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.
O. 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
alive; 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 dug
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 well informed, you will not

Which Was the Prince?

Some years ago a masquerade ball
was given by the late Lady Marion
Afford, mother of the present Earl
Brownlow, and very distinguished
company was invited. AS ali were to
be marked, each guest was naturally
requested to present the card Of invi-
tation at the door Of Afford House.
And, equally naturally, several Of
the masqueraders had forgot to bring
their cards.
The first of these, being gentle
man of resource, hit, however, on a
plan to gain admission without the
required formula, that proved per-
fectly successful.
"Your card of invitation, please,
sir"
Il am the Prince of Wales"
The servant bowed low, and the
pseudO-prince passed up.
Ten minutes later another guest
arrived without his card. By an odd
coincidence the same eXpeslient oc-
Cured to him.
Il must ask you for your in vitation
card, SIR" said the servant.
The guest stared at him absent
mindedly.
"Oh!" he said, II have not got it;
but it doesn't matter, l think. | am
the Prince of Wales"
The second pretender might have
had more difficulty in enforcing his
claim; but at the foot of the steps
was one of the royal carriages, and
the sight of the scarlet liyeries con-
vinced the servant that he had been
deceived by the first pretender, and
that the true Prince stood there in
propria persona.
With murmured apology the Of
fetal bowed lower than before, and
amid the whispers Of the bystanders
the royal claimant passed on.
His place was taken by a stout gen.
tleman in marvellous costume Of
scarlet and crimson.
"Your card, SIR
II am the Prince Of Wales" said
the scarlet domino, briefly.
But the servant smiled.
"Oh, not" he said, blandly but
firmly. II must really thank you to
return for your ticket Of invitation.

He Can't Find an Honest Man.

An old gentleman, evidently a gath
erer of statistics, but with kindly face
which shaded off to something like phi
lanthropy about the ed ges, was gazing
abstraetedly down the STREET.
Suddenly he stepped up to a gentle
man who was waiting fog horse car,
and, touching him lightly on the Shout
der, said: Excuse me, but did you just
drop SIS bill?" at the same time hold
ing out in his hand the SUM mentioned.
The gentleman questioned gazed
moment at the note, assumed look OF
excitement, made hasty search Of his
pockets and said Why, SO I did, and I
didn't miss it" holding out his eager,
hand.
The old man slowly drew forth note
book and said: Il thought So" He then
took the name and address Of the loser
and, putting the note in his pocket,
turned away.
Well" said the other, do you want
1t as r6ward?"
"Oh, did not find one, returned the
benevolent old man, but it struck me

EXECUTED BY A MONK.
The Most Beautiful Volume in the
Congressional Library.

The most beautiful volume among the
half million IN the Congressional Ii
brary is said to be q Bible which was
transcribed by monk in the sixteenth
century. 1t could not be matched to-
day in the best printing Office in the
world. The parchment is in perfect
preservation. Every one of its thousand
pages is study. The general lettering
is in German text, each letter perfect, as
is every one, in coal black ink, without
scratch or blot from lid to lid.
At the beginning of each chapter the
first letter is very large, usually two OF
three inches long, and is brightly illum-
mated in red and blue ink. Within each
of these capitals is drawn the figure of
some saint, some incident of which the
following chapter tells, is illustrated.
There are two columns on page, and
nowhere is traceable the slightest irregu-
larity of line, space or formation of the
letters. Even under the magnifying
glass they seem fawless. This precious
volume is kept under glass case, which
is sometimes lifted to show that all the
pages are as perfect as the two which lie
open.
legend relates that a young man
who had sinned deeply, became monk
and resolved to do penance for his mis-
deeds. He determined to copy the
Bible, that he might learn every letter
of the divine commands which he had
violated. Every day for many years he
patiently pursued his task. Each letter
was wrought in reverence and love, and
the patient soul found its only companion
ship in the sanity faces which were por-
trayed on these pages.
When the last touch was given to the
last letter the old man reverently kissed
the page and folded the sheets together.
Soon afterwsE., he died.

stands for $40 bill which was presented
to the owner of the name on the day of

the gift appears in the recipients name
