Physicians are not inclined TO RECON-.
mend self medication to the laity. Yet
there is one need, says the American
Analyst, which they are almost unable
to supply. We refer to the family
Laxative" The family physician is
able to prescribe for the most conph-
Gated and obscure of maladies ana yet

Tree from danger, and not unpleasant 10
take. When absent ON >our summer
vacation we were asked by four OH
Ierent parties, representing as many
families, what we thought of the Syrup
OF Figs" Not one word did we volun-
teer on the subject, and we were some
what surprised to find that there was
this small token of the very general
use of that preparation. These parties
said they derived more benefit from
1t and found it more pleasant to take
tnfn anything of the kind they had
ever used. The simple question with
them, was, is it dangerous compound!
we informed them that its active in
gfedlent was a preparation Of SIENNA,
ana mat 1t was entirely free from dan
ger With this assurance they volun-
teered the information that they should
continue to keep it in the house.
The therapehtical properties of SIENNA
are SO well known that comment on
Ills seems unnecessary. 1t might be
wen TO notice, however, that Bartho-
low says it is "a very safe and service
aDle cathartic," and that it is highly
pTlzed as remedy for constipation. !"
he also makes the important ObScrva-
tlon that its use lis not followed by
intestinal tCrpor and constipation"
Inc simple truth of the matter Is,
we have altogether too few prepare
Mons which we can recommend to our
families as effective laxatices. But the
california Fig Syrup company has one
OF the most desirable combinations for
this purpose with which we are famil-
lar. The Fig Syrup company gives to
the profession the composition Of this
preparation, therefore there is no secret
about it; the persons who use this laxa-
tive speak in the highest terms about
1t; and we are pleased to notice that
a large number Of physicians are pre-
scribing it.
Viewed from the narrowest and most
selfish standpoint the physician will
lose nothing by recommending such a
preparation as Syrup of Figs to his pa
uents; While viewed from the highest
standpoint Of doing the best possible
by those who place themselves in our
care, we would say the profession can
not do better than give their indOrse
ment to such a preparation.

Some Traits of the TOO-Often Easy

The genuine Frenchwoman of society

or less fascinating. Like the French

Of feeling, and has either very strong,
almost bigoted principles, or none at
all. AS there is no possibility for the
development Of love before marriage,
writes the Marquise de San Carlos in
the North American Review, this most
natural of all human passions is apt to
assert it's power long after the eXcita-
bic young French woman has contract
ed an alliance with some ''unsympathet-
ic fellow" and it needs much character
and very solid virtue to resist the court
ship of enterprising French noblemen,
who swarm around young brides with
the skepticism of true ibertines. WO-
men of strict principles, who have not
become nuns on leaving schools, and
who have the courage to withstand the
current of youth and passion, lead after
marriage, for the most part, lives of 81
lent domestic martyrd0m. Those who
have rather loose morals, and they are,
perchance the greater number, seem to
have q pretty good time of it and spend
their golden years trompant leurs maris

their children with the greatest severity

In fact, the cool way the French women
have Of being immoral without giving
up going to church on Sunday is a
mystery. One sister will be a Carmel

age of half dozen admirers. Yet both
have been educated in the same con,

Frenchman Who Has a Dead Sure
Thing With the Ivory Balls.
M. Gallia's billiard game has enter
tanned hundreds of men at the Hoff-
man House recently, and made many
of them feel silly. He plays with two
cues and his opponent with one. He
will gain attention by proposing to play
any one in the room and give him forty
points to fifty. That will capture al
most any man who thinks he knows
how to play and the man who thinks
he can not play is scarce.
The Frenchman insists upon having
the first shot. His two cues are held
much after the manner of chop-sticks,
except that he uses both hands, and the
ball is tossed and rolled upon them
deity as a Chinaman juggIes with Il
grain of rice. 1t is his privilege to pick
up the ball from any part of the table,
not touching it with his hands, for that
would forfeit the game and select any
angle he pleases for making his shot.
A cushion carOm is as easy for him as
straight shot. He scores whenever
he likes, and misses only to lead on his
adversary. At times, when the balls
are in opposite corners, he shoots over
the top of the firsc barely grazing it,
and scores on the other.
He not only understands thoroughly
the science of billiards, but toys with
the ball in the most remarkable way,
never losing it, though it rolls from
end to end of the cueD as he walks
around the table, looking for a shot. 1t
slides up and down with the precision
of piston in a steam cylinder. When
the shot is made the small ends of the
cues are placed on the table near the
object ball, so that the cue-ball rolls
down an inclined plane, it's force being
governed by the degree Of inclination.
NJ. Gallia will play 500 points, giving
his opponent 400. He does not like to
run over 100 points, as the game is ia
tguing His style of play is popular
all over France. 1t was introduced
here a few years ago, but the billiard
enthusiasts failed to take it up.-New

