When person begins to grow thin
there is something wrong. The waste is
greater than the supply and it is only a
question of time when the end must come.
In nine cases out of ten the trouble is
with the digestive organs. If you can re-
store them to healthy condition you
will stop the waste, put on new flesh and
cause them to feel better in every way.
The food they eat will be digested and
appropriated to the needs of the system,
and normal appetite will appear.
Consumption frequently follows vast
ing of bodily tissue because nearly all con-
sumptives have indigestion. The Shaker
Digestive Cordial will restore the stomach
to healthy condition in vast majority
of cases. Get one of their books from
your druggist and learn about this new
and valuable remedy.

TAPPING CROWS.
Il Is Not an Easy Matter to Not tne VII
 Birds

Ii Is Not an Easy Matter 10 Not siie Willy
 Birds.
 Crows are trapped md sold to sports men Tor shooting matches usually bring ing Sto per 100, but, liko other things. when scarce they bring more.
 1t IS no simple matter to trap crows, for the crow IS a willy bird. and to catch hlm III a nft set for that purpose re- quires skill, Nnd patience as well, but the hunger of the crow is always the trapper's greatest aid. One man alone would make but little heaaway catching crows and would probably sit all day in his little bough house ready to spring his net. but the crows would give his bait wido berth because they would know that he was there.
 After placing the carcass of some ani. mal on field the net is set elesa to it by bending poles of saplings, on which the net is hung fiat to the ground, where they are held down by triggerlike pegs, and line run 90 yards or more to a house built of boughs. where the trap. per is secreted.
 Another carcass is usnslly laid some hundreds of yards distant on the same or another field, where there is no nes set. Tho trappevs, usually two in mum. her, go into the bough house together before daylight, and when me ereHs be- gin to assemble on the fields one of them goes out and walks away. The crows, seeing him leave, grow q little bolder and approach the bait in ones and twos, but stop only long enough to get q beak. ful of the feah and fly off again. The carcass where there is no net set is of course the best patYonized, but the trap- per oil the outside makes 1t his business to walk near enough to that to keep the crows from settling on it in numbers and thus satisfying their hunger with. out going to tie one where the net is After awhile their hunger gets the bet. ter of their judgment or their fear, and they gather on the carcass where the net is. tIi.i3is is the opportunity of the man ill the bough house. who, with vigorous pull on the line, springs tho net over them. Quick work must be done then by the trappers who rush up to the net, to keep the trapped crows from crawling out at the ends and the front, where it is net staked fast to the ground. With their hands covered with stout buckskin gloves, to keep the crows from biting and scratching them. tue captured birds are put ill bags ready to be carried eff the field From 70 to 60 are frequently caught at one pull, but t is rare thing to set nefe than tWe springs cf the let in one day.-Philu delphia Record.

TREES IN THE STREETS.

Society In New York City to BeautifY
 the Avenues.
 Without doubt the Tree Planting as. sociation of New York has undertaken q most beneficent work So far as it proves to be practicable, it will contrib. ute as much as any other scheme that could be projected for the embellish- inent of the city. The incorporators are to a considerable extent the same as the incorporators of Inc Botanic garden men well known for public spirit aid intelligence. Thus the society begins under the most favorable possible aus pices, for caution and discrimination aa well as for enterprise.
 Of course its work will be largely ex. perimental There are streets, even resi-. dontial streets, in New York in which it may rot be wise to attempt tree plant. ing at all, fer the reason that the space cannot be spared either from the side. walk or the roadway, for the boxes that must protect the young trees or for the trunks of such as liveto maturity. Even in those streets ill N hich there is room enough for trees there are many places in which no trees can thrive by reason of the lack of sunshine, and indeed, there are scarcely any streets in New York below the park in which trees can be expected to do so well as in Q place like Washington, where the streets are so wide and the buildings so low as to give all trees that may be planted fair chance for life. Almost the only streets s,,N 4s,-s. e. .s.l.- =4.l mated are the Broadway boulevard and the Riverside drive. The boulevard has been until within the past few months a dismal monument to municipal neg feet. Now it is kept in order. but tina is required 10 replace the trees that have been allowed to die, and the double TOW of trees that were meant high oyer- arched to embower" does not embower at all, but presents upon tue whole 3 scraggy and dismal spectacle.
 This, Of course, comes mainly from neglect, for there is no reason why trees in this thoroughfare should not thrive if they can be made 10 thrive anywhere in New York. The general Introduction of electric lighting will do much for the srees unless gas is still eapried through ihe ground for fuel. Itis given cut that uncontaminated earth will be used for the setting of tha new trees, but, juag. ing from what we have experienced il the opening of Fifth avenue fer a sewer aud the previous openings of other ave. nues for laying cables, the pereolation of the gas through tho fresh soil would be a matter of only weeks at the longest. The new association is plainly destined to encounter many obstacles If it auc- ceeds in gaining even T partial victory over them, t will entitle itself to the gratitude of all New Workers New York Times.

