less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, wilkattest
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
ative /; 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

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

what II jolly farmer said as ne entered

says he, Sal2er's seeds not only grow
but they produce enormously. Had
planted a few acres more Of his oats,
wheat, corn, potatoes, grass and clover
seeds, l would have had to double the
capacity of my barns; that would have
cost me 81, 200. 1t is a fact that if you

Rules of Good breeding.

There are two things jamong others
Of which a well bred woman will not
be guilty. One is, crossing her knees
In the horse cars or other public con-
veyance; the second, writing notes on
postal cards. The young lady who
wears q masculine tailor made gown,
and believes her boots are irreproacha-
bic, may If she pleases, show them off
at home; but one of the first lessons
taught in good society Is to observe a
certain pedal reticence when in the
company of strangers. 1t is not grace
full to wag the foot in the face Of an IN
sympathetic vis-a-vis. and when the
inStep is below par, and the ankle one
too round, it doesn't help one to forget
and forgive. A certain Independent
class of girls invariably neglect this
branch of their department, and some
body should really c~onjure them to
practice a little more coquetry and
keep their toes a la Sir John Stockings
poem. AS to postal card CORE
spondence, 1t is bad form, especially
when postage is so cheap. Refined and
cultivated women do not resort to n
card save In cases Of great intimacy,
where n word or two Is sufficient to
indicate the wishes Of the writer; but
to write a familiar note to a distant
acquaintance on this useful business
postal card is to break one of the in
s~tinctively understood rules of good
breeding, and to be as guilty Of a
breach of etiquette as though, when
writing to a friend, one sigped herself
Mrs. John Smith, instead Of with the
initials Of her own name without a
prefix.-Domestic Monthly.

The First Wall of the City Sup
posed to Have Been Discovered.


The First Wall of the City Sup
posed to Have Been Discovered.
DIR. Bliss, who Is conducting excava-
tons for the Palestine exploration fund
In Jerusalem, sends home a report Of
recent work in which he states that he
has found, at a depth OF a few feet,
the foundations Of a wall which may
be those Of the actual first wall Of the
that wall. In the course of the work
he had uncovered three large square
towers. He had also found a gateway,
the doorsill of which was still in stu
with the holes of the door posts and
the holes for the bolts. This sill was
four feet above the ancient paved road
which passed through the wall at this
point, but on digging deeper he found,
four feet below, and therefore on a
level with the ancient road, the sill of
an older gate. Herr Schick reports
that he has found a postern in the
north wall on the exact spot where the
Leper's gate is placed by writer's In
the twelfth century.
Reviewing the future Of exploration
at Jerusalem, Maj. Gender, in an inter
esting article in the Scottish Review,
reminds us that within the temple in.
closure it Is hopeless to expect that
leave to excavate car be obtained from
the sultan. If it were possible TO re-
move the tagging of the platform on
hfn Ia
stands, or to open the archway in its
eastern retaining wall. over which a
mound OF earth wa heaped In 1881,
when Maj. Gender attempted to get
leave for this exploration, 1t is thought
very probable that we should find the
foundations Of the temple courts and
steps beneath. The well of Souls
under the Sakhrah is a cave which has
lev been seen by any one now living,
and which is described by no ancient
writer. Within the city excavation is
pronounced only possible Immediately
west Of Antonio, where there is an I'M
occupied area, or in the western part
Of the Hospital Of st. John, which still
lies beneath an accumulation of rub

parts houses and mOnasteries cover the

Dnngcr of Cosmetics.

The use Of cosmetics, face powders
and rouges cannot be too strongly con-
demned, writes Eloise Perdrix in the
Ladies' Home Journal They stamp
the person using them as silly and vul.
gar in the eyes Of all refined and
cultured people, and do not In even the
slightest degree enhance or beautify.
A good complexion needs no artificial
toning or heightening, nature being the
cleverest of all artists. A poor skin is
kept clogged and its condition impover-
ished by the application OF cosmetics
often, indeed, 1t is poisoned by the
harmful ingredients contained in them.
Arsenic and white lead are two of the
drugs most used in their preparation
and two Of the rankest poisons which
a introduced into the system. Med
ical treatment for the identifying, pre-
serving and improving the complexion
should only be undertaken under the
direction Of ones family physician.

and caught her i'm his arms. Then
suddenly he let her slip from his grasp,

She pushed him back to his seat,
and regardless of the boats rocking
stood up before him.

On the next day n letter came from
her husband, announcing an immediate
return.
She had newer looked so beautiful to
the boy as she did when telling him
this news, which was crueller to him
than a dagger thrust, and the pity that
she felt shone in her eyes though he
saw nothing OF it.
A little latter, with a view to distract
ing his sad thoughts, which were so
clearly m;rToTei in mis- race, she pro-
rosed that they should take the narrow
& cen skiff named The Lady of the
Lake, and float In the overtiowed woods
outside the levee where the water had
risen twenty feet against a gigantic
oaks. and there was shade as dense AS
twilight, broken only nov and then
by a stray shaft of sunlight.
She lay In the stern Of the boat with
a sensuous enjoyment of the rocking
motion, the dreamy s~trangeness of the
w~aterwoodS and the ineffable stiffness,
undisturbed the odd-shaped spiders
that spun by their web from vine to
vine. He dipped his paddle up and
down, Just deep enough to steer clear
of the trees, till they came to an open
space where water sprites might have
bathed their bodies in the moonlight.
Here the sun shOne through the
branches and made q lace-like tracery
on the water. while the brilliant cups
of the trumpet-vine lifted themselves
to the sky. They were close to n dead
tree. whose bare forks half hidden in
the river, still projected high in the air.
aud at a sign from Lpr he padlocked
the boat chain about the gaunt arms
and laid the paddle In the bottom Of
the boat. They were as utterly alone
rs IL they had been the first inhabitants
OF a new sphere; a light breee sent
the deep water Ripping against the
low-lying boughs and now and then a
gIlstenmg snake darted out from his
hiding place, shooting his forked tom
que at some hapless insect.
