ONE OF THE IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS
OF HIGH-CL NEWSPAPERS.

In presenting interesting phases OF scen-
tihc and economic problems, high-olnss
newspapers frequently give Information OF
as great value In their advertising columns
as in those devoted to the publication OF
the principal events OF the day, and when
the fame OF product Is extended beyond
its natural limits into foreign lands, and
large demand created throughout Great
Britain and her Colonies and the principal
sea-ports aud cities OF Europe, Asia and
Africa, Il becomes q pleasant duty to note
the fact and TO tell OF the points OF excel
lence on which 90 great success lie based.
We refer to the now world famed laxative
remedy, Syrup OF Figs, the product OF the
California Fig Syrup Company. The merits
OF this well-known excel ent laxative we're
FIRST made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers OF tho
United States; and Is one OF the distinct
achievements OF the press. 1t Is now well
known that Syrup OF Figs is an ethieal
proprietary remedy, approved by the most
eminent physicians everywhere, because 1t
Is simple and effective, yet pleasant to
the taste and acceptable to the system, and
not only prompt in its beneficial effects,
but also wholly free from any unpleasant
effects. 1t is frequently referred to as
the remedy OF the healthy, because 1t is
used by people who enjoy good health and
who live well AMI feel well and are well
informed on all subjects generally, includ-
Ing laxatives Inorder to get Its beneficial
effects, 1t is necessary to get the genuine
Syrup OF Figs, which is manufactured by

GREAT JAW POWER OF ANIMALS

carnivora Exercise Tremendous Force u
Their Conflicts.
Not everyone has been bitten by
dog, a cat or other animal whose weap-
ons OF offense and defense are their
teeth, and consequently has not lived
in dread of hydrophobia or lockjaw or
blood poisoning. Still fewer among
our citizens have any comprehension
OF the great power required to infics
the wounds that all have heard OF,
even though they have not experienced
them. The teeth. even of the largest
carnivora, are merely the "spearheads,'
but the force which works" these In
struments is prodigIouA It seems as
II for the moment the animal threw all
Its bodily energy into the combination
OF muscular action which we call a
bite" In most cases the mere shock
OF impact as the animal hurls itself
on It's enemy is entirely demoralizing
or infiicts physical injury. A muzzled
mastiff will hurl man to the ground
In the effort to fasten his teeth in his
throat or shoulder. Then, the driving
and crushing forcs OF the jaw muac,as
is astonishing The swapping power
Of an alligators Jaw Is more or less ia
telligible. They are long and fur,
nished with row Of pointed tee
from end to end. But the jaws Of :.
lion, leopard, tiger, otter, ferret or
babboon are short and the long and
pointed teeth are few. Yet each OF
their species has biting power which
IN proportion to its size Is almost In
credible. Sir Samuel Baker, who had
a long and varied acquaintance with
bites OF the carnivora, noticed that the
tiger usually seized an Indian native
by the shoulder and with one jaw on
one side and the other on the other bit
clean through the chest and back. "The
fatal wound was the bite, which
through back and chest, penetrated the
lungs" Europeans are killed by the
tigers bite as well as lacerated by the
claws. A Mr.. Lawes, son of mission
cry of that name, was killed after be-
ing shaken for few moments by q
tigress, which then left him. He died
next day. In nearly all cases the bite
penetrates to the lungs. This kind Of
wound is characteristic OF the at
tacks OF many OF the felidae Scarcely
any bird RECEIVERS from cats bite for
the same reason The canine teeth are
almost instantly driven through the
lung. under the wing The cheetah,
which has very small mouth, always
bites through the black bucks throat.
The leopard, when seizing smaller an
imals. such as dogs, brushes the head
when attacking men It aims at biting
through the lungs.

The marriage customs of the
Negulos are peculiar. The young
man who seeks bride first obtains
the favor Of her parents and then pur-
sues her, catching her in his arms.
She breaks loose and runs, and does
not yield until he has caught her
several times. Finally he leads her
in triumph to her home. Here her
father drags the youth up ladder to
the floor Of their hut. The mother
drags up the maiden. They are then
made to kneel, and the father yours
over them a cocanut-shellful OF water.
He then bumps their heads together
and the ceremony is completed. They
spend their honeymoon in the depths
OF the mountains and for five days
and nights are lost to sight, after
which they come back to everyday
life.
There is another marriage custom
which is worth describing. Instead OF
the youth and maiden being dragged
up the hut ladder, they are made to
climb two saplings that grow near
each other. Then an eide, of the
group grasps the saplings and draws
them together until the heads of the
Young couple touch, with kiss or n
bump, according to the force used.
This makes them man and wife. -

Day dreaming and the building of
fantastic castles in the air is not half
so innocuous and harmless pleasure
as it seems. The day dreamer, accord
ing to medical experts. is akin to a
lunatic. Children and old men who
revel in day-dreams have mental char
acteristics of the insane. Often they
tell lies, not because they lack the
moral sense, but because they have
distorted in themselves imagination.
Gradually they lose the requisite wifi
power TO concentrate their minds on a
given subject, and their thoughts be-
gin to wander. Then 1t is only a race
between insanity and death. the win
