months on that trip. but it was good,
healthy exercise, and believe we en-
joyed every moment. OF course there
were anxieties. For example, when we
struck Illinois some of the roads weren't
properly fenced and the sheep would
scatter out all over the country. Then
came lively work, but, fortunately, the
dog was as good as four men.
II often think of the trip and COM
pare in with the present. Now we would
bring that many sheep to Chicago In as
many days and less as it formerly took
months. Now, instead of personal so
icitation among the farmers, a tele-
gram serves. Instead Of driving the
sheep and having that healthy outdoor
exercise on horseback, the cattle come
in cars and are here shortly after being
ordered. Instead of saying to the farm
ers and others: How much will you
give for these Sheep we say to the
great United States: You will give so
much to-day for sheep and no one can
or will contradict US, and our prices are
as fixed as the Rock of Gibraltar. But

TO LOOK FOR AN ISLAND.
Schooner Leaves San Francisco on
q Long and Romantic Voyage.
Will Try to Locate . Little Coral
Reef on Which There Are Said
to BE Valuable Guano
Deposits,

The schooner Louisa D. cleared at
the custom house at San Francisco the
other day for cruise to New Baldayo
island. Her trip promises to be long
ind romantic one, and before she comes
back her crew expects that the Ameri-
can flag will be floating over little
coral reef close to the equator that no
man or nation has claimed. New Bal
hayo is the name given to the island,
but so far the most accurate location
that can be given for it is that 1T is in
the North Pacific ocean. The island is
said to be covered with an enormous
and wonderful deposit of guano, and
for nearly so years numerous vessels
have started out in search of it. but they
have always returned without being
able to give its location.
It was first reported as being in ex-
istence by Lord Clipperton, an eccentric
English navigator, naturalist and dis
coverer, and the man who gave his
name to Clipperton island. He said in
his report of cruises that the island lay
approximately in north latitude 16
and west longitude 1877, but is described
as low atoll and navigators say a
vessel could sail within dozen miles
of it and pass by without seeing it.
That part of the ocean is out of the
track of vessel plying between regu-
lar open ports, and, should the island
exist, it could only be found by much
diligent search for it. This is the OBJ
ject of the Louisa D. She is being dis
patched by the Oceanic Phosphate COM
pany. Capt. F. ~Errat viii command
her, and he says he viii not come back
until he finds the island. He was the
mate of the schooner Moonlight, that
made an unsuccessful search for the
island about year ago. The schooner
has on board plentiful supply Of pro-
visions and quantity of lumber with
which to build house on the island

stan or New fOrk's Building.
Marty Reese, the New York city hall
janitor, who lives in the building with
his family, engaged new servant. She
began her services in the morning and
just before midday went to the roof to
hang out the weeks washing. She
fixed a pair of radiantly red drawers
and like hued undershirt to the first
rope she could reach and then drew it
skyward. Then fastening the end to
a nail on the roof the servant descended
triumphantly to the janitor's apart
ments and reported that the washing
was being dried rapidly.
Shortly afterward a pedestrian cross
Ing City Hall park looked upward and
saw two gaudy red garments tossing
fitfully about the flagstaff on the build
Ing. Others were attracted by the
strange signals and in short time a
crowd was looking and laughing.
When the janitor became aware of the
crowds outside the hall he rushed TO the
roof and found that the servant had by
mistake attached the red underwear to
one Of the flag ropes end drawn them
halfway to the top of the staff which
bears Mayor Strong's private ensign.
1t required only half minute for the
janitor to take down the underwear
and about half that time to decide that
the new servant was not fitted to shine
la the service of the public.

BREAKFAST AND HEALTH.
The Morning Meal Should Away
Prccede Exercise.

The Morning Meal Should Away
Precede Exercise.
Breakfast should be eaten in the
morning before leaving the house for
exercise or labor of any description.
Those who do it will be able to perform
more work and with greater comfort
and alacrity than those who work an
hour or two before breakfast. Besides
this, the average duration of lie of those
who take breakfast before exercise OF
work will be a number of years greater
than that of those who do otherwise
Most persons begin to feel weak after
having been engaged five or six hours If
their ordinary avocations; a good meal
reinvigorates, but from the last meal OF
the day until the next morning there is
an interval of some ten or twelve hours.
Hence the body, in a sense, is weak and
in proportion cannot resist deleterious
agencies, whether of the fierce cold Of
midwinter or of the poisonous miasm
which rests upon the surface of the earth
whenever the sun shines on q blade Of
vegetation or heap of offal.
This miasm is more solid, more con
centrated and hence more malignant
about sunrise and sunset than at any
other hour of the twentyfou., be-
cause the cold of the night con-
denses it and is on the first few
inches above the soil in its most solid
form, but as the sun rises it warns and
expands and ascends to a point high
enough to be breathed and being taken
into the lungs with the air and swal.
lSwed with the saliva into the stomach,
all weak and empty as it IS, it is g-eedily
drunk in, thrown Immediately into the
circulation OF the blood and carried di.
rectly to every part of the body, de-
posting its poisonous influences at the
very fountain head of life.
If early breakfast was taken in re.
gions where chills and fever and ague
prevail and IL, in addition, a brisk fire
were kindled in the family room for the
hours including sunset and sunrise.
these troublesome maladies would di.
minish in any one year not tenfold but
thousandfold, because the heat of the
fire would rarely the miasmatic air in.

Father f. 4. Litz, of Baltimore. pur-
chased the hotel property, containing
1917 acres of land, bordering upon the
South Shrewsbury river. The hotel
contains 1S7 sleeping rooms. The price
paid for the property was $4,000. In
the last six months upward of $4,000
have been expended, says the New York
Tribune, the entire building having been
overhauled. The large dining-room,
with seating capacity of 700, is now

GET WELL AND STAY WELL.
GET RID OF WHAT MAKES YOU SICK
AND STAY RID OFT.

1t is so simple to be well that we wonder
why there are so many sick people.
Come to think about it. it must be because
they don't know what's made them sick.
If they knew that, they could prevent it,
and when they are sick, in some eases cure
themselves. But. SO long as we don't take
more care of our health, we shall always be
more or less sick.
The simple rules of health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food, scour
out your stomach.
This last means: Don't tolerate 1ndlges-
ton. Cure it with Shaker Digestive Cordial
A stomach full of undigested, fermented,
putrid food is the unhealthiest thing you can
think Of
Half our diseases and troubles come from
the poisons of undigested food More than
half of them could be cured with Shaker
Digestive Cordial
More than half, because often When we
think we are sick we are only weak, and a
course of nourishing food digested without
effort by the stomach with the aid of Shak-
Ell Digestive Cordial) would reinvlgorate the
whole system and make US WELL
A ten cent trial bottle will prove it. At
