THE OAMDLINO MANIA.
Tlioro nro lew vices that indict as much
suffering to Innocent pcoplo as the gambling
lunula, and many wives and children of
Shenandoah am fully attest tho truth of this
statement. Franco has taken a step in thin
direction that is likely to attract a groat deal
of attention from other nations. It is tho
legal declaration of gambling ns n vice as
destructive of society, in its fundamental
relation to tho home, as tho supremo vice of
conjugal infidelity, that alono constitutes
around for absolute divorce. That Is to say,
under thu latest judgment of a t'.irislau court
a continued gambler is held to havo lost his
marital rights, tho custody of tho children
nd tholr property going to the mother of the
habitual gambler.
Upon a casual glance this may appear ns
startling, nnil a depatture in thu line of easy
divorco, hut upon serious rallectiou It will ho
seen that It is inevitable, Hooncr or later, hi
this country. Alan 0 all causes for dissolv
ing marriages, habitual gambling ought to
como first, and the reasons therefor aro easily
stated,
Kvcn habitual drunkenness inflicts no such
suffering on tho hninc ns the gambling mania.
Tho alcoholic, opium and other tosic vices
aro nil curablo, and the devastation they
work is circumscribed. Tho habitual
gambler isnu incurable, and thero is no limit
to thojnjury lie may do to those who aro
dependent on him. lie is us certainly tho
victim of mania ns the imretic patient, and
yet ho is not uineuablo to hospital tiuatmeiit.
The craving for clianco advantage is Ineradi
cablo,hocauso no moral harrier will withstand
it, once it is firmly established by habit. The
habitual gambler's household is a monument
of woo. The habitual gambler's wife, if any
women who is not wronged in the extreme
relation recognized by our courts, is entit'cd
to a dissolution of the luauiagc tie.

wholly new, hut the lato developments aro
interesting as shon 1 ng thopiiciilo character

BUYING FOR CHRISTMAS.
Nearly everybody is thinking or talking
about Jhristmas, winch is only it few weeks
ahead of us. The shuttering of public con
fidence prior to tho olc lion of last month has
not yet entirely disappeared. A great many
of those who Usually purchase their holiday
wares In November and early in December
nro beginning to feel that they can now safely I
venture li Invest, that the country issafo I

Value; tliati-, that they aro worth an

partial restoration of confidence is having its

buyers aro on the qui vivo, and tho estab
lishments in which such goods aio on sale
are crowded witli oagur seekers for appro

Merchants who have been testiug tho value

Solicitor l'omcroy stated that tho Flynn
case was still pending. Mr. Mcduiro arose to

said he understood tho cao had been post
poned upon tho Ilorough Solicitor's applica
tion. Mr. l'omcroy nnsw ered that a meeting

A PEOPLE OF FEW WORDS.
"Let your speech ho yon, yen, and nay,
nay," says the Hood Hook, "for whosoever
is more than these comcth of evil." Tho
Shakers ubido by tlio spirit of this rule.
Their words nre few, simple, sincere and
direct. Tiioy wasio 110 energy In idle talk;
they use it in thinking and doing. Aud
whatever they do they do with their might.
Thoy aro content with nothing short of tho
cssenco nod principle of the tilings they
investigate. They tako pains nud aro
patient. And thus the doors of many strange
tiuths open to them. In this way they dis
covered w hat may almost ho Killed the unity
of disease. A vcncmhle Shaker says of It!
"It is said that ono man's moat is another
man's poison. That is but half tho truth,
Any mau's moat is any mau's poison, under
certain conditions. If the grain novcr got
further than tho hoppor wo should never
have bread ; and if bread never got further
than tho stomach wo should never have
strength. When tho stomach is torpid, help
less and inflamed tho food lies in it and rots.
Tills fermentation produces poison which
may, and ofton doos, disordor overy othor
organ and function of tho body. This is in
digestion or dyspepsia, with many symptoms
and disguises. Curo it and you euro nine
tenths of your complaints." Tiieso words
wero muttered many years ogo. Since then
they havo found a remedy, now known as
the Shaker Digustivo Cordial. It is made
from medicinal plants cultivated hy them.
It is n food and digests othor foods. Taken
wlillo eating it rests tho stomach and nour
ishes tlio system. Tho pain aud distresses of
dyspepsia disappear before it. It prevents
fermentation and soon restores full power to
tho digestion. It succeeds in tho worst cases.
It is worthy tho namo of tho pcoplo whose
namn it bears. Any druggist will sell you a
trial bottlo for ten cents.
