TVhit the Mt. Lebanon Shakers
Found—Incident in the His
tory of a Quiet Community.
H
The Mount Lebanon (New
York) Shaken* are a quiet com
munity, secluded from the fret
and worry of the outside world.
They are widely known, how
ever, for their strict honor and
probity in business.
The Shakers believe that na
ture has a remedy for every dis
ease. A few have been found-—
the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by acci
dent Others came to light as
the result of patient experiment
and reseaqfh.
Nervous Dyspepra is a com
paratively new disease, growing
out of the conditions of modem
life. It is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli
cation lies chiefly in the disord
ered and depraved functions of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus:—“If we can in
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre
tive organs to drive out of the
body the poisonous waste mat
ters which remain after thelife
fiving elements of the food
ave been absorbed, we shall
have conn uered Nervous Dys
pepsia and Nervous Exhaust
ion. And they were right
Knowing the infallible power
of Shaker Extract (Seigel's
Syrup) in less complicated
though similar diseases,
they resolved to test it fully
in this. To leave no ground
for doubt they prescribed the
remedy in hundreds of cases
which had been pronounced in
curable—with perfect success
in every instance where their
directions as to living and diet
were scrupulously followed.
Nerve us Dyspepsia and Ex
haustion is a peculiarly Ameri
can disease. To a greater or
less extent half the people of
this country suffer from it—
both sexes and all ages. In no
country in the world are there
so many insane asylums filled
to overflowing, all resulting
from this alarming disease. Its
leading symptoms are these:
Frequent or continual head
ache ; a dull pain at the base
of the brain; bad breath; nau
seous eructations; the rising
of sour and pungent fluids to
the thruat; a sense of oppress
ion ami faintness at the pit of
the stomach; tlatuleuce; wake
fulness and loss of deep; dis
gust with food e\ *n when
weak from the need of it; sticky
or slimy matter on the teeth or
in the mouth, especially on ris
ing in the morning; furred and
coated tongue; dull eyes; cold
hands anil feet; constipation;
dry or rough skin ; inability to
fix the miud on any labor call
ing for continuous attention;
and oppressive and sad lore
bodings and fears.
All this terrible group
Shaker Extract (Seigel’s
Syrup) removes bv its pos
itive, powerful, direct yet
painless and gentle action upon
the functions of digestion and
assimilation. Those elements
of the food that build up and
strengthen the system are sent
upon their mission, while all
waste matters (the ashes of life’s
tire) which unremoved, poison
and kill, are expelled from the
body through the bowels, kid
neys and skin. The weak and
prostrated nerves are quieted,
toned and fed by the purified
blood. As the result, health,
with its enjoyments, blessings
and power, returns to the suf
ferer who had, perhaps, aband
oned all hope of ever seeing
another well day.

