The Italian Boys New World.

The W. tier knows little Italian lad
of six, to whom the problems of food,
clothing, and shelter have become so
immediate and pressing that, although
an imaginative child. he is unable to
see life from any other standpoint.
In his mind the goblin or bugaboo OF
the more fortunate child has come to
lie the need of coal, which caused his
father hysterical and demonStrative
grief when it carried off his mothers
inherited linen, the mosaic st. Joseph,
and, worst of all, his own rubber
boots. He olce came to Il party ut
Hull House, and was .terested in
kitchen. He became excited over the
discovery that fire could be produced
without fuel. 81 will tell my father
of this stove. You buy no coal; you
need only II match. Anybody will give
you match"
He was taken to visit at couLtr,,
house, and at once inquired how much
rent was paid for it, On being told
caielessly by his hostess that they
pa 4 no rent for that house, he came
ba TX quite wild with interest that the
problem was solved. "Me and my
father will go to the country. You get

Nothing else in the country interested
him but the subject of rent, and he
taked of that with an eXclusiveness

The Importance of Informing the Public
of the Value of an Art .cio Through
the Lending NeWspnpcrs.

The few remedies which have attained to
wide-world fame, rs truly beneficial in ef-
feet and giving satisfaction tn millions of
people everywhere, are the products OF
the knowledge of the most eminent ply
sicans, and presented in the form most
acceptable to the human system by the
skill of the worlds great chemists: and one
Of the most successful examples is the
Syrup of Figs manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. Unlike n host Of
limitations and cheap substitutes, Syrup OF
Figs is permanently beneficial in its effects,
and therefore lives and promotes good
health, while inferior preparations are hc-
ing east aside and forgotten. In olden
times II II remedy gave temporary relief to
individuals here and there, il was thought
good, but nowadays II laxative remedy
must give satisfaction to all. IL you have
never used Syrup OF Figs, give it II trials
you will he pleased with il. and rec
ommend 1t to your friends or to any who
suffer from constipation, overlooking,
colds. headaches. bilionsness, or other ills
ltng from an inactive condition OF the
kidneys, liver and bowels.
In the process OF manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
California Fig Syrup Co., and named
Syrup Of Figs, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste; but the medicinal
properties Of the remedy are obtained from
an excellent combination OF plants known
to lie incidentally laxative and to act most
brneilcially. As the true and original
remedy, named Syrup OF Figs, is manufac-
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.

IN avoiding the worthless limitations manu-
inclured by other parties. The Company
has selected for years past the leading pub

The alilnentary value of fish is in.
disputable; it is wholesome and nu
tritious, and in its wide range Of quail
ity and flavor affords qualification to
the coarsest as vel rs the most refined
taste. Moreover, in prime cost, it is
the cheapest of flesh foods and should
therefore be the universal aliment--
everywhere staple dish upon the
family board. To most, however, it
is substantially luxury; in many
localities it is not obtainabe fresh,
and so falls into public disfayor; but
even where presented in acceptable
condition, the accommodation is usu-
ally effected with difficulty and ex-
pense, involving corresponding
limitation of sale. Thus it is that the
consumer is dissatisfied, the dealer is
not content, and the producer, the
poor fisherman, rightly bewails his
lot, for he profits least. 1t can be
truthfully said that there is no branch
of civilized effort wherein the pro-
ducer receives SO small proportion
of the ultimate or consumers price as
does the toiler of the sea for the I'M
changed product of his labor.-North

He took into partnerships young man
who had All eye for business, as well
as Il clear understanding of the law.
When the partnership was being ar
ranged the young man asked about
fees.
"Well," said Mr.. Pettus, in his
calm, deliberate way, "these people
are pretty poor, and we do not want
to be too strict in the matter of fees.
We will take enough to keep us out OF
the poorhouse and not enough to send
us to the penitentiary."
After awhile the firm was retained
in very large cotton case. The
Young man took hold of the case,
settled it satisfactorily, and finally an
nounced his success to his elder col
