message concludes:
The length of recent sessions of the Legisla-
ture affords just cause for complaint and pub
lie opinion demands a reform In this respect
There are two principal causes of the evil. One
Is the existing method of dealing with munich
pal charters, which consume large portion of
every session in the consideration of separate
bills. The other Is the practice by the members
OF accepting free passes. IL they were
obliged to pay their own travelling expenses
most members would remain at the Capitol
and attend to their duties. but with free trans
portation experience has shown that they will
vote TO adjourn from Friday night to Monday
night, and the result Is only four working days
in the week. The Legislatureo which shall enact
general laws for the incorporation of cities
and villages, and shall do away with the evils
of the free pass system, will earn the lasting
gratitude OF the people.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter thanothers 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 a perfect lax
alive; efectually 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

A Water Telescone.

Perhaps some Of the boys living on
the seacoast may be pleased to know
how a water telescope, such as the
Norwegian fishermen use to ascertain
the position of herring shoals, is con
structed.
Procure a tube made of tin, and
funnel-shaped, about three and Q
half feet long and nine inches in dia-
meter at the broad end. IL should be
wide enough at the top to take In the
observers eyes, and the inside should
be painted black.
At the bottom or wide end a clear,
thick piece Of glass must be inserted,
with a little lead in the form Of a
ring to weight the tube. When the
instrument is immersed in clear
water it is astonishing how many
fathoms down the observer can see.

quantities of silver from the Indians

precious metal remained in the vi

A LADY of tho white HOUSE,

Dollie Madison was the second OF
six children In family Of Friends,
and was named for her aunt, Mrs
Patrick Henry. When she" started
out for the village school where most
Of her education was received, her
mother always sewed her sunbonnet
under her pretty chin and covered her
face with linen mask to protect the
delicate complexion. At 10 she was
tall, slender, graceful, with dazzling
complexion and sweet blue eyes. She
refused Mr.. John Todd, a wealthy
young lawyer, and said that she never
intended to marry; but by the re-
quest OF her father, reconsidered and
accepted the young man. After three
happy years Mr. Todd died. and q
few years later James Madison, who
was considered an incorriglble bach
elor became her husband and she
went to grace the White House.

Rothsohild,s Advice.

There are many stories told con-
corning the house Of Rothschild and
the part its members have played in
averting financial crises. OF course,
that assistance which the present
head Of the London firm gave to the
Egyptian ExcheQuer at critical mo-
ment and under circumstances which
elected a cordial recognition from
Lord Granville in the Lords is being
recalled. However, the most inter-
esting incident refers to the panic of
1925. The Duke of Wellington sent
for Nathan Rothschild one morning,
to ask his advice.

be done for the city?" asked the
Duke.
"Send down Cole" replied the la

reply. "Send him down to buy half

The advice was acted on and the
panic was stopped. Nathan Roths-
child was the hero of another inter
esting incident, There was a run on
the once well-known bank Of Master
mans. Rothschilds was urged by his
friends to withdraw his account. He
at once walked down to the bank,
which he found besieged by an angry
crowd. Tossing bulky packet to a

Thieves with TeIl.TaIe Ewes.

IL can always defect a thief by the
expression of his eyes," said a noted
detective the other day. ~There are
few thieves who will look squarely at
you unless they are obliged to do so.
They will avoid your glance as long
as they can, and even when they do
face you and gaze steadily at you it
is always with the same expression.
Although their eyes may be wide
open and the gaze apparently steady,
you will see, If you look closely, that
there is something away back through
the corner trying to avoid you, l
have picked out numbers of thieves
by this little lodging movement. 1
never saw a thief who was free
from it.
Everybody has met that man who
resolutely refuses to meet steady
gaze for more than three or four
seconds at time. 1t is not fair to
say that all such persons are dis
honest In many cases this peculi-
arity is direct result of bashfulness.
In Others 1t is caused by weakness
of vision or nervous affection. A
little close observation will enable
the observer to put persons in the
class to which they belong. The
man whose eye is almond shaped is
almost always dishonest at heart, II
not in overt act. The eyes of some
of the most notorious thieves in the
country are Of this pattern, and the
expression given the face by this
sort of eye is very striking"
