teresting marble relief from Rome,
which represents an ancient butcher
shop, of oblong shape, and divided by
apillar into two unequal parts. In tho
greater stands the butcher, with high
chopping block resting on three sub
stantial legs before him, while behind
him hang the steelyard and cleaver,
he himself being occupied in dividing
a rib of meat with another cleaver. On
the wall above him, just as with us, is
row Of hooks near to each other, on
which hang pieces of meat already
dressed-a rib and leg of meat, a

A Chin of thc Old Block.

A Trinity professor and his Young
son were dressing together one morn
ing not long ago when the father
thought he saw chance to inculoate
into his son IL few good ideas. He
looked out of the window and saw the
small boy who lived next door to them
working hard in the garden, and this
was his opportunity. Henry" he
said, "look at Walter Jones working
out there in the garden. He's been
up since 3 o'clock this morning,
MIXED the COW and brought the milk
over here. Now, there's boy for
you"
The boy mused for minute or two,
then looked up at his father and said !:
''Papa, do you see Mr.. Jones over
there? He's been up since O'Clock
working hard in the garden, planting
corn and peas. Now, there's IA man
for you" And the professor rs he
tells the story says there was just a

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 bcsG 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.
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
accept any substitute if offered.

The Oldest Trees.

The Soma cypress of Lombardy is, I
believe, the Oldest tree Of which there
is any authentic record. 1t is known
to have been in existence i'll AZ b. @.
There are, however, many trees for
which vastly greater antiquity is
claimed. Tho Senegal baobabs-some
of them are said to be 5000 years old.
The bo tree of Anuradhapura, In
Ceylon, is perhaps the Oldest specimen
of another very long-lived species; it
is held sacred upon the ground that
it sprang from branch of the iden-
tical tree under which Buddha reclined
for seven years while undergoing his
apotheosis. This oak is we'll known
to be long liver, and there are speci-
mems still standing i'll Palestine, of
which the tradition goes that they
grew out of Gains staff. The haw-
thorn, again, sometimes lives to be
very old there is said to be one in
side Cawdor Castle of an "immemorial
age"
The cedars of Lebanon may also be
mentioned, and there arc, according
to Dean Stanley. still eight of the
olives of Gethsemane standing, "whose
gnurlcd trunks and scanty foliage will
always be regarded MS the most affect

pressed between glass rollers, passed
successfully through water, ammonia
solution and second time through

and dried on ielt rollers, and finally on
polished and heated metal rollers. The

which it can be pui.

Falcons rs Messengers.

Falconry may hereafter be restored,
as 1t seems, though not as n sport, but
ms part of the terribly serious business,
war. A Russian officer, Captain Smi-
lof, has been tanning falcons to serve
rs dispatch carriers. The falcon has
several advantages over the carrier
pigeon. Not only is he more war
like bird than the meek cousin of the
dove, but he is swittcr in flight and
capable Of great endurance The
greatest swiftncss ever known to he
attained is fifteen tGcrmau) miles in
the hour, but this is the rate of the
ordinary flight OF the falcon.
D'AuhuSson, in his work on the
"Falconry of the Middle Ages" tells
several anecdotes of the extraordinary
swiftncss of fight. For instance, q
falcon which WIS sent from the Canary
Islands to the Duke of Lerma, in
Spain, made the rGturn flight from
Andalusin to TencrifTe in sixteen hours,
which was at the express speed of six
teen tGcrmnn) miles in the hour. A
German mile is not far short of five
English miles, so thVt the speed of this
fs!"ou must have been Mt tho rate of
ABOUT sevcnty-iivc miles an hour
\ further advantage of tho falcon
over the pigeon is the greater weight
which it cnu carry. 1t is we'll known
that very slight burden IL an oppres-
sion to the poor pigeon, SO that dis
patches are reduced in size by photo
graphic copies, in order to reduce the
weight for the feeble little carrier.
Captain Smoiloff says that he hns
found that falcon can carry weight
of four Russian pounds, or 1G4O grams
(thirty grams go to our ouuce) with
put diminishing its power or swiftncsG
II flying. Besides, the carrier pigeon
may fall n prey to the fnlcon, while
there is small danger Of any other
bird taking the carrier falcon
prisoner. .-Wcstminster Gazette.

