A funny story about Miss Marie

where that mystic novelist has been
living opposite a young ladies' school.
II appears that In this school are many
pianos, daily practice upon which by
the pupils has been excessively dam
aging to Mis- corelli's nerves, Driven
to desperation, the New York Tribune
says, she wrote to the principal OF tho
school asking that when pianotorte
practice was going forward the win
dows might be kept closed, as the noise
lnterfered with the progress OF literary
composition, TO which the school,
mistress replied that II the noise would
prevent the composition Of another
book like the Sorrows OF Satan" she
would order dozen more pianos.

when you were constructing your west

and begged the laborers to come here.
OF course, others followed their example
later. But, had you not done this, do
not believe there would have been any
Chinese laborers here.
"These men do not rob you. They
work day and night and make faithful

pertinent. Whenever l had found
nest before this, a visit a few hours
later would find the nest deserted, the
kittens removed to some secret spot.
When again visited the nest in ques-

kitten. II that cat had no conception
Of death she would have placed the
dead kitten beyond my reach, and for
the same reason that caused her to

the fame OF product is extended be-
yond Its natural limits into foreign

becomes pleasant duty to note the
fact and to tell Of the points OF ex-
cellence on which so great success is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup Of Figs,

Syrup Company The merits OF this
well-known excellent laxative were
first made known to the world through
the medical journals and newspapers
of the United States; and is one Of the

is an ethical proprietary remedy, ap-

also wholly free from any unpleasant
