Fowls Running at Large.

There is no better place for Il flock
having full liberty than to allow them ac-
cess to brush land, as they will then Sc
from hawks Many waste tract of such
land could be used for poultry raising,
and if the soil is light and sandy it will
be all the better as it will be dry. If
fowls have free range they will partially
support themselves, but more land will
be required for them than when they are
confined. 1t is not SO much the confine-
ment as the inactivity that often causes
failure. If fowls in confinement are
kept busily at work they will need no
range, nor will they care for it. -.

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts--gentle efforts-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-
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, 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, facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get it's 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 skil1fu1
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 gives most general satisfaction.

A well-known sporting man, who
is too modest to allow his name to
be printed here, relates the follow
ing experience: ~ was out yachting
on the Fourth of July, and got
very much exhausted. having to
manage the yacht myself in a
northeast gale. l did not have an
opportunity to eat properly,
consequently my stomach was very
tired, so that when l did eat, ate
too much, and that resulted in
condition which was followed by
severe neuralgia in my head. My
experience with Ripans Tabules
previously taught me that possibly
the trouble might be remedied by
treating the stomach. Before l had
taken the third Tabule my
neuralgia had gone. and I was
feeling pretty we'll. 1 had neuralgia
very bad, and I could feel those
Tabules were working upon my
digestive organs, and as they
worked my head improved in

The Punishmen6 Of the Bagno.

In former times the punishment Of
the bagno. (bath), one Of the most clev-
erly cruel infections ever devised by ON
official Of the torture chamber, was ad-
ministered In Italy, probably in Venice,
where the water Of the lagoons played
80 prominent part in its penal system.
The punishment was as follows:
The prisoner was placed in vat the
sides Of which were slightly in excess
Of the average height Of aman. In order
to hold in check the rising tide of q
supply Of water which ran into the vat
In q constant stream the criminal was
furnished with scoop with which to
bale out the water as fast as it came in.
The respite from death by immersion
thus obtained was more or less pro.
longed, according to the powers Of en-.
durance possessed by the victim. But
imagine the moral torture, the exhaust
ing and even hideously grotesque efforts,
the incessant and pitiless toll by night
and day, to stave off the dread moment,
fast approaching, when, overcome by
sleep and fatigue. he was unable tc
struggle any longer against his tate. 49,

Not usually in public, but often
in private talk, the local free
silverites refer to the immense
amount Of money in circulation IN
1873. The facts are that in 1873
there was about S25, 100000 gold
in circulation ON the Pacific coast,
in the entire country $348, 500, 900
Of greenbacks in circulation;
$685., 10000 Of National bank
notes; $38, 100000 of fractional
currency (shinplasters) and ST.
200, 900 state bank notes. That
made a total amount Of money
in circulation Of $741, 100000, or
$18.04 per capita. In 1895 the
circulation included $3.50, 200, 900
of gold; $48, 100000 Of gold GER
tificates; $50 200, 900 silver dollars;
1919, 100000 silver certificates;
$50, 200,00 of subsidiary silver;
1866, 100000 greenbacks; $116,:
000, 900 Of treasury notes of 1890;
$2O7 900, 900 national bank notes;
$54, ACC, 900 currency certificates; a
total circulation of 81, 1904, 100, 900,
Or $22.96 per capita. That is
nearly SIS per capita more than in
1873.
Another claim of the free in.
fationists is that the immense is.
sues Of greenbacks at some time in
the past made times good. The
facts are that the total authorized
issue of greenbacks only equalled
$3.50, 100000, and that total was
never quite reached.
It should also be remembered
that in 1873 the paper money in
circulation was worth only about
88 cents on the dollar in gold,
while since 1879 all the money in
circulation has. been worth the
same as gold.

rather illnatured in his speeches.
He sees what an error he has made,
and breads the humiliation that will
follow his defeat in this district.
He walks out of conventions too
much. BY that pedestrian bust

exhibition wall he makes will be
down the national capitol stairs
early next March. That last walk
will be heartily endorsed by the
voters he has betrayed.
