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 it's presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; ehectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It 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

TELLING SECRETS.

A Failing With Some People-..Tho Art OF
Not Listening.
We should never, never make conf
dencea There are scenes and hours
which prompt man to blab. In cer-
tain effects Of sunset and moonlight,
In long nocturnal smoke and palaver,
after dinner especially, the skeletons
in our cupboard begin to stir, to rattle
within US, to desire to show them
selves But these are not the circum-
stances which man feels inclined to
tell his wife. It is to a male friend he
is tempted to divulge them, or to
pretty and sympathetic lady. The
only policy is to bottle them judicious-
ly. They may only bore your friend,
thrilling as You may think them, or he
or she may babble of them till they
come round to the person whom you
are interested in keeping unacquainted
with the events or emotions.
A acknowledging should make us
check other men and women when they
begin to unpack their hearts. AS to
women, If they have taste for making
condolences, they are sure to make
them so often that one more does not
matter. Some men, and still more
some women, are born recipients of
condolences. People open out to them;
even strangers in railway carriages un-
veil their amours and regrets. To 9TH
er people, condolences are never made
by any one, whether because they look
unsympathetic,> or because they nip
them in the bud, or for some other good
reason. They have the less to regret,
and they are not tempted to blab.
Contrary to general opinion, we believe
that a secret is safer with q married
woman than with married man. A
man says, II will tell nobody; not
even my wife," and straightway goes
and tells her. Very often it leaves her
cold, though exciting to him, and so it
is safe. But married woman is much
less inclined to tell her husband. First,
she knows she can not trust him-for
does he not blab to her? Besides,
the secret often seems so humorous, or
SO important, or in itself so obvious,
that he let's it out without thinking of
1t. Besides woman has pleasure in
knowing what her husband does not
know (and possibly would not care to
know, while husband, in the good.
ness OF his heart. likes to carry bit of
1attle to his wife. So the male bird
ranging the wet lawns, comes home
with q nice worm for his mate. The
condolences of men to women are most
ly about their wives, and vice versa.
This is a kind of petty treason, and
such revelations should not be listened
to; but few ladies, it is believed, can
help listening. Of these confessions
the penitent is likely to repent, and
that peedily.-London News.
