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
accent any substitute if offered.

Badly Frightened.

Innulnerable experiences prove that
all ghost stories have rational ex-
plar alton, and that some natural cause
can be found for any seemingly super
natural occurrence. Sometimes it re-
quires great GOODNESS and self-posses-
sion to remember this. but the effort
to do so is worth making, for it may
save life or reason. A striking illustra-
ton Of this was the tragic experience
Of a Dutch painter. named Penteman,
who lived in the eighteenth century.
Penteman had commission which
required the portrayal Of skeletons,
death heads, and other objects intend
ed to inspire contempt for the frivoli-
ties and vaniticS of the time.
In order to have models before him
he painted his picture in an anatomical
museum One day he had been sketch
ing the CHASTITY objects which surround
ed him, when he fell asleep.
Suddenly he was awakened by an
extraordinary noise. He was Mortified
to see all the deaths heads nodding and
grimmacing, and the skeletons dancing
about, and waving their tleshlesS arms
madly in the air.
Pcnteman fled from the frightful
scene. and escaped into the street. He
was picked up unconscious and half
dead with fright.
AS soon as he was rational. ii was
explained to him that there had been
an earthquake, aud that that had caused