pounds of pure glue without which
it would be impossible to keep body

pound of carbonate of lime, three
ounces of sugar and starch, seven
ounces Of Houride of calcium, six
ounces of phosphate of magnesia and

up into his primary chemical clements
the same man is found to contain
ninety-seven pounds of oxygen
enough to take up, under ordinary at
mospheric pressure, the space of
room ten feet long, ten feet wide and
ten feet high. His body also holds
fifteen pounds Of hydrogen, which, an
der the same conditions, would occupy
somewhat moro than two such rooms

ounces of nitrogen. The carbon III

not such n one i'll its possession. a
row Of bottles contain the other ele-
ments going to make up the man.
These are four ounces of chlorine, b
ounces Of fourine, eight ounces OF
phosphorus, 81 ounces of brimstone,
g ounces of sodium. = ounces of po-
tassium, Ito OF an ounce of iron, two
ounces of magnesium and three pounds

CHM, at present market rates, is
worth $500 an ounce, SO that the

Few of our fellow citizens realize that
they are worth SO much intrinsically.

Sam Wanted Whale and Nothing
Short of It.
A party of young men who were on
a fishing excursion on the Ohio river
some years ago were joined by an &C.
centric man, skilled as fisherman,
known in that region as "Barefooted
Sam" He was good cook, and made
himself useful in SO many ways that
his presence, though unlimited, was
tolerated by the amateur sportsmen.
Que morning two members of tho
party returned to camp with their ap-
petites well sharpened for breakfast,
and were greeted enthusiastically by
third man, who said: "You just come
along and see the finest baked perch
you ever laid eyes on"
They hurried to the table, but saw
only rick of bones, from which every
nowhere to be seen. When he returned
no comments were made upon the cir
cumstance; but in the afternoon, when
the company were lounging on the
bank, Sam drawled out:
I'D like to have all the fish could
eat, jest onst. / amt had a mess sence
Pete Follet ketched that big catfish,
three years back"
''Sam," remarked one of the group
dryly, II thought you had quite fair
mess this morning. That perch weighed
about ten pounds, I've been informed
'Oh, yes," replied Sam, with no sign
of embarrassment on his placid coun
tenance, 81 ate that; but what mean
is reel, reg'lar messl'
The company pondered on this re-
markable statement in absolute silence
for some moments, until at last the man
who had caught the perch CALCULATED:

COMPETITION AVOIDED.
Shops in France Not Allowed to Grow
Each Other.

Shops in France Not Allowed to Crowd
Each Other.
In France two shops selling the same
thing are not allowed to exist within g
certain area. In provisions this absencs
of competition materially increases the
price, but, says a woman who has
large experience in housekeeping in
France, your taxes are less, and you
have in return clean streets, good gas,
constant water supply and perfect
sewerage. In addition, by virtue of
state supervision, you never receive
short weight or inferior goods. There
is no quantity so small that the grocer
will not sell it. And in doing thisand
in delivering it he is as scrupulously
polite and careful as in buying larger
amounts. The butcher is the cooks
friend and will trim the meat and take
out the bones with loving care. Meat
is dear. Good beefsteak costs from
thirty-seven cents to fifty cents
pound. Fish is very expensive, but
poultry is reasonable and good and
comparatively cheap. A good deal of
cooking in small households is done
with gas, and gas stoves are loaned by
the gas companies for this purpose.
Sugar, matches and all imported arti-
cles are dear, owing to the high tariff
The lowest price for servants is ten
dollars month. Charwomen ask six
cents by the hour. Englishwomen say
that life on the continent is much
more agreeable for Americans than
for themselves, owing to the fact that
in each consular town the consul and
his family make a nucleus for a colony,
which soon gathers about them.
