The Time for Building

cold weather has made unusual
drains upon the vital forces. The
blood has become impoverished and
impure. and all the functions of the
body suffer in consequence. Hoods

fer and nerve tonic.

Gladness Comes

MIith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eiforts-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
" 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 il acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order 10 get its hene-
fetal effects, to note when yoC 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
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-inforlned everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

Language That the Queen Speaks.

The queen speaks English to Prince
Henry of Battenb berg and even to the
Grand Duke of Hosse and the Ouch
ess of Coburg Gotha, and the Prince
of Wales writes almost always in
English to his mother and to his
other relatives living in England.
German is only spoken in conversa-
ton with German and Austrian EN-
bassadors and during an audience to
German or Austrian subjects. With
all other diplomatists French is al
ways spoken. But in intercourse
with the Danish royal family Ger
man is nearly always the language
spoken. Westminster Gazette.

Studying Court Etiquette az the Tuile-.es.
The most immediate and visible
sign of the new order of thisos was
the changed life at the glsss:ileries.
The palace was thronged no longer
with powerful but maladroit persons
who did not know how to advance,
bow and recede, and who could not
wear Their. elegant clothes with dig
nifty, nor with others who, more re-
fined in their training, laughed in
their sleeves at the imperfect man.
ners of the former A thorough
court was organized with careful
supervision and rigid etiquette.
Soon every body could behave with
sufficient grace and dignity. Fesch
was the grand almoner; Duroc was
grand marshal of the palace; Talley-
rand, grand chamberlain; Berthier,
master of the hounds; Caulainoourt
master of the horse.
Already many of the returned en-
igrants had pocketed their pride and
their prejudices to accept Office I'M
der the consulate. These and others
equally pliable now thronged the
court to fill the minor places of i'm
perial dignity. The perfection of
ceremonial was assured by the ap-
pointment as the arbitrator of ETH
quette of Segur, once minister Of
Louis XVI in Russia. Everybody
who hoped to shine was expected to
study the rules and be present at
numerous rehearsals. Nine. Cam
pan, formerly lady in waiting to
Marie Antoinette, was summoned to
lend her assistance, and in order to
comply she abandoned her recently
organized finishing school for your :,
ladies. There were scores of the old
aristocracy, as well as of the new,
anxious to profit by her instruction.

The Safest of Risks.

After moving a large stock of
goods into building in the whole
sale district the owners learned that
they could get no insurance.
The building was on the "black-
list of the insurance companies
because one of the tenants had al
ready burned out four times under
suspicious circumstances and appar-
entity with peouniary profit to him
self.
1t was therefore impossible for
this tenant to get insurance from
any company, and the boycott went
so far as to include any building
that harbored him or his stock of
goods.
The business concern that had
moved into the blacklisted" build
ing was much disturbed. The head
of the firm went to an insurance
agent and said, 81 wish you could
arrange it in some way to insure our
stock
"I'm sorry" replied the agent,
"but the companies have no conf.
dence in that man on the floor
above"
"He can't get insurance, eh?"
"Not a cents worth. They're on
to him all along the line.
swell, do you think there's any
danger OF a fire in that building as
long as he's not insured?"
swell, should say not. I never
