An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIes, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe 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 SIENNA 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.

Some RIdicuIoux Nnmea

According to Lippincott's, Maurice Thompson was no admirer of Ameri- can nomenclature. "No poet" said he, lever got a chance to redeem the crudi- ties of our nomenclature. 'Mocking bird' Is bad enough, but 'thrasher' for mountain thrush! Doesn't 1t preclude all prospects of competition with a nightingale, though ours may be the superior vocalist? And those postof- fee names! Nature has lavished all her favors upon some of our southern mountain parks, but it takes an ad- mirer with strong nerves to get his mall addressed to Pignut Cove or Greasy Creek.
 "The very Tartars could do better than that. 'Tengris Kahn the 'Specter Prince they called their grandest peak on the Chinese border. It's probably nothing but bleak, treeless crag, and we have a much prettier sovereign close by here, gleaming with white cliffs and glorious In its crown of ever green pines. But they had to spoil 1t and call 1t the Great Hogback noun tain.'"
 "They should have stuck to the h. dian names." laughed our Georgia land lord.
 "Yes, in this neighborhood anyhow" said the euphonist. Human speech of that sort does become little more musical as you go farther south. From Oshkosh to Tallulah is long step in the right direction"

A Missing City.

There are some 10000 persons of all classes and ages missing in London every year." said a Scotland Yard ofa- cial
 We are generally able to account for 5000 by referring to the bodies 'un- known found in the Thames and other places and by taking for granted that the rest have left London for various reasons. We have the majority of the latter on our records as wanted Still even then HOOD are left. The greater number of these are probably living in London under assumed names and dis guises and in different walks of life. They are cut off from all intercourse with their relations and former friends and have as citizens changed their per sonalities.
 "In fact, there Is a town of many thousand inhabitants in the heart of London which is to all intents and pur- poses missing to the rest of the world and if wanted cannot be found"

Red Men Love to Pose In GrotesQue Attire Before the Camera.
 As evidence of the extent to which the ornamental precedes the useful EI- plorer Humboldt noted the fact that the orinoco Indians in fair weather strutted about attired in all the finery they were able to procure, their faces painted gaudily, their heads decked with feathers, their whole aim being to strike astonishment to the beholder and no regard whatever had for com fort
 When the weather was bad, Hum- boldt found that the same men would doff their clothing and carry It about to save 1t for display on future sunny days.
 The same traits are seen today In the North American Indians, little modified by many years of intermingling with | civilization.
 That part of Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, running from Second to Sixth street Is the favorite promenade of visiting Indians. Portions of Sec ond and Third streets, running off the avenue, are filled with boarding houses especially patronized by the redskins and especially avoided by the whites in consequence.
 A number of photographers in the vi- cinity are the chief attractions of this neighborhood for the aborigines. Moth ing so delights them as to strut gravely from their boarding houses to these art galleries to sit for solemn pictures at Uncle Sans expense, the bill being charged in with necessaries incidental to a visit to the great father. To deprive the visiting Indian of the privilege to sit for his photograph in full paint and feathers and a grotesque mixture of cheap ready made garments with blankets and bear claws would be the greatest hardship possible to the chieftains.
 Showing the same disposition Hum boldt noted, the visitors get themselves up more barbarously the closer they get to civilization.-St. Louis Republic.

The wheel reversed, the boat tackled and grazed the opposite shore, which was already submerged.