Every few days the papers tell Of some
Nan found dead Many times the cause is
accidental poisoning because among several
medicine bottles the wrong was taken-thc
one containing deadly poison. If people
only really understood disease this sort of
thing would never happen.
Much of the sickness in the world is
traceable to some disorder of the digestive
organs, or to some impurity in the blood.
Nine-tenths of all the illness III the world
can be cured by purifying and enriching the
blood, and restoring perfect digestion. The
one sole and infallible medicine for this
purpose is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t can be implicitly relied upon.
There is no need having dozen medicine
bottles in the house. One. is enough. There
is no need of using pofsons at all. The
Golden Medical Discovery" is the most
effective medicine ever prepared, and there
is not an atom OF poison in a million bottles

This couplet, which puzzled a conun-
drum-lovng king and gained liberty
70 a condemned prisoner, who finally
explained that the man to whom he
was pointing was bis own son, loses its
pre-eminence iu the riddle books when
compared with the genealogical prob
lem which is now worrying Captain

expert vdenco on the sui.jsct. 1t has
been, therefore, submitted 10 the
test OF the Geek, Russian, Its Ian,
French, German and English Ian
guages, aud some-of the results. as
told by the captain himself are as fol-
lows
"My son has lovely wife, but he
should not have selected my wife's sis
ter. As it is, he has married his own
aunt. That makes him not only
my sou, but also my brother
in.law. He is his w fs's nephew,
his mothers brother-in law, and, if |
have other children, uncle 10 his own
brothers and sisters. But, whatever
else he may he, he cannot escape bis
wife's mother being his motherin.law.
There is also little consolation for him
in the fact that be will only be a cousin
of his own children, but that may serve
him in good stead when they become
too exac,ng in the matter of new
clothes and pocket money"
II Captain De Simoni is puzzled over
the genealogical predicament in which
he finds his son, think of his annoy ance
when he Contemplates his own mixed
state of relationship.
He is not only the brotherin-law of
his daughter-in-law, but will be, if his
son becomes father, the grandfather
of his own nephews and nieces. His wife
will be mother in-law to her own sister
and grandmother of her nephews or
nieces. Her own son is also her brother
in law.
So family trees, scarce on Ellis Is

the premises OF Captain De Simoni.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazettel
MARSHALL, March 13.-Here the

vent of wild geese; robins aud other
birds began their music Inauguration
day On this occasion we may add,
that many of the good people here
awaited themselves of the reduced rail.
,ad rates to visit Washington, and re-
turned del GIFTED by the sights there. A
p:ominen, gentleman's ruse was to
promise his wife"Oo! yes I'll care tor the
children while you enjoy the inaugura-
tion," then to the surprise of his wife,
tie same evening he met her in the
parlor of Washington friend.
There is universal JOY with US that
the sickness which befell nearly every
family in our town and community in
the form of la grippe, has pretty well
gone. Social visiting has begun, the
churches and schools are we'll attended,
4Dd the miseries produced by the cold
and bllzzards of January and February,
are forgotten, though up to the pres
ent time we had the most sudden
changes OF weather and ranges of
thermometer during the day-600 and
drop down at night TO the freezing
point.
Bo.h farms and gardens are opened up
vigorously and shortly our graziers will
turn out their stock cattle.
Fauquier can now show splen-
af
bred horses-either for sporting, har-
ness or saddle, and the wheel must ever
give place on our public roads to the
equestrian.
AS the readers of the GAZETTE evince
an interest in Cuban affairs we venture
d quotation here from friends letter
THAT quarter, whose son-in.law, cap
fan OF a gun boat, was sent up the
Canto river to take troops and provi-
sions, 40 miles from Manzanillo. There
we're two vessels one OF which was
blown up by bomb or torpedo and en-
uirely destroyed and all on board, save
the pilot, were killed or badly wound

with rifles; out Of thirty-four missing
Cweuty seven were either killed or
wounded, 1.-The youthful captain among
the latter, who managed to pick up all
that were in the water and then escaped

lized Christian arbitrators cannot inter
yeue and make some settlement or
peace between these Spanish neighbors
Of ours?
