For more than a hundred years the Shakers have been studying the reroe deial properties of plants. They have made many discoveries, but their gratest achievement was made last year. It is a cordial that contains already digested food and is a digester of food.

Miss Lizsie Sheets, aged SO, who is slowly dying near Rochester, Ind., has been a hermit for the last 40 years, ow ing to a deformity at birth which was characteristic of her brothers and sis ters. All the children were covered over all parts of their bodies with scales. Their necks and hands were more thickly covered than the other portions of their bodies. The scales were comparatively soft and of a deli cate flesh color. As the children grew np the scales on the exposed parts of 'the bodies became hard and of a darker hue. Lizzie is the last member of the family living. When 10 years of age she be came so sensitive concerning her condi tion that she refused to be seen by any one, and she has since lived a secluded life. She has done all the farm work j herself.

The president aud Secretary Olney do not expect the reply of the British gov ernment to this country's representa tions concerning the Venetuelan boun dary dispute and the Monroe doctrine in time to admit of its treatment in the president's annual message to congress. It is understood the British cabinet is now at work upon the reply, but the assembling of congress is so near that it is not likely to be received before the first day of the session. When it comes it will be made the subject of a special message. There are good reasons for the belief that Premier Salisbury's re ply will be of a conciliatory nature, either submitting the boundary dispute to arbitration and thus recognizing the applicability of tbe Monroe doctrine, or preparing I lie way for such action later. So far as Great Britain's reported ulti matum to Venezuela is concerned. Sec retary Olney believes no ultimatum wa sent. Knights of the Maccabees. The state commander writes us from Lincoln Neb., as follows: "After try ing other medicines for what seemed to be a very obstinate cough in our two children wo tried Dr. King's New Discovery and at the end of two days the cough entirely left them.

Secretary of State Headley created a small panic in the courtroom at George town, Ky., by attempting to stab At torney John Brand. Tho men were on opposite sides of a case on trial and quarreled.

The lowest bid from Pacific Coast firms for constructing a lightship for use off Flattery Rocks, Wash., was made by J. F. Stephen of Portland for $69,000. An Eastern firm made a bid of $68,000, but the cost of bringing the vessel around Cape Horn will probably result in the contract being awarded to Stephen.
