An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities OF the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

An Argument Tor a Pleasure Park.

The attendance at the band concert
at Hallowell. Thursday evening, ought
to be fair sort of an argument in
favor OF the park that so many people
have spoken Of many times. There
were many people, both in Augusta
and Gardiner, SO it is said, who did not
go on account Of the crowded cars.
even though all the cars were out. and
four special carloads went from Au-
gusta. II an ordinary band concert
with no other thing, unless it was the
cool ride, will draw SO large a crowd.
what would some other sort Of an at
traction in a pretty park with seats
do?
The people went down there. Thurs
day night. and stood about the streets
and sidewalks and listened to the con-
cert. with no other thing to take up
their attention, and yet probably an
other concert would draw an equally
large crowd. The Journal heard many
comments along the business sections
of Augusta, Friday, about the concert
and the crying need of a pleasure park
of some modest kind for the three
cities

Danny R0uth an Actor.

Some pictures of little Danny Routh
have recently been taken by Bond
which are greatly amusing all the peo-
pie who see them. Little Danny is
portrayed as being given an example
in arithmetic to perform. He is
sitting at desk on a soap box,
dressed in his usual free and easy
costume, and looks as natural as life
The first picture shows Danny with
an air of confidence and has been
called That's easy" The next one is
where he bends over the task, not
finding an easy solution. 1t has been
called It's not so easy" The next
one shows determination, and with one
toe bent around the edge of the box
the little fellow is working away at it
like grim death. This is called Il will
have it." The next one shows Dannys
face wreathed with a triumphant
smile. and is called Il have got it,"

1T makes me shudder to see q
woman bite thread or silk with her
teeth" said dentist. yesterday, land
nine women out Of ten take that way
OF shipping off ends when they sew.
we dentists have come to recognize
teeth which have been put to such use,
and have christened them thread
teeth The biting Of thread is one of
the worst abuses to which a tooth can
be subjected. Just why the habit is
formed would be hard to say, because
every workbasket worth the name
contains pair of scissors, and only
the merest fraction Of time is lost in
using them. What would matter the
loss of whole minutes when the well
fare of things which can never be re-
placed is concerned? The persistent
biting is literally saving the enamel
off the teeth, and nothing can take it's
place: yet I venture to say that every
one of the thread biting women would
stOutly maintain that she takes the
best of care Of her teeth, and cannot
understand why she is forced to pay
such frequent visits to her dentist. He
will not tell her what Is the matter,
because he has undoubtedly grown
very weary of giving good advice
which nobody follows. He will repair
the damage as far as his skill goes
and pocket his fees like a sensible
man. Never. never expect in this
work to get an atom of sympathy for
the results of your own foolishness, for
it will not be Forthcoming"

Lewis Johnson Recovering from Injuries.

Lewis johnson of this city, was very
badly injured, Wednesday afternoon,
afternoon. while riding home on his
bicycle from Lake Cobbosseecontee. He
was about half the distance from the
lake to Augusta when he lost his bell
and in looking around for it, while his
wheel was in motion. he did not see a
large stone which was in the way. The
wheel struck the stone and the young
man was thrown several feet striking
on his shoulders.
When picked up he was in an uncon-
scious state. He was brought home
and physician called who found that
though no bones were broken he was
very badly bruised and there might be
a slight fracture Of the collar bone, it
was so badly injured.
Johnson was able to walk to the doc
tors house, Friday morning, and have
his wounds dressed His left arm is
still so that he cannot use it and will
be that way for a week or more, the
doctors say. He is otherwise quite
badly famed on account OF his acct
dent.
