General Demand

cf the Well Informed Of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant snd
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
poncnt parts are known to them to bs
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
ccllcnt combination OF Syrup of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir OF SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine ne-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only. and for sale

EckLEs AND THE BIBLE.
Chicago Banker Known for Devout-
ness Of His Life.

James H. Eckles. who died suddenly
of heart disease at his home, in Chi
cago. a few days ago, was one of
the most devoutly religious men Of
large affairs in the country. He
scrupulously avoided ostentatious dis
play of his genuine piety, and only
his most intimate friends knew of his
deep religious convictions. Among
them was Grover Cleveland, who,
while governor of New York, dis
cerned this trait in Mr.. Eckles' char
acter when the latter was a student
of the Albany Law School. Mr.. Eckles
was not psalm singer or leader
of prayer meetings. etc. Seldom was
his name publicly connected with
church matters or religious move
ments, but 1t Is recalled by persons
in Washington who knew him well
when he lived here as comptroller of
the currency in the last Cleveland ad-
ministration, that he gave more liber-
ally OF his income to the cause of re-
ligion than any other man of their
acquaintance. 1t was his custom to
read one or more chapters of the
bible every night before retiring, II
made no difference how late the hour,
and on his outing trips he invariably
carried, tue ed away in his baggage,
copy of the sacred book. 1t is re-
lated that while always the jolliest
member of every outing party. Mr..
Eckles never failed to read the bible
in camp under sputtering light every
night as long as the trip lasted. He
and Mr.. Cleveland, the latter the soR
of a minister, used to have long dis.
cussions of the bible whenever Mr..
Eckles called at the White House at
night for private chat with the pres
ident.

His Opinion Of the Dinner.

The guests at a large dinner party
did ample justice to the tempting
viands as course after course was
served. They were loud in their
praises of the Chinese cook. of whom
the hostess was justly proud. They
declared they never ate more deli
cious or appetizing delicacies. Final
ly the Chinaman brought in the last
course, a huge cake heavy with
frosting. He was a converted Chi
naman. and desiring to honor his
religion he had put motto on the
cake that satisfied his conscience.

lA
Hard wood ashes are fine for the
hogs.
Impossible to get the poultry house
too clean
Clean out the feed racks each time
before refilling.
The hen is in peck of trouble when
she has nothing to peck.
The sheep pens should be dry and
well covered with litter.
Buckwheat is not as good as wheat
for hogs. Apt to make soft pork
A poor practice to water the swine
through the medium of thin swill.
The farmer is his own boss. Who
, is to blame when things go wrong?
Keep the hens busy scratching
these cold days. 1t will put the lay
ing spirit in them.
Skim milk will make pigs grow.
Used with ground feed it is the ideal
ration.
Have it arranged so that the stock
gets some chance for outdoor air and
exercise, except on the stormy days.
A half pound a day gain should be
showed by the pigs. Are yours do
ing it?
Disease flies before Gods blessed
sunshine, Give all of it you can to
the live stock and poultry.
Is the money which the farmer
gets for the corn he sells to the dis
tillery tainted?
Overhead hay racks are said to be
bad because they compel the horses
to inhale the dust
At the time of weaving the colt use
great care that the animal gets no
set back.
Home-cured and home-salted pork
tastes good most any time in the
year.
The snow bank is a poor range for
the poultry in winter and will not
put any egs in the farmers basket
Keep only as many fowls as you
have room for. Crowded poultry never
do we'll
A bone cutter will help secure the
winter eggs. Nothing like green bone
to make hens lay.
Look out for holes in the floor of
the hog pen. Hogs will gnaw and
sometimes get holes big enough to
get their leg into and break it.
If you economize in feed and check
the growth of the young stock, yours
has been false economy which you
will appreciate on market day
Use a bushel basket in carrying
straw to the pig pen, then you will
not leave an unsightly trail of straw
from barn to pen.
Whitewash the inside of the stable
twice a year. 1t will make the place
lighter and will sweeten up the atmos-
phere amazingly.
Wash the udders of COWS affected
with COW pox with warm soapy water
in which a few drops of carbolic acid
has been placed.
The judicious feeder is the man
who studies carefully his stock and
the respective results obtained by
the rations fed.
Make a study of those agricultural
problems which you met with during
the past season. Winter is profit
able season for the farmer if he
uses his time right.
There are millions of acres of waste
land throughout the country which
might profitably be planted to fruit
trees. Are you doing all you can with
your land?
Most dairy men think that prairie
hay of good quality is fully as valu-
able, If not more so, as feed for dairy
cows, as a good grade of timothy
hay.

