APPS Not Very Intelligent.

A naturalist recently declared that
we are wrong in ascribing unusual
Intelligence to animals of the ape
species. ''As it is the only animal
with hands, it does many things by
instinct and habit and necessity that
resemble the acts of human beings
and make it seem to US as if it is
guided b. intellect. The ape is
hardly moro intelligent than the dog,
II, indeed. he knows as much. He
has gift for imitation and capacity
Tor mischief, and that is the most
human part of him. But the animal
that really knows the most or is
capable OF being trained so as to
show the most striking results of
education, is the domestic pig"

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
ative; 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 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
ufac.ured by the California Fig Syrup

We contend. however, says the
Troy Press, that from news stand
pblllb luC uuNcTtlSlHn COLUMNS are
important, interesting, and instruc-

times with remarkable accuracy. The
trained reader of current advertise

heavy or light. and whether u com
munity is stagnant or energetic.
We defy anyone who is not an in

every affirmation herein submitted.
The experiment is worth making. II

Harper's Monthly is right To be

is no escape from this conclusion.

Martin Campbell, Brooklynitc aged
twenty-six. was killed by lightning
few days ago, and when physicians ex-
nmined his body they found that u
number of extraordinary marks had
been made by the fluid on the skin of
the dead man. The marks were on the
neck, chest, right hip and thigh. The
neck was encircled by thin crimson
cord, varying in thickness from hairs
breadth to an eighth of an inch, and
this circlct was itself ornamenlod by a
sort of chcvauxde-frise and made TO

In Palestine is one OF the most in

important OF archaeological dis
coveries in tho orient. This ancient
city is mentioned in Joshua, and its
site was unknown until three years
ago, when Professor Potrie happened
upon its ruins while digging in n
