Dig down to the cause of yours sick ness, if you want to get well and stay well. Most likely it's indiges- tion. The irritating poisons of fer menting. putrid food, left in the stomach by indigestion, cause head ache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizzi- ness, stomachache, nausea, irritabil- ity, and all the other well-known symptoms of indigestion.
 They also cause many pains and disorders which are often laid to oth- CT causes and hence are not easily cured. But as soon as the poisons are removed, all these symptoms and disorders disappear, because there IS nothing Jeff to cause them, Nothing succeeds in this like Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it prevents the un- digested food from fermenting in the stomach and helps the stomach to digest its food.

THE CRAB IN WINTER.

DaRys Itself IN tAell1A for The SeasOA
The Crabs ut the A01AR11M.
In summer men selling crabs in Full
ton market handle them.with a curious
sort of wooden tongs,. that work like
sugar tongs; but they don't need them
in winter, because then the crab. numb
with cold, doesn't bite, says the New
York Sun. In nature the crab buries
itself in the mud or sand an the winter
and stays there thorough the season,
covered up all but it's eyes, and posi-
bly, very little OF its body. 1t gets
nc food there except such as may come
to it, its claws are. almost, If not en-
tire1J,s covered, tup in the mud; but it
couldn't use them then If they were
mot. The crab in winter, however, is
fatter than in SUMMER. Though it NAV
take little OF no food, it dbes not wear
itself away by exercise.
The crab is in the market the wear
round. 1t is raked up out of the mud
in winter. 1t may then be handled
freely in the colder weather of winter,
but dropped onto boat where it is pro-
tected from the wind, and with the sun
shining on it, the crab may come back
to Life and its pincer claws again be-
come endowed with power.
The crabs at the aquarium, that dance
around SO actively in the summer, are
now almost as motionless as wooden
crabs would be; they have no mud to
bury themselves init would scarcely
be practicable to supply them with
mud, for the reason that it would clog
up THE valves of a tank, to say moth
ing of its cloudiHg the water-but they
have practically suspended active life
for the winter, and later, when the wa
ter gets a little colder than it is now,
they will become more rigid and mo-
tfonless.' Even now they will not bite.

With the announcement Of the gold
cique's plan Of monetary reform,
as expressed in the report of the self
appointed monetary commission,
comes stirring words from both Re-
publican and Democratic bimetal-
lists. .. .s.....r
Former Senator Joe Blackburn e.
pressed the sentiments Of the Demo
Gratis when he asserted that the great
question before the people is not that
of tariff nor Of social problems, but
that of the currency. ...
Emphasizing this proposition,
Blackburn says: @fhe mass of Amer
lean peoply cannot be turned from
their purpose. They are convinced
that the ills that aifiict this ration
cannot be cured by the single gold
standard. and they have made up
their minds to try the remedy that SO
many millions Of our countrymen up
held in last years campaign. .."
"That they will succeed next time
have no doubt. The majority sem
timent has always ruled this country,
and it always will. If the coinage of
silver dollars is a fallacious idea,
which, if carried out, will lead to dis
aster, which 1 deny, why not settle
the matter once for all by a trial?
This is what is gong to be done in
$780,"
Blackburn's words will fluid a re-
sponsive echo, not only in the
hearts Of the 6,5OO,OOC men who voted
for William j. Bryan at the last pres
ideutial election, but also in the
hearts of lnnumera3le Republicans
who were deceived by the false prom
ises and the hypocutlcal pretenses Of
the spellbinders.
Silver Republicans are becoming
alive to the situation and their voices
are raised in protest. Wolcott and
Chandler have spoken, and Charles
E. Towne dissects the monetary COM
missions report with a keen-edged
scalpel. '''...'...
Referring to this matter, he says:
"But we who are fighting for the
cause of bimetallism, in the interest
of the producers and the masses of
our citizenship. are much gratified at
the appearance OF this report. 1t aids
in clearing the deck for action. 1t
strips off more Of the cowardly dis
guise in which the gold standard has
80 long masquerade and in which it
has 30 vilely deceived the people. 1t
assists in more shapes defining the
great Issue before the country"
Thus the forces OF bimetallism re.
epond to the assaults of the enemy.
The battle is to be in the open, and
shorn of the protection of an ambus-
cade the enemy will be defeated

Mistake OF the ClerEyman's, Hut
~ 100000 Came with 1t.
A Godsend Lufkin, of Tilden, Me-,
has the distinction of owning the queer
est name in Maine, says the New YORK
Sun. He got it through mistake of the
Clergyman who christened him.
Godsend's, father, old Peleg Lufl1in,
owned about all the wild land in the
town. When he died. he left his prop
erty to his four boys in trust, the
whole of it to go to the first grandson
who should come into the. world. At
that time none of the boys were mar
ried, but they at once remedied this
fault, every one taking wife inside of
year from the time the will of their
father was made. Six years after his
wedding the wife of George Lufl1in pre-
scented to him a son, who was entitled
to the great estate under the terms of
the will. 1t was agreed that the boys
mother should bestow the, name, but
she neglected to tell the minister about
it before the party hadassembled in the
church. Then when the clergyman
asked what name he should bestow the
child's father spoke up and said:
81 think you'd better call him god
send, because he has proved that to my
family"
The words spoken in jest we're taken
in earnest by the clergyman, who pro-
ceeded to formally christen the boy as
"a Godsend Lufkin," name which he
benrs to-day. AS he got nearly 500, 900
worth of property along with his name,
he is trying to stand it.
Production OF Ozone.
The progress in the construction ana
working of ozone generators has late
ly been such that ozone can now be pro-
duced in large quantities continuously.
and the industrial application of ozone
can, therefore, be carried on now at a
relatively low cost and on a large
scale. Impure water can be rendered
wholesome and drinkable by means of
ozone, which in the presence of water
acts as very powerful bactericide.
