GIudness Comes

IhTith a better understanding of the
 w transient nature of the many phys ical llsawhich vanish before proper ef- forts-gentle eefforts-pleasante efforts rightly directed. There is comfort n 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 " 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. Itis therefore all important, in order to get its bene- foia4 effects, to note when you puT- chase, thatyou have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig SVrun Co only, and sold by all rep u5able druggists.
 If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laXa- tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease. one may be commended to the most sllillfui physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informede everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.

the late Shen Shou Chang, another
returned American student, who was

at tho mouth of the Yashan River,
Korea, July 25, 1894, owing to the
cowardice of his subsequently decapi-

tenant Tsu.Lien was badly wounded
and was, therefore, advised to leave
his ship aud so to Chefu for treat

do, declaring that "his duty to the
Emperor demanded his remaining at
his post" After having had his
wounds hastily dressed, the late lieu

Shortly afterwards shot struck his

Music Had No Charms.

Returning home from an all.night
dance near Gladwyn two Manayunk
musicians had quite an adventure with
an infuriated bull in q field which they
crossed as q short cut to the highway.
When midway in the field the bull
charged at full speed upon the two
men. The owner of the bass. violin
pulled the covering from his instru-
ment quickly and began to pull the
how over the strings with vengeance,
hoping to charm the bull, which stood
with head lowered, believing angrily,
and paving up the turf with its fore.
feet. The first violin left his comrade
to his fate and made tracks for the
nearest fence. He had hardly arrived
at the fence in safety when he saw his
unlucky friend tossed into the air.
The bass viol was impaled upon the
brute's horns. While the bul was en-.
gagged in battering the fiddle to atoms
the man escaped with only few
bruises. Philadelphia Record.

Says the Detroit Journal: The
total Indian population at this time,
according to estimates made by the
officials of the Indian Bureau, is 2iS,
2j3, exclusive of tho Indians of
Alaska. In 1929, before the annex
alton of Texas and Mexico, the csti-
mated population OF the country was
400, 900. In 1855 the number was
said to be $50, 900, and the same csti-
mate is made for 1871. The most
rapid decline in numbers has been in
the last quarter OF n century. The
fact the Cherokees aud Chippewas,
both comparatively powerful tribes,
have actually increased in numbers
makes the decrease in other tribes all
the more remarkable. At the begin
ming OF 1895 the number on the res
ervation had been decreased to l33..
All, or about one-third of the total
number. Less than 1000 of these
are self-supporting, the Federal Gov
ernment issuing supplies to most of
them. Ii the rate of decrease which
has been maintained for the last
quarter of a century or so be con-
tinued, there will not be a single full.

DO FISHES SUFFER PAIN?


Apparently Not, Though They Are In Many
Respects sensitive.
All fishes have nerves. and in solne
respects fishes are extremely sensitive.
A fish that has buried itself in sand or
mud so completely that only the tip of
its tail fin is above the bottom will feel
upon the slightest touch and instantly
dart out Of its sandy bed. A fish is very
sensitive to movements in the water
surrounding it. A shadow falling o
the water will startlc II fish into flight.
But sensitive rs fishes are i'll sOmc re-
spccts, it is probable that they do not
suffer pain from injuries received.
Fishes are extremely sensitive at the
nose. A fish that had in pursuit of prey
run its nose against Il rock might shake
its head violently, perhaps in pain, but
fishes sustain serious injuries from uc-
tual wounds without showing any indi-
cation of pain. In fact, the Indications
tend to show that thoy do not suffer.
a fish that has been hooked by an
angler, but has escaped, perhaps carry
ing off IA hook i'll its mouth, may II few
minutes afterward bite again at NJ
other hook. Such instances are not i'll
| frequent. In such cases tho hook would
probably be concealed by the bait and
the fish would not be likely to see it,
but the fact that it is ready to take tho
bait shows that it is continuing to feed,
which it would scarcely be like to do if
it were suffering great pain. n shark
from whose body all the visccra had
been removed has continued to feed.
Sensitive rs fishes are about the nose.
many of them use the nose i'll pushing
stones and gravel about i'll building II
nest for the female to spawn i'll. Tho
salmon VIGOROUSLY often wears its snout
down to the bone in cXcavating II cavity
for u nest, and often it wears Off its tail
to IL mere stub i'll brushing out stones
and gravel. Yet such fishes frequently
recover from their injuries and return
to the ocean.
Timid and sensitive as fishes are III
some respects, they fight ono another
vigorously. In such fights they may re-
ccivc injuries that might be described
as terrible. TO these injuries they may
pay so little attention that after tho
fight is over they 20 Oh with their feed
ing or with whatever occupation they
had been engaged III.
Injuries which would throw IL human
being into a state of hclplessncss do not
interrupt the current of fish life. Tho
fish may attcrward die from its injuries,
but apparently it docs not suffer pain
from them.
Fishes sometimes survive injuries of
a remarkable character. The stomach
of II captured Goldfish was found to bc
pierced by Il Spinc of IL founder which
it had swallowed. Tho sharp, thornlike
