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 it's 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 Fro 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,

ACrank ON Clothes.

Sir Harry Poland, a British magis-
trate noted for his brilliancy, was al
ways careless in his dress. Once his
family persuaded him to go to Poole
and order a fashionably cut suit. To
the chagrin of the household Sir Harry
looked more outlandish in the new
clothes than in his old ones. His broth
er-in-law went to see Poole about it.
"It is not my fault, SIR" the tailol
assured him. EVERY care was taken,
but how could we fit gentleman who
would insist upon being measured sit
ting DOWN.
And the only satisfaction that could
be obtained from Sir Harry Poland
himself later on was the dry comment:
''Well, it's my business and not yours.
like to be comfortable. l spend three
parts Of my life sitting down, and I
preferred to be measured So"

Nine Ta1lors Make . Man.

''Nine taitors make a man" grew out
Of the old custom Of bell ringing. The
ringing Of bells was formerly practiced
from a belief in their efficacy to drive
awayseYil spirits. The ''tailors" in the
above phrase Is corruption Of the
word s'tellers," or strokes tolled at the
end Of knell. In some places the de-
parture of an adult was announced by
nine strokes in succession. Six were
rung for q woman and three for child.
Hence it came to be said by those lis
tening for the announcement, mine
tellers make a man." AS this custom
became less general and the allusion
less generally understood there was an
easy transition from the word ''tellers"
to the more familiar one 'failors.'
That inevitable Joker, Curran, took
advantage of this popular saying to
poke fun in good natured way at his
hosts on the occasion of his being en-
tertained at dinner by IS Of the Guild
of Tailors. Curran on leaving rose and
said, Gentlemen, / wish you both
good evening""

An Execution In China.

The poor wretches were made to dig
a large square pit, and one by one they
were made. kneel at the edge with
their hands tied behind their backs. A
Japanese officer stepped forward and
with the ordinary service sword drew
1T back and forward over the poor
wretch's neck, and then with swift
blow it descended, cutting off the head.
The next one was as successful, and
then came a terrible spectacle. The Jap
anese officer, after wiping his sword,
drew the back to and fro over the
poor wretch's neck three or four times
before he struck the fatal blow. Down
came the blade on the apex Of the skuIl,
cutting about two inches into the neck.
The poor wretch fell into the pit, the
Japanese officer climbing down and
saving away at the neck until the head
was severed. The heads were immedi-
ate1y carried over to the main road and
strung up on poles as an object lesson
to the large number Of Chinese who
were congregated around with blanch-
ed faces.-Canadian Magazine.

How to Become Wealthy.

In a New Hampshire city there
dwells an octogenarian physician who
in addition to his wide medical skill is
known far and wide as a dispenser Of
blunt philosophy. The other day a
young man Of bis acquaintance called
at his Office.

DOCTOR" said the visitor, ''but for adj
vice. You have lived many years in
this world Of toll and trouble and have
had much experience. 1 am young, and
/ want you to tell me how to get rich"
The aged practitioner gazed through
his glasses at the young man and in a
deliberate tone said:

and can accomplish your object If you
will. Your plan is this: First, be indus
trious and economical. Save as much

you follow out these instructions, by

rich as Cresus and as mean as hades."

me Noise Habit. :,

The Naw, Yorker contracts In time
what may be called the noise habit.
Noise with him becomes dissipation.
His nervous system demands it. This
is illustrated by the sensations he ex-
periences when he goes into the woods
or mountains after a continuous stay
in the city for many months. His first
feeling is one of loneliness; something
seems to have suddenly gone out OF his
life. Every tree seems to say, "Why
have you been SO hot and noisy, my lit
tie sirp' His sensations are somewhat
akin to those of a drunkard who has
been under alcoholic stimulation for a
long time and, suddenly has his .drinH
taken from him. His whole nervous
system feels the lack of the irritation
and stimulation of the city noise, to
which, 1t has become accustomed. TIKI
stiffness actually appals and depreSsea
him. .r.. r.
The streets Of New York are deep,
narrow channels, and they are growing
constantly deeper as the buildings in
crease in height. These large reflect
ing surfaces on three sides Of him
make tie condition Of the man in the
street like that of the workman who
suffers from reflected noise while he
hammers rivets on the inside Of a boil
er.-Munsey's Magazine.

