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. II
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. It's 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 10 the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by a 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.

FINS COMING TO THIS COUNTRY.
There IL Great Rush from Their
Home Land Just Now

HULL. ENGLAND. April 1i.-There is
a great rush Of young Finlanders for the
United States 10 avoid the recent decree
Of Emperor Nicholas regarding Finland,
which provides for an increase of the
Russian military and naval forces and
the extension Of construction. The
steamer Arcturus landed Sl5 men here
yesterday from Hango; 202 arrived few
days ago, and all report that many more
are coming as soon az possible.
All the attempts Of the Firms TO check
the recent Russian aggression in FINLAND
nave proved futile. General BObrikOm,
the new GOvernOr-General, has compelled
the Finnish Senate to send orders 10 all
ministers throughout Finland forbidding
them even 20 Criticise the imperial ukase.
He has himself supplemented the Isct-
which makes the Russian language OBJ
ligatOry in the University OF Hels.ngfOrS
and I'm the schools Of the provinces-With
AN orders ordering Russian coinage. and
directing that all old Finn sh coins shall
b. returned 20 the mint and removed from
circulation The Swedish professors at
the university have been replaced by Rus
slams. The Cars secrct-serVice agents,
who are very active throughout the cOun-
try. have been promising farm hands that
as soon as the Finnish law has Dcen re-
placed by the Russian system they sndll
have all the land they want. rms the
Finnish newspapers say, means theIt ana
spoHauon of the peasant landed proprie-
tors. who own most Of the arabic land.
Any such measure, If carried out, would
result in the ruin OF all agricultural en-
tcrprise I'm Finland.
Throughout Scandinavia. which IS
warmly sympathetic with Finland, this
attitude of Russia has provoked feel
ing Of intense indignation. and the SWed-
ish press calls upon the government TO
abstain from taking part In the dis
armament conference. which meets next
month at The Hague-a congress Wnlch
they stigmatize as hypOcrtical in the
face Of DEGREES which contemplate an In
crease Of armament and would attain 1t
by destroying all hope Of peipetuatlng
the Finnish nationality. which the cars
are under the most solemn pledges 10
maintain.
