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 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 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
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 any substitute if offered.

Financial Affairs of France,

The financial speech Of the ex-Prime
Minister M. Loubet, in the senate, is to
be posted, by order Of that house, all
over France. There are some statements
in it worthy Of consideration. Thus, the
national debt is set down at 81, 200, ,000,-
900. 1t also appears that the difficulty Of
making both ends meet has greatly in
creased since M. Meline secured the tri-
umph of his system. The court Of audits
has discovered 211 Irregularities in the
last budgetary account of money paid.
By Irregularities it means embezzle-
ments, set down under the head Of "vire-
ments.
Among them figures the e80e spent
ON behalf Of a minister for "cabs, :"
and e640 a month for little "de-
jeuners'' at Voisin's, where a min
lister of justice entertained his friends.
The "virements" at the home Office are
set down at $3.50, those of the war Of
fee at 81, $50, those of the colonial Office
at 60, 09O, those of the public works Of
flee at e2, 375. When M. de Freycinet
was war minister, the "virements'' of
his department amounted to about e.
600 year. He, as minister of public
works and war, swelled the national
debt more than any one else in power
since Theirs retirement. The redeem
able loans were an expedient Of M. de
Freycinet to give employment to the
public works department.

AHorrib1e Suspicion.

Lysander Dickerson of Sterling, Ills,
thus writes to the Chicago Journal:
''In recent issue Of your paper I find
an item describing at some length the
moving of the old Liberty bell into its
new quarters in Independence hall at
Philadelphia, and recital Of the safe
guards with which the historic relic is
now surrounded. In this item the bell
itself is described with more or less mi
nuteness The article recalls to my mind
the fact that some 45 years or SO ago,
in company with s. s. Dana of Wilkes.
barre, Pa, visited Independence hall
and naturally made close and careful
inspection of this historic relic. At
this time there was place foot or
more deep chipped out at one of the
outer edges. When it was exhibited at
the fair, there were no evidences of van
dalism. This convinces me of the truth
of the story, which is generally unbe-
lieved, to the effect that years ago the
old bell was sold to an enterprising
Yankee and by him worked up into
trinkets 7 claim to have one Of them

A world,s Fair Reminiscenoe.

It happened two years ago, but the
facts never came out till one day last
week.
A man whose personality must be con-
cealed for the present under the ficti-
tious name of Tom Gallagher was attend
ing the Worlds fair. He stepped into a
restaurant in the Manufactures build
ing to get something to eat. The crush
was enormous, the walters were flying
to and fro in helpless confusion and aft
er Tom Gallagher had secured seat at
one Of the tables he seemed no nearer
his dinner than before.
He waited patiently few minutes
and then beckoned waiter to him.
'tMy FRIEND" he said, slipping a half
dollar into his hand, "bring me some
thing to eat as quick as you can. %
'Boss," said the waiter, with emo
tion, "I've been here more'n a month,
and you're the first man that's ever give
me cent But" he added in hoarse
whisper, "I've managed to steal $6. -

HALF A CENTURY AGO.
Philadelphia Gentlemen Drank In . Way
to Astonish Their Descendants.

Philadelphia Gentlemen Drank In . Way
to Astonish Their Descendants.
Among Americans up to 1866 the use
and abuse of strong drink were almost
universal, but it certainly affected their
health less injuriously than at the pres
ent time. The worry and strain of mod
ern business and social life shatter
nerves now and lead to dram drinking
to repair them. On the contrary, most
of the excesses in the old times came
after a solid dinner, and three or four
hours were spent in rest and convivlal-
ity, but the amount drank was enor-
NOUS. When the exchange was COM
pleted, in 1882, dinner was given, and
there was some apprehension that the
wine would run out, and well known
broker on the committee expressed his
surprise, as the company had not aver
aged more than three bottles apiece.
This would be thought very large al
lowance of strong Madeira in these
times.
In 1858 the final audit of the accounts
of the United States bank was complet-
ed, and on behalf of the government
James A. Bayard of Delaware, John
M. Mason and a Kentucky gentleman
named Dukes appeared 1t was mere
formaity, as the matter had been settled
ten years before. John Young acted as
clerk. The party met in the northwest
chamber of the bank building-now the
custom house-at II O'Clock. A bottle
of brandy and six Of Madeira were on
the table, and after short inspection
of papers the wine was opened, and by
/ O'Clock was drank. The day was
warm, and bowl of bishop was order
ed, and this was made by the servant
with the brandy and flask of Curacao.
This was drank, and the three COM
mitteemen went to dine with Charles J.
Ingersoll about O'Clock. They returned,
bringing a friend. A dozen Madeira
were at hand, and smoking, drinking
and whist were in order until 10, when
the last bottle was drank, and then
Prosser, the cook, brought in cold ducks
and mighty lobster salad. A gallon
bowl of brandy punch was made as con-
duciye to digestion. A tumbler Of this
finished the clerk, who went to sleep
and was aroused at aybreak to drink a
cup Of coffee, and then all went down
the steps and walked away in the fresh
morning air, none the worse in appear
ance from the nights potations.
1t is apparent that in a life like this
1t was the survival of the fittest. The
steady ones carried off the honors, but
gout, gravel and dropsy played havoc
with the others, and these complaints
were charged to port and Madeira by the
doctors, and SO the habit Of drinking
claret and light wines came into fashion.
Gambling was almost universal, and
many fortunes of old Philadelphians dis
appeared in this way.-Philadelphia

