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 DO
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 fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUD-
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 fsgs
are used, as they are pleasant to ths
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIa 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.

Ns Learning for Learning's Sake ip
 China.
 The California Schoolmasters' Club banqueted at the California Hotel last evening about fifty members being present, says the San Francisco Call. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of the California University, acted as toast master, and the feature of the evening was the address by Prof John Fryer of the University of California, who spoke on Chinese Education" Prof. Fryer spent twenty-six years in the Orient, of attention to the study of Chinas 8 educational system. Prof. Fryer has a good deal to say in it's support. The ancient form Is still followed to con. siderable extent. Chinese education, he said, may well be regarded as one of the greatest lights of Asia, if not tho greatest It's influence upon the gov ernment is wonderful. The sole ob- sect of Chinese education Is to pre- pare candidates for examination for positions of official rank. There is no learning for learning's sake. Every scholar who studies does so with one end in view-that of attaining posi- tion of official or political rank. The fact that China has been the largest empire for the longest period of years is due very largely to the ccuntry's pe- cuiiar form of education.

TRADE IN ANIMALS
Pets Are Not Wanted by the Public ib
 Times of War.


 Times of War
 Animal fanciers are bewailing the fact that pet beasts have not been sought by fashionable women since tha war began. Pet animals are not want ed in time of war" said Jamrach, the famous anima! dealer of St. Georges East, to an Express representative. People have far more serious things to think about and spend their money upon. But when We have days of peace and plenty animal fanciers have all their time and energies engaged in finding rare and unique pets for the moneyed classes. 1 only deal ID rare animals, but I never remember Sime when I sold fewer than I have during the last twelve months" A pretty lit- tie fawn-colored beast gazed patheti- cally from between the bars of cage and then licked the fanc!ers fingers. Shouldn't have had you so long but for the war, should I, old boy? He is fennec from Sahara, the only one of his kind in England" explained his master. He would make an excellent pet for a lady; he is as faithful as dog and most domesticated. Eighteen months ago l should not have kept him for week, Now no buyer comes. One of my customers who was most keen to buy any rare pet might come across has not been near me for weeks. Her son was in the c. I. " and taken prisoner. The news quite took the heart out of her and she cared no more for pets. And it is exactly the same with dozens of other ladies with hus, bands and brothers in South Africa; they care no more for a rare animal than for common tabby eat"--Lon- dor Express.

Clare cherished cordial dislike for Curran. and in order to show his contempt for that gentleman affected to pay no at tention to the argument and devoted himself to fondling a mastiff, which he had brought with him to court. Pres ently he stopped down ostentatiously to pat the dog Instantly Curran stopped speaking Go on, Mr Cur ran" T beg your lordship's pardon. <" replied Curran, "I though you were engaged in consultation. /"

congress at Boise next month will nn- occasionally present q memorial to the national congreos praying for the es- tablishment of thls department, and will at the same time appoint d com mittee to work to that end. Tho de- mand for the segregation of the mineral industry from the department now in control of it has become imperative, and We b. leye that this work os the convention will succeed. Another mat ter that will re5:ive attention in the deliberations of the cons ress will be .he revic'on oc the mining laws of the United Statea, the principal points of which will be a right to cut timber from any mining claim, for use in any mine contiguous to the property from which the timber Is removed, the ques- ton of apex rights, number of loca- tlons that can be made by any one per son and the amount of assessment work that will have to ba dohe. These meas ure., gre such as naturally present themselves as being worthy of consid- eration by the congress, and there are. no doubt, others of equal importance that will occur to the members.
