LIVER CLoGGING.
WHEN YOUR STOMACH CLOGS YOUR
LIVER SEE TO YOUR DIGESTION.

Not one person in a thousand knows
that the cause of biliousness Is the clog
ging of the liver by the poisons of indi-
Sestion. Nor that the proper cure for il
is tonic to aid the stomach. But mod
ern medicine declares the truth of it. And
the Shakers have proved 1t by the won
derful success of their Shaker Digestive
Cordial
One of the most important uses of the
liver is to arrest and destroy all poisons
which try to find their way into the
blood. When it's clogged 1t can't do this.
Undigcsted food fermcnts and putrctcs
in the stomach. and the poisons of putre-
faction clog and paralyze the liver, after
which they find 'tneir way into the blood.
Here is the true explanation Of all the
distressing disorders and complications
caused by Indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is the only
tonic cordial which aids the stomach in Il
natural way to digest its food. BY this
means. it cures Indigestion, restores the
liver. and frees the body from poison and
disease.
Headache, dizziness, neuralgia, mental
depression. weakness. bad taste, fever,
tlatulencc, constipation. loss of appetite,
anacmia. rheumatism. and many other
disorders are relieved and cured by
Shaker Digestive Cordial.

When Balloons Were Rare.

Odd as it may seem, Sept. Is also
witnessed the first balloon ascension
from the soil of England. but this hap
pened forty-six years before the intro
ductiOn of the railway. Thus you see
that the problem of aerial navigation
attracted the worlds attention long
before steam locomotion overland was
seriously thought of. The balloon was
a French invention, and as England
was at war with the French at that
time the Britishers were slow to put
faith in the new contrivance. Finally,
on the 18th of September, 1884, Vincent
Lunardi. a Neapolitan, assembled from
the artillery ground, London, in the
presence Of a vast crowd. The bal
loonist descended in neighboring
parish. and so frightened some labor
ers in a field that nothing would in
duce thers srs approach the aeronaut

One of Natures Eeu6s.

The cockroach has one enemy that
pursues him with more malevolencs
than does the cleanly housewife. That
is the spider And not only is this
hatred more deep rooted, it is more
deadly. All things considered, the
cOckroach shows little respect for the
human race. He knows that although
he is small, he is chock-full of inven-
tive genius, and he laUghingly scorns
the futile attempts of men and women
to circumvent and destroy him. So
long has he been battling for life
against paris green, fly pa per, hot wat
er and wire cages that he has learned
to saunter through green lanes Of poi
son and wade rivers Of glue without
SO much as sOiling his toes. and when
it comes to the scalding bath he swims
lightly out and wriggles his whiskers
in derision at his would-be slayers.
But he dares not treat the spider with
such disdain. In fact, he doesn't have
chance. for the spider outdoes even
the cOckrOach in cunning, and nabs
him without the least ceremony. Still,
it would hardly be advisable to recon-
mend raising d crop of spiders as a
sure preventive of cockroaches. for in
most peoples minds the eXterminator
is more Objectionable than his victim.

model has two fiounces. which open in

ded with rough amethysts. The long
pointed collar of Irish crochet is square

with many different kinds of jackets.
The zouave model is very short and
rounded at all tie edges The Etons
have usually curved fronts. with plain
revers, and are cut straight across the
back and fitted very snugly. What is
known as the mess" Jackets have little
points in the back, and are long enough
to hide the belt.

Paris Millinery.

The very latest information from
Paris concerning millinery is most re-
freshing. Hats, toques and bOnnets are
to be less elaborate, and after this past
season of grotesque and elaborate head
coverings the change will be most well
come. The chief feature of the new
hats will be extremely long ostrich
plumes and equally long quilts. Jet
will also be used in profusion in the
form of large ball pins, which will dec
crate all of the latest creations. Large
medium and small hats will be in Or
der. All hats, either large or small, for
dress occasions will be composed chief
ly of velvet. Most of the models, re-
CARELESS of size, will be worn set well
back on the head. There is, however.
a broad tOque that is placed over the
forehead. A three-cornered hat will
be worn which is constructed Of both
cloth and felt. One recently imported,
of brown felt, has a bow under the
brim on the left side of orange velvet
crate the crown, through which is
pierced a very long black quill. Picture
hats are little trimmed. One or per-
haps two long ostrich plumes and
smart jet ornaments are their only en-
bellishment. Later in the season fur
will be extensively used to edge many
of the latest fancies in millinery. For
outing and stormy weather the soft
felt fedora hats in gray, black and
brown will be fashionable.