AGAINST HAWAII.

BIount's Report Said to Be Opposed
to the Annexation of the Islands.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-1he nature of
Mr.. Blount's recommendation regard
ing the annexation question, says a
morning paper, is to the effect that no
action should be taken by the United
States to annex the island or estab-
lish protectorate over it without the
full consent of all the natives. The
report recommends that all ques-
tions involved in annexation and
establishment of a protectorate should
be submitted to vote of all
natives, as well as foreigners, and
upon their decision rests the future pol
icy of the United States respecting the
Hawaiian islands. If Mr.. Cleveland
adopts the recommendations submitted,
it practically means that the queen will
be restored to power, as she is said to
be popular among the natives, each of
whose votes is said to be equal to that
of foreigner, and would mean, fur
ther, the complete ascendency of Mr..
Claus Spreckles, the sugar king.

THE VIGILANT WINS
two OF THE INTERNATIONAL
YACHT RACES SAILED.

The American Graft Easily Defeats
Her British Opponent-First Race
Captured by Seven Minutes and
Second by Thirteen-AnotherH Heat

HIGHLANDS OF NAvEsINK, N. j., Oct.
7.-The fact that the race Thursday
between the Vigilant and the Valkyrie
ended in fiuke was matter of con-
graduation to the many observers who
watched the race from this point. 1t
was the general opinion that the start
should not have been made under the
weather conditions prevailing on
Thursday, and it must be acknowledged
that the scattering men in this vicinity
accurately predicted that there would
not be wind enough during the day to
make race.
Saturday was the date fixed for the
second of the series of five races, but
the cup committee, after conference
with Lord Dunraven. decided that
Thursdays race should be resailed.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1893-10-11

Therefore the course of Saturdays race
was the same as that sailed Thursday,
that is, 15 miles to windward or lee
ward. and return. This will, with
wind holding from the same direction,
make the distance to be covered about
40 miles, the extra 10 miles being added
through the yachts being compelled to
beat to windward.
Fully as large feet of excursion and
other boats as was out Thursday fol-
lowed the racers Saturday. and the
early morning indications were that
those aboard them would see race
worth looking at. Though the wind
was not very strong there were indica-
tions that it would breeze up before the
hour of the start.
The Start Made.
The start was made at 1926 with the
wind about II miles an hour, the Val
kyrie having about length the lead.
This position remained unchanged un-
til about noon when the Vigilant made
up her lost ground aud passed the
English yacht. She continued to gain
rapidly on the Valkyrie and at 1880
had lead of nearly and eighth of amile.
At I2:45 she had increased her lead to
a mile and was so far ahead of the VAL
kyrie that it was impossible to see
them both at the same time in the focus
of the glass.
At 1850 the Vigilant set her spinna-
ker, con tinuing to increase her lead all
the time At 1:10 the lifesaving station
at Long Branch estimated the Vigi-
lant's lead at between two and two and
q half miles.
The Valkyrie soon after got into
stronger wind than her opponent and
at 20 the Vigilant's lead was about a
mile. The Vigilant passed the turning
boat at 1:50 and was followed nine
minutes late by the Valky1ie.
At 1920 both yachts were making fast
time with wind and tide in their favor.
The Vigilant was then two and half
miles from the lightship and nearly
two miles before the Britisher. The
Vigilant held her lead to the end,
crossing the line at 3:31 1-2. The Val
kyrie finished at $3.50, Z 1-2 minutes be-
hind her American opponent.
