THTith better understanding of the w transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper eff. forts-gentle efforts s-pleasante efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. It's beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without facilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get it's bene- fcial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists.
 If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most slxillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and dgivesmo general satisfaction.

Birmingham Is certainly an appreciat- i've show town. One would have thought that everybody and the children attended the Ringing Brothers show, which visit ed the city a few days ago, but not so. The crowds here yesterday to see the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers great combination show must have ex- ceeded the former crowd 5000. It was magnifcence assemblage and tested the seating capacity to Its utmost. The Sells Bros. are old fa.vorites in Alabama. This year they came with grand double show and the addition of the late Adam Fore paugh's circus and menagerie certainly makes the combination one of the most meritorious as well as the strongest, in the show world. The double show gave a splendid performance yesterday after noon, and 10000 delighted men, women and children testified their approval by bursts of hearty applause at intervals, from the grand tournament and entrce until the Roman chariot race brought the performance 10 a close. Forepaugh & Sells Bros. advertise one of the worlds greatest shows, and every pledge made to the public Is carried out to the letter. The events programmed take place. A three-ring circus with platform the presentation of new novelties to the pub lie is a remarkable leap from the small canvas and single ring circus of other days. The trouble is, there are so many events that the spectator loses sight of one good thing when he throws his eyes in the direction of another. One re- markable feature of the show that elicit ed well-merited praise. was tbe---a-uei1us performance of the, o~.~'- re- paugh troupe of h. der the guidance he.

INTERESTING VISIT.

The coming to this country of Prince
Hilkoff, Russian minister of ways of
communication, is an interesting event.
He formerly made a practical
study of railroading in the United
States and returns now to renew
his observations. His visit is in
teresting because it is in accordance
with the plan of the Russian govern
ment to effectually subdue its vast
Asfatic domain by means of the iron
horse.
The possibilities of Russia in Asia
are beyond comprehension. The car
not only controls region Of almost
limitless extent and unbounded posi-
bilities, but he has his foot on the
eastern seaboard and is in position to
dictate to both the new and the old
civilizations which are in such close
juxtaposition there.
When the construction of the Trans
Siberian railway was begun the pro-
ject was looked upon as a visionary
scheme that would impover1sh the i'm
perial treasury and finally die before
it had made serious progress. But now
the world understands that the railway
is to become an established fact; that
st. Petersburg will be linked to Vladi-
vostock and perhaps to ports in China:
thar a boundless agricultural region is
to be developed and its products
brought into competition with those of
other lands; and that the authority of
the car is to be felt as emphatically
on the Pacific as it is on the Baltic.
Great distances and lack of natural
lines of communication have rendered
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT difficult if not inpos-
sible in Asia, and the resources of that
vast territory have not threatened to
disturb either the economic or political
conditions of the rest of the world. Not
since Genghis Khan swept across the
continent and dashed his Tartar hordes
against the very gates of the Russian
capital has Asia exercised any seri-
Gus influence over European civiliza-
ton. But the building of this railroad
promises to inaugurate a great change
This generation may not see the change
fully developed; nor can any one pre-
dict just what form it will take. but
the eyes of thoughtful men everywhere
turn inquiringly toward that steel band
reaching across the Siberian plains;
and the visit of this man who has
come to study the best means of oper-
ating the new commercial and political
artery becomes a most interesting
event in the annals of the. time
