QUALITY AND NEWS.

CESSFUL DEVELOPMENT
One of the Important Functions of
High Class Newspapers.

In presenting interesting phases of sci-
entific and economic problems. high-class
newspapers frequently give information
Of as great value in their advertising col
umns as in those devoted to the publica-
ton of the principal events of the day;
and when the fame of Il product is eX-
tended beyond its natural limits into for
eigu lands, and u large demand created
throughout Great Britain and her colo
MES and the principal seaports and cities
OF Europe, Asia and Africa, it becomes
a pleasant duty to note the fact and to
tell of the points Of excellence on which
so great a success is based. We refer to
the now wOrld-famed laxative RI s.ieiy.
Syrup of Figs, the product Of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Company. The merits
of this we.l-known excellent laxative
were first made known to the world
through the medical journals and news-
papers of the United States; and is one
of the distinct achievements of the press.
1t is now we'll known that Syrup of Figs
is an ethical proprietary remedy, approv-
ed by the most eminent physicians every
where, because it is simple aud effective,
yet pleasant to the taste and acceptable
to the system. and not only prompt in its
beneficial effects, but also wholly free
from any unpleasant after-cffects. 1t is
frequently referred to as the remedy of
the healthy, because it is used by people
who enjoy gooI health and who live we'll
and feel well and are we'll informed on
all subjects generally, including ~laxatives.
In order to get its beneficial effects, it is
necessary to get the genuine Syrup of
Figs. which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only.

Strange ~Coiur,ueucc.

A curious fact was revealed i'm CON
nection with II recent London bazaar.
Before it could be held at the Albert
hall permission had to be obtained from
all the seatholders. This. with two ex-
ceptions. was obtained. and as the OBJ
%jectors, an old lady and an old gentle
man, refused to give their sanction, the
idea of holding the bazaar i'll the hall
would have had to he abandoned but
for the strange coincidence that both
these seatlolders died while the matter

AM AEELIcIcp PRIMES.
Grandson of Queen Victoria the Vic

Grandson of Queen Victoria the VIC
tim of i.pilcpsy.
To the great sorrow Of Queen Victoria
and of all the royal family of England,
the young Duke OF Albany has inher-
tied the pronounced tendency OF cpl
lepsy from his father. whose entire life.
SO prematurely ended, it served tt
blight.
1t had been hoped that the young
prince, who has recently been a school,
mate at Elton OF young Astor and OF
other American lads being educated ut
the G00-year-old college. had escaped
the affection. But during the past few
months he has developed unmistakable
signs Of the malady, and recently had
his first fit, which was of such an
alarming character that he was at
once removed by orders of the doctors
to his mothers home at Clarelnont a
full week before the end of the term.
Nor is 1t likely that he will return to
Elton.
The affair is all the more sad as the
boy is bright, merry and popular. with
u very keen sense of humor. In fact.
mentally he bids fair to resemble his
father, who. in spite of his phenomcnal-
ly delicate health. was the most intel
lcctually brilliant and far and away the
most accomplished OF all the sons Of
Queen Victoria.
1t ma be remembered that the late
Duke OF Albany met with his death in
n particularly shocking fashion, having
first lacerited himself with Il pair of
sharp-pointed scissors and then rolled
downstairs while in the throes OF a
most violent fit. 1t is to be hoped that
his son., the young duke. may be pre-
served from an analogous fate. But
unfortunately. epilepsy is n of those
ailments for which there is little or no
cure. and all the hopes which had been
entertained With regard to the military
career of the royal lad will necessarily
have to be abandoned.