Some Points About Wills.

Do you know that you cannot will
away your body; that a clause in your
will giving your body after death to any
person or institution is not legally bind
ing? Your executors cannot be forced to
carry out your wishes, though they may
do SO through Difference to your ex-
pressed preferences. 1t is also important
to remember that three witnesses are
needed in devising real estate instead Of
two, as in bequeathing personal property.
"When woman will, she will, de-
pend ont" says the proverb. But there
are SO many sharp turns and short
curves in the course of the law that
though woman wills to will what she
will, how she will in nine cases out of
ten she cannot make her will so that she
wills what she will as she wills to will

Ants a. Biters.

Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws, considering the size
Of their bodies, and therefore their
method is by biting. They will bite one
another and hold on with wonderful
grip of the jaws, even after all their legs
have been bitten off by other ants.
Sometimes six or eight ants will be
c1inging with a death hold to one an
other, making peculiar spectacle, some
with leg gone and some with half the
body gone. One singular fact is that the
grip of an ants jaw is retained even
after the body has been bitten off and
nothing but the head remains. .-Ex-

FANNY KEMBLES PUNCH.

1t Was Very Seductive and Had Disas-
trous Eject.
One characteristic anecdote of Mrs.
Kemble, which, SO far as I know, has
not got into print, may be mentioned.
Two youthful friends of hers having
given invitations for a picnic on the
border of the Stockbridge Bowl, Mrs.
Kemble, with the warm-hearted SYM
pathy she always showed toward young
people, associated herself with them in
the plan, and made the entertainment
much more complete than they had in
tended. She engaged band from AL
bany, had dancing platform erected,
and numerous boats engaged. Unfor-
tunately the punch, which had been
subtly compounded in New York, had
for the sake of economical transporta-
ton, "no allaying Thames" The day
was hot; there was cry for something
to drink, and at a fatal moment, when
the person who should have superin-
tended the beguiling beverage was en-
gagged in another part of the grounds,
it was prematurely poured into the
punch bowls as undiluted as if Friar
Tuck had presided. Its cunning smooth
ness disarmed the suspicion of the
wariest guests, some of whom were be-
trayed before the mistake was discov-
cred and corrected. The climax came
when, after the lunch, and at mo-
ment when two or three of the more
unfortunate gentlemen had gone to a
sequestered spot for restorative swim,
Mrs. Kemble ordered the chief boat
man to bring to the little dock, pre-
pared for the embarkation of those in
clined for row, the largest of the
boats, which had been specially decor
ated for the occasion. The man hesi-
tated and stammered.
''No wordsp' imperiously COM
manded Mrs. Kemble, in Lady Mac
beth's tone. ''Bring the boat!''
After several vain efforts at remon-
STRANGE, he said deprecatingly, 81
thought maybe as one of your gents
was in the boat naked and drunk, you
would rather not have it brought just
yea"
Those who have heard Mrs. Kemble
read Falstaff and Pistol can imagine
the mixture of amusement and disgust
on her face at this rejoiner. l have
called this anecdote characteristic, but
I need not say it is characteristic of
one little side only of her noble being.
The impetuous generosity, the glowing
sensibility, the unfreigned religious
ness of this child of nature, of whom
heredity and environment made an ac-
tress, can be told only in the story of
her life.-Century for August.

HIS FIRST LOVE AFFAIR.

