't digest
their food. Consumption never develops in
people of robust and normal digestion.
Correct the wasting and loss of flesh and we
cure the disease. Do this with food.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial contains al
ready digested food and is II digester of food
at the same time. Its effects are felt at once.

would be a benefit to society in scarcely
any other way. A stigma, almost, at
taches to one Unlisted in the American
army, as though he were good for moth
ing else. There was a time in the naval
service when it was thought discipline
could not be maintained without the
cat.ot-nine-tails and the thumbscrew,
but Il number of years of experience
has shown that better men are found
in the service, and better discipline
maintained without them. England
has recently taken these Essentials"
from her naval service. 1t would seem
that an adjustment of similar pract-
ices in the army would have IL like eff
feet of improving it, and make it an
honor to serve under the flag that
stands for freedom and liberty.

BOYCOTT UNLAWFUL.

An opinion has been handed down in
the United Statse circuit court of ap-
peals at st. Louis holding that the boy
colt is not a legal weapon. The case
in question is that of the ONley Stave
company of Kansas City VS.. ii. G. Hos
kins and II others, all members of the
coopers union. Some of them were
employed i'll the .Axley Stave company.
In January. 1896. the stave company
placed in their plant Il machineto hoop
barrels. The defendants after re-
questing the stave company to with
draw their machines and having their
request refused caused Il boy: ott.
The stave company went to the Uni
ted States district court and secured
an injunction against the defendants
restricting them from pushing the boy
colt. The defendants appealed to the
United States circuit court of appeals
which now atfirms the decision of the
lower court. Judge Sanborn and Thay-
err in doing so said the defendants had
no right to form a conspiracy to de-
privc the plaintiff of its own right to
manage its w business. Ii such Il
thing was lawful. then Il combination
may te organized for the purpose of
preventing the use of typcsctting ma

THE HEALTHY PALATE.
1t Does Not Grave Condiments. but the
Food Must POSSESS FLAVOR.

Food Must Possess Flavor.
While Il perfectly sound and healthy
palate does not crave for condiments,
even prefers to do without them, yet
the majority of digestions require to be
hundred and kept i'll order, and their
peculiarities must be studied. DIR. Brun-
ton says:
"Savory food causes the digestive
juicesto he freely sccreted. Well cooked
and palatablc food is therefore more di-
gestiblc than the unpalatablc. Ii food
lacks savor, IL desire naturally ARISES to
supply it by condiments, not always
we'll selected OF wholesome"
AS commerce brought them within
reach OF the people condiments, i'll sim
pie II complicated forms, came greatly
into favor, and foreign spices were add
ed to the wild herbal growths of the
fields and hedges. In our early history
the '.spicery' was IL special department
of the our and had its proper officers.
In the fourteenth century spices were
both costly and rare, most of them COM
ing from the Levuilt. Chaucer mentions
many by name-canella, macys, cloves
(clovcs), grains of paradise, nutmcgs,
caraway and spll1cnard. The a%ncients,
especially the Greeks and Romans i'll
the luxurious period Of their history,
used condiments very freely.
An old English historian, referring
to the earlier Roman court. says, 1.-the
best magistrates of Rome allowed but
the ninth day for the city and publick
business, the rest for the country and
the sallet garden" From this 1t would
seem as though the education of taste
was accounted OF some consequence III

SLATE
What They Are Composed of and How
They Are Made.

Slate pencils undergo u number of
processes before they are ready for use,
and in making them nearly all OF the
manual labor is done by boys. First
broken pieces of slate are put into q
mortar run by steam and are crushed to
u powder. which is then bolted i'll u ma
chine such as is used in Touring mills.
A fine slate flour results, which is thor
oughly mixed in a large tub with stea-
tite flour and other materials, the whole
making a stiff dough. The dough is
kncadcd 10y being passed between iron
rollers a number of times, and it is then
taken to Il table, where it is made into
short cylinders four or five inches i'll
thickness and containing from eight to
ten pounds of material each.
-Four of these cylinders are placed in
able nozzle so that the size of the,pen-
ellis may be regulated. In the retort the
material is subjected to great hydraulic
pressure and is thus pushed through the
nozzle in the shape of u long cord. AS
the cord ONE through the nozzle it
passes over Il knife and is cut into tho
desired lengths. The lengths are laid
OH boards to dry and are then placed on
sheets OF corrugated zinc, the corrugation
preventing the pencils from warping
during the baking process. The baking
is done i'll n kiln into which superheat.
ed steam is introduced through pipes.
The pencils go from the kiln to the
finishing and packing room, where the
ends are held for an instant under Il
rapidly revolving emery wheel, which
neatly points them.
Finally they are packed i'll p%asteboard
boxes, 100 pencils in each box, then 100
of the pa~stelAoard boxes are packed in a
wooden box, and they are ready for
shipment. Philadelphia Times.

