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 a perfect lax
atiye; 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 ST. 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
accept any substitute if offered.

Worlds Fair Views.

of Rev. DIR. Rice's illustrated lectures on
the worlds fair, has made arrangements
to open the exhibition at the Pasadena
Tabernacle on the oath instant. These
views have been very popular in the
northern part of the state, and have
drawn great crowds. The stereopticon,
with the calcium light, brings the build
ings OF the fair out in bold relief; and
with the aid of the lecturer, as scene
after scene is brought out, the audience
are really made as familiar with the
great exposition as though they had act
ually given it personal inspection.

Animals with Human Voices.

A species of crow in India has a
note which exactly resembles the hui
man voice in loud laughing. The
laughing jackass, when warning his
feathered mates that daybreak is at
hand, utters cry resembling group
Of boys shouting, whooping and
laughing in a wild chorus. The
nightjar has cry like one lamenting
in distress.
Among birds that have the power
of imitation the parrot is the best;
but, as matter of fact, it's voice is
decidedly inferior to that of the my
nah, a species of startling. Curiously
enough, the male bird speaks in a
high, clear tone, like that of child,
while the female has a gruff voice.
Another bird, the morepork of Aus
tralia, is frequently heard vehement
ly demanding more pork, " in a clear,
stentOrian voice. The whip-poor-
will also demands his punishment in
distinct imitation of the human
voice, and the command Of the guinea
fowl to come back" could easily be
mistaken for human voice.
Coming to quadrupeds, the cries of
none approach more closely that Of
the human voice than those of seals
when lamenting the loss or capture
Of their young. The cry Of a wound
ed hare resembles that of a child in
distress.

Pronunciation.

Linguists tell us that the pronun.
citation is slowly but steadily chang
ing. Sometimes it is going further
and further away from the or.
biography; for example, either
and neither are getting to have in
their first syllable the long sound
intead of the long sound which they
had once. Sometimes it is being
modified to agree with the orthogra-
pny; for example, the older pronun-
citation of again to rhyme with men,
and Of been to rhyme with pin, in
which / was carefully trained as a
boy, seemed to me to be giving way
before a pronunciation in exact &C
cord with the spelling, again to rhyme
with pain, and been to rhyme with
seen. These two illustrations are
from the necessarily circumscribed
experience of a single observer, and
the observation of others may not
bear me out in my opinion;. but
though the illustrations fall to the
ground, the main assertion, that pro-
nunciation is changing, is indisputa-
bile

membership in the Washington Base
Ball Club. Before he became Presi-

games regularly.
President Hayes was nothing of q
sport. In fact, it may fairly be said
that he had no amusement whatever.
He cared nothing for driving, and he
was never known to play any games.
He was socially disposed, however, and
used to receive visitors commonly in
the evening together with Mrs. Hayes.
Gen. Grants favorite game was
~Boaston. He used to play it great
deal with Gen. Van. Vliet and Gen.
Rufus Ingalls,, the latter formerly Chief
Quartermaeter of the Army of the Poto-
mac. Both of these officers are still liv-
ing and on the retired list. The amuse-
ment in which the hero of Appomattox
found most pleasure, however, was
driving. He was extremely fond of
speeding over the road holding the reins
Of faster trotter Nearly every after
noon he drove out in buggy with his

breakfast every morning he was accus-
toned to take walk, always with his
left hand behind him and his right hand
holding a lighted cigar. His favorite
dishes were rare roast beef and boiled
hominy.
Lincoln Loved Shakespeare.
President Lincoln was too seriously
and anxiously busy during his tenancy
Of the White House to indulge in many
amusements. The favorite occupation
Of his leisure moments was reading
Shakespeare. He went to the theater
good deal, especially enjoying the plays
OF Shakespeare. His favorite character
was Falstaff, and he had cordial per-
sonal liking for James H. Hackett. who
was the greatest Falstaff this country
ever produced. Their intimacy was
broken up by Hackett's ambition to
the United States abroad as a
Minister Plenipotentiary. Mr.. Lincoln

ton. Jefferson sought to escape from
the anxieties Of government by playing
the fiddle. Neither he nor Madison
was a sport in any sense. John Quincy
Adams was the pedestrian President
and swimmer
Gen. Washington was in his prime a
great sportsman. He was particularly
fond Of fox hunting, keeping a pack of
hounds from imported stock and several
hunters. With these he hunted almost
every day. In fact, he lived in all re-
spects as does the typical country gen.
tleman in Virginia at present. The
story that Washington once threw
stone across the Potomac was long ago
exploded. such feat would not have
been possible for any man who was not

The fact seems to be that he did throw

life was to throw a crown across the

Two Brothers.

Two small boys signaled a street
car, and when it stopped it was no
ticed that one boy was lame. With
much solicitude the other boy helped
the cripple aboard the Car, and after
telling the conductor to go ahead re-
turned to the sidewalk. The lame
boy braced himself up in his seat so
that he could look out of the car
window, and the other passengers OBJ
served that at intervals the little fell
low would wave his hand and smile.
Following the direction of his glances
the passengers saw the other boy
running along the sidewalk, strain
ing every muscle to keep up with the
car. The passengers watched his
pantomime in silence for few blocks,
and then gentleman asked the lame
boy who the other boy was.
my brother" was the prompt re-
ply.
~Why does he not ride with you in
the carp" was the next question.
~'Cause he hasn't any money"
answered the lame boy, sorrowfully.
1t is needless to say the little rum
ner was speedily invited into the
car, and the sympathetic questioner
not only paid his fare but gave each
boy quarter besides.