He Whispered Sweet Words of Love
Under Lilac Bush.
George, do you remember your first
love AFFAIR."
He tilted back in his easy chair and
nodded assent.
"Tell me about it, that's a good fell
low," said AL
With retrospective look in his eyes,
George thereupon began:
"Well, it happened when had boy
ish blue eyes and a high ambition,
with a great amount of self confidence.
Since then, you may observe, my eyes
have grown gray, my ambition has
been tempered by experience, and my
self confidence, if I really have any,
does not so boldly assert itself.
"The girl I loved was a buxom maid
of 18 summers. Do not ask me to de-
scribe her, for-shame on mel really
have forgotten how she looked in those
days. I know thought her very hand
some-more SO than any woman I have
seen before or have seen since. On
different occasions, with no great
amount of time intervening, I remem-
ber of thinking of her as being angelic,
amiab1e, affable, beautiful, cute, cour-
teous, confiding, dear, and SO on down
through the alphabet. I told her SO,
too, for I always told her all my
thoughts.
81 may have called her even more
names, probably did, but this, you
know, is only an off hand recital, with
out reference to notes.
"Well, one summer evening-it
strikes me it was in June-I found my
love in nook beneath a lilac bush,
and in the fading twilight I gathered
courage to ask her to be mine.
''She blushed deeply, her lips trem-
bled for moment, then she turned her
pretty face from me and murmured an
answer.
"Then my boyish blue eyes flashed
defiance to the world, and my heart
was in raputre, as clasped my pret-
ty girl lover to me in fond embrace.
''And she was happy too?" Al ven-
tured.
"Not bit of it. She freed herself,
her lips were puckered into pout, and
there was a scowl on her face that
gave me the toothache.
"How dare you take such ibertiesP
she hissed, and her little foot came
down with all the force she could
summon.

had asked her to become my wife, and
had she not answered 'yes?'
"Why, George!' she exclaimed, I
answered 'noP
''That little word sounded to me like
death knell, and with all my conf
dence and ambition gone, sunk be-
meath the bushes out of sight, and the

"What ever became of her?'' Al
asked.
The portieres parted and CHEEKY
woman frightened the room by her
presence.
"That's her," said George, and he
nodded toward his pretty wife.
"Well," Al remarked, laughing.
''how did it finally happen?''
"Oh," George replied, and he rose
from his easy chair, ''she didn't stick
to what she said near the lilacs in the
twilight. ''-The Family Story Paper.

From the Enterprise, Oregon City, Orl
A representative of the Oregon City
Enterprise visited Mr.. A. N. Tompkins,
the we'll known carpenter and builder,
Of Oregon City, and finding him hard
at work, asked if he was the man who
had been i'll of rheumatism. Receiv-
ing an affirmative answer, the reporter
asked if he would have any objections
to making statement of his case, how
he was cured, ETC., for the benefit of
the public.
''No objections at all,'' said Mr..
Tompkins. 81 have suffered with lum-
bago for years, having bad spells off
and on. Sometimes it would lay me
up entirely. Whenever I did any
heavy lifting, or got wet or caught
cold, would have bad spell. Some
times would be SO bad that I could
not straighten up. was always look

phine fiend of me by injecting NOR
phine into my body to relieve the pain
he could not cure and was not honest
enough to admit. All these medicines
and doctors did me no good, some even
as in this case, doing me harm.
"While working on the Barclay
building some months ago had an at
tack. I Immediately went to Char
man & Co. g drug store and told Mr..
Chairman to give me a box of Pink
Pills. Having bought them, I COM
menced taking them at once, and after
the first day experienced relief, and
in two weeks I was entirely well. I
had in that time used part of the second
box. Being at the home of my daugh-
ter-in-law, Mrs. Lena Tompkins, and
hearing her complain of rheumatism,
I gave her the balance.
"Now, have worked right along,
and in spite of the wet weather and the
fact that have heavy cold just now,
my old disease, and any one of the
three things (heavy work, wet weather
and cold) which now have combin-
ed, would have given me bad spell
heretofore. I consider DR.. Williams
Pink Pills great remedy, and be-
lieve they have absolutely cured me.
At least, if they have not, it is only a
question of continuing the remedy long
enough, and if ever have return of
the pain I shall fly to Pink Pills.

Too Polite.

"There is such thing as being too
polite. For instance, there is Flum-
leigh. He went into a store to inquire
about something or other, and there
was nobody but woman there. He be-
gan by asking, I beg pardon, if you are
not engaged'-and before he could say
any more she interrupted him with,
'This is SO sudden!' And, by gracious,
she accepted him on the spot, and before
he knew what was going on. No, sir
it doesn't pay to be too polite" And
the speaker shook his head sagely and
not without a suggestion Of sadness. -
