H.wa. n Little Bit Close.

"The meanest man I ever knew said the short passenger, twas fellow who got football and painted it to look like watermelon. Then during the summer months he kept it conspic uously displayed in his back yard and amused himself setting a savage bull dog on hungry people who happened tC take a fancy to the bogus melon"
 "He certainly had his mean points, J said the tall passenger, 'but know a fellow who could give him a discount and then beat him at his own game I was in a restaurant once where this fellow was getting his dinner. After he had finished he called the waiter who had served him and asked:
 "'How much do you get for a tip as a rule?
 ''The walters eyes sparkled. He rub bed his hands together and replied:
 "'Well, sah, we ginally gifts at least a quatah, but sometimes nice, genteel, prosperous lookin gemmans like you gives us 50 cents.'
 ''Then what did this fellow do but put on his hat and say:
 Thanks. I merely wanted to know how much l was going to be ahead by not giving you anything '"-Chicago News.

Mems Feet.

The man buying a pair of shoes found the right one perfectly comfort able and easy, the left one rather snug.
 ''It's usually so," said the salesman ''the left foot is commonly little big ger than the right foot"
 'Why don't you make the left shoe a little bigger, then?" asked the custom CT.
 Well" said the salesman, ''the diff ference is usually not great, and it might not be enough so that it would be noticed if trying on shoes. And then it is not so great but what the differ ence in feeling of the two shoes disap pears very soon. And then, too, in some cases the mans right foot is the larger, the man being right footed in this re spect as men are sometimes left hand ed, the reverse of the common habit in the use of their hands. If shoes were commonly made with the left a little bigger than the right, to fit the major ity of cases, they'd be worse than ever when you hit a right footed man. So the shoes are made alike in size, man gets a pair that fit him comfortably to start with and they adapt themselves quickly to any slight differences in the feet."-New York Sun.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the we'll 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. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa- tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and levers 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. C.
 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 senna 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 remember the full name of the Company printed on the front of every package. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.

Begging Letter. For the Rich.

A lady living less than days jour ney from New York had the curiosity the other day to make certain calcula- tiOns in order to see how large a part of her property she would have had to sacrifice had she granted all the re- quests made for money within a period of 42 days. She kept all the begging letters received during that time, add ed together the amounts they asked for and then discovered that had she granted each individual request for money she would have disbursed ST. 100000. And this, be it remembered. in a short period of six weeks.-Har- per's Bazar.

History fin Knotted Cords.

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. O.. memorable and important events were recorded by long knotted cords. The most ancient history of China Is still preserved as told by these knots When Emperor Tschang Xxi invented writing, the entire system of knOtting was abandoned. And to-day the mem ory knots made by us in handkerchiefs are the only surviving descendants of that ancient and curious custom.

American Pathological Society.

The executive committee Of the
American Pathological Society take
pleasure in announcing their accept
ance of the invitation of the PennSyl-
vania Horticultural Society to hold
their tWenty-siXtn biennial session
with that organization in Philadelphia
on September and s, 1899.
The sessions will be held in the
beautiful and spacious hall of the
Pennsylvania Society, which has been
rendered for the purpose. Space for
exhibits entered in competition for the
Wilder Medals, to be awarded by the
society for fruits of special merit, will
also be provided.
Much interest in the coming session
has been manifested among hOrticul-
turists throughout the country and it
is expected that the attendance will be
large and representative of our fruit
growing interests.
Ten state horticultural societies
have already notified the Executive
Committee of the selection of dele
gates to represent them at the meet
ing, and a number of others are eX-
pected to do so. Questions Of special
Importance to fruit growers will be
discussed and a varied and interesting
program is in preparation.
Low railroad rates from all parts of
the country are assured, as advantage
can be taken of the reduced fares in
effect at that time, on account of the
Grand Army Encampment.
Further announcement of program
and other arrangements will be made
