Gladness Comes

With better understanding Of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant 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
all important, III 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, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of n 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.

New York Fashion Letter.

The tailor gown with a slight de-
crease in the skirt is one of the
favorite Spring costumes. While
the newest skirt for utility dresses
are somewhat smaller, the evening
toilettes and costumes of gauzy
fabrics retain the fullness of the
past winter, but the tendency of all
skirts of the present epoch is to
bring the greater part Of the full
ness directly in the back. Street
costumes are popular made with an
Elton Jacket, garment which will
largely supersede the blazer for the
coming summer. The Elton is cut
rather short on the hips with point
ed or square postillion effects in
the back and with front orna-
mented with plain or fancy revers.
The new Louis XIV coat models are
very elegent with wide revers and
with their hip pockets on the vest.
French challies show designs in
Dresden effects, with Empire gar
lands and with Persian colols.
Dresses made of these fabrics are
ornamented with Marie Antoinette
fichus and are much trimmed with
ribbons. For these items of in
formation we are indebted to the
Mcdowell Fashion Journals, which
are always abundantly rich in des-
criptions and designs.

can do anything in the line of pros
pecting, excepting those &C
puainted with the country. There

1.-THE popularity Of the Irish potato,
so called. is in the fact that 1t is not
Irish" observed one of the potato ex-
perts of the agricultural department.
"The potato originally grew wild in
the fields of Chile, Peru and Mexico.
Sir John Hawkins did not take 1t to
Ireland until 1886. Sir Francis Drake
took it to England 90 years afterward.
It did better, however. in Ireland than
anywhere else and got its name, no
doubt, because Of its early and extensive
cultivation in Ireland. Botanically 1t
was originally known as tho Batata vir-
giniana, but in after years 1t was prop
erly identified and classified as the So
lanum tuberorum. AS the winter stock
is now being laid in, 1t may be well for
the inexperienced to be able to select
good potatoes.
"Cut the raw potato in two and rub
the halves together. II the moisture on
rubbing is soft and liquid enough to
drop, the potato will be soggy and set
when cooked. Rub the halves briskly
around ON each other. A potato that
will be dry and mealy when cooked will
give out good, rich froth, while a
poor one will show only watery froth
by the same action. The pieces will
stick together If the potato is good
one. OF course the whole thing is to test
the amount of starch in the potato, fol-
the more starch the better the potato.
If, however, a person intends to lay In
very large supply, the best plan, Of
course, Is to cook them. and there will
be no chance of mistake. "-Washing'

Debating Society.

The question of a debating society dur
ing the winter is being discussed gener-
ally among the frequenters Of public plac-
es. 1t used to be custom in years gone
by to have such an institution every sea-
son, but of late, from some cause, IL has
not flourished. There is sufficient talent
in our city to make a society interesting
and it only wants some one to make the
effort and it will go as OF old.
Several gentlemen remarked in The pre-
sence of our reporter that they would
willingly contribute toward the expense OF
hiring room or hall il the movement
took some tangible form. Many of the
brightest orators OF the past and those of
to- day look back to the debating schools
of their boyhood as the starting point in
their history. We heartily endorse such
society and only hope that some one
will make an effort to organize and per
feet one here. We shall be glad to give
full report of the proceedings, which
would no doubt be interesting to oui
readers.
