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, Syrupof Figs, prompts
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects arc due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, thaty you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
III in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laSa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sllillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

POWERFUL SHELLS.
Method Whereby Nitroglycerine
Can Be Fired from Guns.
Testing Powder for Use by the Navy
Terms of Acceptance Of Ram Katahdin
-Flagship Philadelphia on an
Extended Cruise.

capt. "A. IL. Manning, formerly police
commissioner of Seattle, Wash, says
he has discovered q method whereby
nitroglycerine may be used as an ex-
plosive in shells fired from guns with
out the least danger to those employing
it and with the greatest effect upon
An object or enemy. He asserts that
it can be used with perfect safety in
the discharge of the biggest cannon.
Such device, Capt. Manning an
nounces, the government has long been
searching for, and he has accordingly
taken steps to bring the matter to the
attention of the war department..
Tests Of powder for 13-inch guns for
use on board the battle ships of the
navy are now in progress at the Indian
Head proving grounds. The samples
which have just been fired are those
of two lots manufactured by the Cali
fornia powder works. The results OBJ
tanned from these samples have been
satisfactory, q maximum velocity of
1850 feet per second having been OBJ
tanned with pressure in the neighbour
hood of Is tons. Other samples will be
shortly received from the California
powder works, which will also be test
ed.
The board of bureau officers appoint
ed to ascertain the condition of the
ram Katahdin, for acceptance, has made
its report to Secretary Herbert. In it's
report the board recommends that $4,-
800 be retained from the contract price
OF S9ao,ooo us penalty for overweight
in machinery, and that about $4,000,
inclusive of this sum, be retained by
the government to cover the cost Of
putting the finishing touches to the
craft. The Katahdin will be placed in
commission without delay.
: The flagship Philadelphia has left for
the Southern California coast. She
will go to nearly all the lower coast
ports, making an extended cruise, and
while in Santa Barbara channel will
perform her gun drill and target prac-
tce. Admiral Beardslee, accompanied
by Mrs. Beardslce, has left for Santa
Barbara.
Some of the officers and one-half Of
the crew of the battle ship Texas will
be sent from Norfolk to Mare island.
California, to man the war ship Monad-
mock when the Texas is placed out of
commission. The Monadnock will be
placed in active service in about six
weeks. The other members of the
Texas crew will be sent to the ram Ka-
tahdin.

Regarding Second Class Rates--A
Proposal to Make a Sweeping

Special to the Register.
Washington. February 1S-Secretary
Brown and Mr.. Rathburn. of Kanawha,
of the West Virginia State Board of
Agriculture. were agin in Washington
yesterday. on their way from the meet
ing of the Board at Martinsburg. They
saw Congressman Miller, and at their
instance the Congressman to-day intro
duced a bin to make an important
amendment TO the postal laws, allowing
certain classes of mail matter that now
pay frst-class rates 10 go at second
class rates. The interest of the State
Board of Agriculture in the bill is due
To- the fact that if it became a law the
Board would be enabled to save quite
q tidy sum of money every year in send
ing out it's publication. as would the
State Board of Health. labor unions
and other similar organizations. The
proposed amendment admits to the
mails as seCOpd-clasS matter. on the
same basis as newspapers, all period
ical publications issued from a known
place of publication ut stated intervals
and as frequently as four times a year
by or under the auspices of beneficial
or fraterual society. or other OrganiZa-
tiOn. under the lodge system. and bear
ing a bona fde membership OF not less
than loco persons or by = regularly
incorporated institution of harmony. or
q a.e .1s4
unions. and all publications of strictly
professional, literary. historical, or sci
eutifc societies. including the bulle-
tins issued by State Boards of Health
and state Boards of Agriculture.
This is a very comprehensive amend
ment 90 the postal laws and would, if
adopted. greatly increase the mass Of
10 would thus largely increase the an
uual deficiency in the pOstoffice de-
partuent account. and for this reason
10 i5 altogether probable the depart
ment viii not approve the bill. The
department is now trying TO deprive Of
the low newspaper rate a class OF pub

FLIGHT OF A CANNON BALL.

The most careful experiments ever
made on the flight of a cannon ball
were those conducted by the English
authorities during the jubilee year.
The experiment was made with a twen-
ty-two ton gun, and it was found that
the ball fred from the monster made
a fight Of 12S1a feet over twelve miles
before it struck the ground. Careful
timing with an improved chronometer
proved that the ball was sixty-nine
and a half seconds making the twelve
mile journey, and that the highest point
attained was 1900 feet above the
earth's surface.-Chicago Chronicle.

tackled to the velOurs The belt is of
the velOurs. but the stock collar is of
plain green silk, with large sleeves of
the figured silk banded with galoon at
the wrists. The amount of ornamental
ton in this dress is entirely safe but,
as was limited above. this matter can
be easily Overdone. The general ten
dency of fashions is toward crossing
the line of safety. and this very fact
gives TO the woman of taste her Oppor-
tunity Let her, so long as furbelows
are much used, stick to simplicity
gowns. rather than run in danger of
being too fancifully dressed. She will
thereby be more distinctive, and, no
matter what the fashion may be, her
simplicity cannot be out OF taste.
Silver is so cheap that jewelers. to
sell it at q good price must put beauti-
full working nship into it. and the result
is that some very beautiful work is
being done in imitation of old beaten
art and inlaying. All this is a wei
come change from the jewelry that had
no artistic recommendation. Belts of
silver wire, flexible as ribbon. and set
with richly clasped stones of secondary
value are worn, and so beautiful is the
chasing of the metal about the stones.
so intricate and delicate the weave of
the mesh, that the belts are things of
value as gifts and souvenirs, though
the actual money cost and worth is
slight FLORETTE.
