KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life moro, with
less expenditure, by moro promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
tho value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in tho
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
alive; cffectually 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 ST bottles, but it is mah-
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every

An examination of the statistics OF
horses, horned cattle, sheep and swine
of the country shows some surprising
things to the American Dairyman.
Placing our population at $1,000, 000
we find that there is but one horse for
every four and small fraction of our
per capita. That there are but trife
over three-fourths of horned cattle for
every unit of population, while theirs
are about thirds of a sheep for
every person of the population. From
this we can gather the Importance of
the labor of the farmer. Without his
crops we should soon be on the verge
of starvation. With this condition con.
fronting us, civilization would soon
disappear and man become barbarian
if he did not descend still lower in the
scale of life. This should teach lis the
importance and dignity of the farmers
calling and our absolute dependence Oh
his LABOR.

Covering Bald Head With Frog Skin.

Doctor John Eye, Readings skin
grating specialist, who year ago or
more gained considerable notoriety by
successfully transplnnting skin from
the forearm of colored man to the
leg of white man, and who subse-
quently manufactured dime museum
freak by planting flowing mustache
upon the upper lip of a handsome
young woman, is continuing his ex-
periments in that direction. The doc
tors latest achievement, performed
with every evidence of success is that
of supplying baldheaded man with
covering of hair that football player
might envy. The patient upon whom
this operation was performed is Charles
Mueller, of Washington, and the SUBJ
ject from whom the material was drawn
to cover the bare spot on the patients
head was Mr.. Gertiesu.
Doctor Eye removed from the head
of Gertiesu piece of scalp II inches
wide by q inches long, well covered
with hair, and replanted it upon the
head of Mueller. The soreness created
by the removal of portion of Ger
tiesu's scalp is almost healed, the doc
tor having SO skilfully drawn the lacer-
ated scalp together as to almost remove
all evidence of its removal with the ex-
ception OF two small spaces, which he
purposely left with the view of further
experiments. He will cover those spots
with hair-covered skin taken from some
animal, and upon the successful at
tachment of that transplanted animal
skin upon the head of Gertiesu de-
pends the fate of the future baldheaded
men.
If the doctor be successful the bald
heads will no longer be compelled to
hide their badness under the old
fashioned uncomfortable wig, but can
simply surrender themselves to the
doctor and have transplanted to their
pates the covering of some other fel-
low who is willing to surrender his
head for golden salye, Philadelphia

cheaper, l determined, If l ever went to New

THE OK TEAM.

sit upon my OK team, calm,
Beneath the lazy sky.
And crawl contented through the land
And let the world go by.
The thoughtful OK has learned to wait
And nervous impulse smother,
And ponder long before he puts
One foot before the other.
And men with spanking teams pass by
And dish upon their way.
AS If it were their hope to find
The worlds end in dav,
And men dash by in palace cars,
On me dark frowns they cast,
As the lightning-driven Present frowns
Upon the slow old Past.
Whit do they chase. these men OF steam
Their smoke-1ags wide unfurled,
Pulled by the roaring fire-iend
That shakes the reeling world?
What do you seek. ye men OF steam,
So wild and mad you press2
Is this, is this the railroad limo
That leads to happiness?
And when you've swept across the day
And dashed across the night,
Is there some station through the hill
Where men can find delight?
All, toward the Depot OF Content
Where no red signals stream,
go by ox-team just as quick
As you can go by steam.

there has been no complaint of them.
That is about their life in the United

used them. There is no doubt that
they have established themselves by
merit alone. They cure rheumatism,
dyspepsia. piles. liver complaint,
biliousness, and any disease arising
from an impure state of the blood.
One or two at night on an empty
stomach, for a week or two, will keep

absolutely harmless and safe to take
at any time.

The Spring,
d. EARHART.

OF all seasons in the yea', is tie ono
for making radical changes in regard
to health. During tho winter the
system becomes to q certain extent
clogged with waste, and the blood
loaded with impurities, owing to lack
of exercise, close confinement in
poorly ventilated shops and homes,
and other causes. This is the cause
of the dull, sluggish, tired feeling SC
general at this season, and which
must be overcome, or the health may
be entirely broken down. Hood
Sarsaparilla has attained the creates,
popularity ali over the country as the
favorite Spring Medicine. 1t expels
the accumulation OF impurities through
the bowels, kidneys, liver, lungs and
skin. gives to the blood the purity and
quality necessary to good health, and
overcomes that tired feeling.
