An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the we'll known remedy, SYRUP OF FIGs, 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. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa- tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and levers 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 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. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP co.

Schooner Theoline Dismasted.

New YORK, July 10. The steamer Sara
tOga, Capt. johnson, which arrived this
morning from Cuba, reports on July - in
lat. Sc 20, lon "a. 10 at 1850 A. NJ. falling in
with the dismasted schooner Theoline Of
Boston, bound from Brunswick for Boston,
lumber laden. The Saratoga lowered a
boat and on getting alongside learned from
Captain Francis that the schooner ran into
a hurricane on July 10th, in which the YES
sci lost all her spars level with the deck.
Her deckload washed away and the vessel
was full of water. Capt. Francis wished to
be lowed to port, but as the schooner's bows
were stove in and her butts started it was
found impossible to make line fast. Capt.
Francis refused to abandon his vessel, hop
ing to make the nearest port At this time
Cape Henry was about 80 miles distant.
The Saratoga supplied the vessel with pro-
visions sufficient to last the crew of seven
men for several days. Capt. johnson
thought the TheOline would be picked up by
some passing steamer and lowed to Norfolk,
the nearest port. The Theoline is a new
vessel built at Belfast, Me-, in 1900. She
registers Al tons and halls from Boston.
The TheOline was tOwed into New York
Monday by the steamer Matanzas from
Tampico and Havana.

Even in these advanced days of pharmacy
some of our good people still cling to our
grandmothers way of gathering herbs each
year to make the famous 'yarb-tea" that
was considered cure-all for every known
disease One of our respected townsmen
gathered quantity and had it very artistic
ally hung on the clothes-dryer in large
punches. A lady calling there asked him
what it was, and hesaid ''catnip," and went
on to explain how she had always had a
great interest in the study of all kinds of
herbs and wild flowers and could tell the
names of them at sight" When his wife
came to investigate she found it was tansy.
We draw the curtain on the good mans
wounded pride, but any one wishing further
particulars can inquire of James Grover.

The Shoe Situation.


Improvement is general in the footwear
industry, although no higher prices can be
obtained Local factories that have been
resumed, and shops that were running part
time, are now fully occupied New England
makers have fall contracts assuring activity
until the middle of September. Spring sam
pies are shown by travelling men, but little
business is done in these lines. The market
for split goods is firmer in tone and advances
are expected, while mems satin shoes are in
better request. Jobbers have light stocks
of summer goods which retailers should
exhaust before the season ends. Leather
is in good demand and firm, but without
quotable change in price. Western manu-
facturers have bought glazed kid in the
local market and also taken freely of other
upper leather The large buyers Of dry hides
withdrew from the market owing to the
prices demanded by importers, and trading
became dull. Slaughter hides at Chicago are
still firm and at the best prices of the sea-
son.-Dun's Review.

'erd with most pleasing effect. The
fn; hall was deliberately trimmed with
ir'os and large clusters of pinks. The front
i"lr was in green and light pink, the
back parlor in darker pink and green

I1omy stable, reached from the main floor
OIL the house, was converted into a fine

ilg and evergreen, while couches, easy
