It was 1t the earnest request Of the
people Of this state that Senator FAIR
banks and party are making their pres
ent trip to the Northwest for the pur-
pose Of acQuainting themselves more
fully with the conditions obtaining
here. The only thing We had to fear
from the commission was that action
would be taken without full knowledge
Of the facts. II 10 not strange that the
people Of the Sound who have 60 much
ut stake should give the Waiting party
Q warm welcome and do al In their

tons. Now that the Investigation II
being made We are satisfied that the
American members OF the commission
will be enabled to give our interests In
telligent consideration and We are WILL
ing to leave the matter wholly in their
hands.
The Canadian government has seen
NJ to listen to and grant the demand Of
the residents Of Manitoba and the
Northwest territory that American
lumber be admitted free. and now. with
fine consistency. the World demands
that Canadian lumber. lath and shin
giles be admitted free to the markets Of
the United States and threatens W
with horrible bosy in the guise Of
a Canadian duty on American lumber.
We can stand 1t II the farmers Of Man

ambitious and grasplng neighbour who
expect the whole deliberations and the
outcome to favor their pretensions."

hoped to succeed through the culpahis

The Importance of Informing the Public
of the Value of an Article Through
The Leading Newspapers.

The few remedies which have attained to
underworld fame, as truly beneficial in eff
feet and giving satisfaction to millions of
people everywhere, are the products of
the knowledge of the most eminent ply
sicians and presented in the form m lost
acceptable to the human system by the
skill OF the worlds great chemists: and one
of the most successful examples is the
Syrup of Figs manufactured by tho Cali
| fornia Fig Syrup Co. Unlike Il host of
limitations and cheap substitutes Syrup of
| Figs is permanently beneficial in its effects
and therefore lives and promotes good
| health, while inferior preparations are he
| ing cast aside ana forgotten. In olden
times if a remedy gave temporary reliet to
individuals here and there, it was thought
good, but nowadays laxative remedy
must give satisfaction to all. Ii you have
never used Syrup OF Figs, give it trial;
you will be pleased with ii, and rec
ommend 1t to your friends or to any who
suffer from constipation. overlooking,
colds, headaches, biliousness, or other ills
resulting from an inactive condition of the
kidneys, liver and bowels.
In the process OF manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
California Fig Syrup Co., and named
Syrup of Figs, figs are used, hs they are
pleasant to the taste; but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained from
an excellent combination of plants known
to te incidentally laxative and to act most
benef1cially. As the true and original
remedy, named Syrup of Figs, is manufac-
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, II knowledge of that fact will assist
In avoiding the worthless limitations manu-
tactured by other parties. The Company
has selected for years past the leading pub
tications of the United States through which
to inform the public OF the merits OF its
remedy.

The first official act Of NJ. Trianto-
phyllacos, the Grecian minister Of the
interior, was to issue an order forbid
ding the wearing of hats at any theat-
rical representation. This met with
unanimous approval from the men and
a storm of protests from the women.
One of Athens leaders of fashion ap-
peared at the theater a short time ago
with her luXuriant tresses crowned
with a very minute bonnet. The Of
flcer on duty politely called her atten-
ton to the printed notices forbddins
the wearing of hats. and she was
obliged to remove the Objectionable
headgear, all the while vowing to be
revenged. The next evening the wom-
an arrived at the theater bonnetless,
but her hair was arranged in such a
manner that it was little short of a
monument on top Of her head Those
of the spectators behind her deeply
regretted that the law had not also
forbidden monstrositics of the hair

THE PARSONS DAUGHTER.

Little foot whose lightest rar
Seems TO glorify the mat,
Waving hair and picture hat,
Grace the nymrhs have taught her ;
Gown the pink Of fit and style,
Lips that ravish when they SMILE
Like vision, down the aisle
Comes the parsons daughter.
As she passes, like dart,
10 each luckless fellows heart
Leaps throbbng thrill and smart,
When his eye has sought her;
Tries 'ss then his sight to bless
With one glimpse of face or tress,
Does she know it?-well, l guess!
Pretty parsons daughter.
Leans she now upon her glove
Cheeks whose dimples tempt to love,
And, with sanity look above,
Hears her "pu" eXhort her;
But. within those upturned eyes,
Fair as sunny summer skies,
Just u hint of mischief lies
Rogutsh parsons daughter.
From their azure depths askance,
When the hymn-book gave the chance,
Did get one laughing glance?
was sure l caught her;
Are her thoughts so far amiss
As to stray, like mine, to bliss?
For, last night, l stole kiss
From the parsons daughter.

Bismarck stories continue to en-,
Iiyen the German press. A few days
since the world was informed OF q
youthful escapade OF the late Chan
cellor at Rudesheim which nearly led
to his death by drowning. He was
saved by the prompt action of a Mas
sau cadet, who sprang into the river
and brought the sobered student to
shore. Bismarck did not care to be
reminded in later days of this Incl
dent, and, to Judge by the sequel, il
constituted source of regret also to
the cadet. The latest story depicts
the brave rescuer of the future Chan
cellor as he was one day marching
with the army OF Prince Alexander of
Hesse during the war of 1867. The
former cadet had developed into the
corpulent Captain Sterling, with
whom the exertion of marching under
blazing July sun did not seem to
agree. At intervals the exhausted
officer wiped his forehead and gave
vent to low muttered imprecations.
In the course of one of these out.
bursts he was heard to say:
"Ah, if had only let him drownn
"Let whom drown, captain?" in
quired the colonel of the regiment.
"Why," answered the Nassauer, il
his broad dialect, chad 1 just let Bis
marck drown that day instead O
fetching him out of the Rhine, there
would have been no need for US to rur

Tying knots in the handkerchief to
jog ones memory had its origin in
China thousands of years ago. Before
writing was invented in that country,
which did not happen until 5000 B.
c., memorable and important events
were recorded by long knotted cords.
The most ancient history of China is
still preserved as told by these knots.

1t has been said that Commodore
Dewey sought to obtain the command
of the Asiatic station because he fore.
saw the opportunity that was to come
to him. In one sense this is true
Dewey has always been man Of
action, natural fighter. That he
went gladly to the East Indies com,
mand, when at least two other flag.
officers could have had it if they had
wanted it, and that he preferred TAX.
ing service afoat to any kind of com.
Portable duty on shore, is true; but il
was the seaman's instinct that led him,
rather than any prophetic power.
There were several questions of grave
Importance likely to come before the
country, and Commodore Dewey
knew that the man in command a,
sea is the man who is in position to
make opportunities for himself; while
the men who cling to easy billets
ashore must--when war-clouds threaten
stand around and wait for chances
to come to them. 1t was no mere
chance that put George Dewey in
command in the East; it was the
logical working out of the principles Of
lifetime. The men who had always
had sufficient influence to keep them
in time of peace in easy places in
New York and Washington, while
others did the hard work OF the service
at sen, discovered that all their in
duence could not give them the
places of danger and of honor in time
of war. 1t was a good lesson for the
navy, and it should be remembered
by every young officer. Joseph l..