FLoRIDA's STATE BUILDING.
One OF the Most Peculiar Structures In
jackson Park.

One OF the Most Peculiar Structures In
jackson Park.
Three hundred years ago the foun-
dations of Spanish fort were laid
within the confines of St. Augustine,
Fla. At the present moment work
is progressing on a building pat
termed after it in every detail, and
which, when completed, will be the
States representative structure at
the Worlds Columbian Exposition.
Old Fort San Marco, now Fort Marion,
is the historic fortress which has
stood the storms of battle and the
elements for so many hundred years.
Its pygmy counterpart in the EXPOSE
tion grounds will have become dust
within a space Of time which would
not add one dingier shade to the mas
sive stones frowning from the sea wall
of St. Augustine upon the blue, dan
cling waves of the Atlantic.
Fort San Marco was commenced by
the Spaniards in 1892, and was 1874
years in building. 1t is built of CO.
auina quarried on Anastasia Island,
and occupies the north end of sea
wall nearly one mile in length. This
wall is built of the same mate
rial as the fort, and at it's south end
are barricks for the United States
soldiery stationed at St. Augustine.

on his trail to hunt him down. Mr..
Arthur tried his best to get some fun
out Of his term Of Office, but he found 1t
very difficult. The President is the
hardest-worked man in the United
States, and he can hardly take a vaca-
ton without carrying the shop with
him. When Mr.. Cleveland went up into
the North Woods, he still remained to
some extent in harness, line Of cou-
riers connecting his camp where he
went with the nearest telegraph office.
Mr.. Arthur was very fond Of the thea
ter, especially comedy, because he
liked to laugh. Above all things he de-
lighted in giving little stag dinners at
the White House, to which he invited
the men who talked best and were most
congenial.
The billiard table on which Mr.. .Cleve-
land has played and will play again at
the White House was originally pur-
chased for President Garfield. Gen.
Garfield had the present billiard-room
in the basement of the Executive Man
sion fitted up for that purpose, and he
played there a great deal with his most
particular friends. He was very fond of
all kinds Of games. He was a first-rate
horseback rider, and held an honorary

Last Herd off Wild Bnfraln.

Hunters in Colorado are bent upon
the extinction of the last herd of
buffalo that inhabit the parks high
in the Rocky mountains. There
were only about twenty-five of the
animals, and thirteen of these are be-
lieved to have been killed. Officers
are hunting the hunters now and,
catching them, will endeavor to bull
the actual price of buffalo skins to a
point absolutely beyond precedent
1t is hoped by the San Francisco Ex-
aminer that their quest may be sue
cessful. Indeed, news that the mon
arch of the fleeing bison had turned
upon his foes and horned a few of
them into penitence or into the
hereafter would fail to create wave
of sorrow.
There is something little short Of
pathos in the way the buffalo have
been effaced. But a few years ago,
roaming in countless thousands, they
were killed for the lust of slaughter,
for mere wantonness. Now so scant a
remnant survives that at one time it

Dust, Upholstery and Disease.

Householders in furnishing would
do we'll to remember that the ordi-
nary practice of covering floor with
carpet is not without it's disadvan-
tages, even it's dangers. The PARTICLES
which give substance to the pure
search light of a sunbeam as it pene-
trates the window pane are Of the
most varied character. Harmless as
are very many Of them, there are
many more possessed of true morbiflc
energy and capable of almost I'M
limited multiplication. Anyone can
see therefore how, when sheltered in
dusty wooden hangings, chair up
holstery and carpets, they render
these articles yeritable harbors Of
disease. The less we have Of such
the better, especially in bedrooms.
Some practical deductions naturally
suggest themselves.
AS to curtains and carpets, it is but
rational that they should, as rule,
consist of the smoother and harder
fabrics which will bear thorough and
frequent brushing. If thicker floor
cloths and rugs be used, they should
be such in size and arrangement
that they can be readily taken
up and beaten. 1t is but part of
the same argument to say that as
much of the floor as possible should
be either vanished or laid with oil
cloth, so as to allow Of frequent
cleansing. Cane and leather, for
like reason, are incomparably supe-
rior to the richest upholstery when
we come to speak of general furni-
ture. Some, perhaps, may imagine
that in making these observations we
treat this matter too much as
hobby. Only one circumstance, how
ever, is required in order to convince
any such of their real and practical
significance, and that is the actual
presence Of infectious disease. When
this appears, all forms of cumbrous
comfort in the apartment must give
place, not merely to freer and SIM
pier arrangement. but even to bare,

the war of 1912, and was about to be
called into active service when the
war was brought to an end. On Aug.
Is, 1919, he married Sallie Flint, and
for their wedding tour took journey
of twenty-five miles on horseback to
attend a Methodist quarterly meet
ing. In the spring of 1886 he came
to Michigan. He walked from De-
troit to Jackson, and after taking up
a claim of 800 acres and building,
alone, a log house, he moved his fam
lily here in the fall Of the same year.
Here he has lived since, and has
cleared up farms for several of his
children. From boyhood he has al
ways been an ardent Methodist, and
was regularly seen taking his family
of twelve children to meeting with
team of oxen. He has taken great
pride in the education Of his children,
and all have been sent to Albion Col
lege. He is now in his 9Sth year, is
occasionally able to attend meeting,
and can still do share Of the farm
work. He last fall husked over 100
bushels of corn.
