the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipatcdcond
tion 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 debili;ating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order TO get lis bcnc-
fetal effects. to note when YOU PER-
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,

other remedies are then not needed. II

SOCIETY POACHERS.
Naughty Married Men and Women Who
Steal Wives or Husbausis.

Whenever his satanic majesty really
,, means to make day of it" the first
thing he usually does is to replace the
toasted cheese in his man traps by
that most seductive of all bats the
forbidden fruit. says the New York
Mercury. We are all Adams and Ewes
in our way: and although the scene
has been shifted from Eden to world
which is anything but an earthly para
disc we need only take peep round
the nearest corner TO see old Mephisto
on the warpath. To-day we are going
10 shoulder our way through the tedi-
Gus category Of white liars, elegant
swlndiers and thousand other
samples of the same ilk. and only pull
up for moment at the door of that
peculiar and stiff-necked people called
society poachers and poacheresses by
this uncomplimentary designation is
meant those married men and women
who play the part OF human spiders
and seek to entangle in their tolls
those poor foolish flies who have not
yet had their wings scorched by matri-

enough to indulge in a naughty little
futter at the expense Of some one else's
husband or wife. Unfortunately this
is kind OF pastime too much in vogue
nowadays. and, moreover, one for
which both sexes are equally response
bic and. therefore. equally to blame.
1t Is the old story of 1.-The dog in the
m u,ith hn ~r;n
the forbidden fruit thrown in by way
OF appendix. Leaving altogether I'M
touched the graver bearings of the
question II Is surely an unworthy ac-
ton on the part of any true sportsman
to poach. however slightly, within the
preserves which are distinctly those of
friend and neighbor. If game is to be
hunted down and bagged let 1t be done
openly and in the legitimate field. but
not In the spirit of the common poach-
er, who comes like thief in the night
just to seek and carry eff whatsoever
happens to natter his fancy of the mo-
ment. Inordinate vanity and fever
ish thirst for notoriety are the prime
movers in this most undignifled cpl
demic and as a rule its real victims are
poor unmarried girls, who have to sit
by and see their proper place in So
ciety usurped by INSCRIPTIONS ma rons.
These are not content with having had
their own day, and jolly good one too,
but are still bent on holding the game
exclusively in their own hands and
keeping their spinster sisters out Of
the running. Granted that these flirta-
lions are as harmless as milk and pure
as snow, they are always food for gos-
sip, II not scandal. 1t is true that in
some cases. from sheer heartache, a
man will cease to reason with his wife
and out OF very desperation end by
going and doing likewise" himself;
but this is miserable relaxation,
which only degrades the offended to
the same level as the aggressor. A
decisive rally among men Is what Is
really wanted to strike at the root of
the evil, and although this would pro-
woke unlimited spark-fying on the
part Of the matrOns and bachelors the
world would feel all the brighter for
the eruption and soon shake itself
down into newer and safer hobbies.

GOLD ERA IN SOUTH AFRICA.
The Telegraph Has Advanced Even
More Speedily Than the Railway

More Speedily Than the Rat,wav.
In measuring the advance of a new
country We look naturally in the first
place to the development of it's public
works, says the Nineteenth Century
The establishment of the gold industry
on the Randi has proved most effect
i've stimulus to railway construction in
South Africa. To-day johannesburg
built on land which in 1856 was part of
an absolutely barren waste-is ap-
preached by three distinct lines which
connect it directly with the four chief
ports of South Africa-Delagao Bay,
Durham, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town
and of these lines, the earliest, which
uaverses the Free State from end to
end and links the Randi with the Cape
colony. was not opened until July
1892. The Pretoria-Delagoa Bay line
was completed in the autumn of 1894
and the extension Of the Randi railway
to CEarlestown, the connecting point
with the Natal line, was only effected
few months ago. These. together
with some subsidiary lines. represent
a total of 1000 miles OF railway con-
structed mainly under the stimulus of
the gold industry in the Transvaal.
10 this total two considerable pieces
OF railway construction, accomplished
in the interest of the gold industry
in the Chartered companys territories,
must be added. OF these the first ex-
tended the main trunk line of Africa
from Kimberley succe Ssively toVryburg
and Mafeking, in 1890 and 1894, and
the second, the Beira line, by securing
a rapid passage through the Fly coun-
try brought Salisbury into easy COM
munication with the east coast of At
RIGA at the port so named. Taken to-
gether, they measure 342 miles. 1t
should be added also that the extension
OF the trunk line from Mafeking to-
ward Buluwayo is in process of con-
struction. To have driven 1850 miles
Of railway in six years is a remarkable
achievement for country in which the
European population is still consider
ably under three-quarters Of a million,
and which has not hitherto been char
acterized by the rapidly of its prog
ress. The telegraph has advanced fur
Their and more speedily than the rail
way. Here the chief gain has been
in the vast regions northward of Linz
popo, opened up by the Chartered COM
pany. The wires were carried from
Mafeking to Victoria in December,
1891; they reached Salisbury, S19 miles
beyond Mafeking, in February, 1892,
and to-day Geographic communication
has been established between Salisbury
and Blantyre, in Nyasaland.

Early one morning recently Oscar
Pinkham and James Mcclure, two
young men of Dover Point, while walk
ing on the beach near the residence of
the former, discovered a half-grown
deer sitting on a cake of ice and leis-
urely floating down the Piscataqua
river. AS soon as they recovered from
their surprise they gave chase and with
assistance succeeded, after much effort,
in launching boat from the ice-bound
shore. The deer was soon forced to
take to the short on the Newington
side, but a sudden impulse again
changed his course and for a second
time he took to the icy water OF the
river, this time to be captured with the
assistance of other boatmen in the vi
entity. The animal is now on exhibit

The Easter egg commentaries a saIe
of indulgencies, doubtless in the middle
ages profitable enough. Devout cathol-

eggs during Lent, hence the custom first
OF making presents of farm house eggs

limitations in chocolate or sugar. An
other indulgence of the same kind has
probably been noticed by English tour
lists at Rouen. The magnificent tower
OF the cathedral called the Tour dc
Beurre. or Butter tower, owes its origin
to epicureanism on the one hand and
priestly ingenuity on the other. The
