How Esklmos Trap wolves.

Field and Stream tells of curious
way by which Eskimos catch wolves.
They plant stake in the ice, with a
sharp piece of flint on the end, which
is wrapped with seal or other blubber.
Along comes the wolves and go to'lick-
ing the frozen blubber. After awhile
they get down to the flint and cut their
tongues on it. Being ravenously hun
CRY, when they taste the warm blood
they fall to and chew the life out of one
another. The familiar trick of putting
a bent piece of sharpened whalebone
into ball of blubber which is released
by the heat of the animals stomach,
is much less effective than the flint
stake, because nearly whole packs of
wolves are killed by the latter device.

While she's sitting there to sew.

Patching old or making new,
Love runs all the stitches through.
This she knows,
So she sews.

Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of the
wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort i'm
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
lv 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. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali 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, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slzillfuf
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 gives most general satisfaction.
