CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup OF Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value OF the remedy us II medi-
ciual agent, and Of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy, which would be more
| pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, MS they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination Of
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneiicially.
II in the enjoyment Of good health
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are moi

Ghosts.

Ghosts.
When the brilliant hues of the sunset fade
Into amber and paly gold;
When the wren and the robin sleep in the
glade
And the shepherd shuts his fold;
When the lamps are lit in the deep blue skies
And the toll of the day is done
Pale, haunting ghosts of the past arise
From the shadows one by one.
The ghost of the words we did not say
In the days forever fled
Comes out of the shadows dim and gray,
And the ghost of the words we said,
or the cruel word, of the bitter word,
OF the word of blame scorn
That was keen as the point of a warriors
sword
On fateful battle morn.
The ghosts of the woes of age and youth
That we passed unheeding by,
Or the grefs we did not ask to soothe,
OF the tears we did not dry,
OF the ills of which we took no heed,
OF the grievous wrongs unfought,
Come with that of many a churlish deed,
Or of good deed left unwrought.
They cluster round us, these phantom shades
These ghosts Of the days of old,
AS the cheerful glow of the daylight fades
In the twilight dim and cold,
Anu III vain we moan, ana IN vain we weep
And we may not from them hide;
Closer and closer these shadows creep
In the twilights to our side.

A VERY BUSY WOMAN.

She pronounced In sounding platitude
Her universal gratitude,
For men of every latitude,
From the tropics to the poles:
She felt Il consanguinity.
A sisterly affinity,
A kind of -kinity,
For all those foreign souls.
For Caledonlan highlanders,
For brutal South Sea islanders,
For wet and moist and dry landers,
For Gentle, Greek and Jew;
For Firms and for Siberians,
For Arabs and Algerians,
For Terra del Fuegians,
She was in a constant stew.
Oh, II worried Miss Sophronia
Lest the men of Patagonia
Should die with the pneumonia,
With the phthisis or the ohills.
Yes, indeed, she worried daily.
Lest Group or cold should waylay
Some poor Soudanese or Malay,
Dying for the lack Of pills.
And she tCiled on without measure,
And with most unstinted pleasure,
For the good of central Asia
Aud the pagan people there.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

Yet we are molding now the speech of men,
For, oh, how many, many thousand times
This name will be pronounced in days to come
With tender iterations of the home,
With every fond addition and sweet change
That love delights in-crooned in cradle song,
Then shouted on the green by boys at play,
Then murmured softly under moon and stars,
By lips that make it music-then, ah, mel
Banded about the rude ways of the town,
In praise and blame, from kindliness to scorn,
And blown perhaps worldwide for i'll or good;
Spoken at last one day with awed, hushed

Then treasured in few fond, faithful hearts
Read few years upon low, white stone,

THE GOLDBBG.

a goldbug is a man who bathes and
loves clean linen.-New York Adver
tiser.
The rich man in the parable of Jesus
did as much as that, but it didn't keep
the perfumed old glutton and rake out
of hell. Dives was a typical goldbug
in his time, and many Of his kind to
day will, like him, wake up some day
IN a place where there is no water to
battle their diseased and bloated old
anatomies in.-RiChmond Star.
1t is probably true that the goldbug
ia a man who bathes and loves clean
linen. If 80, that is quite commend
able. Let the good WORK go on.
The eilverbUg is a man who bathes
and loves a clean heart, heloves justice
equal chances in the race of life; he
loves to hear a lively hum IL the hive
Of industry and to see all deserving
people earning and getting a modest
living rather than to see them go down
to poverty. In short, the silverbug
has ten c~ommendable traits of charac-
ter to every one found in the makeup
Of the average goldbug.

In 1873 Mr.. SchelI, Auditor General
Of Pennsylvania, tried to secure a valu-

for taxation, but could get from it's
officers nothing but evasive answers,
or none at all. After years of work,
he figured that the taxes and penalties
from 1872 to 1881 should be 50, 49,
541 Ga; they had been earning one to
two millions a year during that time.
After his term was out (tor, of course,
he could not be elected) the State At

For three weeks the weather has

MONEY GOING OUT OF THE
STATE.

A correspondent Of the Greensboro
Record is disposed to kick about some
things going on in North Carolina. He
writes thus:
There is a we'll managed farm in
n Orth Carolina, containing 1000 acres,
on which is employee 40 laborers, the
salary of which is So a month and find.
The owner of this farm lives in Balti-
more, Md. At the end Of the year,
after the wages have been paid and all
outstanding accounts settled, there Is
a-net gain of $4, 900. This amount is
sent to the owner in Baltimore. The
cost of the maintenance of this farm,
including the taxes, has been produced
in North Carolina, and in like manner
expended in North Carolina. The only
real gain in wealth, as is apparent
without argument, is the 81 900, which
has found Judgement in another State.
While J Gould was alive, by conf
vance in Wall Street, he secured the
Iron Mountain (Missourl) railroad and
now there appears in the schedule Of
property belonging to his estate, &c.
coo, 900 in bonds invested in this road,
from viii n investment, we will say,
an annual dividend is paid Of 1850, 600,
or $50 600 a month. This amount,
which also represents the wealth pro
duced by a part Of the State of Mis-
souri,, finds Judgement IN another State.
Before J. Gould Cied, like many
multi miiliOnalres of these times, he
appointed by his will a self perpetual
ing board of trustees to control his es
tates. By this very act he gave direc-
ton to the wealth produced by the
MissOurians for the next hundred
years. Is it safe for a man who is n, t
even a citizen OF Missouri t o be able to
dictate such q policy to a great State9
Did the charter under which this road
is operated in the State imply such a
condition!
From the railroad commissions re
port for 1894, l learn that the net earn
ings of the railroads in this State was
81, 227, 537, (see pages 425 g., and that
the dividends paid or capital stock
and funded debt amounted to about
81, SOC, GOO This 81, 800, 600 represents
possibly nor than the net wealth pro.
duced by the State during that year,
the difference being made up by mort
cages on the homes of the people. 1t
is within bounds of safety to say that
