An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe 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

First School For Chinese Women
[From the Chicago Record.l ]


The first school ever established for
the education of the higher caste of
Chinese women recently celebrated its
first anniversary at Shanghai and may
now be considered a permanent institu-
ton and complete success. This
school owes it's origin to two young
Chinese ladies who were educated in
medicine at Michigan University and
returned to their homes inspired with a
down the barriers that kept their sisters
in ignorance and secluSion.
They interested the wives of several
progressive Chinese mandarinS who had
Travelled abroad and observed the condi-
ton of foreign women. A luncheon was
given at a public restaurant in Shang-
hal at which, for the first time in his
tory, high-caSte Chinese women and
their foreign sisters met on social terms
The plan to esta bliSh this school was
discussed, the cooperation and advice
of the foreign ladies was invited, a COM
mittee was appointed to solicit sub
scriptions, and within a few months the
school was opened, with fifty pupils
foreign families, as well native
teachers.
The young ladies have made most as
tOniShing progress in the ordinary
branches of a modern education, and the
movement has met with such cordial
approval that their number will be dou-
bled during; the second year, which will
commence in September next Most of
them are misses from to Is years of
age, but a few are considerably older
and two are married women.

LIGHTNING DRAWN
By an Umbrella, With Serious Conse-
Quencea

New York. May 3.-During violent
thunder storm last night lightning
struck Sadie Tunic, a Russian girl, 13
years old, while standing in Canal
street. The bolt was attracted by the
steel rod of her umbrella She was
taken to hospital where it was found
she was badly burned about the abdo-
men, right leg, both wrists, nose and
right cheek, and that she was suffering
from shock.
Radiating downward from the upper
part of the breast were half a dozen
marks scared in the skin, while around
each thigh and extending to the knee
were a series of rings. Around each
wrist and not unlike a bracelet tattooed
in the skin were two rings. Her cloth
ing was untouched.
For nearly an hour after her admit
tance to the hospital both her legs were
paralyzed, but she recovered the use
of those members. The girl said that
she did not have any pain at any time.
The physicians do not believe she
will recover and they are greatly sur
prised that she was not killed outright.
Canal street was crowded at the time
the bolt descended and there was much
excitement among the people.

was found later on by the nuns, who at

mentions that ever since that awful night

night:

A PARTISAN LANDMARK.
IFrom the London Telesraph.1

IFrom the London Telegraph
One more landmark of old Paris is to
disappear. The Passage Saumon, once
the center of fashion, and situated in
the heart of the metropolis, is to be de-
molished and built over. Tomorrow
the ground will be offered for sale in the
Chamber of NOtaries. Half a century
since the Passage Saumon was as fash
ionable as the Rue de Ia Paix is today.
There the dressmakers and the milliners
of the old days prepared the finery
which was to dazzle the eyes of pro-
vincials. Maids and matrons from the
country f1ocked thither to buy Pamela
hats and other articles of the kind, and
not a few Parisiennes of the period
were also dressed there.
In its vicinity were famous reStaur-
ants, one of which, the Rocher de Can
Gale, still manages to exist There, too,
was the Theatre Moliere; while, in the
matter of literary reminiscence, it was
in the Passage Saumon that Victor
Hugo wrote part of Marion Delorme''
one rainy day when he entered a cafe
there. Alphonse Daudet, too, has left a
detailed description of the place in one
of his earliest books, lie Petit Chose -
There are many Parisians of the pres
ent generation who do not even know
where the Passage Saumon is. The spot
has long been neglected for more stately
and more monotonous localities in the
west, wherein every well-dressed man
and woman thinks and acts alike
Its glory is vanished like that of the
Palais Royal, the Place des Vosges, and
other localities famous in the social,
artistic and political annals of France.
The Passage Saumon is beyond the
Bourse and connects the Rue Montmar-
ire with the Rue Montorgueuil. Not
far from it was the old postoffice, where
people arriving by diligences from all
parts of France got down. OF late years
the Arcade, once so brilliant, had be-
come the dullest and dingiest of city re-
sorts, and was inhabited by cheap
millinerS, small grOcers, vendors of re-
SuScitated tall-hatS, and providers of
faded f1nery for females with limited
funds at their disposal.