THE FIRST LOCOMOT.VS BELL.
TofVJ Ayers* Victory Over the ObiUssIs
Engineer—Fitting in a Cow-Bell.
(New York Sun.]
•Did you know Capfc Ayor-l” said a well
known rail way man to a friend the other day.
•Well, he was famous for two things. Ha
was the conductor on the first through train
on the Erie from tide-water to the great
lakes, and he was the inventor of the bell
rope by whieh brain men signal the engin
eer. He was familiarly known as Poppy.
Trains on the Erie, when Capt. Ayers was
first employed, were few and far between.
Passengers never thought of baying tickets,
but paid farei on the train. In case a pas
senger was obstreperous and refused to pay
up, there was no way of stopping the train
to eject him. and so people were frequently
carried from one station to another without
paying anything for it.
•Poppy Ayers was running a train be
tween Piermont and Turner’s, which was
the western terminus of the road at the
time. The engineer of the train was a big.
burly German, who. like all engineers in
th—M days, regarded himself as the master
of the train, the conductor being simply a
machine to taka (area. One day Poppy had
been bothered more than umal on his train
by stubborn passengers and he got to think
Iing how he could establish communication
between himself and the engineer while the
train was in motion, and an idea struck
him When be got to Turner’s he obtained
, a section of clothes-line long enough to
reach from the engine to the rear of the
I train. He tied a stick of wood to one end
. of the rope and fixed it in the en
gineer’s cab, so that when he ran
! the rope back over the train and
i pulled on it tho stick would be agitated.
Then he explained to the engineer the idea,
and told him whenever he saw the stick
move up and down he must stop the train,
for there would be some one on the train
who ought to be thrown off.
“This innovation was resisted by the engi
neer as an infringement on his rights and
the dignity of his office. It was virtually
placing the train at the order of the con
ductor—a thing that could not for a moment
be tolerated. So when the train started
he removed the stick of wcod that dangled
near his bead and tied the rope fast
Poppy Ayres persisted In tying the wood on
the rope and the engineer persisted in ignor
ing his authority, until one day Poppy,
after ty ing the wood to the rope and bang
ing it in the cab, turned to the engineer and,
taking him by the throat, exclaimed:
• *Now, you pig-headed idiot which will
you do, let that stick alone and stop the
train when I pull the rope, or will you take
the d—deal licking you ever heard tell off
“The engineer weakened and said he’d
mind tho signal, and he did. Shortly after
that Poppy fitted a cow-belt in the cab and
threw out the rtick of wool. Whonover
that cow-bell sounded the train was brought
to a stand in short order, and some passea
:er knew that he must either come down
with hi* fare or get hustled out between sta
tions regard lea of circumstances. At one
t^ofce Poppy Ayres subordinated the en
gineer to the conductor and increased the
revenue of the company.”
Lodgers and Their Virtues.
[Cor. Brooklyn Eagle.]
. A lodging house is an epitome of the
world. All kinds of characters are to be
found in it, who submit with different de
grees of grace to tho evils attendant on be
ing owned by a female ever on the ram
page. The “fair” sox generally make very bad
lodgers. They will not stand the filth and
m position that men would. Tney insist on
;hs windows being cleaned at least twice a
.-ear. They object to go to bed with more
;dan three pins and a needle for bedfellows.
Foreigners, as a rule, aro bad to lodge.
To smoke in be 1; to expectorate and drop
:igar a has ail over the room; to lie on the
ofa with dirty boots are some of the
various accomplishments possessed l>y

wo t clai.i, never pum or jostle. It is the
astern to do so much bowing and hat-lift
ng that ono is obliged to move more slowly
ban ia England to give time for oil this
ourteay.
When a train leaves a platform or a
te imboat a pier, all the lookers-on lift their
tats to the departing i>assenger i, and bow
o them, a compliment returned by tho
revelers. If you address the poorest person
u the street you must lift your hat. A gen
Is man passing a lady on the stairs of a ho
tel must do the same. To entor a shop or a
oauk with one’s bat on is a terrible breach
f good manners. If you enter or leave a
■o(fee-room you must bow to all the occu
■aut;. Passengers on board the little steam

raise their hats to the occupant! of any

A French Custom.
[Atlanta Constitution.]
1 he French custom of taking a cup of
strong coffee and a slice of bread early in
the morning has never found favor in this
country, except among the few who have
tried it. Recently, however a distinguished
physician has advised old people to take
their coffee and a slice of toast before rising
in the morning. Many old people are
-roublod just after a wakening with a slight
tremor, and the exertion of dressing makes
them too faint to eat, All delicate parsons
well find this slight refreshment in the morn
ng, an hour or so before breakfast, of great
benefit It will brighten them up and give
them a feeling of mental and physical elas
ticity that will enable thorn to go through
the day without fatigue. If strong coffee is
Go be used at all, the time for it is early hi
the morning.
Mexico’s Troubles.
[Exchange.]
Mexico has her financial troubles, out her
oondition for years past has been far more
prosperous and peaceful than during any
period of her history. Since 1800 she has
had 115 revolutions. From 1833 to 1861
Jnarex was the only president who served
xit a full term.
