THE BEST @
SPRING MEDICINE

Is SIMMONS LIVER EGUEAToR-don't
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes choked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria Fever and Ague and Rheuma-
tism. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. 1t also
regulates the Liver-keeps it properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body invigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is in. Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR IS SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make a tea of the
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU-
LATOR. You'll find the RED z on every
package. Look for it.

Indians warrants him in saying that the
latter are of Syrian origin, and arc, in
fact, Syrians now, having the customs
and language. II was astonished at the
richness of this language" no said, land
its wonderful capacity for accurate express
sion
Il found many puro Syrian words in it,
rs, for instance, Encas and Solomon
Chute, among proper names. Tho words
of tho language arc historical and tradi-
tlonal, and observe the same laws as those
of the Syrian language. think tho Ian
guage of the Thompson river Indians is
one Of tho Toranian tongues. There are
direct Syrian words in it.
"Then there arc other evidences that
these Indians arc tho Syrian descendants.
Their medicine man is the same as tho
Syrian seer. The burial customs are to
this day tho same. Besides this there is
the character of the people, who arc Syri
ans i'll thought, habits of life and general
customs.

has been made commonplace by modern

NEW WORKS. FIRE FIGHTERS.
Ono Particular In Which They DiGor From
All Other Fircmen.

All Other Eircmen.
"New York firomon," said Battalion
Chief Burns of tho fro Department. eight
fires in different way from tho 1romon
of any othor city in tho country, and I
don't know but tho world. They fight
almost exclusively on the inside. The
method in al other cities is to fight from
tho outside, except whom the fires are in
Significant. You will notice horo that tho
first thing tho Gromon do when they reach
tho scene of u fire is to tako tho end of
thoir hose and dash into tho burning
building. They don't loso an instant's
timc, and they do this no matter how
great tho fire is or what the danger may
appear to DO. If the fire is in tho bago-
ment, they get thoro II they can. If 1t is
OH tho top floor, they get there. Whorcvor
1t Is they get tho nearest to it they can, so
that thoy can 10 sure that tho water strikes
the spot that is burning and is not vast
cd. They stay inside just as long rs hui
man endurance can stand it. One of their
number falling from exhaustion or over
como by smoke does not drive tho rest
AWAY. Ho is dragged out to the air, and
the others stay until it Is impossible to
stay an instant longer, Then they retire,
and tho fight goes on from tho fro escapes,

oGTCOb. lHO SbECCu Is lIO luSU Stslllu. w non
the flremcn arc driven there, there is little
hopo of saving the burning building, and
attention is devoted almost exclusively to
tho adjoining property.
"Now York firemon are quicker on the
scene Of q fire than are the firemen of most
other Cities" went on tho chief. "Tho
engine and truck houses are so located, no
matter from what box the alarm is sound
cd, either truck or an engine can reach
that box within two minutes after tho
alarm. When you consider that the horses
have to be hitched, that ut night the men
have to dress themselves and get down to

and all tho little details that arc incident
to getting out of the houses, you con real

Decidedly safer, think. Tho mon

them, and there arc fewer accidents. The
danger in them is from tho Wrapping or tho
cracking Of the iron framework. Wrought
iron warps, and cast iron cracks, but it
takes intense heat to do either, and usually
the heat will drive the mon out before
there is any danger. There is even less

JEWS IN FRANCE.
The Regulations Tor tho Race Tint Were
Put Forward by Napoleon.

A year later, after careful and mature
deliberations, there appeared an imperial
decree not only organizing tho jewish
church and regulating its relations with
the state, but defining tho civil and polit-
ical status of Hebrews. They were pro-
nounced to be citizens like other men, but
they could not exact higher interest than
o per cent, while if they should demand
over 10 they should DO punished for usury.
Every Jew in the northeastern depart
ment must have q license to do business
and a notarial authorization for pawn
brokerage. Any jew not domicilcd ut tho
moment in Alsacc might not thereafter nc
quire domicilo in that department., and
could do SO in others only by becoming q
landowner ami tilling the soil. Every Jew
should bc liable to military service, and
unlike his Christian fellow citizens might
not provide q substitute. Moreover, Eo
must adopt and use IL family name.
This stringent law was rigidly enforced,
except in Bordeaux, tho Girondo and the
Landcs, where no oficnso had been given.
Its effect Was steady and sure. Before
long first one and then another Israclito
was exempted from its rigors until finally,
in 1872, the department or the man still
subject to its provisions was the exception

They are, moreover, passionate patriots,
and to tho casual observer scarcely distin-
guishable in lnien and appearance from
other citizens. The temporary contraven-
ton of tho civil code, both as to spirSJ and

for the most part escaped any criticism or
