KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
tel lhan 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; effectually cleansing the system,
dispellng 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 al 1stitute if offered.

The Value Of Politeness.

The phase man was dilating on the
value of politeness everywhere, but
especially in stores, and remarked that
he would discharge clerk for impo-
likeness or inattention quicker than he
would for petty theft.
An old resident of Roxbury over
heard the remark and, MS an illustra-
ton of the Importance of politeness on
the part of statesmen, said:
ga good many years ago I went to
New York in company with my friend
B. One snowy day we strolled into
A. 7. Stewards store. Neither of us
intended to make q purchase. We
merely went there as a matter of curl
osity.
Sat the door we were met by po-
lite gentleman, who insisted that he
should take our overconts and umbrel-
las to relieve us of the burden of car
rylng them about the store. We told
him we were not intending to pur-
chase anything, but that made no diff
ference IN his attentions. Another
equally polite gentleman insisted on
escorting Us through the building.
The fact that we did not intend to pur-
chase goods did not lessen his cour.

shawls which had just been received.

him, and little later 1 purchased q

store neither of us had the slightest
intention of making purchase of any.
thing, but the politeness of that clerk
put more than $4,000 into the till Of
A. t. Stewart which would not have
been there otherwise.
"You are quite right in emphasizing
the value of politeness. 1t is the most
valuable commodity a man or woman
can carry about. 1t may sometimes be
misplaced, butin the long run it pays.

just entered his store when he heard
rattle at the door. He opened it and
let in man with very anxious coun-

"No, for it takes eggs three minutes
to boil, and if they are not good they
must be done over. Best have them

Quickest way! I'm in an awful
hurry"
The breakfast was eaten in short or
der, really bolted down. The man
jumped up, hurried to the counter,
and paid the bill. AS he did so he
looked up at the clock and then pulled
out his watch. "Good heavens" he
said. sis that clock right?"
He was informed that it was and
looked sheepish.

CULINARY CURIOSITIES.

Several dozens of wooden and metal
spoons have been found in Roman
graves.
Loaves of bread charred to a mass
of black coal have been taken from the
Pompeiian ovens.
Earthen dishes are large enough to
hold the carcass of lamb were found
in the Pompeiian kitchens.
Several knives, evidently intended
for table use, have been found in the
catacombs near Memphis.
One street in Pompeii was called
"Street of Dried Fruits, and in the
shops considerable quantities of figs,
raisins, plums and other fruits were
found.
A frying pan with legs about six
inches long is among the curiosities

of all cases of consumption can, if taken in
the earlier stages of the disease be cured.
This may seem like n bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener-
ally in use for its treatment as, nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract
of malt, whiskey, different preparations of
hypophosphites and such like balf1tiVeS.
Although by many believed to be incura-
BILE there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption IS q durable
disease. Not every case but Il large per-
ceRtage Of cases, and we believe, fHllY %
Per cent. are cured by Dr. PierCe'S Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with cOpious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular matter, great loss OF flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases Of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, i'll curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
aud various preparations of the hypophos-
phtes had also been faithfully tried in vain.

that if people did not cry hard times
there would be no hard times. 1t is

are posted in the affairs of our ma

The bolt of the sugar planters of
Louisiana is just what might have
been expected Of any intelligent
men under similar circumstances.
They find that the industry by which
they live and upon the perpetuation
whereof the civilization of their Sec
ton depends is marked for destruc'
ton by the Democratic party. Nat
urally, they conclude that political
alliance is no longer to their interest,
and the formation Of another with a
party that has by every act shown a
friendly interest, was a logical and
foregone conclusion. There is no
occasion for the establishment and
chagrin SO profusely manifested by
Democratic organs and leaders. The
people of Louisiana are not in pol
itics for sentiment, and they would
be little if any better than idiots if
they were. The sugar growing in
dustfy represents an invested capital
Of hundreds OF millions of dollars.
1t represents an interstate commerce
of more than $50,0O0,000 per annum.
1t represents four tifths of the tax
able property in the state and the
livelihood of two.thirds of the popu
lation. The sugar growing question
is practically question of the pros
perity of half million human be
ings. Ii is not question of doc
trine or metapEysirs-it is one Of
existence.