Learning to Measure Heat.

You all know what the Fahrenheit
thermometer is, no doubt, and pretty
soon you will be looking at the one
that hangs outside the front door TO
find out how cold the weather is and
if there is danger of frosting your nose
if you go skating. Prior to the seven
teenth century people had TO trust TO
their feelings entirely to ascertain the
temperature of the weather, or of any
thing else, for that matter. But in
1920 Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit invent
ed the mercury thermometer, and one
that is in common use today. Other
eXperimenters had indifferently sue
ceeded in making instruments that
would gauge differences in tempera-
ture. These had been tubes filled with
oil. spirits of wine or other substances
and were uncertain. Fahrenheit was
zig. where he made failure as a mer-
chant He then turned his attention
to mechanics and finally invented the
thermometer that bears his name. and
which soon became popular through
out the civilized world He removed
to Amsterdam. Holland, then a great
shipping center The inventor was
such quiet, unassuming man that lit
tie is known about him, the date of his
death even being a disputed question.
1t is generally believed, however. that
he died Sept 16, 1886.

The AUX That Laid the Golden Egg.

When hens go on a strike during the
cold weather and the grocer charges
you 80 cents for a dozen of eggs you
are pretty apt to grumble a little and
say: 'Oh, dear, we can't eat very
many eggs if they keep up this high.
But if 21A cents seems like a pretty
high price for an egg what would you
say to paying $40 for one? You would
probably do a good deal o. talking.
but the chances are that there would
be but very little buying. Yet a certain
Mr. Field paid that price and thought
he was getting a bargain.
This egg was sold at Stevens auc-
ton rooms, London. The opening bid
was about $780,. 80, reckoning in dollars
and cents, or 80 guineas, English
money. The bidding was kept up
pretty lively for some time, but when
Mr.. Field said, I'll give SSi0"-or its
equivalent in pounds and shillings-
the offer staggered his competitors, and
as no one considered it a paying in
vestment to give more than that for
an egg it was sold to him.
Don't hink for a minute that this
precious egg was laid by a common
barnyard hen to subserve the common
place end of omelette and custards.
Oh, no. The great aux was response
BILE for it, and the great ak, which was
an aristOcratic sort of bird Of the
aquatic species, being the northern
branch of the penguin family, didn't
condescend to lay eggs for culinary
purposes. When the great aux laid
an egg it was an event. She left the
water and burrowed deep holes in the
sand for her nest and deposited an
egg the size of a swans. There are
very few of these eggs owned by nat
uralists and museums, comparatively
speaking, sixty being the number so
far as known, and there is little chance
of more being secured, as the great aux
is supposed to be eXtinct.-Chicago

The First Railway.

We are so accuS 'Omed to steam rail
ways that it is hard for us to realize
that fifty years ago they were novel
ties. These railways of the early years
of the century were so primitive that
We would hardly condescend to ride in
their cars today. England has the
distinction Of having first put into sue
cessful operation a railway system
comprehending steam locomotion. On
the 18th of September, 1880, the Liver
pool and Manchester railway was open
ed with imposing ceremonies. The
trial trip of eight trains composing the
dedication procession inauguarated
steam railway locomotion as a practi-
cal business method of getting from
place to place. Each one of the eight
trains excepting the first consisted of
a locomotive and four passenger cars.
The first train was made up of one en-
CINE and an elegantly equipped car,
and it carried the famous statesman.
Sir Robert Peel. Each one of the other
coaches carried twenty persons, but
crowded in much the same manner
carriages today. The procession of
trains ran from Liverpool to Manches
ter. 1t is a remarkable coincidence
that at this first great trial of steam
railway should have occurred the first
railway accident which ended fatally
Mr. Huskisson, prominent English
statesman, became frustrated at the ap-
proach of one of the locomotives while
the trains were waiting to permit the
engines to take in water. In his con-
fusion he got in front of the locomo-
tive and his leg was run over at the
thigh. The unfortunate gentleman
died before night. Among the prom
inent guests at the ceremonies attend
ing the road was the greatest of Eng
lish generals, the duke of Wellington.
The builder of the locomotives was
Robert Stephenson. Read the story of

Eighteen hundred an two years ago
tomorrow Domitian, one Of the worst

vited a host of his supposed friends
and courtiers. AS each guest entered
the banquet hall he noticed that Il
was draped in black, and that funeral
torches were blazing. Led to his seat.
he discovered that back of him stood
a coffin bearing his own name and the
date of his death, which was that day.

The northern aurora, how a strange
bloom would settle on her somewhat
