writer for young people advises
that they read always with an atlas
and dictionary at hand, and carefully
locate every place mentioned, as well
as look up the meaning of all the
words new to them. This might
make slow work of reading, but think
how much knowledge one could thus
acquire. The same writer urges boys
and girls to read aloud in the home as
often as they can and practice on the
article they are to read until they
can do it so we'll that it will be :,
pleasure to hear them.

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
alive; effectualy cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation;
It has given satisfaction to millions and
net 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 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
-.ccept any substitute if offered.

What pretty things can be made out
of paper? Here is ncedle-case made
by Il little girl about 10 years old. She
made it for her mother and did it
without any help. 1t is such dear
little thing that all girls should make
one for their own work baskets. The
little girl who made this one does not
like to sew; SO she managed to con-
trivc the whole thing without taking
"A stitch. First she got n piece of stiif
drawing paper and cut it ten inches
long and four inches wide. This she
marked off with dotted lines. Along
the lines she cut to n point, and
through it made short slit
with n pcn-knifc. Through this she
pushed the end of n ribbon, and fast
cncd another ribbon in the same man
ner. She then got some bits of pink
cashmere, which had been left over
from her last party dress. She pinlsed
the edges and fastened them together
with piece of pale pink ribbon,
threaded in and out through little
holes she had cut in the cashmere.
She fastened this to the inside of the
case with mucilage, and then made
another for the love-: half of the case
The decoration ON the outside, the
maker explained, was an original de
sign. The flowers are of the same
shade of pink as the ribbon. and the
dots are put on with gold paint.
