The Bed ARTISTIC.

From the Furnisher and Decorator.
There are nowadays slesnly springs
and hair mattresses piled high It.
place of the old feather beds, and as
to stiff white bed covers, pillow slips
and shams, false sheets and Valen-
ciennes trimming, mOnOgrammed and
ruffied fiDeries, there is truce. They
were so slippery, so trou blesome and
SO false withal that the beds that
have known them shall know them
no more forever. They had always
to be unpinned and unlocked before
the sleeper could enter his bed, and
they were the torment of the house,
maid. They entailed q degree Of
washing and ironing that was end
less, and yet many young house
keeper thought them Indispensable.
The idea has gone out completely.
The bed Is now made up with its
fresh linen sheets. its clean blankets
and Its Marsellis quilt, with square
or long pillows, as the sleeper iancies,
with bolster in plain linen sheath.
Then over the whole Is thrown q
light lace cover lined with liberty
silk. This may be as expensive or as
cheap as the owner wishes. Spreads
of satin may be used, covered with
Chinese embroidery or with patch
work designs. One light and easily
aired orapery succeeds the four or
five pieces of unmansgeable linen.
If the bed has . tester, and curtains
of silk or chIntz, the bed covering
shonld match in tint, and In q very
pretty bed room the walls should be
covered with chlntZ or silk.

ONE RESULT or HARD TIMES.
Recruits for the Army Become Plentiful
Views of an Ohicsr.

One effect of the present "harI

the past year and the constantly in

recruiting stations all vel the coun-

OF affairs an army officer connected
with the recruiting service said to a
Washington Post man the other night:
The army in nearer full at present
than 1t has ever been since the war.
The maximum allowance for the stand
ing army is by law $4,000 or $4,000
in the ranks. At present, however,
there are only about l54 vacancies in
the whole army, and orders have had
to be issued TO the officers in charge OF
all the recruiting stations to restrict
the number of recruits taken in. The
fact is that it is not nearly every man

not more than n out OF six or eight
applicants who Is accepted.
There are perhaps fifty or sixty re.
cruiting stations throughout the coun-
try. with an officer in charge of each,

himself he is obliged to answer a list
of about fifty questions rs to his mem
tai qualifications and past record and
is then examined physically by a sur

applicants can do, he is turned over to

esting Oecaiion.
Atlanta Constitution: did you ever
observe the different evidences OF cor
diality among the bon wants Of the
southern states when they come to
drink ones health in a barroom or at a
dinner tablet" asked a well known
Georgia politician yesterday as he
pulled away at a good cigar and leaned
himself against the post lazily.
Nobody had observed them.
We'll, the Kentuckian says, as he
lifts the straight whisky to his lips:
Here's at you, my boy. and his com
panion, %nodding, replies, Drink hearty,
and the drinks go down. The Texan
pours out his liquor and says, care
lessly but politely withal, My kindest,'
and the other fellow says, Same here
and they drink.
The Georgian stands and talks a
momen before taking up the bottle,
and talks all the time, scarcely noticing
his action as he pours out the rye and
calls for 'pollinaris. Then he stands
and talks a moment longer, for Geor-
gians. you know, are never in = hurry
When finally he comes TO think about
the drinks he lifts his glass and says:
"'Weil, here goes, Chap" The other
fellow replies: Let 'er GO and she
goes on the spot. The man from
Louisiana, particularly if he comes
from New Orleans, says in a nervous
little spasm of cordiality: Long life
TO YOU and his companion, from Louis
lana, too, answers with characteristic
wit: Send II south, send it south, and
south she goes.

there is one need, says the American
Analyst, which they are almost unable
to supply. We refer TO the family
LAXATIVE" The family physician IS
able Il prescribe for the most compli-
Gated and obscure of maladies and yet
is often puzzled 20 know just what TO
give when asked for "A remedy which
a be kept in the house for family use
as u laxative, that shall be effective,
free from danger, and not un-
pleasant TO take. When absent on our
summer vacation we were asked by
four different parties, representing as
many families, what we thought OF the
SYRUP of Figs Not n word did we
volunteer on the subject and we were
somewhat surprised To find that there
was this small token of the very gen
eral use of that preparation. Those par
ties said they derived more benefit from
it and found il more pleasant to
take than anything of the kind they
had ever used. The simple question
with them was, is it a dangerous com
pound? We informed them IA a its
active ingredient was a preparation of
SIENNA, and that il was entirely free
from danger. With this assurance
they volunteered the information that
they should continue TO keep II III the
house.
The th~erapeutical properties of SIENNA
are so well known that cqmment on
this seems unnecessary. III might De
well TO notice, however, that Bartho-
low says il is a very safe and service
able cathartic," and that it is highly
priced as a remedy for constipation.
He also makes the important ooserva-
ton that its use lis not followed by in
testinal torpor and constipation
The simple truth of the matter is, we
have altogether too few preparations
which we can recommend 10 u faml-
lies as effective iaXatives. Bu the
California Fig Syrup company has one
of the most desirable combinations for
this purpose with which we are famil-
lar. The Fig Syrup company gives TO
the profession the composition of this
preparation, therefore there is no secret
about IL. The persons who use this
laxative speak in the highest terms
about il. and we are pleased 10 notice
that a large number of physicians are
prescribing it.
Viewed from the and most
selfish standpoint the physician will
lose nothing b. recommending such a
preparation as Syrup of Figs TO his pa
tients: while viewed from the highest
standpoint of doing the best possible
by those who place themselves IN our
care, we would say the profession can
not do better than give their indorSe-
meut to such a preparation.