Four and It's Multiple Of Ten,

The number four was anciently es-
teemed the most perfect Of all, being
the arithmetical mean between one and
seven. Oman, the second caliph, said,
'Four things come not back-the spo-
ken word, the sped arrow, the past life,
the neglected opportunity" In nature
there are four seasons, and the four
points Of the compass. EG
Forty, a multiple Of four by ten, is
one Of the sacred numbers. The pro-
baton Of our first parents in the garden
Of Eden is supposed to have been 40
years. The rain fell at the deluge 40
days and nights, and the water re-
manned on the earth 20 days. The
days of embalming the dead were 40.
Solomon's temple was 40 cubits long.
In it were ten LAYERS, each four cubits
long and containing 40 baths.
Moses was 40 years old when he ded
into the land Of indian, where he
dwelt 40 years. He was on Mount
Sinai 40 days and 40 nights. The Is
raeEites wandered in the wilderness 40
years. The Saviour tasted 40 days and
nights before entering upon public hfe.'
The same time elapsed between the
resurrection and the ascension.

The Promenade stopped.


It is related Of Captain Deering that
once when he was in command Of a
steamer running from Portland to ST
John, he was unable to sleep on ac-
count Of the ceaseless tramp, tramp of
some star gazing passenger on the hur-
ricane deck overhead. After turning
and twisting in his berth for half an
hour, and the trampfng still continuing,
Captain Deering, enraged at the loss Of
his sleep. rushed out in his nightshirt
and climbed the ladder to the hurricane
deck.
The promenadtng passenger was
frightened half out Of his wits by tie
specter in white climbing up the lad
der, but was somewhat treasured when
the specter bawled out:
''Say, you; where are you goingP
'To st. John" replied the promenad-
er.
'Got a ticketY' pursued the ghost.
"Of course 1 have"
"WeL, then, you COMPOUNDED fool, go
and Lie down somewhere you needn't
walk all the way to ST john" roared
the enraged Deering, and the prone
nader stopped right there.-Baltimore

What we MOST Remember.

Memory is for the most part "a trivial
fond record" Of the affairs Of everyday
life, and our intense desire not to lose
the remembrance of these unimportant
everyday matters is one Of the greatest
testimonies to the predominance Of
happiness over unhappiness in the
world. Do we not feel sorry from our
hearts for any one who has lost such
an infinitely precious possession with
out even wondering whether or no
there was anything in their past lives
worth recollecting? After all, how few
are the hours which any of us would
blot out Of our lives! Those perhaps
during which we. have witnessed or
suffered acute physical or mental pain,
the moment when we engendered the
worm Of remorse which dieth not or
those few minutes Of humiliation
which, whether we trace them to fault
or fate, remain in our minds to "Yex
us like a thing that is raw" But how
small is the part we would have taken
away compared to the part we would
retainALondon Spectator.

TAuaid ADplauOSs

During the earlier days OF the reign
OF Queen Victoria dramatic perforu1-
ances were given at Windsor castle up
der the management Of Charles Kean.
The audiences being limited and stiff
ly aristocratic, the applause was natu.
rally not especially hearty, and the
comedians felt the absence Of the more
demonstrative approval manifested in
the regular theater.
One evening the queen sent an equer-
~ to Mr.. Kean to know If the actors
would like anything (meaning refresh
ments). when the actor replied. "Say to
her majesty that we should be grateful
for a little applause when the specta-
tors are pleased"
Back went the eQuerry and conveyed
the message. At the end OF the act
there was slight suggestion Of hand
clapping and exceedingly gentle foot
tapping. James Wallack, who knew
nothing Of the message sent to the
queen, hearing the mild demonstration,
'pricked up his ears and inquired,
"What is that?"
Mr.. Kean replied, "That, my dear
Wallack, is applause"
"God bless mel" retorted GVallack. II

Recipes For Happtness.

Happiness is not to be procured like
hard bake in solid lump. 1t is COM
posed of innumerable small items. The
recipes for it's acquisition are simple,
and therefore we ignore them. Love
in marriage, fidelity in friendship, af-
lection between parent and children,
courtesy in intercourse, devotion to
duty and perfect sincerity in every re-
lation Of life-those are the ingredients
of happy life. In the quest for hap
piness one could not do better than put
into practice the precepts Of the great
Persian: Taking the first step with
the good thought, the second step with
the good word and the third step with
the good deed, entered PARADISE

No northern people are harder OF

with their clear compilations and dark
blue eyes. In spite Of their harsh eli
mate they have the most healthful liv-

races and keep equal degrees Of ro-
nance, daring and good feeling in their
natures. You. do not find imagination:
force and adventure in a race without
coarse. plenteous fare, pure air and
cleanliness.
