An amusing incident occurred during
the last cruise Of the English ship Roy
alist in the neighborhood of the New
Hebrides. The time arrived for the
holding of the annual prize shooting.
but no suitable place could be found
for the erection of target except n
small island in Southwest Bay. This,
however, was tribal property, and as
the natives had been taught to fear the
power of big guns, they bargained that
they should be paid for the island, as it
was sure to be blown to pieces. Elab-
crate negotiations ended in a chief go
ing off to the ship, when the requisite
agreements were entered into, and
Capt. Rason, of the Royalist. became
the owner Of the island, the considera-
ton being FIVE sticks of tobacco. A tar
get was then erected and some excel.
Lent shooting took place

zeal ills which vanish before proper eff
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-
lion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ty removes. That is why IL 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
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore

6cial effects, TO note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California

and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.

John O'Brien was held for trial in q
New York police court recently charged
with stealing doormat from the resi-

the top of the mat, which lay on the

ostensibly to ask for aims, and after
gazing at the mat he took it away with
him without ringing the bell.

vided into seven portions. These are
the pontifical residence, the Sistine
and Pauline chapels, the picture-gal-
leries. the library. the museums of
sculpture and archaeology, the out
buildings, including the barracks of
the Swiss guards, and, lastly, the gar
dens with the pope's casino. Of these
