Gladness Comes

VxTith better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical 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 a 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, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
.Ased and gives most general satisfaction.

Early Maturity.


The environment of cattle has much
to do with their development and thrift,
and In this position we have still a good
deal to learn. Doctor Miles In his work
on stock breeding instances the Kerry
cattle of Ireland, which, in that coun-
try, having been kept on scanty ra-
tions, do not breed till they are five or
six years old, and in every way are ex-
ceedingly slow In maturing. Some of
these Kerry cattle that were imported
to New England. and put on better feed,
in few generation bred readily at
three years old. The period for ma
turing was shortened nearly, or quite,
one-half. The early maturity of the
Shorthorn and Hereford is the result of
continued environment suited to that
end for many generations:

Value of Sweet App,e..

The apple crop in most localities is
this year large one, and, as usual, in
years when apples are abundant, the
sweet varieties are likely in many
places to go to waste. That they are
not in as good demand as the sour ap-
pie is due to their inferiority or sup
posed inferiority for cooking. A sour
apple in pie duly sweetened to take off
the surplus acidity, is, indeed, better
than sweet apple put to the same use.
But farther than this we think the
superiority will be with the sweet ap-
pie. Many varieties are richer and
better for eating raw, while for bak
ing whole the sweet apple Is certainly
superior One of the best ways of
eating baked sweet apples Is with
milk. Sour apples when baked are
too acid for this, and besides, they
break down in cooking, and thus their
juices dissolve in the milk, while the
slices of baked apple retain their shape
and distinctive flavor.

American Horses in England.


During the past year no less than TO-
600 American horses have been sold in
London alone. A large number are
used for the omnibuses and street cars.

fess not to touch them, the former be-

majority of foreign horses are some
what soft, while, as a rule, he declares
that at his price he can get plenty Of
well-bred English horses, and that they
do his work very well. The fact is,
however, that there are almost as many
American horses drawing cabs as
American subjects riding in them.
After American and Canadian horses
have changed hands under the ham,
mer they are resold without anything
being said about their nationality.

Queer Belief. Abou. tho Form.

Tho fern was supposed to seed only on
St. Johns night and thus to possess
those singular properties fer which it
had become almost sacred. The gather
ing of the seed was believed to be at
tended with considerable danger. Poyet,
i'll his "Pandemonium," published in
1854, says: much discourse hath been
about gathering of fern seed (Which is
looked upon as a magical herb) OH the
night OF midsummer's eve, and 1 re-
member I was told of one who went to
gather it, and the spirits whisked by his
ears like bullets and sometimes struck
his hat and other parts of his body. In
fine, though no apprehended he had got
ten a quantity of it and secured it in pa
pers and box beside, when he got home
ho found all empty. But most probable
this appointing of time and hours is of

Nfeteoric Bodies,

Tho opinion is attributed to some astron-
omers that it is possible for tho earth, un-
der certain circumstances, to capture as
satellites some of the rowing meteorio bod
les known to DO so numerous in space in
stead of bringing them to tho surface as
aorolitcs, and that, as these bodies are too
small to bo scen-a mass of 100 tons boing
invisible mt 500 or !, 200 miles when bright
ly lightcd-the Garth mny be attended by
hundreds Of invisible moons. Sir j. Her
schel is cited as even of tho opinion that
they may be largo enough to DO visible for
brief intervals whom beyond tho carth's
shadow, and Sir John Lubbock has actu-
ally supplied formulp for calculating the
distances from observations of this kind.
NJ. Petit, also, director Of tho observatory
at Toulouse, is quoted as having boon led
by observation and calculation to conclude
that tho Garth is attended by mt least ono
motooric stone of considerable sizc-ono
about 26 times nearer han the moon-its
orbit being 5000 miles from tho carth's
surface, tho tiny moon revolving round
tho earth in 3 hours and go minutes.

Among the artists resident i'll Glas-
gov who had acquired before 1910 some
what of a reputation Graham Gilbert,
Horatio Macculloch and Daniel Macneo
are those most widely known t. general
fame. To these men fell the prizes of
the profession such rs they were at that
time. Prices were then on q scale that
would not please the popular landscape
and portrait painters Of today.
The smaller men-not very numer-
Gus, it is true, and yet some of them
most deserving-had n tolerably hard
struggle for existence and had to exc
out their income by other work than
that of regular picture painting. Mac
culloch and Macnee themselves made
money i'll their younger days by decorat-
ing the lids of snuffboxes. The average
painter was frequently pretty much of q
bohemian, living from hand to mouth
and glad to clear off n bridesmaids bill
by painting the portraits of the worthy
shopkeeper and his wife.

Ing Passengers In Tow.
Early IL morning the engineer and
fireman of tho Santa Flo overland train,
bound east, when near Cajon pass, i'm
agined they saw something on the track
right ahead. Thinking the train was
about to be wrecked they both jumped.
The engineer was rather badly hurt, but
when the fireman picked himself IN out
of the dust he found that the engine had
made kindling wood Of a wagon to
which two horses had been attached.
Their. driver had seen the headlight of
the engine and had jumped in time to
save himself, and tho animals them.
selves were cropping the dried grass
along the roadside, which showed that
they had sfot been greatly disturbed by
the accident.
But the train, with nobody at tho en-
gine's throttle, vas plunging away
through the darkness, the passengers
asleep in their berths, utterly uncon-
scious that they were being drawn by a
wild locomotive.
The fireman, who had been left be-
hind. thought he would try to overtake
the flying train on foot. Then he changed
his mind and, jumping astride one Of
the horses, he set out after tho runaway
train. He knew it must stop shortly, as
1t had to climb n very steep grade, and
II the fire under the boilers was not kept
mp the supply Of steam would not fur
nish sufficient pressure to keep the
wheels going around. The vagrant train
did stop a milo and a half from where
the accident occurred. There did not
seem to be any reason for an Interrupt
ton of the journey just at that point,
and so the conductor and brakeman hur-
ried ahead with their lanterns to ask tho
engineer what had given out
When they found the cab empty, of
course the trainhands were very much
mystifed. They asked each other a good
many questions, and were engaged in
looking up theories to account for the
strange disappearance of the engine
crew when the fireman came Looping
along on the horse he had borrowed.
After explanation had been made, he
turned his horse toward this city and
brought the first tidings tho railroad
people had of the missing train. A hack
was sent out to the scene with another
engineer, and as soon as steam was
raised the overland went on over the
hill through Cajon pass. The same car
ringe brought the injured engineer to
the city.-San Francisco Examiner.

Is a Countess and a Brewer.

A unique occupation for q woman is
reported from Berlin. The proprietor of
4 large brewery there received a request
from Il Russian lady to be shown the
interior arrangements of the brewery.
After looking at various processes
through which the golden beverage has
to go the lady inquired for several de-
tails of the pneumatic machinery in tho
malthouse, which proved to the brewer.
to his great surprise, that she was per-
fectly familiar with every detail of tho
entire complicated machinery. Upon in
quiry it was learned hat the lady, a
Russian countess, had a large acreage
Of barley growing OH her estate, and in
order to increase her revenue from this
source she had built d brewery, which she
managed all alone. She was interested
very much i'll the pneumatic mailing
apparatus because she could not get
skilled labor necessary for tho produc-
ton of malt OH her Russian estates.
Tasting tho product of tine Berlin brew
cry, she stated that her own beer was
not much inferior to the German prod
net. When q few days later the brewer
received some samples of the lady's
Russian beer, he pronounced it excel
lent and not inferior in any respect to
the best Bohomiun or German beer.
This lady is believed to be tho only
woman brewer in Europe. -Philadel-
