\ATith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant 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-
ton 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, andi is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, 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 skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

The Great Jenninps Estate,

Patriotic citizens of Minnesota who
have been led to consider themselves
heirs to 'the great Jennings estate" of
England, are still waiting patiently for
the enormous shipment of bullion from
the Bank of England's vaults, which
will soon put our circulation on an i'm
movable gold basis. ST. Paul has the
craze badly, nearly $15o,ooo having been
collected in that city alone for costs
in the last few years. The collection of
this has been in the hands of regular
stock company in Philadelphia, and
has proved such good thing that an
other company has been formed in
Minneapolis as competitor.

THE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION
Thursday Afternoons work--EIection
of Ofhcers--W. M. Shank Grand
Chief Templar.
THURSDAY.

The afternoon was spent in listening
to the reports from the lodges repre-
sented at the grand lodge. These
proved very interesting, as they showed
in the same general way the trials and
discouragements as we'll as the helps
and encouragements experienced by all !;
and though place may be peculiar, yet
those things thought to be peculiar to
one place are found to exist in many
others.
The committee on grand lodge OF
Oregon urged the issuing a paper that
should be medium of communication
between the lodges and members. A
plan was proposed whereby a paper of
this kind could be published monthly at
a very low price to each member, and if
all took hold and helped it could be
made a success. The committee recon-
mended the appointment of committee
to further investigate the matter. and if
thought advisable by the committee, to
go ahead with the publication.
The committee on finance completed
their work and reported finding every
thing as regards the secretary and treas
urer's bonds in proper shape. They
recommended that the per capita tax
remain at the present price of Is cents
per member. This point caused long
debate, but the recommendation was
finally adopted.
1t is the wish of the grand lodge that
one or more lecturers be kept in the
field all the time, to work for the cause
of temperance and organize lodges where
it can be done.
EVENING.
During the evening the election of
grand lodge officers occupied the time,
and it was late hour before this work
was completed. The result is as follows

The Antiquity Of Soap

Soap is not a modern invention. 1t
is twice mentioned in the Bible, first in
Jeremiah and again in Malachi. His
tory tells us that more than 1000 years
ago the Gauls manufactured it by
combining beech tree ashes with goats
fat.
A few years ago a soap boilers shop
was discovered in Pompeii, having been
buried beneath the terrible rain of
ashes that fell upon that city in 70 A.
D. The soap found in the shop had
not lost sll of its efficacy, although it
had been buried 1900 years. At the time
that Pompeii was destroyed the soap
making business was carried on in sew
eral of the Italian cities.
Pliny the Elder speaks of soap, and
says that because it's price was so high
many substitutes were used, among
them kind of glutinous earth and fine
sand mixed in the juice of certain
plants that made lather.
As early as 700 A. d. there were many
soap factories in both Italy and Spain,
and about $50 A. ID. the Phoenicians
introduced the business into France,
the first factories being established at
arseilles.-London Sun.

though his warfare has been less active

Osman Digna at all times led the

under arms almost constantly for ten
years. He is a skilled general, and is

was tae agent of much good, that he

He Espouses the Cuban Cause

Senior Don Jose Miguel de Michelena
y Canovas del Castillo is the name of
a flower of Spanish chivalry who has
espoused the Cuban cause and has
just reached this country incog. The
young man is a nephew of the present
president of the cabinet of Spain, An
tonic Canovas del Castillo.
1t has been frequently asserted by
Spaniards and the friends of Spain
that the insular party of Cuba was
composed OF negroes and bandits,
who we're simply waging guerrilla
warfare upon the organized forces
of the home government. Therefore
the coming of the young Spanish aris-
tocrat is hailed with great joy by all
the Cubans. Senior Don Jose Miguel
de Michelena is of patrician blood and
is known all over Spain as Of undoubt-
ed bravery. The young man comes di-
rect from Madrid. He is to be Marquis
de Casa Michelena upon his fathers
death, and his fortune is no small one.
After his graduation he served as an
artillery captain in the Austrian army.
It is the intention OF the Cubans to
give the Spaniard, who has thus mani
tested his willingness to join their
forces, command in the Cuban artil-
lsry.
It is noteworthy that the Colonel
Michelens, who commands the Regi-
ment de Maria Cristins, now in Cuba,
is an uncle of Don Jose Miguel de Mi:
chelena. Senior Pablo de Michelena,
who was governor of Havana, is also an
uncle of the young man. The act of
the young Cuban sympathizer in open
ly espousing that cause has created a
profound impression in Spain. He is
engaged to be married to the countess
Of Alma Zichy. consequently society
n Madrid had much to say of the mat
ter.
The young man first made it known
that he favored the Cuban cause last
November. The other members of the
family made it 80 warm for him in
Spain that he left there, although he
had great difficulty in getting out of
that country.-New York Journal.

Potatoes for Cows.


Potatoes have been found in many
trials to be IN excellent feed for meat
production, and the general estimate
of their value for this purpose Is that
four pounds of tubers are about equal
to one pound of meal. Some rate them
even higher than this. Their value, ac-
cording to the Orange County Farmer,
however, does not depend upon the
nutrition they contain solely, but upon
the fact that as part of the ration they
tend to keep stock heartily and are an
aid to digestion. No very accurate
data exists rs to their value In mllk
production, although they used to De
regarded as n good milk feed In a gen
eral way. Some experiments confirm
the oldtme view, with the quallflcu-
ton, however, that when fed largely
they lower the quality of the product
to some extent, but small ration of,
say, five to six pounds day produces
no effect upon quality, and Is valuable
from sanitary point Of view, and for
the sake of variety, answering in this
respect to the Office performed by roots
In mixed feeding. While pigs do not
readily eat raw potatoes, or at least
prefer them cooked, cows eat them
with avidity In their raw state.

Potatoes for Seed.

There needs to be greater care taken
in selecting potatoes. Not only the
right form and size are important, but
1t is quite as much so that the see,l
should be grown from plants that have
kept their vigor until the tubers were
fully ripened, and that had not suffer
ed from attacks of the potato bug, says
the Orange County Farmer. The only
way to be absolutely sure about having
good potato seed is to mark the strong
est hills while they were growing, and
select the best potatoes from these
hills. Such seed should easily be
worth five times as much per bushel
for planting as seed selected at ram
dom from a pit or bin. If farmer
can once get, started with seed of this
character, it will require much less
labor to fight the potato bug. 1t Is n
good plan, also, to try the new yarie-
ties as quickly as they come into mar
ket Most varieties grown from seed
will yield much heavier crops for two
or three years after their introduction
than they ever will again.
