Gladness Comes

NTH better understanding Of the
w transient nature OF the many phys
ical 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-
ton OF the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
IL 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 facilitating 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-
Gle, 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 10 themost Skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
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.

Two volumes of selections from Wordsworth APP
pear at this time. one In gay attire. the other
printed soberiy for students. This second volume Is
complied and edited by Mr.. Edward Dowden In the
"Athenaurn Press Series" published by CHM &
Co.. OF Boston. II opens with long Introduction.
in which Mr. Dowden states the characteristics OF
the poet with great care and thoroughness, but
without originality charm. Perhaps 1t might be
claimed that he shows some originality In calling
attention 10 the fact that. while Wordsworths eye
and eor were susceptible OF the finest Impressions.
his sense Of smell not acute. But even ref
erence TO Keats and Herrck as poets In whom the
sense OF smell counts for someth!ng-and Mr..
Dowden might further have adduced TeHnyson-
does not make the point one OF much consequence.
A more profitable passage is this one:
To suppose that Wordsworth's was a mild. gentle.
TRANQUIL nature. moved by no deep and strong pas
alons Is a vulgar error. He felt ardently and pro-
foundiy. But mere passion did not dominate MN
and carry him away. His emotions were illumi-
mated by thought. and were brought Into harmony

Autograph Fienefs

The author of "Chats With Celebri-
ties, MIR. Guild, says Of the demand
upon Longfeliow for his autograph:
i remember one very pleasant party
at the poets dinner table, at which Mr..
Monti, Professor Z. n. Horsford and
myself were present, when Mr.. Long
fellow related a number Of amusing
anecdotes respecting applications that
were made to him for autographs. He
was very kind TO autograph seekers and
used to keep in little box upon his
writing table a number of slips upon
which were written, Yours very truly,
Henry W. Longfellow. One of these
would be sent TO the applicant by
member Of his family to whom he passed
over their requests
But the autograph seekers were not
always satisfied with a mere signature,
and he often sent a verse from one of
his poems signed with his name. The
most remarkable request, however, came
from a lady in Boston, who. the poet
said, sent him by express a package of
$50 blank visiting cards, with a letter
requesting that he would inscribe his
name on each of them the next day, as
she was 20 have grand reception at
which number of literary people
would be present, and she wished to
present each one of her guests with the
poets autograph.
This was too much for even Longfel.
lows good nature and would seem TO be
hardly credible had not heard it from
the poets own lips
