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.
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.

An interesting lesson Is offered to
the student OF longevity in the tables
made up by life-insurance companies
showing the chances of life or death
as affected by various occupations.
AT first sight there seem to be some
glazing Inconsistencies in such tables.
The profession of medicine, for ex-
ample, which might be expected to
occupy q place among the occupations
tending to longest life, Is found, on
the contrary among those tending to
comparatively short lie.
If we leave out of account those
active occupations which are OF ne
cessity peculiarly unhealthful, -as
for instance, that of the stoker, which
involves the performance of labor in
very hot atmosphere, it appears to
be certain that occupations of pro.
fcssions which call for long hours at
the desk, or at other sedentary worl,
produce victims OF disease sooner

Where dozen sparrows were seen in all
parts of the city five yeara ago not half
that number are now observed. In some
parts of the city and suburbs the little

fanciers ACCOUNT for this by saying that
since the English visitors have become do.

popular belief that the birds have
been "told by a bird" that their

made them so generally odious that
they had taken offence and gone
away to parts unknown. AS they arc of

The natives in the picture, however, arc

not in fashion in the days when tapa was
used for clothing.
Tapa making, 1t seems to me- is an art
which should be revived in these islands,
for the reason that when skillfully made
it is beautiful material and capable of
much artistic treatment, and would COM
mend itself TOR many uses, ornamental

books, albums, portfolios and like uses.
