MALMAISON RESTORED.

Malmaison, the old chateau near Par IS once occupied by the frsR Napoleon and his discarded wife, Josephine de B'auharnais, has now been completely restored, thanks to the munifcence of M. Osiris. The residence was badly damaged during the German invasion, and also during the commune of 1871. For years it was in a dilapidated con- dition, but the restorers have done their work well. The grand salon, dec orated long ago by Percier and Fon- taine. has been successfully treated by M Jambon, who obtained many valu- able hirts from an old water color drawing of the room in the possession or one of Fontaine's descendants. M. Osiris has given over MalmaisVn to the estate, which will have to provide the furniture and hangings, and to turn the palace into a museum of Ma poleonic relics. s.--London Telegraph.

THE GENTLE FILIPINO.

I've chased thu willy Apache through
 his God-forsaken land, I've tracked the daring horse thief
 where his footprints marked the
 sand,
 I've eummered with the robbers down at Coney by the sea, But thu gentle Filipino, say, he beats
 taem all for me- He beats them all for mo, son, the
 whols immortal lot In his slushy, mushy country, where
 the climates good and hor; I've track tAe rtd ani ye low and I've
 tracked the wild and tame, But the gentle Filipino is high low,
 jack and game. With his timid l'.tle manner and his
 sweet and loving smile. And his eas? way of swtaring that he
 loves you all the while, With Q white flag on his shanty, hang
 ing out t5 catch your eye, And his lirtle rifle ready to plunk you
 by and by. For to plunk you by and by, boy, to
 shoot you in the back, And to skip away as swiftly as a spr!n-
 ter down the track, To come sround when they plant you,
 just to drop little tear. For the gentle Filipino Is a tender
 hearted dear He's as playful as a kitten, and his
 pastlme. as 2 rule, Is to shoot the flag of truce man as a
 sort of April fool; And if he can find a trCe-top, and get
 up there with his gun. And pick off the lads that's wounded

 and grntle play. But I know that he's an angel. pure
 and white as ocean foam, Cause I read it in the papers that they

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the we'll known remedy, SYRUP or FIas, manufactured by. the CALIFORNIA Flo 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 tho taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa- tive, cleansing the system etfectually, dispelling colds, headaches and fcvers 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 arc obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by method known to the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co. only.

"SEVEN GABLES" BURNED.
Fortunate Escape of Mr.. and Mrs.
Raymond and Family.

A fire which totally destroyed the
large residence of George b. Raymond,
Raymond Lane, Morris Plains, occurred
early Wednesday morning.
AT about five o'clock the family were
aroused by the continued ringing of the
telephone bell, and on going to answer it
Mrs. Raymond discovered the rooms
completely filled with smoke. With
great presence of mind she telephoned
for Resolute Truck Company, which i'm
Hmediately responded, with the driver,
his assistant, and but one member, John
Bennett, of the United States Hotel.
Upon arriving at the place, Mr.. Ben
nett discovered that the extinguishers
would be of little use. and telephoned to
Chief Fox and asked that Independent
Hose Company be sent to their assist
ance. They arrived about six o'clock
with three men ION board" Robert D.
Foote, Frank Pierson and Cadwalader
Howell, but for lack of water on the
premises or in the vicinity they could do
almost nothing, A picture of Mr.. Ray
mond and a few books were all that
were saved.
The singular way in which the alarm
was given probably saved the lives of
the occupants. The fire is supposed to
have originated from the furnace, and
had gained such headway that the insu-
lation was burned from the telephone and
electric light cords, and the crossing of
two of the exposed wires caused the bell
to ring and awaken the family. A son
who was seriously i'll with typhoid pneu-
monia was removed to the residence of
Byron Sherman.
Mr.. Raymond and his family are now
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Elliot
Smith, on Maple avenue.
