ease. but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system. which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrnpof Figs. prompt
~ removes That IS why il is the only
remedy with millions Of families. and IS
everywhere esteemed 50 highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that il Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
ORGANS on shich il acts. It's therefore
aI Important in order TO get It's bone

chase. thatyou have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California

Ii in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then Taxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
Ii afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended TO the most slIillful

then one should have the best, and with

A Good penltentIary.

Kansas gets the credit with some peo-
pie Of being a cranky state. yet if the
people Of the far east who think this OF
ii had i'm their own states a. good a sys-
tenn Of penal servitude as that in the
erassbopper realm, they might well be
proud Of their civilization and erlsht-
enment.
To begin. the Kansas penitentiary
presents one feature unique among
the state prisons of the Union. The
number Of convicts in it is diminish
Ing instead Of increasing, although the
uopnlation Of the state IS steadily and
bealthily growing. A writer in the
ST. Louis Globe Democrat mentions
that i'm 1855 there were 1901 con-
victs. At present there are only Se5.
The enemies Of Kansas might say that
the rest Of them had gone into Kansas
politics, but that would be manifestly
mean.
one OF the features attached to the
Kansas penitentiary is that the state
owns mine and operates it through the
convicts. 1t is go feet deep, and tho
first move is always TO put new convicts
into it. They dread this ordeal as one
might dread being passed into the in
fernal regions, but after a time they get
used 10 il and prefer the life in the
mine. They can talk 20 one another
down there. The coal is used in all the
state institutions A good share of it is
also distributed among very poor people
every winter What is left Is sold 70
"A contractor. The penitentiary Is not
only self supporting, but last year il
actually paid into the state treasury
from the sale Of coal and from other
sources $l2, 600. What other state pris-
on did as we'll.
The convicts are admirably treated in
this penitentiary. which is at Lansing,

prisoners is given once week that great

different states in the Union made q
speech to his fellow prisoners on Thanks.
giving and told them they were the best
treated convicts ON earth, whereat they
broke into cheers.
Not the least interesting feature OF
this model state prison is the school.
The teachers themselves are chosen from
the educated conyicts, and it will per.
haps make Massachusetts blush To learn
that one Of the head teachers is Har'
ward graduate over a third Of the con.
victs 80 TO school. They have library
aud two hours day for reading The
system of shortening sentences on ac-
count of good behavior prevails.

The original and proper name for the
Transvaal is the South African Repub-
lie. But when the Beers settled there
they went beyond the Vaal river. and SO
they were said to be in the Transvaal,
or across the Vaal Gradually their
country came to be known more widely
as the Transvaal than as the South Al
rican Republic, and Transvaal it viii

Not even in the flush days of Califor-
MIA were mining operations so active IN
this country as they are now. Indeed
all over the world mining properties
are having the greatest boom known in
history. II is significant of the times
that the buying and selling of mines are
conducted through syndicate operations.
A great company of capitalists is form
ed. Some are large capitalists-most Of
them, in fact-but others are men of
little means But, small or great, they
organize company, divide its stock
into shares, get the shares subscribed
for, then negotiate with mine owners
for the sale Of their property. When the
mine is bought, Immediately stamp
mills and very expensive plants of ma
chinery are erected. and the work of ex-
tracing the ore begins. A great amount
of money is required. 1t is fact that
the small single operator has little OPP
portunity now. Unless he has capital
enough TO join a syndicate, he must be
content to work for wages as the serv-
ant of a syndicate. In Europe and
America the popular tide has set toward
mining share. Tor investment as well as
speculation. The English are especially
active. In every city of the American
Union are corporations or members OF
corporations for operating mines. A
syndicate of st. Louis capitalists has
recently reopened for active operation a
number Of CALIFORNIA; old mines in halt
dozen Of the mountain counties.

the dyspepsia by unwise feeding. Then you'll
suffer martvrdo with vengeance! Some
people are martyrs TO this complaint from
childhood to the grave, suffering from all It's
attendant horrors of heartburn, wind and
pain in the stomach, weary slumber and
nightmare, capricious appetite. nausea, bill
business leanness and sallowness. No neces-
sity for all this. The complaint, obstinat e as
II is, when the ordinary remedies are brought
TO bear upon il. invariably yield to the great
stomachic, Hoste'ter's Stomach Bitters,
which restores tranquility TO the gastric re-
gion and nerves, regulates the liver and
bowels, both of which are disturbed by weak
ness of the stomach, and promotes appetite
and an increase OF flesh. That "tOCsin of the
SOUL" the dinner bell when il peals upon the
ear, suggests no premonition of dire qualms
after comfortable meal If you have tried n
