The African strikes happy medium

he has plenty Of dry wood, he can keep
himself comfortable outdoors with the
thermometer down to the freezing
point. He builds big fire, which he
keeps going all night, the attention ap-
parently costing no sacrifice Of his
rest; during the night he shifts his po-
sition to adapt himself to the fire.

the knowledge that SO many forms of

tion 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

If in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful

O0f0n0H00e t1Dnf0R BOATS
The birds sit on the sides of the boat.
on sticks projecting over the water.
They perch In pairs. They are dirty
birds with ragged wings, plucked to
keep them from flying. In color they
are q metallic black, with mottled or
creamy and even whita bosoms. They
have long, narrow, curved bills Of the
desh-tearing character. Their perclles
are wrapped with straw. to give the
birds q good foothold. When fishing
IL done their master tightens the moose
that each wears around its neck, and,
putting q stick before each one, lifts
1t down to the water. When they have
caught fish enough, or more likely,
have become 90 soaked that they must
be taken on board to dry, he rows
among them and lifts them back on
their perches. Their skill lies In their
greed. and their greed has doomed
them to servile labor. They are caught
on the sea coast when young, and are
trained by their purchasers until they
are worth ten dollars. Mexican, apiece.
When they are In the water they not
only dive for fish, but are said to swim
swiftly under the water after their
prey. When . fish IL caught, the bird
rises 70 the surface and gasps and
chokes to get the hsh down. The other
birds rush at him to wrest his prey
from him. The fisherman hurries to
the spot. beats the other greedy birds
away. and lifting the successful COR
into the boat, takes his tisl,
from him, loosens his throttling string
and pokes some food into his ravenous
beak as a reward of merit. When the
birds are returned to their perches he
prepares for them a fairly good din
ner of rice and small fish, scolding or
beating those that are quarrelsome.
