Every daughter of Eve has q laundering

gies for the subject of the following obser-
vations. We are, too, very credulous, as
most men will admit, and it is generally
easier for us TO believe in a ghost than TO
investigate it. On these hankerings and
this credulity hundreds of persons, more or
less clever, trade Some of them believe
in their own powers and are deeply hurt If
any one hints that they possess only mag
nations. L have had personal experience
with few of these farseeing women, and
they impressed me with their absolute sin

or whatever she calls herself; she tells the
character from the hand, often with star
Ting exactitude; she informs you of various
incidents of your past life, of which you
are already very well aware, yet which she
can't possibly know, in way to raise the
hair, and she predicts, with Indifferent sue
cess, the future.
She is the only person ever heard Of
who can read names in peoples hands.
Beware, o womanl If there be one person
who has influenced your life more than all
Others the name (shall say his name?) is
written in your hand 1t is positive fact
that Mrs. can read it there, unless,
indeed, one accounts for the mystery on

everything to telepathy. The palmist told

The Company known through
out the world as the
CAl|FORnIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import.
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions Of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling a laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant TO the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benefcially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then 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.

Godfrey Hudson, the famous dwarf Of
Charles |, was introduced ut court during
the festivities attending the coronation. BY
nm odd conccit he was concealed i'm n cold
pic, the crust of which, being removed, dis
closed the dwarf fully dressed and making
his bow to the king and queen. At the age
of 30 he was 10 inches high, but before at.
tanning the age of 80 he grew several inches
additional. Godfrey, like most dwarfs,
was of limited intelligence, but of intense
vanity and large self conceit. 1t is asserted
by many scientific authorities that this is
a characteristic of dwarfs.

thought, will die. The man was revlv-

talk. He informed the police that his
wife had shot him while he was asleep,
and that she afterwards attempted to
kill herself Mclaughlin, who is In
the advanced stage OF consumption, has
been ordered to the hospital to-day. The
police believe that his wife, driven to
desperation, decided to end both of
their lives. They had lived In abjeei
destltution and there was only single
piece OF bread in their rooms. Two
months ago a child was born to the
couple and died at the age OF two
weeks, and the event seemed to weigh
heavily on the woman's mind. They