The chaplain's official station in most
ship ceremonies aud in time of battle is
at the sick bay, where lie the sick. Dis
cipline and fresh air are wonderful pre-
servatives of health, and a chaplain's
duties t. the sick i'll times OF peace are
very light. As naval hospitals, however,
whittier are brought from the ships the
very sick and the seriously wounded, u
chaplain finds ample field for the exer-
else of that tender sympathy which
wins souls to God and for the minister
ing of the consultations of religion. 1t is
also the duty of the chaplain to assist
at naval burials. The regulations re-
quire that Christian burial be provided
for all men who die in the service. Ii
possible, the body is inferred with the
rites of the church to which the deceas-
ed had belonged. When this sad duty is
required at sea, the ship is hove to, the
flag displayed at half mast and the Off
GERS and men are mustered OH deck to
pay their last tribute to the departed.
The funeral services follow, and the
body is then consigned to the deep. a
guard of honor fires three volleys over
the watcry grave and the bugler sounds
the last ''taps"-sad, mournful notes of
the bugle which tell Of the hour Of
sleep If the death occur at a hospital,
an escort and guard of honor from the
ship to which the deceased had been at
tached accompany the funeral cortege
to the grave. AS the procession enters
the cemetery the buglcr precedes, fol-
lowed by the chaplain. This spectacle
is always impressive. 1t naturally sug-
gests the prayer that angels, led by the
angel guardian, may bear the soul of
the deceased before the throne of God
as friends bear the body to the grave;
that the angel at the Judgment seat

How Science Views the Difference Between
Men and Women.

- SSh6AhS0 NOSW0 hh9
Men and Women.
The weighsier brain would seem also
to indicate, IL pr;ori, the greater intel.
lectual power, and this, too, is borne
out by undoubted facts. Women, it has
often been said, have yet o produce
their Newton, their Dante, their Arts
totle, their Pascal, their Goethe. The
assertion is very fccbly met by the O IL
tcntion that women's education has
been for centuries neglected.
1t was no education which enabled
Pascal as a child to see his way through
problems which not one man i'll 1000 can
understand after prolonged mental drill.
1t was not education which gave the
race its great men poets. "They lispcd
i'll numbers for the numbers came"
But where are their feminine equals?
We will, however, take III art i'll which
women have enjoyed far more training
than men-the art of music. There are
some excellent women pianists and vio-
linists, but where are the female Bachs,
Becthovens, MoZarts and Wagners! Ma
great ONE composers as of the fcmi-
nine compcers of Titan and Raphael,
the technique of whose art seems pecul-
iarly fitted to womcn
Nature tells us that she cannot form
the matrix out of which commanding
intellectual gcninses of the female sex
would proceed. Why this is so we may
partly guess, but cannot wholly know.
We see that nature has divided the
world into sexes for her own purposes,
and that tt each sex peculiar functions
are assigned. We see that the physio-
logical functions of woman neccssitate
Il different anatomy from that of man,
and we infer that these functions and
this structure preclude, speaking gener-
ally, the kind of effort which we call
supreme genius, as also that kind of
effort which we call sustained executive
power. While women are not so far
differentiated from men that they cam
not enter with pleasure into mems
works, and, often i'll IL great measure,
share in their production, it remains q
fact that it is mans particular organi-
cation which is alone capable either of
the highest manifestations of genius OF
the most sustained exhibition of energy.
Whether it will always be so we do moi
know, for we cannot peer into the III
ture. 1t is sufficient that it not only is
so now, but that it always has bccn so.
and that science does give us some goo,
grounds for believing that the fact Is
deeply rooted i'll the very structure O.
