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, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's 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. tits therefore

FOOD IN THE ARCTIC.
Birds Have No Dimculty Finding It In the
Snow.

Birds Have No Difficulty Finding IL In the
Snow.
The number of birds that go to the
arctic regions to breed is "vast beyond
conception. They 90 not by thousands,
but by millions, to rear their young ON
the tundra The cause which attracts
them is because nowhere in the world
does nature provide at tho same time
and in the same place "such q lavish
prodigality Of food. That the barren
swamp of the tundra should yield food
supply so great as TO tempt birds TO
make Journeys of thousands of miles TO
rear their young in a land of plenty,
only to be found beyond the arctic cir
Gle, seems incredible The vegetation
consists of cranberry, clondherry and
crowberry bushes. Forced by the per-
petual sunshine Of the arctic summer
these bear enormous crops of fruit. But
the crop is not ripe until the middle and
end. of the arctic summer. and II the
fruit eating bi~,is had TO wait until It
was ripe they would stIvc, for they
arrive on the very uay of the melting Of
the snow But each year the snow dc
scends on its immense crop Of ripe fruit
before the birds have time to gather il.
1t is then preserved beneath the snow,
perfectly fresh and pure, and the melt
ing of the snow discloses the bushes
with the unconsumed last years crop
hanging on them or lying, ready 90 be
eaten, ON the ground. Tho frozen meal

never decays and is accessible the mo-
ment the snow melts. Ages have taught
the birds that they have only TO fly to
the arctic circle 20 find such a store of
"crystallized foods as viii last them
till the bushes are once more forced into
bearing by the perpetual sunlight. The
Same heat which frees the frnit brings
into being the most prolific insect life
in the world. The mosquito swarms on
the tundra No European can live there
without veil nfter the snow melts. The

a Pointed Ouest.on.


The great question whether the use
OF forks is understood IN Chicago hav-
i1g bcca happily settled ia Paris, it
may be asked in seriousness whether
forks are not too much used in Chicago
and everywhere else. Not that anybody
wants to use the knife for conveying
food 90 the mouth, but might not the
teaspoon as a part Of the dinner equip
ment be a little more prominent?
People of breeding train their chill
dren to eat peas, for instance. with a
fork, tabooing the spoon for no apparent
reason other than that its use would
simplify and facilitate the operation.
On the same principle they ought to eat
their peas with chopsticks, as a China
man could easily do. So with certain
kinds Of pie and pastry. The relish is
marred by the loss Of juices too thin for
the fork to carry. Yet the man who
values his social reputation must not
ask for a spoon.
The proper use Of tine silver fork
might be better understood if it were
regarded as a modified shovel with Inn
itations imposed by its Sits. For solids
it is an excellent shovel. For liquids it
is naturally failure. The copntrymln
who on his first visit 20 a city hotel
asked the water for a spoon with no
Sits in it was 40 legitimate subject Of
ridicule. He was an impartial critic,
being without the prejudice Of habit or
tradition. Hotel Mail.

HAS THE UMBRELLA FAD.
Chicago Man Who Carries It TO Greater
Extremes Than Most People.

Chicago Man Who Carries It 20 Greater
Extremes Than Most People.
There is man on the North Sido
who has the umbrella fad, 1t would
hardly be fair TO tell his name, as it
was learned in confidence, and the Fad
might not be regarded as q mere eccen-
tricity by some people who have suffer
ed frum it and they might be tempted
TO complain to the police Again, every
body who has lost an umbrella--and
chat means a majority Of the people Of
Chicago-would look up his address in
the directory and sweep down upon him
with the hope that his lost property
might he in his collection
There are other incn who have a
weakness for taking umbrellas, but no
man is known TO have carried it 60 so
great an extreme as this one He has a
collection numbering 400 umbrellas OF
all kinds. A good many of them were
bought Some of them were borrowed
from friends, with and without their
permission, and others were acquired in
other ways which it would be hardly
polite 70 mention. The man is a good
citizen IN other respects but he is vic
tim of the umbrella habit, and when ho
sees an umbrella he is compelled To
. struggle very hard to resist the tempta-
ton TO make himself its owner Usual
ly he yields TO the temptation, and the
coveted prize is transferred 10 his col
lection.
The umbrella collector does not make
any great display Of his collection. The
umbrellas are piled upin big closet il
his bedroom. and he very seldom visib
it. Now and then ho looks over then
and counts them with satisfaction. Tn,
last time he counted them there wer
39S in the closet He has added y few
to his collection since that time.
In every other way except this pas
sion for umbrellas which amounts TO 8
mania, the man is perfectly sane. Hi
friends regard him as q very clever
man, and he holds o responsible posi-
tion in big wholesale house dow
town. But umbrellas are his weakness
/ He is n victim Of the umbrella habi
/ Just as another man might be a victim
of the opium habit or morphine habit
and his relatives arc in constant fca
that the habit may Some day get hin
into trouble. Chicago Times Herald.

CHARITY FAIRS.
An Argument TO show why They Should
Ise Suppressed.

he Suppressed.
Charity has been defined as this state
of things: That So soon as A is in trou-
bic B begins to consider what @ ought
to do for him. All charitable fairs, for
instance, are based on this principle.
You go and buy something which you
probably do not want in order that the
profit made on it may go to some good
cause. In case you had really wanted
what you bought you would have per-
haps bought it somewhere else, and the
regular trade thus suffers from the loss
Of your custom In case Of very large
fairs like the sanitary fairs" in war
time, the ordinary local trade unques-
tionably suffers, perhaps for whole
year. and the community is thus impov-
erishcd TO a degree in one way so that
Il may be helped in other ways
For a great national object this can
easily be endured, although, to be sure,
we never have known just what tho
regular dealers Thought about it. But
when we consider that the same thing
is done to some extent IL behalf Of every
local or sectuian enterprise, it is evi-
dent that the principle OF the affair Is
not quite satisfactory.
Suppose, for instance, that we were
all to agree for a single year 20 have all
our shoes and hats made by amateurs
''for sweet charity's sake, and to have
single church or hospital take the
value of them all. Then sweet charity
would make an apparent gain no doubt,
but all the ordinary hatmakers and shoe
makers would starye. Or, if they did
not starve, they would be supported by
their kindred, who perhaps are not far
above the starvation point themselves,
or they would be supported by sweet
charity, and the last condition of things
would be worse than the first 1t is not
really the fact that the evils of society
can be greatly helped by dressing up
Young girls prettily and having them
take money and giSe rather inaccurate
change at a bazaar table. One day, per-
haps when the laws Of trade are better
understood, we shall look &C charity
fairs as we already look at lotteries,
which were once regarded as one of the
highest forms cf sweet charity, but
which are now prohibited by law
