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. 1t
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 it's 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 a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

Small Increase In Membership.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 29.-At Fri
days session Of the general assembly
Of the United Presbyterian church the
report of the committee on the state
of religion aroused much discussion.
The report among other things said:
"The increase in membership has been
small. Last years percentage Of gain
was so pitifully small that it has been
shameful"
There were 954 more removals"
than were reported last year. From
the years 1860 to 1865 is the only period
OF the church's history In which so
small percentage Of gain appears.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Business Of the Last Seven Days
Holds the High Mark
NO CAUSE FOR NERVOUSNESS.
Dull Times Seem Very Far In the Future
Large Payments Made Through
Clearing Houses-Industrial Activity
Il widespresd-The Weeks Failures.

New York, May 29.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says:
There n some fear that has no
other cause than the habit of fear.
Men have found for so many years
disaster treading on the heels of ap-
prehension that they lack faith in
good things, present and to come.
Every year there Is worry about the
short crops, and yet the crops grow
larger. The specter Of monetary
trouble haunts men who know that
the country Is strong beyond any need.
And all the time the volume of bust
ness Is rising. This weeks payments
through the chief clearinghouse are
62.1 per cent larger than last year and
68 per cent larger than In 1892.
Failures for the week have been
last year, and 16 in Canada, against
81 last year."
Bradstreet's says:
Favorable features Of current trade
still, as for a long time past, largely
outnumber those of an opposite char
acter. Wholesale distribution is natu-
rally less active as the season adj
vances, but comparisons with last year
are still very satisfactory. Industrial
activity Is widespread, and the prices
Of most staples are either very firm or
tending upward, except In the cases OF
products affected by weather condi-
tons.
Reports from winter wheat become
increasingly unfavorable. Wheat (in-
Guiding fiour) shipments for the week
aggregate 3.19S,31S bushels, against
2,212,206 bushels last week. Corn ex-
ports for the week aggregate 3,S45,S1
bushels, against 2,753.414 bushels last
week"

A lazy liver may be only tired liver, or
a starved liver. A stick is all right for the
back of lazy man. But 1t would be a
savage as well stupid thing to beat weary

1t Is great mistake to lash 1t with drastic
drugs. In ninety-nine cases out Of hum
dred torpid or sluggish liver is but a
symptom of an ill-nourished body. whose
organs are weary with overwork. Let your
liver alone. Start with the stomach and its
allied organs of digestion and nutrition.
Put them In proper working order. and see
how quickly your liver will become active
and energetic. DR.. Perces Golden Medi-
cal Discovery has made many marvellous

control of the organs of digestion and

County Teachers Institute.

The teachers institute, beginning
July 8, will possess several distinct
features of special value to all who at.
tend.
First the instruction in the regular
subjects of study will be very thorough
and profitable with the able corps OF
teachers, Supt LOOMS, Supt. Collins,
and Prin. Bauer. Students will be given
all the studying they can do and all the
aid possible to be given, in four weeks.
Second, the training school work to
be given by Miss Goss in the first grade
and by Miss Satterlee in the sixth grade,
will be very profitable to every progress
sive teacher and would-be teacher.
These teachers will conduct the work
with the pupils they have had during
the past year; and this work will be the
illustration not of results, but of meth
DDS and processes. 1t is not to be taken,
so far as text book work is concerned,
from the work gone over during the
past year; but is intended to show how
to develop new lesson or new sub
ject, and how to conduct class recita-
ton.
Third, aside from whatever evening
talks or lectures may hereafter be pro-
vided, it is intended that little practi-
cal experience shall be furnished in the
workings of the political machinery Of
the township, county, and state. This
work will be done by the teachers hold
ing caucuses, county conventions, vot-
ing by the Australian system, etc.
AS we believe attendance at the insti-
tute will be of more practical value to
the apt and alert than the reading of
some book on the theory ana art of
teaching, those attending the institute
ninety per cent of the time will be eX-
cused from examination in theory and
art in August and October; and such at
tendance will be taken into general
consideration in granting standings in
other subjects.

A Song of the Farm.

A word to the restless people--to the
fast and feverish age:
A perfect manhood is better than any
wealth or wage.
Some are for gold-some, glitter; but
tell me, tell me, when
Will we stand for the farm and the col
lege, that go for the making of men
Yea, what has the old farm fit for? The
word is wisely said;
There may be stumps in the pasture,
and the house may be shed;
But what if Lincoln or Garfield be
here in this boy of ten?
And what should the farm be fit for, if
not for the raising of men?
IT'S a scanty soil for feeding but here
we win our bread,
And stout heart may grow stronger
where pillow and harrow are sped;
Then break up the bleak, high hillside
and trench the swamp and fen
For what should the farm be fit for, if
not for the raising of men?
The crop by the frost is blighred a mig
gard the season seems;
Yet the ready hand finds duties, and the
heart of youth has dreams.
The bar and the senate tomorrow, to.
morrow the sway of the pen;
For what should the farm be fit for, if
not for the raising of men?
And what if our lot be humbler-if we
on the farm abide?
There is room for noble living, and the
realm of thought is wide;
A mind enriched is fortune, and you
will know it when
You see that the farm is fit for the rear
ing of noble men.
We tread the hills that the Holy that
the Beautiful has trod;
We till the fields of the Infinite, we dress
the gardens of God.
