feature OF which will be the "Mid-
winter Fair March," composed by
Soils and dedicated to the Mid
winter fair.
Mr.. Rose received advice from
Washington today, that even ii
the Mexican exhibit at Atlanta
had not been attached, it would
have been impossible to obtain
permission from the United States
government to use it in time for
the exhibition. There will not be
therefore, any regret for its absence.
Additions are constantly being
made to our own Mexican exhibit
in the basement of the building,
and it promises to BIZ the feature of
the fair.
An extra force of workmen were
put to work in the building this
morning, swelling an army of
workers to over two hundred.
While all is dire confusion at
present, everything will be put
in place by tomorrow afternoon,
when the doors of the fair will be
thrown open to the public.

Gludness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
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. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur.
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep.
utable 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
NAV be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then 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.

New Words.

New Orleans Times
is a matter of surprise that the mi,
versailles of the bicycle has not
produced an extensive vernacular.
AS q matter of fact, the slang en-
pressions in general use are but few.
Bike is simply an abominable alb
breviation of bicycle. Cyclist is a
legitimate word, that is shorter than
wheelman or wheelwoman. In far
away New Zealand the awful word
"cyclodOnna" has been coined as a
substitute for wheelwoman. In
many western towns the fair rider is
called a "bloomer,' without regard
to her costume. The word ''scorch.
er" as indicating Il speedy cyclist, is
fairly ingrafted upon the language.
In Chicago, however, the "scorcher'
is called a "scoot.' The technicali-
ties of the machine have led to at
tempts on the part OF the young
men to coin expressions. "Yourtir e
is p%unctured" indicates that the
story you are telling lacks the proba-
BILE element of truth. Reckless state
ments hre called "coasting." Avery

The Only Woman Mason.

National Recorder.
There has been just one woman Ma
son. She "peeked," was caught in the
act and forthwith initiated as the one
means by which to keep her silent
She was Lady Aldsworth.
An authentic portrait of her Lady,
ship hangs in the Masonic Temple in
New York among the rows of bearded
men who have won Masonic distinc-
ton. She was painted in the very act
of laying her hand upon the "booke"
and swearing eternal loyalty to the Ma
sonic VOWS Lady Aldsworth,s 8 brother,
who was the son of an Irish nobleman,
entertained his lodge on an evening
that is vaguely located in the last CEN
tury at his home. Domarite Castle.
His sister, who was not free from
the vice OF her sex, crept to the corri-
dor outside the room where the meet
ing was being held and watched the
ceremonies until she became so over
come by the sense of her transgression
that, woman-like, she shrieked and
tainted. This aroused the sentinel,
who, in turn, summoned his brother
Masons. They deliberated until 8
o'clock in the morning, hesitating how
best to protect themselves. Then it
was decided to have gentle Lady Aids
worth register the Masonic VOWS. She
did so, and bscame the only woman
Mason who ever lived. Whether she
proved an efficient member has never
been recorded, but it Is to be hoped
that the gallant Masons who initiated
her never had reason to regret their
step.
