Eeau Brummell, aftex having been the
friend OF the prince regent, died In
poverty, friendless imbecile. Born in
177s, George Bryan Brammell was edu,
Gated at Elton, where he made name
for social aplomb, readiness of repartea
and fastidious neatness in dress. He
went to the Oriel college, Oxford, for a
years. He was presented with ooronet7
cy by the prince OF Wales in the Tenth
Hussars, and for soma years enjoyed
the friendship Of the prince, who was
afterward George Nv. At last they
quazreled, but "Beau" Brummell held
his own in society until gambling losses
made him flee the country. In 1880 he
was appointed British consul at Caen.
Ills creditors closed round him, and in
May, 1885, he was cast into prison. His
spirit seemed to have been broken, and
in 1887 he showed signs of imbecilityi'
and died at the Asylum OF the Bon

THE CUCUMBER WORM.

A Parasite, That Does Much Damage and
IL Hard to Fight.
Larvae of the neat cucumber worm
may be found by the wholesale in some
gardens, running pickles or cucumbers.
The larva is easily recognizable; it is
about one inch long and Of a yellowish
white color with q greenish tinge. On
each segment are few slightly elevated
shining dots, from each of which fine
hair issues. The head of the larva is
yellow with a brown margin. The illus
tration herewith represents the cucum-
Der as affected; the larvae generally be-
gin to appear about the middle of July
and continue their depredations until
late in September, feeding on the flesh
of the cucumber, rendering it unfit for
use, and causing premature decay.
Often several specimens are found on a
single cucumber. When mature the

Poor Nan. Her face held a strangely

"Oh!" she said, chokingly, what per-

cruel deceiver was John Harris. Had
he not that very morning, aye less than

Grape vines left imprinted during The
summer exhaust themselves by pro-
ducing an enormous amount of useless
wood. In the fall most of the new
roots are cut out, and those that re-
main are allowed very few buds. Into
these all the strength of the vine is
thrown. Some strong-growing va
rieties, like the Rogers Hybrid, have
been known to make 10 to 20 feet of
long, slim cane. If pinched back when
the vine has grown shoots three or four

With better understanding Of the
w transient nature of the many phys

the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis

ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
~ 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 it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-

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. 1t
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of q laxative,

"How-how did you come to be here ?"

Followed you," said John cheerfully,,
but his voice was a little unsteady.
'Nan, was I right in thinking you said
just now that you loved me?"
Nan arose and looked at him re.
