of Connecticut fishermen planned
the capture of the British sloop-of-

based on the well-known fondness of
British naval officers for mutton.

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 embrHced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to it's presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and trul--
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

"HaiI to 1he Chief,r

This is half the title of an old song The bal.
ance is, 'Who in triumI h advances" The pub
lie, the press and the medical profession chant
this refrain as especially applicable to Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, chief among American
remedies and preventives for malaria, constipa-
ton, dyspepsia, liver complaint, nervousness,
unquiet sleep, rheumatic twinges and the
troubles incident to advanced age. 1t is also
universally recognized as a reliable tonic and
appetizer. As a family medicine particularly
suitable to emergencies it has no equal. The
nervous, the feeble seek its aid, and the happi-
est results follow. The convalescent, the aged
and the infrm derive infinite benefit from its
use Against the influences of impure air, bad
water, unaccustomed food, overwork and ex-
posure it is a genuine preventive.

John Martin Did 1t.

Under the new tariff there is diff
ferential tax of one eighth a cent of a
pound on refined sugar. That is, there
is tax on the raw sugar and an addi-
tional protection to the sugar trust of
one-eighth of cent on every pound

membrane by the constituents of Sen

Increased Trade oil the south.

Very significant, indeed are the
figures of the bureau Of statistics
showing the exports from the United
States in the eleven months ended
May 81, 1894. The total was 1884, 0O0,-
900, against 1892, 900, 900 in the like
period of the preceding year, an in
crease of 1000, 900. But more than
half of this increase was in exports
from the South, showing the decided
revival of business activity in that
section. The exports from Southern
ports aggregated S2e5, 700, 900, or
S27, 900, 900 more than in eleven
months Of the year ended May 81,
1893. Baltimore's exports aggrega
ted S73, 963, 900; those of Charleston,

So, 999, 900. These totals, as respects
some of the ports, are surprising. The

also surprising. Baltimore's increase

Powder the highest honors
At the recent Worlds Fair the examina-

been made public, shows the leavening
strength of the Royal to be 100 cubic inches
