bic, having not even a landing place
for the smallest boat. Rising perpen-
dicularly from the water their bases
have been tunneled by the busy waves
beating against them for thousands of
years; the pillows rush into the cav
erns with sound like boom of thun-
der, rush out again like pent up
flood. and with force that no boat
could withstand, so that, sometimes
for miles, no spot. can be found where
even the nimblest sailor could leap in
William Tell fashion from the boat to
the shore. But the mighty cliffs and
cone shaped rocks that rear their
heads among the clouds are not left in
solitude, even though their tops have
never been tro den by the foot OF man.
Millions of wild fowl Of every kline
have their nests among the crags, and
fly to and fro in midair suspended far
above the range of the sportsman
shot. Ordinarily, almost unseen, save
for one sailing out or lazily returning,
fish laden, to Its nest, no idea
can he formed of their numbers. The
discharge OF a gun brings them out by
thousands: the air is darkeneO with
their numbers; the ear is offended by
their noisy remonstrances against the
invasion of their solitude. When
winter approaches they gather and
leave for the south in vast flocks.
Every peasant in Central and Western
Europe is familiar with the sight and
sound of these aerial armies passing far
above his head, and has learned by
their movements to Judge of the near
approach of cold or warm weather.
They are true tourists. All day long,
with noisy ciamor, they travel; at
night, well aware of the danger, they
descend in lerfect stiffness, feed and
rest. A passer-by might walk within
fifty feet of a thousand of them and
not hear a single sound. They are not
bothered with waiting for trains or
making connections, or paying hotels
or tipping the lazy waters who do
more waiting in the kitchen than at
the table. For thousands of miles they
travel, and the birds that spend the
summer among the barren rocks of
Norway pass the winter among the
wild rice marshes of Central Africa.
The Norwegians they have left be-
hind would be glad to go with them,
for Norway is not over cheerful even
when summer is at its height, and the
sun wheels round the horizon instead
of sinking below, but in winter the

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; 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 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
accept any substitute if offered.

the consciences of the Norwegian }
ought never to give them moments
disquietude, for In no part of the world,
save the north coast of Lake Superior
is there a grander spectacle than in
almost any inlet on the Norway sea-
line. Some one has said all Norway is
but one grand mountain after another,
and to this statement any one who
sails along the coast Is forced to give
in his adhesion. II may also be re-
marked that the seaboard is really only
one inlet after another, for so numer-
Gus are the islands along the coast that
1t is possible in places to sail for many
miles in the narrow passa res between
islands and the main land and rarely
catch more than a glimpse OF the sea
without.
The islands are worthy OF the name.

a great future before Norway and Swe-

desolation becomes tenfold more ap-
parent, and the limi ed resources Of
the inhabitants are taxed to the ut
most to get through the season. More
than one Arctic explorer has given a
graphic pic ,ure OF the horrors of a
winter in the fro en- north: but to The
Norsemen every winter is an Arctic
winter, and the inconvenience and
suffering of which the explorers com
plain so bitterly are by him borne as
matter OF cou Sc. To him tempera
ture of 40 to so degrees below zero
does not seem excessively cold, for he
is prepared for it. Well protec ed

foot, well provided within with an
abundant supply of fish and oily food,
his system defies the cold, and without
injury he endures temperature that
would speedily prove fatal to the in

bride can, for a day, look as gorgeous
as queen. Many of these wedding
crowns are 600 or 700 years old, and
were worn by Morse b ides at time
when the memories of the viking in
vasions were still fresh along the Ger

odor of sanctity about these articles OF
personal adornment which renders
their presence almost as necessary at
a wedding as that of the preacher. In

story Of the coqeettish articles. Near
Paris, and to the disgust of the neigh

bodies Of all sorts are daily thrown; cats,
dogs, horses, donkeys, etc. At regular
intervals one opens In the catacombs a
gate which leads into a long passage, at

as large as ordinary cats, precipl-
tate themselves on the feast ready
for them and eat everything 10

after their CHASTITY meal. Then they
become fat, heavy, and sleepy, so they
find nothing so handy as the holes ar
ranged for them along the foot OF the
wall which surrounds the pond, and in
which they creep slowly for comfort
