TTE EXCELLFNCE OF SYRuP on EIGS

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity Of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to Impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par.
ties. The high standing of the CALI.
FoRNIA FIe SYRUP Co. with the mcdi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name Of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives.
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

Shares Tobacco With His steed

Emmett ketcham of Mount Hope was
in Middletown, N. Y, the other day.
and as he united his horse he took a
chew of tobacco himself and gave q
much larger one to his horse, which ate
it with great avidity and then made it
plain that it wanted more. Addressing
the horse, but really talking to several
persons who had stopped to see the
unusual sight of a horse eating to-
bacco, Mr. Ketcham said: mo, you
can't have any more; you've had your
share. With meat at present prices
and the war scare on, I can't afford to
give you more than one chew at q
slime" The horse seemed to under
stand, but evidently it's craving for
tobacco was not appea sed, for it kept
it's head turned eXpectantly in Mr.
Ketcham's direction until after he had
got into his wagon
Mr.. ketcham says that the horse has
eaten tobacco for several years 1t was
first given a chew as a joke, for it
reached out for it as he was cutting
off piece of plug. The horse ate
with evident relish the piece that WAS
given it, and ever since it has begged
for tobacco whenever it sees it. 1t pre-
fers fine cut to any other kind, and if
given a bite of it before starting on Il
drive seems to so more willingly II
has never been determined how much
tobacco the horse can consume without
affecting it injuriously. but on one oc-
caSon, at Otisville, some men and boys
who knew of the horses fondness for
tobacco fed it over half pound and the
horse never showed a sign of nicotine
poisoning-New York World.

Vegetables a Fighting Diet.

I regret to say that vegetarianism is
a fighting diet. Ninety-nine per cent.
of the worlds fighting has been done
on farinaceous food. In Trafalgar
Square | found it impossible to run
away as fast as the meat eaters did.
Panic is a carnivorous speciality. If
the army were fed on hardy, healthy,
fieshless diet we should hear no more
Of the disgust Of our colored troops
and of the Afridis and Fuzzywuzzies at
the cowardice of Tommy Atkins. I am
myself congenitally timid, but as a veg
etarian l can generally conceal my ire
morS; whereas in my unregenerate
days, when I ate my fellow creatures,
was as patent coward as Peter the
Great The recent spread of fire-eat-
ing fiction and lingo war worship-a
sort of thing that only interests the
pusillanimous-iS due to the spread of
meat eating. Compare the Tipperary

An Obdurate Texas Colonel.

The Texas volunteers have made a
great hit with the regulars. Old cam
paigners say they are the finest lot of
volunteers they have ever seen, being
ready for business all the way through,
making no complaint, helping them
selves, and giving proof that they do
not regard the campaign as a holiday
affair. They show immense anxiety to
learn soldering and are assiduous in
drill. Consequently the regulars, in
stead of guying these first newcomers,
are in love with them, and doing every
thing possible to make the road easier
for them.
