away to be out of Johanna's reach. The

arm was not long enough. There were

reach, but failed. Then there was an
ether paroNysm of grief. and, when it
had subsidized, Johanna sat looking at
the egg in rueful sort of way.
But Johanna had to have the egg. Mr..
Mckay, to help her along, dropped a
rope near the cage. Johanna got the
rope, held the two ends in her paw, and
with her right, deity tossed the loon
around the egg. Then. after several
trials. she pulled it within reach and
disposed of it us she had disposed of the
first one.

the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to {; constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal

If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-

If afflicted with any actual disease, one

The Markets for Securities Were Strength
 

New York, June 19.-The nomination and the adoption of the gold plank by
 the republicans at St. Louis yesterday
 served to strengthen the markets for
 securities to-day. The news from Lon
 don was also of an encouraging na-
 ture, it being stated by no less an au-
 thority that Lord Salisbury that the
 outlook for the settlement of the dis pute. lover the Venezuelan boundary line
 had improved. The report of trouble
 between British surveyors and Nene-
 zuelan troops was denied
 The fact that there were no enga ge-
 ments of gold for shipment to Europe
 tomorrow added to the bullish feeling.
 London buying was quite feature of
 the day, the foreigners having bought about 25,0O0 shares of various stocks, including St. Paul Louisville and Nash vile and Atchison. The decisive vic tory of the gold men at St Louis was mainly responsible for this buying. While the market ruled firm through out, business was small. Commission houses, however, are anticipating an increase in trading at the stock ex- change shortly as a result of the com promise of the money question in the republican platform and the heads of financial institutions as rule heartily endorsed the action of the St. Louis delegates.
 Taken altogether there is a more con- fident feeling as to the future The
 gains in prices ranged from F to 15s per cent, outside of Tobacco, which jumped from 65 to 68 on report that dividends on the common would be re- sumed next month. Gossip had it that the dividend will be and probably 5 per cent Among the standard issues St. Paul, Louisville and Nashville and Sugar were in the best demand. Speculation closed quiet and firm. l Net changes show gains of 4@1$s per cent.
 Bonds were lower. to-day. The sales were $1013,000.
