Usually stories regarding the personal

Gently returned to England after q
brief engagement in the East. He left
many friends and admirers in this coun-
try, and if half the stories now told
or him are true he must be one Of the
klndliest Of men. One is related of his
being at an inn at a we'll known Sea-
side resort one evening when a forlorn
travelling "reciter,' of the type as pa,
t~hetically we'll known to England as
10 America, gave a so-called center
talnment' in the drawing room. Like
some OF its sort, it was YEARLY unen

but to gather Il Lentcn harvest of halp

entering, caught 4 glimpse of his down
cast face and empty hat. S%traightwa,
grasping the situation Grossmith sig
nailed him with a gesture to remain
and taking his stand ut the end O
the room, said:
Ladies' and gentlemen, as the mex

Amid the rapturous applaud whicl
followed, he proceeded to pass aroun'
his hat, exactly as his predecessor ha'
done. The situation was appreciated

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 a perfect lax
alive j; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts OF the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance. "a

Paper Made From Hop waste.

The waste Of hops which brewers
cannot sell and for the removal of
which they are Obliged to pay, could
not until now be used in the manu-
facture of paper and pasteboard be-
cause it contains an oily substance
which is detrimental to the quality
of the paper made therefrom. A ma
chine has just been invented and pat
ented in England with which this oil
can be extracted with very little cost.
In view of this fact paper and paste
board can nov be manufactured much
more cheaply than heretofore.
