we i've IN country OF WHICH the pfln-
cipal scourge is stomach-t trouble.
1t is more widespread than any other
disease, and, very nearly, more dangerous.
One thing that makes it so dangerous is
that it is so little understood.
If it were better understood, it would
be more feared, more easily cured, less
universal than it is now.
So, those who wish to be cured, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it goes
to the root of the trouble as no other
medicine does. The pure harmless, cura-
tive herbs and plants, of which it is com
posed, are what render it so certain and, at
the same time, so gentle a cure.
1t helps and strengthens the stomach,
purifies and tones up the system.

! Wednesday witnessed the first meeting
since the war of the surviving members
of Company H, Third New Jersey Volun-
teers. This company was organized at
Mount Holly in May, 1861. William E.
Bryan was the captain. The company's
meetings before they went to the seat of
war, while in Mount Holly, were held in
room in the rear of the Arcade hotel,
and the reunion was held at that hotel.
/ Wednesday was the anniversary of the
battle of Fredericksburg, in which contest
the Third regiment was actively engaged.
| When the company left Mount Holly it
was composed of 101 men. To-day there
ARE but Is survivors who are positively
known to be living. They are as follows:
Gavin Nelson, George Hargrave, Ger
mantown; E. A. Dold, Olney, Pa; Will
lam Schepple, Jacob Yeager, Philadel-
phia; Philip Karg, Hainesport; Jacob
Inman, Pemberton; William Budd, Browns
Mills; A. w. Dougherty, Brooklyn; John
w. Bodine, Camden; James Wiseman,
Thomas Randall, Mount Holly; William
Fryburg, Philadelphia; Samuel Thomp-
son, Palmyra; Michael E. Deviney, Will
JAMESTOWN, N. j. The last three were alb
sent.
The survivors met at the railroad station
at II o'clock. From there they visited
places of interest in the town. At the
Brotherhood cemetery are the remains of
Thomas Collins and Robert F. Coleman;
in the Baptist burying ground John Franz
is inferred, and in the Mount Holly Gem
etery is the grave of Captain Bryan.
There were few dry eyes as the old vet
Grams stood by the last resting places of
the comrades who shared the fortunes of
war with them
From the cemetery the soldiers went to
the site of the old railroad station and
recalled the scenes at that place over a
quarter of century ago, when they took
the train for Trenton to be mustered into
service.
Arriving at the hotel the survivors went
into session for the purpose of forming a
permant organization. John W. Bodine
was elected president and Gavin Nelson
was made secretary. 1t was decided to
hold reunion each year as long as any Of
the old soldiers were living.
At two o'clock the veterans and two in
vited guests sat down to dinner prepared
by Mr.. Butterworth in his usual good
style. The menus were printed on card
especially appropriate, with an eagle, a
shield and flag in colors. The bill of
fare was as follows:

The Juicy oyster Pie.

Oyster pie may be baked in large
pudding dish or in individual patties,
as desired; if in large dish that holds
three pints, line the sides of the dish
with puff paste or rich crust and put
in quart of oysters, layer by layer,
seasoning each one with teaspoonful
of salt, half teaspoonful of pepper and
an even tablespoonful of butter cut
in bits. Cover with crust, leaving an
opening in the center, and bake. In the
meantime make a good smooth white
sauce by melting one tablespoonful of
butter in a small frying pan, adding to
it tablespoonful of -four, cooking I'M
til it bubbles, then adding the strained
oyster liquor and half cup Of water.
Cook until it thickens, then add little
white pepper and cup of cream or
milk. When the pie is nearly done,
raise the crust from the side or insert a
funnel in the center, vent and pour in
as much of the same as the pie will
hold. Return to the oven and bake 10
or is minutes longer and serve.

Hand Painted Dresses.

Printed muslins and silks will not do
this year. They must be hand painted,
and very lovely and unusual designs are
the result Let not the unskilled anna
teur imagine that she is equal to the
task of decorating gown or parasol,
for nothing could be more unlovely than
awkward arrangement or crude color
ing. All sorts Of flowers are used-lilies,
pansies, peoples, roses, tulips and daft
fodils-in wreaths and borders and scat
tered over the goods. One can choose
ones favorite flower and have the de-
sign made to order, and it is not liable
to be duplicated.
The gown should be cut first and the
pattern made afterward, and SO adapted
to the style in which the dress is to be
made. Parasol and fan are designed to
accompany the gown. Hand painting is
especially adapted to the decoration of
parasols, and in this form will perhaps
be more generally used, for unless one
is able to do the painting oneself it is an
expensive luxury. New York Herald.

To sandbag a Draft.

Sand bags furnish the most effectual
and easily applied remedy against drafts
from windows and under doors. There
is no special art in making them. Rags
made like umbrella covers, as long as
the doors or windows are wide, of can
vas or cloth of any kind. are filed with
sand. The larger they are the better,
though there is no necessity of making
them very large. An inch or two inches
in diameter is about the proper size
for windows, though they can be made
larger for doors. An extra size will
prove more efectual for outside doors.
The bag should not be more than two
thirds filed with sand, for the limper it
is the more readily it will conform to
the purposes for which it is used.

sunbonnets the Rage.

Sunbonnets of every description are
seen in the shops and exchanges, and
there is no doubt that they are to be
the rage. The average outdoor girl
must possess at least half dozen of
these creations. In the country they are
indispensable. Sometimes she fashions
them herself. but this is no small task,
and requires time and taste and skill.
Nothing could be more becoming and
picturesque than some of the lovely
combinations of muslin, lace and ribbon
which are already shown. They are in
plain colors or fowered in bright OF
pale colors. to suit. every taste. Some
are soft and dropping, and others are

the early centuries. These comforts
succeeding centuries have not lost sight
of, and from the boxlike arrangement,
with raised sides, filed with sacks of
straw, the comfortable beds fitted with
springs, mattresses, pillows, sheets,
blankets and quilts have been evolved
and have become necessity to man
kind, while the luxury of artistic dra-
peries, which in many instances can be
made and hung at trifing expense,
especially if time must not be taken in
to account, are within the means of
many, and the transformation of the

Tallahassee. Fla, March 24-There is
strong probability that the legislature,
which convenes week after next. will en-

The legislature of 1897 created the pres
