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 prodScts to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ativc; effectually cleansing the system,
6ispclling 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 50c 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,

Floating Palaces.

Sir Nathaniel Barnaby, the chief con-
structor of the British navy, has given
the weight of his high reputation to the
possibility of constructing ship for At
lantic navigation which will be 900 feet
long and 300 feet broad, with engines of
10000 horsepower and an ocean speed of
Is knots. The ship he described as a
"steel island" which will be incapable of
entering any dock, at any rate as at pres
emit constructed, having several engines
working side by side. He thinks that a
draft of 26 feet of water need never be
exceeded.
II do firmly believe" said Sir Nathan
iel, "that we shall get the mastery over
the seas, and that we shall live more hap
PLY in a marine residence, capable of
steaming 10 knots an hour, than we can
ever live in a seaside town. This project
is not, however, intended to shorten the
duration of a transatlantic voyage, but
to make it more tolerable while it lasts.
Most of the efforts hitherto made to deal
with the problem of Atlantic navigation
have aimed at speed as the first essen
tial, and have left out of account the pos
sibility of making such mechanical pro-
visions against NAL de mer as would en-
able the most squeamish of passengers
to contemplate an Atlantic voyage with
perfect equanimity. In this direction
the achievements of the last half century
have been truly marvellous. "-Manufac

a little suspicious" Mr.. Cleveland said.
The nurse came in promptly, but with
out Ruth. She put her foot down, as
women will sometimes, and declared:
"She shall not have her picture taken
today. If she should, Mr.. Cleveland will
never live to be inaugurated." That set
tied it, for the will of Ruth's custodian
was law in that household. Then l
turned to Mr.. Cleveland and asked him
to sit for me.

photographers bother me great deal,
and do not care much about having my
picture taken"
LET me take you standing in front of
your house. Possibly YOU may not care
particularly now, but 10 years hence
these pictures will recall pleasant days

The idea seemed to strike him favor
ably.

A Ringing Letter from Colorado

CANON CITY, Colo, February 10, 1894.
Dear OpiniOn--It is not unreasonable to
suppose that you sons of Vermont, who
are filled brim full of the offerings of the
prejudiced ''press' of New York City and
New England, fully believe that since the
decentralization of silver last October, Colo
rado is practically wiped off the face of the
earth-and that when the busy miner and
husbandman enriched the people of the
earth with the products of his labor, where
now only remains what was known in the
''sixties" as the American Desert" inhab-
tied by the cuyote and buffalo. But this is
in no sense the case-fOr Colorado stands
today better prepared to care for herself
and buffet the adversely of the times than
ever before.
True, the ''gOld cure" injected into Con-
gress by Wall and Lombard streets,
through the medium of a partisan president
struck deadly blow to one of our princi-
pal industries and necessitated the closing
down of hundreds OF mines and mills In
our towns and cities, and throwing thOus-
ands of men out of employment yet-like
the "carOm" on billiard ball-aS soon as
we recovered from the first shock of sur
prise and found out where we were att
we Immediately went TO work in the deve-
Opement of other industries which had
been allowed to lay dOrment-and what is
the result-COlOrad0 is today producing
more gold than any other state in the
Union, she is producing more coal than any
other state in the Union, she is manufac-
turing more steel rails than any other state
she is building more railroads than all the
balance of the Union, she has a smaller
percentage of unemployed men from cases
of restitution and fewer paupers than any
other state, besides she has more iron ore
than Missouri and more coal than Pennsyl-
vania and more granite, marble, onyx,
gypsum, lime stone, sand stone, and slate
than any single state, and her resources
are as yet but beginning to be developed.
Your readers have doubtless all heard of
the recently discovered gold fields of Grip
pie Creek situated twenty-six miles from
this place, and towards which the Colorado
Midland railroad is building from the
north and the Florence and Cripple Greek
railroad, branch of the Denver and Rio
Grande railroad, is building from the south,
both expecting to have trains running into
the camp by April 18th. Last week a ma
tive born son of Vermont. who has lease
upon the Clarified and Grouse" group of
mines, shipped four car loads Of ore from
this point to the Pueblo smeiter, and which
Melted him after paying all freights and
smelter charges from $1,000 for the poorest
ear up 20 Si0,046.60 for the richest car
Just think of it, a fortune made in one
shipment of mineral, and there are thous-
ands Of ear loads remaining untouched.
You can be well assured that Colorado is
all right, and the statement made by Horace
Greeley years ago "Go west young man" is
as true today as the day it was uttered.
Hoping that health and prosperity may
attend all of those who remain in dear old
Orange County.

A QUEER DIVORCE CASE.
Unusual and Extreme Cruelty without Ro.
course to Personal Violence.

Unusual and Extreme Cruelty without Ro-
course to Personal Violence.
The counsel in recent divorce case,
remarkable even in the annals of the Chi
cago courts, sought to defeat the plain
tiff's case on slender technicality, but
fortunately without avail. The wife, who
sought the divorce, was a particularly
mild and obedient person, and the hus-
band had an ingenious method of infict-
ing cruelty without resorting frequently
to personal violence. He compelled her
after her marriage to send word to her
father and to her uncles and aunts, with
whom she had lived, that she wished
nothing more to do with them. The let
ters, which were dictated by him, and
which she was compelled to send theIs,
contained insulting and contemptuous
expressions.
At the least sign Of q failure to obey
him promptly the husband directed his
wife to stay in bed for periods of from a
day to two or three weeks, only allow
ing her to rise to prepare his meals or to
attend to the horses. When she was
sick, he pushed her on one occasion to
the floor, and when she cried he told her
that she could stay in bed day for ev-
cry sob and counted them until the
number of II was reached, and then d.
rected her to stay in bed II days and
water.
On one occasion he made her stay all
night in the buggy shed, though he gave
her a revolver with which she could
alarm him if burglar disturbed her. He
took her young nursing baby away from
her and sent it away without allowing
her to know where it was until a month
or two later, when she finally revolted
and began the divorce suit. The details
of the case were most heartrending, and
Chief Judge Tuley, before whom the
case was tried, said that the facts showed
case of cruelty to which in over 40
years of experience at the bar and on the
bench he had never known the equal.
The law in Illinois, however, requires
that extreme and repeated cruelty"
must be shown, and it has been held
that to constitute that charge there must
be more than one act of physical violence
shown. An attempt was made to pre-
vent the divorce on the ground that the
defendant did not violently lay his hands
upon his wife except on one occasion,
when he pushed her to the floor.
Judge Tuley, however, breaks away
from the old rules, although he says the
tearing away of the child from the arms
of the mother might be considered a Sec
ond act of personal violence. He holds
that there may be the most extreme
cruelty inflicted on refined and deli
cate woman which would not be cruelty
toward coarse and brutal nature. The
Chicago Legal News protests against the
attempt to follow in Illinois the anti
quated rule based on the case 100 years
old that there must be at least two acts
of physical violence.-New York Trib-
