THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF figs

is due not only To the orig nality 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 FIG 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 FIG SYRUP Co. with the mediI
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company 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 Oh

Ancient Gaiiantry.

The respect and veneration paid
to the fair sex formed an essential
ingredient in chivalry This, it is
supposed, was derived from the Gus
toms of the primitive Germans,
whose females are represented to
have been very high spirited and to
have exercised considerable sway
over the other sex. Whatevertrut
there may be III this statement, Ger
tain il is that e high ~ species of gal
lantry forms the very spirit of mod
ern ohivalry, and as Il proof of this
we have only to refer to the classi-
fication Of knights duty, to fer
God and love the ladies, to perceive
how necessary female alteration is
to the very existence of this order.
This principle of female adora-
ton, so prominently displayed in
every aspect of chivalry, extended
its influence to the laws of the
times, for we find James II of Ara
gon ordering in this manner: 1--WE
will that every man, whether
knight or no. who shall be in com
pany with lady, pass safe and I'M
molested unless he be guilty OF muir
der. .
And Louis II, duke of Bourbon,
instituting the order of the Golden
Shield, enjoins his knights to honor,
above all, the ladies, and not permit
any one to Islander them, because,
adds he, from them, after God,
comes all the honor that man can ac-.

CANDLE MAKING in SWEDEN

Concerning candle mailing in swe-

hut are made ON what might he call
ed scientific principles, after the ex-
perienee of good many centuries
has told the makers just what ma
terials viii produce tho best results.
They are not run in hand held
molds, at the risk of burning some
body's fingers or spotting the kitch-
ON aoor with splashes of tallow.
Tallow in its crude state is, indeed,
used in the manufacture of these
Swedish candles, but 1t must pass
through long treatment before il
yields up the pure stearin from
which the snowy candles are made.
Some of this tallow reaches Swe-
den after long ship 1ourneyings from
South America, while some of the
stearin does not come from tallow
at all, but from palm oil gathered
by the natives of South Africa, and
still another supply of stearin is Sc
cured in a curious way-from in
sects shipped from China. The in
sets, in dying, turn into a wax very
rich in stearin.
When the stearin is ready for the
mixing, it is nearly pure white i'll
color, clear liquid that has the hue
and consistency of melted white
sugar. In the factory the attend
ants fill their large, wide Tipped zinc
/ pitchers with the liquid stearin, step
to a long row of candle molds, and
1 pour III the melted stearin. The
molds are in sections, II candles TO

dies. The wicks for the candles
have first been twisted from threads
into the proper size and threaded
through the molds by machinery.
As soon as the stearin has cooled
around the wiclss n keen knife passes
under and cuts the ends of the
wiclls, tho candles in the section arc
lifted out and another set of wicks,
all threaded through another set of
molds, stands ready for the next
pouring. Swiftly breaking the can
dies apart, the attendant passee
them on in box to another work
woman, who sends them whi22ing
through trimming and polishing
machine, from which they go TO the
counting table.
/ watched a young woman who
was at work one day in factory in
Sweden (and the factory, by the
way, was located in the candlesticlS
of the giant candle), counting these
candles--a small kind ii happened
to be that they then were making,
perhaps FIVE inches in length. With
deftnoss which was quite extraor-

pile Of candles and unerringly drew
forth 24-nsver more, never less.
All day long she stands at this conn-

intuition, so to speak She knew
exactly how many candles would be

The Flee ion Returns.

The Every Evening seems to be- grieved
be ,ause Chief Justice LIRE and Associate
Judge Spruance canva ,sed tho ballots and
Q directed the In ton ed fraud Of the election
Inspectors. 1t evidently thinks that they
transcribed their authority, particularly
q, 1t com mends tho conduit OF Judges
Psnnewill and Nicholson Of Kent county,
who held that 1t wa; not the function of
the court to open the ballot boxes and re-
count and revise the election officers when
it was admitted that they had used their
best Judgment In u matter committed 70
them by the law and had decided as fairly
AZ they knew how.' This is all very nice,
but when it Is shown that these inspectors
did not count the ballots fairly aud took
every opportunity to act unfairly, the pro-
prlsty of the judges revising the vote Is
made apparent AID Judges Lore anu spru-
ance proved equal to the occasion snd only
roques and the friends Of roguss will find
fault with their action. Honest mon OF
all parties desire honest elections, and they
will sustain our judges in doing their part
to correct plumbers as well as to detect
and expose the tricks Of knaves.
We say that Judges Lore and Spruance
deserve thanks for the course they have
pursued and the fact that the ballots must
pass their inspection, will prove terror
70 evil disposed persons and lead to
honesty at the polls as we'll as in every day
pursuits.
