Jacobins. These are among the easiest
to raise and possess, withal, so many
points of beauty and of interest that
one would not go astray were he to
choose either, or both, varieties, for two
different classes of pigeons can be kept
in the same loft without any mixing OF
the varieties, but more satisfactory re-
suits will be obtained if only one
variety is chosen, at least in the begin
ming.
The fans are so called because of the
enormous spread of their tails which
look for all the world like the tails of
turkey cocks when in the midst of
their most pompous strutting. No
more attractive sight could we'll be
imagined than collection of white
fantails wheeling through the air and
alighting on the green turf, with heads
drawn back over their bodies, their
tails spread to their fullest extent, and
uttering the soft cooling notes of which
which only pigeons are capable. With
the fans, as with almost all other
varieties, there are numerous subdivi-
sions differing in color alone, but the
white and yellow colors are most COM
monty to be seen. When, however, one
leaves the white color he can hardly
expect his birds to have perfect uni
formity of color in their plumage, as
some will be of a lighter shade than
others, or some other point of color diff
ference may be presented. The white
fans, therefore, being so beautiful in
themselves, and breeding SO true to
color, are to my mind preferable as a
choice for a beginner.
The Jacobins have an even more GU
rious characteristic as to featherina
than the fantails. The feathers of the
neck are long and part in more o,
less distinct line around the throat, one
part turning upward and forming 9

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being we'll informed, you, will not

Leochcs as weather Prophets.

Many country people in Italy, says a
traveller, fortell the weather by means
of leech in an open-mouthed bottle
partly filled with water. The water
must be changed once week, and a
spoonful of blood poured in it about as
often. When the weather is good the
leech will remain coiled up at the bot
tom of the bottle; whenever rain is
near at hand it will creep up to the top
and stay there until the weather is
settled again. If wind is imminent it
will be very restless and dart about in
the water as though in pain, while be-
fore a thunderstorm it will appear to
be in convulsions. 1t is So generally
trusted that at haying time and other
seasons when fine weather Is import
ant the leech is one of the most useful
members of the household. IN. Y.

"A young lawyer talked four hours
to an Indiana jury, who felt like lynch
ing him. His opponent, a grizzled old
professional, arose, looked sweetly at
the Judge, and said: "Your honor, l
will follow the example of my young
friend who has just finished, and sub
init the case without argument. Then
he sat down, and the silence was large
and oppressive.

Farming Out of Railroad Damage Suits.
A new enterprise of some account is
looming up. 1t is the farming out of
railroad damage suits. Three years
ago the officers of one of the trunk
lines asked firm of lawyers what sum
they would take to defend the road in
all suits arising from death, accident
and destruction of property and pay
the damage in case of loss. The Jaw.
yers named figure and have since re-
lievcd the officers of all anxiety and,
virtually, of responsibility. Their un.
dertaking, like insurance, is somewhat
speculative, but they have killed so
many suits in the courts and have :om
promised on such advantageous terms
in other cases that they have made n
large profit. Other roads have followed
suit within IL year or SO. and now scv.
eral firms of lawyers are devoting them
selves to this work. A road that hardly
includes three hundred miles of track
is understood topay siXty-five thou sand
dollars a year as an insurance against
damage suits.-N. Y. Sun.

How CamphOr is Made.

Camphor is the result of evaporoting
as essential oil found in two different
trees, the cinnamomum camphora,
which grows in China and Japan, and
the dipterocarpus camphora, of Suma-
ira and Borneo; from these two trees
it is obtained in very different q
ners. In the cinnamomum it exists in
root and branch, stems and leaves,
which are chopped small and put into
earthern vessels, which are heated;
these vessels are covered with hoods
and rice straw is placed il them; the
eamphor is volatilized and rises it
condenses on the straw, from which
1t is afterward cleared. In the Dip
t~erooarpus it is found in the trunk in
a solid form, and it is obtained by cut
ting the tree down and splitting it
open it is found in pieces from one to
two feet long and about as thick a. o
mans arm. A moderate sized SreewiA
yield about ten pounds of csmphor, q
larger one about twice that quantity.
This kind is more highly esteemed than
the other, so that in Japan two hun
drei pounds of native camphor are
valued ct one pound Of the Bornean,-