In planting an orchard the soil fer
tility should determine to some ex-
tent the distance between the trees,
the rule being that the stronger the
land the greater the distance between
trees as the trees will attain greater
growth than they would in poorer soil
Twenty-eight by thirty-two or 2sx34 is
about right. Where desired filler of
sore early variety can be planted IN
between the trees the wider way.
The business of farming includes
three distinct departments: Produc-
ton, selling and purchasing. Farmers
must study their markets to deter

they must sell the product for the
highest possible price; and they must
buy their supplies for the lowest pos
sible figure. If they are to make
success of the business of farming.

ROMANCE

Romance, who loves to nod and sing,
With drowsy head and folded wing,
Among the green leaves as they shake
Far down within some shadowy lake.
To me painted paroquet
Hath been a mcst familiar bird
Taught me my alphabet to say
To lisp my very earliest word
While in the wildwood I did lie
A child with most knowing eye.
Of late, eternal candor years
So shake the yer Heaven on high
With tumult as they thunder by,
I have no time for idle cares
Though gazing on the unquiet sky;
And when an hour with calmer
wings
It's down upon my spirit filings
That little time with Tyre and rhyme
To while away-forbidden things I!
MY heart would feel to be crime
Unless it trembled with the strings.

The entire committee expressed

relief. The outward appearance OF
many of the buildings have been an
eyesore to the citizens, faculty and

the buildings are in need of sanitary
repairs and present more or less dilapi

Tawney's Statement.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Representa-
tive Tawney, chairman of the appro-.
prlatlon committee of the house of
Representatives, has reopened his
fight on the tobacco trust by reintro-
dsbcing a bill to impose a federal tax
'on the issuance of prize coupons; ae-.
companying packages of tobacco
Nearly every brand of cigars, .ciRa.-
cites, smoking and chewing tobac-
CO manufactured by the trust has
COUPONS FOR prizes attached which
greatly increase tine sale of their pro-
ducts.
"The object of this bill" said Nj.
Tawney, ''is not to raise revenue for
the government as it is to pat stssp
to the prize giving practice by whic,.
the tobacco trust is enabled TO elm
nate all competitors. I am going TO
press the measure purely in the inter
est of the independent tobacco manu-
facturers."
The prize giving practiced by the
trust rnanufa cturers is one of their
best trade getters. With possibly the
exception of those prejudiced against
non-snnion made goods (rnadc by the
trusts everybody purchasing tho
trust brands, saves the coupons and
get the prizes offered.
Representative of the trust will
make a vigorous fight against the
passage of the Tawney bill, which
gives the labor union forces an oppor4
trnity to strike at 'scab" made
goods.

SHE WALKS IN
BEAUTY LIKE THE NIGHT

She walks in beauty, like the night,
OF cloudless chimes and starry
skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Met in her aspect and her eyes,
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less
Had half impaired and naneless
grace,
Which waves in every raven tress
Or softly lightens DER her face,
Where thoughts serenely sweet ex-
press
How pure, how dear their dwelling
place.
And on that cheek and DER that brow,
So, soft, SO calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that
glow
But tell Of days in goodness spent
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent.

THE WOMAN AVENGER

1t is going we'll with the woman
avenger in the courts Mrs. Angelina
Ansoline, Of Chicago, who killed an
Italian because as she testified, rs
had slandered her, was acquitted The

long ago Mrs. Bradley was acquit-
ted in Washington, where she killed
a man who had grown weary of her
In Mississippi last year woman was
pardoned after having been convicted
by a jury of having killed a member
of congress who, as she averred, had
spoken slanderously Of her. Mrs.
Dora Mcdonald OF Chicago, who xiii
ed Webster Guerin because, as she al
1eges, he was attempting TO black
mail her, is now upon trial. She Will.
not plead insanity-a little respect IS
due to the defendant and her attur-
news for that-but will rely upon The
unwritten law She will no doubt be
acquitted. She is described as a rasi.-
er handsome woman. In crimina!

Jury is as sentimental as young
swain under the influence of the hag-
vest moon.
If the testimony of Mrs. Ansoline
was absolutely true, the man she kill
ed surely deserved the punishment
He had played Iago, and Othello, in
stead of killing Desdemona, had de-
serted her Whether the woman had
| a right TO seek revenge is another
question. But she was an Italian in-
migrant who knew little about the
| laws of this country. and who had
probably had little education in Italy.
| In the Bradley case there seems to
| be no ground for verdict of acquit-
tai, and executive clemency in the
Mississippi case seems misappl1ed.
If Webster Guerin attempted to
blackmail Mrs Mcdonald, other
means than the employment of re
volver might have been successful

The verdicts of sentimental juries
are rapidly establishing precedents
calculated TO give the woman avenger
every encouragement. Vengeance IS
mine, saith the Lord: | will repay"
But the jurors holds that Vengeance
is anybody's and that whoever repays
should be acquitted, notwithstanding
the provision of the written law TO
the contrary.
And if, perchance, the jurors con-
slider the law and the facts and the
sanctity Of their oath, rather than
the eyes, or the child, or the hat and
gown, bf the fair defendant, the sec
ond trial, the higher court. and chiv-
