Gludness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
lcal 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 ore not due to any actual dis.
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ticn 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
ore 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 yon pur.
chase, that You have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
II in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa.
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most ssillful
physicians, but If in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most geneI al satisfaction

Soap Bubbles.

Soap bubbles may be handled in a
great many ways with beautiful ef-
fects. Some Of these we have already
described to you, and we are now going
to tell you about others, says Philadel-
phia Times. The trouble Is so little and
the result Is SO pretty that you ought
all to make the experiment when you
can conveniently do 1t.
OF course It is necessary that you
have a good solution to insure the per-
lection and the durability Of the bub-
bles, and this you may obtain by using
white CASTLE soap and tepid water.
Make a strong solution and pass 1t
through sieve to clear 1t Of the I'M
dissolved particles of soap.
The solution having been made, add
glyCerine in the proportion Of two-tifths
OF glycerine to three-fifths Of the soap
water. Shake the mixture we'll and
set the vessel away. In a little while
q film will rise to the surface; skim
this off and pour the mixture into a
bowl; it will retain Its qualities for an
indefinite time.
You may blow the bubbles with clay
pipe, or with tube of strong paper
half an inch in diameter. II the lat
ter, slit it at one end into four parts
and carefully bend back the parts at a
right angle. Now get piece of smooth
wire and bend it into a circle, about
three inches in diameter, adjusting II
on a tripod of the same material. Mois.
ten the wire with glycerlne and, hav.
ing blown a big bubble, let it rest
gently on the wire circle, to which II
will adhere, leaving the pipe. If YOU
shelter it from currents Of air 1t viii
last some time.
Having previously prepared second
wire circle, with an upright handle
moisten that also with glycerine and
hold 1t gently against the upper par
of the bubble, to which it will adhere
so closely that you may lift the bubble
UP into cylindrical form, as shown II
the illustration, and then drop 1t agar
into the form Of globe.
Another pretty experiment may b.
made with an outline cube of wire, will
a handle attached. File the wire wei

Interested in Heaven.

A minister who lost his child asked
another minister to come and preach
for him. He came, and told how he
lived on one side Of river, and felt
very little interest in the people on the
other, until his daughter was married
and went over there to live, and then
every morning he went to the window
and looked over that river, and felt
very much concerned about that town
and all the people there. Now" said
he, 81 think that as this child has
crossed the river. heaven will be much
dearer than ever it has been before"
Shall we not just let our hearts and
affections be set on the other side OF
the river? 1t is but step; 1t is but
veil; we shall soon be in the other
world.-Moody.

Removing FrsckloS.

Ledger reader asks the best way to
remove freckles. Answer. Freckles are
a growth in the skin which Is stimu-
lated by great amount Of light and
exposure to out-of-door air. Staying In
the house or keeping in the shade Will
prevent them to great extent. When
once crop Of freckles gets into a -four
ishing condition 1t is exceedingly diff
ficult to remove. Your druggist can
prepare for you solution of carbolic
acid and glycerine, and will give you
directions for using 1t. 1t must be
handled with great care, as 1t discolors
tho whole skin, and should only be ap-
piled on the freckle itself. A prepare
ton Of dioxide of hydrogen and water
In the proportion of one part Of dioTide
Of hydrogen to about 4 parts Of water
is an excellent thing for clearing the
complexion, and will remove many Of
these spots.---New York Ledger.

hey Of Cheaux, who had in his day, 90
we are told, "a great reputation for per-
epicacity." He began by the genial pre-
diction that in the year 1895 Paris

pear; that many great cities would be
burned, and that the end Of all things
would be three years later. The other

Scientific Notes.

According to M. Leon Airport, the In
PRODUCTION Of alumina into glasses pre-
vents, or at least retards, identification
produced by slow and repeated reduc'
tons of temperature. The presence OF
alumina in glass enables one to sub
stitute without inconvenience for part
of the alkaline base its equivalent OF
lime. The use Of alumina may be ex-
tended to window-glass and to drink
Eyeglasses. 1t may be best introduced
in the state of felspar.

Tho yIsIon of put1.

The vision is given to every one. A
distinct call comes. God reveals His
purpose to us In various ways. Paul
had the heavenly vision and was not
disobedient." Ours may not be so brill
liant, not so emphatic, as that which
startled Abraham. A burning bush for
Moses, fleece for Gideon, the temple
call for Samuel, the chariot Of fire for
Elisha-in these ways God spoke. The
call to us may not be so definite, yet
as real. It comes. It may not be by
over-hanging clouds, by thunder Ian
guage, by voice from Sinai, not by dew
and fleece, nor by blast from some
bugler's horn. But 1t comes-comes in
the quiet song, the spoken prayer, the
falling tear, the sudden danger, the pull
pit message. 1t comes through the
earnest look upon a struggling life, a
beseeching throng. 1t comes through a
long, faithful, prayerful look upon the
forces of wrong making for the waste

Heated Glass.

II glass be heated to the melting
point Of aluminium, the adhesion of the
metal is very marked. 1t is possible to
spread the aluminium over the surface
of the glass with an iron spatula. It is
suggested that this property may be
utilized for cementing together the
parts Of glass apparatus used in labo-
ratories. Magnesium also adheres much
more readily when heated; but the "a
cility with which 1t is oxidized renders
it less suitable for the purpose; and the
same may be said Of cadmium. Zinc
at moderately high temperature, pos
sesses similar properties. Ordinary
plumbers solder, alleged with small
percentage of magnesium, can be spread
upon hot glass like sealing-wax; but
unfortunately these alloys are speedily
attacked by the moisture Of the atmos'
phere. Tin alleged with ten per cent
of aluminium spreads easily, and is more
stable, but requires higher tempera'
ture for its use; and an alloy OF tin
with from two to five per cent of zinc
was found to work well. 1t is advisable
not to raise the temperature too high
otherwise oxidation becomes energetic
An ordinary soldering iron may BIZ
used, but an aluminium bit is prefera'
BILE. No Aux is required, but the glass
must be perfectly clean.

Honor Was Left UnuatIsfled.


Some years ago Dr. Virchow, the en-
lnent man Of science, had been sharply
criticizing Prince Bismarck, who was
then chancellor. At the end of par
ticularly bitter attack Bismarck felt
himself personally affronted and sent
seconds to Virchow with challenge 10
fight a duel. The man Of science was
found in his laboratory, hard at work
with experiments which had for their
object the discovery Of means of de-
stroying trlchinae, which were making
great ravages in Germany.
"Ah," said the doctor, "a challenge
from Prince Bismarck, Ell? Well,

preparation made with which one can
temper steel drills hard enough to drill

kind OF steel made for such purposes
Answer: Experts claim that much OF
the skill in tempering steel consists in
the handling of it, and that while there
may be preparations that have some
value, they are as nothing when COM
pared with the faculty acquired by long
experience and careful study. AS to a
special kind of steel, one must get the

Coffee Drunkards.

Coffee drunkenness is one Of the latest
dangers which doctors abroad are rails
ing their voices against. DR.. Mendel,
Of Berlin, has published a clinical
study, which is the most thorough yet
made, as he had community OF coffee
drinkers under his constant observa-
ton, the working women in and about
Essen. He found many of these wo-
men consumed over a pound Of coffee a
week. The leading symptoms OF the
ills that afflicted them were profound
depression of spirits and frequent head
aches, with insomnia. A strong dose
of coffee would relieve them for time,
then the ailment would return. The
muscles became weak and trembling,
and the hands trembled when at rest.
The victims suffered so seriously they
dared not abandon the drinking OK
coffee for fear Of death.
