and has noway exercised his influence
detrimental to the welfare Of the asso-
citation. We brand as utterly false the
preposterous imposition made against
him in ridiculing the actions of the
other members of the association in at
tending meeting at, to him or them,
an undesirable place through the COL
umns of weekly publication. It was
not matter of vital difference to the
management of the hall where the
meetings were held, the pecuniary BEN
efits accruing therefrom being very
moderate, but simply question
whether the association, by patronizing
a public hall that is credit to the
town, wished to exhibit that public
spiritedness" by which it is anxious to
have its acts characterized.

the fame OF q product Is extended beyond

We refer to the now world-famed laxative
remedy, Syrup of Figs, the product OF the
California Fig Syrup Company. The merits
OF this ~weli-known excellent laxative were

achievements of the press. It is now Will

imprisoning his mate throughout her
nesting time. Livingstone watched the
birds habits while IN Monpour, and IN
his subsequent observations referred to
tie nest as q prison and the female
bird as a slave. The nest is built in
the hollow Of q tree through an open
ing in the bark. As loon es 1t is com-
pleted the mother bird enters carefully
and fearfuliy and settles down In 1t.
Then papa walls up the opening, leav-
ing only Just space enough for air and
food to pass through. He keeps faith
ful guard and brings food at regular
intervals Without fail. The female
thrives under her enforced retirement.
But If the prison bird is killed, or In
any other way prevented from tulill-
ing his duties, the mother and her little
ones must die Of starvation, for she
cannot free herself from bondage. Nor
naiIy the imprisonment lasts until the
chicks are old enough to ~. Then thu

RUBBER 70 GETTING SCARCE.
fer That Rss4oA Old Bicycle Tires Are
Being Made Over.

Being Made Over.
The popularity Of bicycling has Gre
ated a great demand for rubber and al
a consequence the commodity Is be-
coming scarce and the need Of econ
ouy in Its use Is imperative. 1t may
no: be generally known that the india
rubber dolls, animals and other toys
used by children in many cases began
their commercial existence in the form
Of bicycle tires. All our indta-rubber
toys come from Germany. and several
e~nterprising English shippers have
found that the shipment OF old, worn
out tires to the German factories IS a
very profitable business. During the
past two years tons OF old rubber, that
used formerly to be thrown away. or
remade into cheap doormats. have
been shipped to Germany, and sent
back transformed into elaborate and
gaudy squeakinS dolls. elephants and
other toys. Though rubber is used for
q wider variety OF articles than any
other material, more rubber was used
last year In the manufacture OF bicycle
tires than for any other purpose. and
the demand fer rubber is now Derma-
nently in excess OF the supply. More
than 800, COO pairs of tires were made
in England during the last season, and
it il impossible to make them Of any
but the very best rubber.
