"a story is told of a trick that was once
played on Chauncey bepew before a
public gathering. Mr.. Depew was
about to deliver a speech when a large
volume labeled "Depew's Old Jokes"
with a striking portrait of the author
on the cover, was hoisted at the end
of the table and an assurance was
demanded that none of the supposed
contents would be served up again.
Mr.: Depew, commercially free from
embarrassment, was about to proceed,
when a photograph concealed in a cor
ner Of the m "babble machine"
as II. G. Wells calls it in his romance.
"When the Sleeper Wakes poured
out a long string of anecdotes told by
Mr.. Depew, or fathered upon him, for
a considerable number of years.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll 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 n 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 SUBJ
stance, and its acting OF 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 a 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.

What Shall We DO,

A serious and dangerous disease pre-
walls in this country, dangerous because
so deceptive. 1t comes on so slowly vet
surely that it is often firmly seated
fefOre we are aware of it,
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is First,
Kidney trouble, Indicated by pain in the
back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent de-
sire to urinate, often with burning
sensation, the flow of urine being copious
or scant with strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with
heavy pain in the abdomen low down
between the naval and the water passage,
increasing desire to urinate, with scald-
ing sensation in passing, small quantities
being passed with difficulty, sometimes
necessary TO draw it with instruments.
If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will
prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stage is Bright's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that Or.
kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered Remedy fam.
Gus for its marvellous cures of the most
distressing cases and known as DR..

Philadelphia proposes to hold an ex-
position next year which will be unique
in the history of such affairs. Although
the export of manufactured articles from
this country has made marvellous strides
in recent years, our manufacturers are
for the most part novices in the business
of supplying foreign markets. 1t is to
educate them that the exposition is to he
held, and the method will be by object
lessons. 1t is proposed to gather, from
every market of the world, the manufac-
tured articles of all descriptions with
which our makers must compete if they
wish to enter those markets. The arti-
Giles will be put on exhibition in Phila-
delphia, and the opportunity thus be
given to home manufacturers to study
them with care and note all the points
they must equal or surpass in order to
enter into competition with fair chance
of success. Great results are expected
to follow, and the government has set
aside S350,OO0 to help along the expo.
