After meals you should have simply a feel
ing of comfort and satisfaction. You should
not feel any special indications that digestion
is going on. If you do. you have Indigestion
which means not digestion. This may be the
beginning of SO many dangerous diseases, that
it is best to take it in hand at once and treat it
with Shaker Digestive Cordial. For you know
that Indigestion makes poison, which causes
pain and sickness. And that Shaker Digestive
Cordial helps digestion and cures indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial does this by provid-
ing the digestive materials in which the sick
stomach is wanting. 1t also tones up and
strengthens the digestive organs and makes
them perfectly healthy, This is the rationale
of its method of cure, as the doctors would
say. Sold by druggists, price 10 cents to
81. 90 per bottle.

Better Than y Sleeping Draft.

The soul of Brooklyn electrician
has been sorely tried by the nocturnal
song Of cats. Night after night his we'll
earned rest would be broken by the solos,
duets and choruses which were given by
the feline congregation in his back yard.
One night. while he was lying awake
vowiug deep and summary vengeance on
his tormentors, an inspiration came to
him. BE had heard that the cat, like tho
skylark, does not sing on the ground. It
must climb fence to ind inspiration
Tor the outpourings of its musical soul.
The electricians s back yard is surround.
ed by high fence, which would invari.
ably be studded with dim silhouettes far
into the night, but they are there no
longer. The overwrought sufferer con.
ceived the idea Of running wire through
which he could send q powerful current
around the2top Of the fence, the switch
bar being close to his hand He says the
sweetest moment Of his life was whep
the first cathumped its back against the
wire. He 7joyously pressed tho button.
There was ragged, alternating current
kind Of howl and an instantaneous
whisking of, q furry mass, aud all was
still. Within week not cat would
come within ten rods of that fence, and
the ingenious Brooklynite now sleeps
peacefully y.-Exchange.

introdhcsd q duplicate Of the famousk
Anderson railroad land tax measure.
which some people fear may be knocked
ont by the unseating Of Senator Frank
Day, whose deciding vote carried that
famous and popular measure through
the senate two years ago. The fusion
lists are credited with the intention of
using this move in the next campaign.
for this Republican legislature viii
very probably refuse to re.enact the
Anderson law, as such action would be
directly antagonistic to the senate's
action in unseating Day. Then if the
Anderson law is knocked out the fu-
sionists will point to their record now.
Senator Keller, the famous rosebud

Senator Keller was given almost
enough votes to carry the bill, his COL

Everyone of the numerous temperance
organizations in the state is working
for this bill. a unanimity never before
known on such legislation. The opno.
sition in the legislature is strong but
this bill stands well with the general
run Of legislators and will be promin-
emily before the legislature for some

and throughout the state, and whatever
the outcome here this session the SUBJ

Fad and Tip.


A recently published article on ehp
derivation Of the word "fad" speaks q
It a. being of Welsh origin, giving
"fedd" as the root word. A correspond
ent writes on the subject: 1.-THE wora
fad 10 q manufactured word. not given
by Worcester. It has been in use only Z
abort time, comparatively, and while IL
may be derived from the Welsh it -
moro probable that it is made from -
initial letters Of the words for day.
The word tip originated, it is said, n
that way. The story goes that in an old
time Rglish tavern q receptacle Ter
small coin was placed in q conspicuous
place over which appeared the legend
TO insure promptness. Whatever WIS
placed in the box was given to the servs
ants Other taverns followed the exam
pie, and soon the three words were writ
ten IT. I. p, everybody knowing what
they indicated. Then the punctuation
marks were dropped, and the word tip
was born. Fad and tip are Of the

GRAND SPRING OPENING


At the Woman's Exchange Yesterday
of tho Occasion.
Yesterday marked the grand spring
opening and Easter sale at the Wo-
mems Exchange at it's new quarters
on Orange street. The occasion was
most successfully observed. All day the
pretty rooms We're thronged, and the
affair took on the nature of a social
function.
Beginning early in the morning,
steady stream of buyers and seekers
of the latest and daintiest of Easter
novelties, embroideries and fancy work
visited the attractive headquarters.
The exhibit was most artistically ar
ranged, both for the advantageous dis
play of goods and for the harmony of
color effects, and the result was highly
appreciated by the hundreds of female
visitors. The richest offerings in Eas-
ter souvenirs were temptingly display
ed in 8 diversity of choice. Inviting at
tention were the show windows filled
with handiwork of rare design and
workmanship.
A feature of the opening are the trav-
cling accessories, such as bags for
shoes and laundry. These are well
made, and are pretty as well as SER
viceable.
One of the richest of exhibits is
case filled with drawn work, while the
table devoted to articles for toilet and
dressing cases was one of the chief
points of interest. On the whole, the
array Of work is most charming, and a
hof mis- ho haS Of 1c
It would be difficult to find. Apart
from the mental entertainment, there
was much done for the support of the
physical wants of the visitors. The
lunch room, which is always the bright
est and cosiest of places, was especially
attractive and also well patronized. A
light luncheon Of tea, coffee, boullion,
chocolate, biscuit and cakes was served
from IL until H. and from IL until a
more substantial luncheon of mock
bisque soup, chicken pie, custards, ETC.,
was served.
The committee receiving yesterday
was composed of Mrs. Henry F. Eng
fish, Miss Fanny Bowers Mrs. William
IT, Moseley, Miss Bartlett and Miss
Phipps.
The Women's Exchange ends it's first
season in the new quarters with this
opening. The sales as compared with
chose of last year have been far in adj
vance. In addition to the lunch room
Ere counters and cases filled with deli
eious homemade cakes, pies and the
best of candies. The lunch room, which
has only been in existence since the
opening of the new exchange, is in a
most fourishing condition.
Assisting in receiving yesterday were
Miss Bartlett, Miss Bailey, Miss M.
Def. Skinner, Mrs. w. FL. Moseley,
Miss English, Mrs. B. Fl. Cheney, Mrs
W. j. Atwater, Miss Griffing, Mrs Her.
