\GTith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills. which vanish before proper eff
forts-geatle eefforts-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 Il 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 debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in 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. laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease. one
may be commended TO the most slliilful
physicians, but if in need of a laXati-e,
one should have the best. and with tlls
well-inforined everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most largely

The Church of St. Nicaise, in the city
OF Rheims. is surrounded with pillars,
one of which sways perceptibly with
the ringing of one of the bells of the
tower. When the bell is rung it causes
the top of this pillar to sway to the eN-
tent of seven inches on each side, al
though the base Of the pillar is i'm
movable, and the stones are so firmly
ce1aented as to seem like Il solid piece of
masonry. Although each of the four
bells in the tower is about the same dis
tance from the trembling pillar, only
one of them has any effect on it, the
ringing of the others either singly or
all together not causing it to tremble
in the least. When a board was placed
on the pillar hearing two glasses of
water, and the bell was rung, at the
fifth stroke of the bell the two glasses
were thrown off. Curiously enough. it
was an adjoining pillar that formerly
sWayed, then it became immovahle, and
some years ago the present trembling
pillar became the eccentric one.-Cin-

A UNIQUE VILLAGE.
1t Is Almost Ideal in Many Ways-Two
Beautiful BouIevart;s.

Along the Second street pike. just be-
yond the village of Bethayres and 11E
miles from Huntington Valley station.
on the Newton railroad, John Pitcairn,
q wealaty Philadelphiap, founded a
little settlement several years ago for
SWedenborgians, or members of the
Church of the New Jerusalem. He
bought large tract of land, built a
fine house and surrounded it with con-
vcniences. The country, naturally pret-
ty, attracted others of his faith, who
viewed with favor the idea of the sec
tartan community. They secured lots
from the original property, which was
nearly square mile in extent, and put
up houses. Eight or nine families are
now included in the settlement and
more are to join it, only awaiting a
favorable opportunity to build.
The place has no name other than
Bethayres, which it takes from its close
proximity to that old town. 1t is, how
ever, entirely distinct from Bethayres
proper. Every house within its borders
is large and handsomely finished, in
side and out. There are improvements
in this new and well-reguated little
settlement Of which a municipality
would be proud.
The houses are built along two beau
tifui boulevards. one of which is three
fourths of a mile long and the other
somewhat shorter. The driveways, of
hard crushed stone. are flanked on each
side by a strip of sod, with young shade
trees planted a. regular intervals. Out
side of these green borders are the side
walks. The larger of the bOulevards
has half a dozen rounded turns in its
course and the other is laid out with a
proportionate number. The effect is
novel and pleasing and reminds the
visitor of a well-kept park.
y complete system of underground
sewers drains the village and an cleo
tric-iight plant furnishes illumination
for all the inhabitants. Water is dis
tributed under good pressure from a
huge tank. the pumping being done by

And she had spurned his warning

of the train which was conveying tu

death; had only announced her deter

muffied murmur of voices. the soldiers
bent forward eagerly, and a message
was passed down their line from Or

amazed surprise. Mrs. Tailyour pressed
her companions hand tighter, the ter
rible moment had arrived-now would
the girl face it? Was it possible that
she possessed sufficient strength of
mind and body for the horrible ordeal
which she had set herself?
Then Mrs. Tailyour saw Capt. Fer
guson emerge from the station with a
daZed look of CONSERVATION on his face,
the result evidently of great and over
powering emotion.
He came hurriedly toward them max
ing signs to Mrs. Tailyour, which she
failed to understand.

crying.

dead: he is alive--I see it on your face !:

when someone put Capt. Ferguson

HEAVEN ON Earth.

The heavens may lose their blue and gold
The lilies scentless lie;
The roses. when the winds blow cold,
May fade, and fall, and die;
The merles may hide in bush and brake,
The lark and thrush be dumb:
But Love can constant summer make
Within the walls of home.
Though tumults loud may rise and reign
In market place and square;
Though greed and strife in street and lane
Make discord on the air;
Yet angry feelings enter not,
And discords never come
To noble hall or lowly cot,
If there is Peace at home.
And though the years bring pain and woe
And many an hour of care:
Though soft cheeks pale and hollow grow
And silvery white the hair:
Still SORROWS lighter seem to bear,
And fuller joys become
"A heaven on earth is surely where
Love reigns with Peace at home.

Poppies Two Thousand Years Old.

The extraordinary resuscitating pow

lustration few years ago in the silver
mines at Lauriam. The mines had been
abandoned more than 1000 years ago
as unworkable, and consisted for the
most part of the Stag" produced by the
workings of the miners. An enterpris-
ing Briton discovered that the Stag
contained plenty of silver, which could
easily be removed by modern appli-
ances. When the Stag was removed TO
the furnace the next visit to the mine
found the entire space covered with
a most gorgeous show of popies from
the seed left under the Stag when the
mine was abandoned. After their 20
centuries rest they had bloomed MS
