A Good EaLer.

When Gustavus of Sweden was be-
sieging Prague, boor of extraordinary
aspect gained admittance to his tent and
offered, by way of amusing his majesty,
to devour large hog i'll his presence.
Old General Konigsmarck, who was in
attendance, at once suggested that the
man with the Gargantuan appetite
should be burned as witch, whereupon
the boor, whose feelings were hurt by
this observation, exclaimed, eff your
majesty will but make that old gentle
man take off his sword and spurs, will
eat him before l begin the pig" This
was accompanied by such ''hideous
expansion Of the jaws and mouth" that
the general, though he had given his
proofs" on many field, turned pale
and fled incontinently to his tent San

Having met with the highest sue
cess in The manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as a medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale OF
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose Of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manulact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant TO the taste, and healthfuI
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneficially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful 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 general
satisfaction.

THE IDEAL.

We are unsatis1ed and know not why.
We seek for the ideal of our dreams
And strive to reach it guided by the beams
OF truth and faith. Setting our standard high,
We struggle on, but when the prize is nigh
We find that 1t eludes us, and it seems
To beclzon onward, hooking with its CLEANS
Like some bright mirage in the eastern sky.
With eyes blind to the glory here below;
Our thoughts forever turned away from
earth,
We see no beauty around us and the worth
Hidden in humble things we never know.
We grope and pass unheeding on the way
The good that we are seeking day by day.

There is one medicine which every
family should be provided with. We
refer to Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
When it is kept at hand the severe
pain of burn or scald may be
promptly relieved and the sore healed
in much less time than when mrii.
cine has to be sent for. A sprain may
be promptly treated before intlamu-
ton sets in, which insures a cure ia
about one-third the time otherwise
required. Cuts and bruises should re-
ceive immediate attention, before the
parts become swollen, and when
Chamberlain Pain Balm is applied il
will heal them without matter beng
formed, and without leaving a scar.
A sore throat may be cured in one
with this liniment and bound on over
the seat of pain, will cure lame back
or pain in the side or chest in twenty
four hours. 1t is the most valuable,
however, for rheumatism. Persons af-
flicted with this disease will be de-
lighted with the prompt relief from
pain which it affords, and it can be
depended upon to effect a complete
cure. For sale by all druggists a'd

CURIOUS PETS.
The FavOrites of Lady Burton, The
Poet ROssetti, and Others.

London Standard
Nothing in human nature is perhaps
more peculiar than the practice of
adopting some Representative of the
animal world as an intimate. It may
be conjectured that the first pets were
these animals which had already proved
themselves useful in the service of man,
such as horses and dogs. BY and by,
as other animals became domeSticated,
they were admitted to a degree of init
me cy which, while not, perhaps, exact
ly- that of the modern pet, was a step
in that direction. The ancients as we'll
as ourselves are known to have lavish
ed no small amount of affection upon
their favorites. Did not Alexander
grieve for the loss of Bucephalus, and
endeavor to console himself with Peri
tas, the lion-fighting dog, which cost
him something over $500 in India? And
had not both horse and dog cities nam
ed after them? Did not the dog of
XanthippuS swim beside his master
galley to Salamis? The mares of
Cinlon. with which he was thrice vic
torious at the Olympic games, were
buried beside his own tomb. We all
remember how "the young mans dog
accompanied the son Of Tobit and the
Angel Raphael on their remarkable
journey.
But the ancients had singular pets
so far that, by pronouncing certain
words, he could instantly check it in
its flight and make it return to the
ground. Alcibiades had a dog of I'M
common size and beauty, which cost a
large sum of money, and yet he had
the animals handsome. tail cut off, in
order, as he said, to give the Athenians
something to talk about. Besides the
dog. Alcibiades was fond of his fight
ing quails, and rewarded the restorer
of a lost bird by giving him command
Of the fleet. Sertorius, when in Lusi-
tania, received a present of a milk
white hind, which became so attached
to him as to come when called and fol-
low him about, and learned to bear
the noise and hustle of the camp and
the battlefield. Cardinal Wolsey, it
will be recollected, was familiar with a
venerable carp lCowper's only relief
from melancholy was to play with his
pet hares. Give owned a pet tortoise.
Did not Mr.. Parnell On one occasion III
terruot an important conference of
the Irish parliamentary party while
he saw to the feeding of a faVorite re-
triever?
Lesser-known people have made pets
of snakes, toads, hedgehogs, and other
animals not usually considered as
domestic. 1t is largely a question of
environment. The dweller in cities Is
usually compelled by the exigencies Of
space to restrict himself to cats and
dogs, and even the humble occupant of
a single room will be found the pos

Quire, are first favOriteS as city pets.

South African diamond Mines.

Chautauquan.
The first diamonds discovered in Africa
were found by trader who some chill
dren playing with what they supposed were
pebbles, one of which, at least, proved to be
a diamond worth $1,000. Even at that early
day the news of the discovery not long
in spreading to the different countries, and
not many years passed before so many claims
were taken up that it was Impossible to keep
them separate, and the result was one vast
mining district some 5000 square miles in
area, controlled and worked by various cor
porations and syndicates. Besides these there
is large number of individual diggers
The mining in the African fields is done by
thousands of wild-eyed, black skinned ma
tives. These Kaffirs are large, powerful men,
clearly in their habits, and during the time
for which their labor is contracted, usually
a month, they are deprived of all freedom.
Communication with any one outside the linn
its of the mine is forbidden. They are COM
PEELED to live within the walled Enclosure or
compound owned by the company. While in
their employ the Kafirs clothed and fed
by the company, and if sick or injured they
are cared for by and at the expense of the
corporation.
Every possible p-ecaution is taken to pre-
vent the native workmen from stealing the
gems. A wire netting covers the top. Of the
compound, making it impossible to throw a
stone over the walls, to be picked up by a
confederate or an Illicit diamond buyer.
Every night at o'clock, as the miners leave
their work, each is searched within great rig
idity by the company's agent. So expert
have the natives become in their robberies
that every portion of the body is carefully
examined with a sounding hammer and
by the light of candle the sole of each
foot is examined for the tell-tale refraction OF
the light which reveals a diamond pushed
under the thick skin Of the foot through an
incision so deftly covered that it is easily
overlooked. But the searcher has become as
great an adept in his work as the robber In
his robberies, until it Is almost impossible
for the thief to successfully secrete a stone,
and the prospect of severe punishment or OF
several years Imprisonment In a South AT
rican dungeon has no doubt had its infiu-
ence in reducing the robberies to a mini
mum.

slightly; pork advancing Toe. lard and ribs

active broad market The feeling developed
in wheat was somewhat easier early on gen

this selling pressure ceased, the market
again turned UP, selling to 791ac for Decem-
Der and S41sc for May, with final figures
showing little change. The action OF the

Northwestern movement was smaller than

The market was rushed up on the report
