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 wo,ld's 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.
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,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

HIS TRUE FRIEND.

And He Didn't Understand why the Other
Wanted to Break 1t Up.
Witherby-Let' see, how long have
we known each other? :.
Bellnob-About all our lives, guess.
Remember how we used to play togeth-
er when we were boys?
Witherby-Do / 4! And just think, old
fellow, how we have been such close
friends all these years.
Bellnob-That's so.
Witherby-Never cross word, never
misunderstanding of any kind. tell
you, it's just such close companionships
as ours that make life worth living.
Bellnob (much affected )-That's so,
that's so.
Witherby-But that isn't what was
thinking of at first. / was thinking of
this: Has it ever occurred to you what
strange thing it is that our wives have
never met?
Bellnob-By Jove, that is singular,
now that you come to speak of it,
Witherby-Isn' it? Here we have
been SO close to each other too Well,
it's never too late to mend. We must
arrange to have them meet at once.
Bellnob (excitedly)-Old man, do you
want to break up our friendship.

THE JEWEL CASKET.

The constantly increasing use Of en-.
amel is the most obvious tendency in
ornamentation.
A stiokpin that holds its own through
various notifications is the little pref
zellike coil of gold or silver, either by
itself or ensnaring tiny stone.
Twin serpents interlaced are among
the various designs for necklet bars
slender spirals starred with tiny lilies,
each end terminating in a flower de- luce,

curving spokes and large stone for the

Some recent letter writers in various
newspapers have been complaining that
Boston is provincial in several respects.
So it is. But the charge may be extend
ed to the state just as well. It is said to
be possible to imprison a man for debt
in Massachusetts, barbarous as it is
looked upon in other regions, and it is
said to be possible, too, for creditor to
intercept the salary of man with o
family, except $40 a week, and this,
too, even if there are a dozen in the
family, and the Judgment debt is really
another persons. When one learns Of
such things as these, one ceases to won
der at the extent of the emigration from
regions where such things are possible.

ASKING THE CAPTAIN.
Just What Happened Whom Information

Just What Happened Whom Information
Was Sought From the Commander.
"Once on an ocean steamer, said a
traveller, I'VE had e heated shaft bear
ing, or something of that sort, SO that
the engines stopped for five or six hours
had often read and heard about how
the captain was the great mogul aboard
ship, how about all things pertaining
to the affairs of the ship he held aloof
and must not be approached by the pas
sengers, and that it was a sort of viola
ton Of the unwritten rules of the sea
for passenger to ask the captain any
thing. And there may be some reason
in all this; if one passenger might ask
him, 40 might, and surely the command
er of the ship ought not to be unneces-
sarily disturbed by useless questions.
We had been lying there three or four
hours waiting. There was no danger
whatever, but it was delay and an in
cident of interest, and of course all the
passengers talked about nothing else
the common information was that the
delay was due to heated bearing.
II was standing on the upper deck
by the door to the main companionway
leading to the deck below. The captain
came along the upper deck from the
after part of the ship and went below
by that companionway. He must pass
within foot of me, and under the cir
cumstances it did not seem like a VIC
lently unreasonable breach of salt water
etiquette to ask him what was the mat
ter, which did. A passenger who stood
On the other side of the doorway looked
at me with the amused smile of an older
traveller. The captain said nothing. He
simply passed on, to all outward ap-
pearances quite unconscious of my ques-
ton or even my presence New York

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
oy constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian TUBE.
When this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed Deafness Is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
mai condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
tammed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by oatarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Inflated Beds For sleeping Cars.

Kate Fields Washington says that some
genius has devised for sleeping cars a sys-
tenn Of beds made of rubber bags, which
are to be stretched over steel frames and
inflated with hot air from the locomotive.
In 15 minutes an entire car can be made
ready for the night. In the morning, when
the hot air is turned off, the mattresses
and pillows will Immediately collapse.
Such beds, it is claimed, would be cheaper,
lighter and more comfortable than those
made now and could be tucked away In
FAR lass space when not In use.

Mr.. and Mrs. Qunlan have been confined

more than they cared TO tell, taking win
them a stenographer. They first devoted
themselves TO the man. About an houf was
consumed in his examination and WINCH the
interview was over. il was noticed that ihe
StenOgrapher carried under his arm f"l-
luminous notes OF the interview.
The interview with Mrs. Quinlan, when
followed. was sensational IN the extreme
and the police are very reticent about II.
Mrs. Quinlan was very much Affected, SAD

throughout the whole interview, wmcL l
