w transient nature Of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-geatle 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
" 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's the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitafing the
organs on which it acts It Is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that You have the genuine arti-
c-e, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians. but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the

SHE KNEW HER NAME.

But 1t wasn't Her Papa Calling. Only the
Brakeman Of the Railroad Car.
She occupied the seat directly In front

night. She was a plump girl. with au-
burn hair and hazel eyes. She was evil

nothing about her that served to tell me
that her name is Elizabeth. Yet her
name is Elizabeth.
/ am not the seventh son Of q seventh
son, neither de / possess the power of

name of the plump, rosy checked young
miss in the seat in front of me is Eliza
beth. Before we had gone many miles
out of Jersey City the "sand man" be-
gan to play havoc with Elizabeth. Her
eyes became heavy, and every few Sec
onds her head would drop. Before we
had crossed Newark bay Elizabeth was
sound asleep. The train sped ON, and
when the speed was slackened the brake
man opened the door and shouted:
elizabeth! Elizabeth 'Liz'bethr'
With the first word the girl began to
move. When the brakeman shouted
sc Elizabeth the eyes were half OPEN
cd, and when he finally called "'Liz'-
bethl' she rubbed her eyes and said,
Eyes, papa, I'll get up" Through the
oars ran the sound Of suppressed laugh
ter. But the girl had fallen asleep again,
and when the train stopped and the
brakeman again called out Elizabeth
Elizabeth the plump girl jumped up
and said, SAIL right; I'm coming"
This was too much for the harebrained
dude across the aisle, and he began to
"Ha, hap' while the giggling maidens
several seats in front began to giggle
more furiously. Even the sedate looking
old gentleman seated neal by could not
suppress a smile. By this time the girl
was wide awake, and that she was con-

by the fact that her naturally red cheeks
became redder still, and / even imagined

An Exciting Political Scheme IL Which
McCuIiagh Figured.
When David r. Francis was a candi-
date for governor Of Missouri, his
friends succeeded in using The Globe
Democrat to further his chances of cleo
ton. Editor McCullagh had turned on
"Our Dave" as Mr.. Francis is known
in st. Louis, with his short paragraphs
with telling effect, and Francis friends
got together and concocted a scheme to
offset the editorial work of the paper.
They wrote out adisplay advertisement.
and at a late hour of the Saturday
morning Immediately preceding tho
election of 1888 took it to the counting
room Of The Globe Democrat. The clerk
on duty gave the copy a casual looking
over and without a word accepted it.
It occupied a full page. and at length
and in glowing terms set forth the
great business capacity and eminent
qualifications of Mr.. Francis to occupy
the gubernatorial chair Of Missouri"
That advertisement caused the big
gest row ever witnessed in a newspaper
Office in st. Louis. When Editor Nc
Cullagh found what had been done, he
ragged and stormed for a week. The fast
mail had distributed the paper all over
Missouri before McCullagh had his at
tention called to it. He left his quarters
at the Southern hotel ON a trot. Reach
ing the corner of Fourth and Pine
streets, he found the streets and the
Office Of The Globe Democrat damned
with people, who were clamoring to
stop their subscriptions. McCullagh had
filled a column on the editorial page
with ''squibs" strongly opposing Fran
els and advocating the Republican nom
inee, but the big display of Francis
friends was the first thing seen on OPEN
ing the paper.
Mr.. McCullagh at once issued an ex-
ira, in which he deprecated the over
sight by which the advertisement had
found its way into the paper, but it
was some time before The Globe-D Dem
ocrat Office recovered its equilibrium

ANCIENT WATER HEATERS.

People Two Thousand Years Ago Had
Some Practical Conveniencss.e
In two Of the museums of old Roman
antiquities at Naples there are several
water heaters, which indicate that the
principle of the water tube, the crown
ing feature of modern boilers, was fully
understood snd appreciated seine |, 1000
years ago. Mr.. W.. T. Bonner of Gin
cinnati has been investigating these
heaters and found them to be as inter-
esting as they are beautiful. One Of
them consists Of an outer she'll -
inches In diameter and nearly IL inches
high, surmounted by a somewhat hemi-
specifically shaped top. Inside this shell
is al internal Cylinder, also having a
h~emispherical top. which is 10 inches
In diameter and 10 inches high. The
two shells are connected at the bottom
by a rim, like the mud ring Of a loco
motive irebox, and the space between
them was filed with water. The CRATE
was formed of seven tubes made from
sheet bronze, rolled and soldered or
brazed. These tubes open at both ends
into the bottom of the space between
the shells. thus forming a water tube
CRATE for the fuel to rest npon. s
Charcoal was probably used with this
heater and was placed on the grato
through an opening "a inches nigh and
4 inches wide, closed by q beautifully
decorated door. The gases from the fire
escaped into the outer air through three
small openings formed by tubes ross
ing from the inner to the outer shell
about Sc inches above the CRATE. Tho
whole apparatus was raised about Ia
inches ON q tripod so as to allow air to
reach the fuel. In another boiler Of
somewhat the same type the outer shell
has the form of an urn, while the inner
shell rises from a water tube CRATE to
an opening in the side. It is 10 inches
in diameter at the widest part, l7.6
inches high and supported on a tripod
about A inches high. Its general shape
is much like that Of the silver cream
pitchers known as the Paul Revere pat
terms, although, Of course, it is much
larger and has a top closed by a lid. II
has been suggested that these utensils
may have served at some time to heat
wine as we'll as water, which sugges-
ton appears reasonable, as many his
torians state that the ~Pompeiians made
great use of hot drinks. 1t may be- that
they were found in one of the termpodi
or cafes, of which there were several in

Never say Manhattan Island when
you mean the island of Manhattan. The
briefer term was properly applied in
such a way hat now it cannot be ap-
piled at all. The place that bore it is

merged by high tides. Later on it be-

Two Famous Log Cabins.

At the Tennessee Centennial Expo
sition are to be exhibited the old cabiI
birthplaces of two famous American
citizens. These cabins are genuine, as
certified by atIldavlts in the possession
OF the owner and exhibitor.
The Rev. w. G.. Bigham, Methodist
minister. while travelling a circuit
which embraced parts Of Todd and
Hardin Counties, Ky, bought the two
log cabins and the land on which they
Rood. One of the cabins was built by
Tom Linkhorn, and in it he lived with
his VIE. Nancy Hanks. In this cabin,
without a floor, Abe Lincoln was born
in the year 1909. Every log, except a
few that did not Withstand the ravages
CT time and the weather, is preserved.
The other cabin is one In which the
President Of the late Confederacy was
born. 1t came from near Fairview,
Todd county, Ky. Mr.. Davis was born
here in 1908, and when siXty-six years
Old was given banquet by old citl-
zens CT Fairview in the very same
cabin. In responding to a toast he re-
ferred to tho fact that he had stood In
the halls of Congress- and in other his.
toric places in America and other
countries, but none Of these had stirred
his emotions as much as when once
again standing in the old cabin in
which he was born.-Nashville Ban

Stealing Electricity.

1t has been stated that a bank
burglar can SO heat the walls of safe
with an electric current as TO be able
to get inside without waiting more
than a few minutes. Certain labora-
tory experiments lend some sanction
to such a notion, but electrical journals
pooh pooh it. 1t is much easier to
talk about stealing electricity from live
trolley and lighting wires than it is to
do lt-that is. with safety. The Elec-
trical Engineer, after pointing out
some other difficulties in the way OF
such operations, remarks that ''men
can take and have taken the current
from supply mains, even more than is
required for melting through safes,
though in numerous instances the
parties maintained perfect silence
about it ever after"
