Sign of an Active Brain.

Talking to ones self is generally con-
sidered a sign of a weak brain, says a
doctor, but nothing could be a greater
mistake. 1t is a sign of an extremely
active brain. 1t may be a strong or a
weak intellect, but the activity must
be there to cause this popularity. If
you will observe you Wi be astonished
how many people you will meet on the
street who are thinking aloud. The
talking is done unconsciouslv. Often
people addicted to the habit. if you call
their attention to it. would aver that
they never yer guilty of such a thing.
Some of the brightest men | have ever
known do their thinking aloud without
knowing it, and. on the other hand
some of the weakest individuals. mem
tally, whom | have met in my practice,
keep up a continuous conversation with
themselves. So it would seem that q
maj who talks to himself must be one
of two administration a wise man or
a fool.

Religion, as well as patriotism,
authorizes a profound respect for the
heroism Of those who have persisted
in the service Of their country. TO
lay d rosebud or a sprig OF cedar
therefore on the grave of a dead
soldier who has given his life as a
willing sacrifice TO the cause which
he loved is a religious az well az a
patriotic duty. 1t matters little
whether or not his cause succeeded:
the question is one Of devotion and
of loyalty to his principles. If he
was honest in his conceptions Of
right, he deserves to be remembered,
and he a wave the ephemeral salts
faction OF victory. Viewed in this
light the decoration Of the graves of
our confederate dead is full of SYM
bolic meaning ever to a reunited
country. 1t teaches us that patriot
ism is rooted in the love OF home,
and that he who is true to the mem
DRY of the dead is never recreant in
his duty to the living.

Bees and

"The industry of bees is proverbial.
and no less well known is their instinct
OF hierarchy and submission to the dis
cipline and government of the bee
kingdom-or rather queendom," said
an apiarist. Their instinct amounts
almost to human reason in these things,
but, as with the human race, they can,
under vicious habits, sadly degenerate.
Experiments have been made by DR..
Buchner in submitting working bees
to a regimen of alcoholized honey.
The effect is tonishing, and much
the same as in mankind. Not only do
they lose the Unborn hereditary in
stinct for work. but they will steal.
The hierarchy instinct is quickly lost
also. They revolt against their queen
and commanders, and give themselves
over to idleness. ~brigandage and pill

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 a perfect lax
alive efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and icv"r,
and permanently curing constipatic a.
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 mans
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being we'll informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

The Family Altar.

To descant on virtue is nonsense.
Men must see it. feel it, and be in
spired 10y it, both from teaching and
example. TO talk in gilded general
ties to a %succulent, flabby young life
is no more effective than presenting
to it a marble statue of virtue. The
cry goes up, when TOO late, over the
untimely and tragical end Of young
men, usually from homes where there
has been no family altar. Here is
born loyalty to God and country;
here is gained that steadfastness
which temptation cannot cause to
finch. Here is made the first and
most last impression upon the minds
of children. Before they a under
stand connected discourse, they will
catch snatches of petitions which
will hold them steady amidst the
storms and trials of life, and on
which they will mediate in the
night watches. There is not another
such moral educator in the world as
the family altar. Here the helm of
the soul is grasped. There is no such
Matchmaker Good habits are
anchors with flukes inserted aDid-
ingly into life, There is no power
oyer the young like hearing their
safety talked about in the ears OF
Cod.

Everyone has heard of luminous
plants and shrubs" said q gentleman Of
Nevada, but comparatively few people
are aware of the existence in our State
of a luminous tree of la"ge proper
lions. The Indians have always enter
tanned a wholesome dl cad Of this tree
and have a number of legends connect
ed with it. 1t is a valuable landmark
at night, as it can be seen half a mile
away, and the phosphorus substance
which eXudes from it is SO powerful

One City Alone Sends Out 10000 Ounces
Monthly.
A traveller recently returned from a
trip through the go'd-producing re-
glcns of South Africa, states that 10.
hannesburg sends out monthly ITO, 900
ounces of pure gold. valued roughly at
tant when that amount will be doubled,
for it is already in sight. 1t is also
certain that other parts of the Trans
vaal will soon be sending out their
golden treasures, for it is a country
which gives abundant evidence of vast
stores of the precious metal. Many new
and rich reefs have been discovered
this year, and experts say that they
can be worked for thirty years. The
managers of the ,nines-British CAPT.
talists-prefer native labor and do all
they can to retain it. The Zulu laborer
earns so much money that in a few
months he would be rich if his savings
We're not reduced by his expenditure
for liquor, the use of which is encour-
aged by the government. because of
the revenue derived from it, and by
the mine managers, who, by keeping
the labOrers in poverty, are able to
secure their services for a greater
length OF time. An ordinary Zulu can
earn three or four dollars a week be-
sides his %rations in mining, but he
spends all he earns, and so is chained
to the mines. During the past seven
years johannesburg has grown rapidly.
1t is, perhaps, destined to be the larg-
est of South African cities, as it is al
ready the center OF the largest gold
fields of the world.

This testimony from a man who

thoughtful men in leading them to
