that you get no joy out of life that is worth

SAN BERNARDINO, March 81
Irregular Correspondence.) The epi-
demic of scarlet fever that was greatly
feared, 1t is to be hoped has passed, and
it is no doubt due to the vigilance Of the
authorities. One death and two malis-
nant cases within a few days called for
stringent measures. and they have been
taken. On Monday Health officer
Pratt issued his order closing the Stur-
gis school, on Fourth street, and also
the Fourth-street school in the same To-
cality, from each of which case en-
anated, and today, on reports from ply
sicians, people are breathing easier, for
a careful inquiry fails to reveal any,
thing new in the line of fever. The old
barnyard back of the schools, where
physicians say the disease arose, has
been cleaned out, the schools thoroughly
fumigated, the cases put under strict
quarantine. and no doubt the backbone
Of the dread disease is broken.

With q better understanding of the

forts-gentle efforts-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
ly 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 due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you 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

a New Chicago Club.

Roman Catholic women, like jewish
women. are not much given TO clubs.
Hitherto, ut least, they have cultivated
the domestic virtues rather than litera-
ture and oratory, but of late years they
are slowly widening their range and
coming to believe that woman may
be none the worse wife and mother for
having some intellectual interests. One
largo Roman Catholic woman's club
has started in this city, spread out its
branches elsewhere and acquired men,
bership of several hundred. Now u sec
ond society is under way. 1t is to he
called Sorosis. and, like its namesake
of New York or the Fortnightly here,
is to be purely for study and literary
work. Times Herald.

married Names.

lately heard convenient if not
startlingly new suggestion concerning
married names-namely, that woman
should invariably retain her maiden
name. hyphened on to that of her hus-
band. Some of the more advanced wo-
mans rights champions think she ought
to keep her own name only, an absurd
idea which few brides would approve
or husbands agree to, and which would
be quite Incompatible with tho idea of
family anity, but no such objection APP
plies to the suggested double name.
When we speak of Amy Eaton or Amy
Lowndes to friends who perhaps do not
know that she is married or have for
gotten to whom, confusion ensues,
which would be avoided if we might
say Amy grave-Lowndes" or Bel
grave-Eaton. In many ways tho reten-
ton of the maiden name would be an
immense help to that quick identifica-
ton which is so useful i'll social life. =
