A GOOD DOG STORY.

A writer in St. Nicholas tells Of
visiting party OF friends In the

daily welcomed. Among the valued
possessions OF my friends" he con-
tinue', was an English mastif
named Rex, which belonged to one OF
the gentlemen. The good under.

reason TO know that kex's broad grin
was no mere notion, hut on the con-

his trust as he understood IL.
Il talked 70 him again, set down
the kettle and attempted to leave

had his doubts and determined togive
his masters the lcneit OF them.
There was no help for IL; was held

break in the eggs, put ON each one a

they do not cook too hard. They are
very nice to prepare in the same way
and then steam instead Of baking.

take. The manufacture Of snuff is a

ess that sometimes takes ten or twelve
weeks. They are then ground TO pow.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends 20 personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by moro 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
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because il acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free fiom
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
sists 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,
and being we'll informed, you will not
accept any substitute If offered.

A Cyclone Story.

One OF the most peculiar results OF
last sundays cyclone can be seen in
East Jacksonville. A large oak tree
was twisted by the force OF the wind
half way round, yet rsmained up
right, and there are no splits or
cracks visible upon It's surface. This
In itself would not be so peculiar
were IL not for the fact that the tree
still stays In It's new position, and
the limbs which were previously on
the west side are now on the east
The body OF the tree is probably split
so that it will eventually die, but the
bark seems TO have remained un-
broken and intact, and therein lies
the peculiarity.--Florida Times

Deaf Pupils Learning.

Nearly all the larger pupils of the Port
land School for the Deaf are now occupying
two hours of their time each afternoon in
learning trades. Places for them have been
obtained in various establishments where
those in charge take real Interest in the
boys and girls and help them along as much
as possible. Nothing but God reports come
from the places where these young people
are employed. They are uniformly quick
to learn and they apply themselves diligent-
ly. Two of the larger boys are working
afternoons in the city carpenter shop on
South street. under theinstruo ton of Mr..
Redlon. They are making rapid progress
and by the time they finish their school life
will be competent to earn their living in
any carpenters shop. The plan of Miss
Taylor, the principal of the school. to have
her pupils learn something besides school
room studies is meeting with a large meas
ure of sue cess. 1t is question as to
whether it is not better for the young people
than the instruction in shops which they
get at the larger institutions. ri
