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
themin 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 coldl 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 a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

LYDDlTE A BOOMERANG.
Explosive Is Liable to Fly Back and
Say the Slayer.

Sidy the slayer.
London, March 15.-The extraordi-
nary effect of lyddite has been reveal
ed by the statement that during the
recent experiments with the hulk of
an old battleship Belle Isle shells con.
tanning that explosive refracted frag-
ments upon the attacking vessels,
which were 800 yards distant. Other
fragments dropped close to a gunboat
situated 1000 yards abeam of the line
of fire. The deduction drawn is that
when lyddite is used there is danger
for a friendly vessel at least 1000
yards away.
The Outlook compares lyddites with
a boomerang. 1t may fly back and
slay the slayer.

the trunk of an oak tree. 1t is 46 feet

Washington, March Ex-senator
Clay, reporting the minority of the

presented the report in opposition to

The points have been covered in

deny the accuracy Of both the pradic-
tions and the facts in the majority

wrong i'll principle and declare that it
will utterly fail in the accomplishment
of it's professed objects. They also say
that while it is not so complicated as
the subsidy bill Of the fifty-sixth-con-
gress, it is in some respects more OBJ
jectionable
THE bill proposes to tax the whole
people to the extent of several mil
lions for the benefit Of one single in

last few years prove that the ship

special assistance, but is rapidly in

mails and say:
The highest rate Of subsidy is Civ
en- to 20-knot vessels, while the rate
for the fast ocean mail steamers, %
and "a knots, already too high, is
made immensely higher. We pay for
a weekly service more than England
pays for a senli-weekIy service by
faster ships than ours"
Encourages Shipping Trust.
They further urge that the bill
makes no provisions against a shipping
trust and claim that it encourages a
combination leading to such a trust.
They also say:
THE lines might also merge with
foreign lines to control freight and
passenger rates. Thereby our subsidy
will be aiding the foreign partners of
our subsidized vessels"
The report closes by saying:
I'VE know that there are hundreds
and thousands of industries in our
country doing a losing business, but we
deny that congress for this reason can
go into the public treasury and save
them from bankruptcy. We sympa-
thize with all men in the hard strug
giles of life, but it is not the duty of
our government to interfere in the pri-
vate business affairs of the citizens.
We believe that all men should have
an equal and fair chance in the race
for wealth and happiness-every citi-
zen should bear his share of the bur
dens Of the government; one class
should never be the recipient of bene-
fits not given to others Absolute
equality of rights is doctrine we
should never abandon The bill is
wrong in principle, unjust, vicious,
