A boy was once brought before "Old
Steady Baker, the mayor of Folkestone,
for stealing gooseberries. Baker turned
over Burns Justice" but not being able
to find the article he wanted in the book.
which is alphabetically arranged. he lift
ed up his spectacles and addressed the
culprit thus: MY lad, it's very lucky for
you that, instead of stealing gooseber-
ries, you were not brought here for steal
ing goose. There is a statute against
stealing geese, but 1 can't find anything
about gooseberries in all Burn, so let the
prisoner be discharged, forI suppose it is
no offense. San Francisco Argonaut.

LIFE OR DEATH

1t is Of vital importance hat it should be I'M
derstood by persons whose kidneys are inactive
that this condition of things is finally inductive
OF a state of the organs where life hangs in the
balance Bright's disease, diabetes, albuminuria
are all diseases OF very obstinate character in
their mature stage, and all have fatal tendency.
They often battle the most practced medical
skill and the most approved remedies OF mate
ria medica But opposed at the outset-that is
to say, when the kidneys begin to discharge
Stomach Bitters, the dangerous tendency Is
checked. Very useful also is this household
medicine for those ailments of common oCCnr'
renee constipation, biliousness, dyspepsia and
Nervousness. 1t is a safeguard against malaria

welshmen In the United States.

Wales says western Welshman, has
given three presidents to the United States
Jefferson, Adams and Monroe, Thomas
Jefferson was pure Welsh, too, and the
Welshmen of New York are now organizing
movement to erect a grand monument to
him. There are 100000 Welsh and their
immediate descendants in this country, and
over 100000 pure Welsh and their first de
scendants. The Welsh, Irish and Scotch
are, in my opinion, all otfshoots of the little
band of Aryans that passed over from Lit
tie Brittany and settled on what are now
the British isles. New York Tribune

Flowers at Death.

Why should you carry white flowers
to the house of death, save, indeed it be
a little child that has died? Is not death
colder itself than any ice flower and
whittier than any snow? Why not bring
crimson roses and pile them about those
cheeks from which the roses have fed,
that they may catch something of their
oldtime glow? Why not lay claret car
nations near those dear lips and heap
blood-red peoples in the cold hands and
on the colder breast that they may at
least seem to press a little warmth there?
And about that brow, that was for SO
long a time the home of tender soul,
put white narcissus blooms with their
hearts of gold; and cover over the slen-
der body down to the quiet feet with the
wild pink roses that she so loved. Do
not let your last remembrance of her
be of something all white, all cold, but
let little warmth go with her even into
the grave.-Ella Higginson in West
Shore,

Auction Sales.

Sales by auction, SO far from being
an invention of late years, were known
as far back as the time Of the Romans.
1t is supposed by some that they chiefly
used the plan to dispose of the spoils
taken in war. AS these sales were said
to take place under the spear, it is fair
to conclude that they stuck long spear
in the ground to mark the place where
the sale would be held. 1t was long
the custom in England to mark the
time during which bids might be offer
ed by burning an inch of candle, the
last offer before the light went out be-
ing of course the one that took the arti-
Gle ON sale. This custom led many to
make no bid until tho candle was near
ly out, and many often delayed so long
that the end of the fame still found
them silent. Louis Globe-D

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
'ess 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 perfect lax
alive; effectually 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
news, 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
nfactured 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.

KIDNEY TROUBLE.

Some most excruciatng pain comes from
arrangement of the kidneys. This is the
testimony Senator Henry G. Nelson of New
York as to the value of ALLcocK's Porous
PLAsTERs in such cases:
"On the 9th Of February, 1883, l was
taken with violent pain in the region of
the Kidneys. | suffered such agony that |
could hardly stand up. As soon as possible
l applied two ALI COCKS Porous PLAsTERs,
one over each kidney, and lay down. In
an hour, to my surprise and delight, the
pain had vanished, ana was We'll. wore
the plasters for day or two as precau-
ton and then removed them. | have been
using ALLcoCK's Porous PLAsTERs in my
family for the last ten years, and have al
ways found them the quickest and best
remedy for colds, strains and rheumatic
affections From my experience | believe
they are the best plasters in the world"
BRANDRErH's PILLS tone up the system.

NEVER roo LATE OR TOO soon.

There is more lost in life from putting Off
from to-day ti'l tomorrow what might be
done OF the ustant than from any other

wrecked, and in minor things it will not do
to delay and tfine. A man hobbling on

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot fench the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caufed by an in.
famed condition of the mucous lining OF the
eu~tachian tube When this tube is nhamed
you have rumbling sou d or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases ouC OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is moth ng but an 1ntlamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

The Bicycle Races.

The first races of the season were held al
the track on Monday afternoon, and were wit
messed by a very large crowd. The ladies
were out in force and were as interested and
enthusiastic as any Of the cyclists themselves.
The first race was the closest aud most ex-
citing, the winner crossing the line just a foot
or so ahead of the second man.
Sol Ryttenberg was entered for the first
race, but failed to get a good start and his
wheel fell under him. The time made was
considered fast for a new track, and the pros
pect is that races during the season will be
fast.
The races were as follows:
