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. 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 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 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.

Is caution. One day Cox said some

said: Mr.. Speaker, want to interrupt

floor on one condition-that you stop
shaking your forefinger at me. I'm
afraid it might go OFF, All right said
Cannon, and with that he stuck his left
hand in his trousers pocket and began
to speak. just as Cannon got warmed
up he got excited at the sound Of his
own voice, and out came his. left fore
finger, and instantly he was pointing
it with deadly emphasis at Cox. Mr..
Speaker said the latter. breaking into
Cannon's speech. the gentleman has
broken his contract, and refuse to
yield him the floor any longer and
Cox went on in his best vein and gave
Cannon a pretty lively flaying. The

An Awful Ordeal.

Once year, and at one place in
the world. there is crush that sur
passes anything else of its kind in the
world. 1t is the great fair of Bawa
Farid, which is annually held in the
town Of PAX Pattan, in British India.
It is held in honor of the famous st.
Farid-ud-Din, surnamed Shakar
CAM, or sugar store, from the fact
that his body had become 30 pure by
continual fasting that whatever was
put into his mouth, even earth and
stones, was instantly changed into
sugar.
The principal ceremony consists of
passing through an opening made in
q wall adjoining the shrine, measure
ing 5 feet by ~ feet, and called sThe
Gates of Paradise"
Whoever between noon eud night
Ii able to pass through this opening
is assured of Paradise, and when
there are $4,000 striving to pase
through at the same time the crush
is something terrific. Women faint,

years the father, q stanch Roman Cath

prayers have been offered for him In
numerous converts and churches and
votiye offerings made. He has en-
ployed the best medical talent, but
there seems to be no Improvement in
the boys condition. He IL devoted to
him. The duke Of Norfolk is a COM
paratively young man, little over so
years Of age. He Is widower, and has
never seemed to want to marry again.
His brother, who was Cardinal How
ard, lost his mind shortly before he
died. Arundel castle, in Sussex, is one
OF the great showhouses of England.

Strange Feats OF the Eye and Hand.
An expert who prided himself up
the smalenss of his writing sent the
