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 Il constipated condi-
ton OF the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
Iy 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, 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,
enc The system is regular, laxatlves or

NJ. Littre, of Paris, who recently
investigated number of alleged mi
raculous cures, says that they can be
accounted for without supposing q
miracle. He explains that in many
of such cures there is muscular ac-
tion of the affected part. The muscle
contracts energetically; it breaks
down the pathological adhesions, if
they exist, and restores the bones vio.
lently to their place. In commenting
on this, the New York Medical Record
says: "What the surgeon has to do
with his haud is here done by an in
huence exerted on the muscles them
selves, and in far more benefcient
manner than surgery can effect. the
exciting cause of these energetic con-
fractions is that which we find in all
miracles of this sort-a strong per-
suasion, complete confd ence. It is
the brain and feeling generated by the
mind which give strength to the per-
son who thinks strongly. A gouty
man, who has long hobbled about on
his crutch, finds his legs and power to
run with them if pursued by a wild
bull. The foeblest invalid, under the
influence OF delirium or other strong
excitement, will astonish her nurse by
the sudden accession Of strength she
may exhibit.

the effort to combine the churches
in universal movement for the sub
stltution Of arbitration for war in IN
ternational disputes is being prose-
cuted steadily, notes the New York
Post. The churches are actively rep
resented by an executive committee
with headquarters in Richmond, Va.
This committee aims to secure the
concurrence of the churches of Chris.
tendon, through their representa-
tives, in petition addressed to the
governments of thirtytwo Christian
countries in their respective language.
The representative bodies of most Of
the charches in the United States and
Great Britain and Ireland, and a few
on the Continent of Europe, have CON
cured in the petition, and signed it.
In Great Britain this result was ac-
complished chiefly by cooperating
committee, appointed by the American
Committee, ". Evans Darby, IL. J.,
being its Chairman. A number of
men in Great Britain and Ireland,
prominent in church or State, have
associated themselves with this com.
mittee. To secure the cooperation
OF the churches on the Continent, the
Executive Committee commissioned
DIR. Darby. A recent letter from him
TO DR.. W. A. Campbell, the Chairman
OF the Executive Committee, reports
gratifying progress among the Protes-
tant churches. Of more importance
though, in Roman Catholic countries,
DR.. Darby wrote, should be the effort
TO secure the cooperation Of the
church. To this end he suggested
that the aid of Car dinal Gibbons or of
Cardinal Ireland should be obtained.
The suggestion has been adopted, and
the church dignitaries named, with
others. have been asked to further the
work on the Continent. 1t is expected
that they will cheerfully aid, as the
Columbia Congress of the Catholic
Church in the United States is one Of
the sjgnatory bodies.

TO SIMPLIFY PLEADING.
Important Changes To BE Made In
Vermont Law Practice.

BELLOWS FALLS, Vt. Jan. l5-lmpor-
taut changes. improving and simplifying
pleading and practice in Vermont courts are
probable. The committee chosen by the
Vermont Bar Association at recent meeting
to report suggestions for the new rules To an
adjourned meeting has made its recon-
mendations public for discussion among
lawyers.
They propose to follow closely the rules Of
Massachusetts practice. the lexibility Of
which has large advantage over the old
rules. and they do not introduce startling
changes. Changes in some form are sure to
come soon. and there is manifest advantage
II adopting those already tested by other
states.
Among the changes advised are the reduc-
ing of pleadings to three divisions OF personal
actions: First, actions of contract including
assumsit, covenant debt. except for penal
ties; second. actions of tort. including tres
pass. trover and action for penalties; third,
actions of replcvin. Important changes in
the rules Of the declarations aud answers are
made. The general demurrer it is proposed

are well enough and we'll worth seeing, but
the city itself and the wibter life within its
