With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle etforts-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
lv removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are duc to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important. in order to get its bene-
fetal effects. to note when you pur-
,.r. e. 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 en- joyment 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 laxative,
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.

CultiValing PineapDles.

work to make them beloved throughout

commonly, they are going to popularize

They are experimenting now with pines

nueer Scenes In a Den on the Bowery,
- New York. "a,
The Bowery, in spite of it's reforma-
ton, still holds some queer haunts. One
ct the nany~is n saloon near Chatham
Square patronized by that portion of
the community known as stake hobos.
1t is in reality an exchange for "made-
Acripples. The blind, the deaf and
the halt can Re seen entering this re-
sort, but if one follows them a lightning
change in their physical condition can
be witnessed, Once within, the blind
see, the deaf hear, the lame walk, the
paralytic becomes nimble. OF course,
the saloon is not very pleasant place to
'patronize. 1t is, If anything, dirtier
than, it's neighbors, which is saying II
good deal. But for all that it is one of
the extraordinary sights of this great
city. The bad odor comes partly from
glass; partly from the free LUNCH the
resisting piece of which consists of cab
bage Of the pungent species, and partly
from the patrons themselves. There is
il sign on the sidewalk in front an
nouncing that this particular place dis
penses, at charge of S cents per glass,
the best whisky of that sort obtainable
in New York. The frcquenters of this
beggars' exchange are very interesting
to study, II you care to approach near
enough for that purpose. A visit will
convince YOU that it is not very diff
ticult matter to become cripple with
out injuring yourself, providing you 60
about it in the right way. For the pur-
pose of obtaining substantial charity it
is only necessary to make yourself ap-
pear miserable and helpless. The modus
operandi can be had for the looking on
at this Bowery ''boozing den.' The
pockets of the painstaking rogues who
frequent this place are as Il rule we'll
filed, especially those of the blind beg
CARS who may be seen playing checkers
and cards there. At another table per-
haps you will see a group of deaf men
lated by a member of the company.
Among the frequent visitors to this re-
sort are number of lame men who
lightly toss aside their sticks and crutch-
es on entering and resume a sound condi-
ton of body. One might imagine from
the ease and suddenness with which
this transformation is made that a mir
acle had been worked. Broken arms
are also mended in an astonishingly
simple manner by the very easy pro-
cess of removing the bandages. Great
application of a sponge. Sprained
ankles, rhenmat ism, dislocated shout
ders and other Affections are remedied
in an equally simple and effective man
ner. The busiest hour at this remark
able resort is after II o'clock at night.
when most of the flake cripples' knock
off work. If you would learn thing or
two about the fruits of indiscriminate
charity take a peep at this queer rendez-

A Carolina Divine Who Talked with a
Son of the "bravest of The Brave"
The Rev. James a. Weston has re-
turned to Hickory from Kentucky, near

meet and talk with the son of Marshal

He came to North Carolina in 1887, and
sent him to PHILADELPHIA. and there en-.

graduated and practiced medicine. He,
however, went under an assumed name
which was a long one. He has written
history which he has consigned to the
Rev, Major Weston, who will not d.
the death of the old gentleman. : ).
This makes the connecting link certain
and sure that Peter Stuart Ney was real
ly Marshal Ney. The old gentleman
says his father called for few minutes
at his mothers house in Paris the night
after the morning he was supposed to
have been shot. The old gentleman him
self seems to be involved in some sort of
International complication between the
United States and Mexico, and hence he
will not even now allow his identity to
be known. He was in the Mexican war.
He had Maj. Weston's book ON His
toric Doubts as to the Execution of Mar
shall Ncy' in his library, and had read
it. He received the Rev. Maj. Weston
very cordially when he learned who he
was, and then subsequently talked with
him freely, but not over freely. He held
back much. and told him he would learn
it all from his manuscript after he died.
The Rev. Maj. Weston says he is the
perfect image of the published photo
graphs of Marshal Ney, and he never
had such piercing glance from mans
eye in MI his life as he had from this
man when he presented himself and his
credentials. Mai. Weston has just re-

Restless Maitlen

\ restless little maiden of 5 or 6 came
into an elevated car the other morning,
accompanied by her mother, and sat
down in one of the cross seats directly
opposite to another small girl and her
mother. The first child fdgeted about
for several moments, much to the dis
comfort of her companion, who finally
said:
Now, Bessie, do try and sit still. Sec
how nicely that little girl opposite be-.
hayes. Why don't you do as she does ~
This suggestion seemed to find favor
with Bessie, who from that moment be-
gan to initiate every movement of the
other child, much to the latter's embar-
rassmcnt and greatly to the amusement
of the two mothers. Presently the good
little girl, who was. kneeling upon the
seat, lost her balance and fell off. As
she tearfully picked herself up the other
child remarked to her mother:
Il guess she had better do like me for
while now.'-New York Journal.

Not Always Happy.

Happy as a king is phrase often
carelessly used: Yet can it be safely as
s"mcd that kings or queens are any
Frederic. in his cable letter to the New
York Times, pointed out with no little
feeling the pathetic picturesqueness
which enveloped the meeting the other
day Of Queen Victoria and Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria. The one has
been on her throne for fifty-nine years
and the other on his for forty-eight, and
yet with their capital near together, as
distance is measured now, they had never
met. There is undoubtedly" says
Frederic, ''much that is impressive in the
spectacle of these two saddened old SOW
creiens at last coming together" and he
declares that all Europe is wondering
what they said, wondering so hard that
the picturesquenesS Of the meeting is al
most forgotten. Dwelling on the cir
rumstance, the Rochester Post Express
remarks: "But is it not more like
ly that they said very little which
would be interesting; that behind
the conveDtionalities and gallantries.
which written romance describes to US
plain republicans as the converse of kings
concealed by hereditary diplomacy, the
things they may have really felt? Prob
ably there was only sadness of heart,
intangible and unanalyzed WEAKNESS
OF affairs OF state, a mutual conscious
ness of the hollowness of pomp and show
ana sovereign title; Of the extraneousness
of all that to what really makes life good
or pleasant, a longing TO lay down their
royal cares and escape the chickering's of
diplomacy and the menace of discomfort
But it is not likely that any of these mat
tiers was q subject of conversation be-
tween, their majesties. Royal aeyes may
