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. It
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. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its 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.

The Advantage of one Eye.

During the late Spanish-American
war certain old colonel who had lost
an eye at the battle of Gettysburg was
very indignant because he was put
aside as physically incapacitated, when
he applied for admission to one of the
New York volunteer regiments.
Filled with wrath and chagrin the
colonel journeyed to Washington, bent
on having a personal interview with
the president. He succeeded in gaining
an audience, and the president, after
listening to his plea, said, kindly:
But, my good Col. j, you have
only one eye!"
Just so, SIR was the prompt re-
jofnder, ''but can't you see the great
advantage of my having only one eye
When 1 aim my gun l shan't have to
close the other!''
He fought at Santiago.-Youth' S
Companion.

Attempts are made 10 liken the occur

responsible for the destruction Of the

be instituted with the blowing up Of
tho battleship, is in respect for the loss
OF life, rs there was good reason TO fear
that the train in question was the one
that had left Mafeking with 800 women
and children. Taken in connection with
the earlier announcement from Vryburg
that 1000 Beers were holding the line, il
can only be inferred that the train was
either destroyed by artillery or blown

tillery issuing from an up to date
armory
The proposed alterations will cost
about SIPS, 900, and a better building
could have been put up for less. But
it would not have been the Cradle of
Liberty and Bostonians wanted the
old building preserved.
The plan adopted contemplates the
entire reconstruction of he interior
above the ground floor. The old floors
will be replaced by steel and prick, the
new roof will be of slate and steel, and
the inside walls will be of steel and
plaster.
The greatest care will be taken to pre-
serve the exact original interior finish
in the reconstruction, except that steel
will take the place of wood. 1t has been
found that the original corners OF the
building stood OF piles of common field
stone. These have been replaced by
granite inc cement piles 16 feet deep.
The new steel supporting columns run
up In exactly the same positions the old
wooden ones occupied, and the dozens
of ancient wooden columns in the main
hall are all being replaced by new steel
ones. painted to reproduce he old mot
tied coloring.
All the balcony rails, the wall panels,
the balustrades surrounding the ball
comics, the doors, windows n mold
ings have been taken out and placed in
a ~freproof storehouse until the time
comes to put them back in the old
places. When the new platform in the
main hall is rebuilt, the occasion will
be taken advantage of to rebuild it ex-
actly as it was in Peter Faneuifs time.
not as Bo~stonians of the present gem
Grafton remember it.
Al new steel and terra Gotta brick
floor is to be built for the A~ncients' hall.
This floor is to be raised Is inches in
order to make room for the heavy steel
! Orders. This plan will render the pres
ent tie rods in the Ancients' hall UNI
necessary, and the result will be a clear
hall space unbroken by any supports.
The old lantern cupola has been torn
down, and a new one with a steel
frame, an exact reproduction of the
present wooden relic, is to be raised in
its place. 1t will be covered with cop
per, which is to be treated with acid to
get the exact tint of the old weather
beaten boards. The s~elfsarne grass
hopper which has erved Is a weather
vane more than $50 years will again
adorn the top of the cupola and point
the direction of the wind as of old.
Faneuil hall was built in 1742 with the
idea that it would never fall. When 1t
was presented to the city, 1t was a won
derful building in the matter of o n
struction for that time. 1t was en-
larged in 1906 and partially rebuilt
twice since after fires.

always shawls. Until short capes are
quite warm enough black wooden coats
or cloaks can be worn for run about.
The present rules governing the year.
ing of mourning are these: The widow
should wear her weeds for a year and a
day. The greater part of this costume
should be almost covered with Eng
ljsh Grape. The French and Italian
grapes are too light and fimsy for such
purpose.
With this must be worn the onnet or
toque with the long veil and the white
ruche, though, as I said before, this Is
no longer absolutely required.
This first year passed, Grape though
less, should be worn six months more
and then Grape can be taken off her
black clothes, but these should be worn
for six months longer.
After that comes the period of half
mourning, and If she Is still incon-
solable they may be worn still longer.
This half mourning has much latitude
allowed. Black and white lilac, laven-
der, mauve, gray and white are all ad-
Missile. So is violet.
With these can be made some lovely
things, well calculated to bring a CLEAN
Of comfort to the weeping young wild
ow. Black and whites are very fash
ionable anyhow.
Daughters are expected to wear Grape
mourning for three months, but with
out the wells, and black for six months
and half mourning for three. This
makes some very pretty hats, capes
and dresses possible. The f~ashioning
of the deepest mourning for young girls
is not so very different from other girls
gowns, Hnd a mourning dress may and
should be as pretty as possible.
Sisters wear Grape for three months,
black for three more n half mourn
ing for six months. For a father or
mother all daughters old enough to
wear long dresses wear Grape for at
least six months and half mourning the
rest of the year. The younger daugh-
tiers wear black garments, and their
hats are Of felt or straw, according to
the season. n trimmed with lusterless
black ribbon and perhaps a few stiff
uuills or short ostrich tips.
In this country women wear compli-
mentary mourning for their husbands
relatives, but not always, and we do
not have to go in mourning on court
occasions.
When a lady is obliged to put on
mourning garb, she should pay strict
| attention to many small matters in the
way of costume. All her petticoats
should be black, her hosiery also Her
gloves, cuffs, neckwear, combs, jew
els, belts, ribbons, parasols and hat
pins should be carefully chosen.
