Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent 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

STRUGGLE WITH A TIGER.

Two brothers, Khuda Bakhs and
Shaikh Abdul Ghani, of Moradabad,
were despatched recently to Rampur
on an errand, and while entering a
grove at Khadpura ! tiger sprang
upon Khuda Bakhs, who, being an
athlete, warded off the blow aimed
at him with his right hand and
caught one of the paws with the other
and maintained his hold, though the
tiger was mauling the other hand.
Abdul Ghani now rushed up with a
stout stick, which he forced down the
tigers throat, making it release his
brothers hand, when Khuda Bakhs
seized another paw with his wounded
hand, forcing both the paws back.
He wrestled with the tiger, keeping it
down by sheer force, while Abdul
Ghani belabored it with his lathi and
killed it.
The tiger was carried by the broth
ers to His Highness the Nawab of
Rampur, who kept the skin as a me-
mento and sent Khuda Bakhs to the
State dispensary for treatment. in

Pictures by Wireless.

While the transmission of pictures
by wire has reached high degree of
perfection in the process of Prof.
Korn, which depends upon the vary
ing electric resistance of the selenium
cell under changing light, the send
ing of photographs and drawings by
wireless telegraphy is in an incipient
stage. In the method of H. Knudsen,
the photograph has its dark parts
brought into relief by busting the
usual negative with some powder,
like iron filings, which adheres only
to the dense portions. The transmit
ting apparatus consists essentially of
a clockwork driven carriage, which
moves a style backward and forward
until it touches every part Of the pic
ture once, and as the raised surface
Is met the style is pushed up slightly,
thus closing the grip in relay cir
cult. The relay current causes an
induction coil to transmit an electric
wave. The receiver is a similar in
strument in which the style, normally
raised, is depressed, whenever the
electric wave acts upon the coherer,
and thus closes suitable circuit.
Perfect synchorizing is ensured by
causing the wave from the transmit
ter to start the carriage of the re-

An Automatic Money Assorter.

A machine has just been invented
in Prague for asserting coins. The
inventor claims that it will assort
metal coins which have been thrown
together, regardless of their denomin-
ations, placing each denomination in
a separate basket. The various coins
are thrown unfortunately into a
funnel at the top of the machine, and
from the funnel they slide downward,
alighting on a spi rartalcklitvGI tst,
alighting on spiral track. This track
has a protecting edge or raised bor-
der containing Sits corresponding to
the various sizes of the coins. AS the
coins of various denominations glide
downward on to the track, through
some peculiar mechanism Of the ma
chine they pass through the Sits cor
responding to, their various sizes, en-
tering their respective baskets at the
bottom of the machine. 1t is said that
several firms handling large amounts
Of coin daily have tried the. machine
with satisfactory results.
The same principle is not unknown
in Florida and California, where it is
adopted for sizing oranges.-Harper' S

WISE WORDS.

An optimist is one who keeps alive
the Joy derived from common things.
We should not be with wicked
men as their companions, but as their
physicians.
Religion may become an escape
from duty, rather than its inspiration
and fulfillment.
The trouble with many uplifters is
that they love their notions more
than the people.
1T abideth alone" explains away
some lives. They have never learned
the law of service.
Virtue, like health, is usually un-
conscious of itself.
The best way to save time is to
lose some of it in prayer.
It's easy making light of sorrow
when it's not our own.
The church will have trouble in
drawing men so long as it thinks
more of drawing them than of help
ing them.
Success is not in making mistakes,
but in making the most of them.
The saddest people are those who
are trying to pump happiness out of
the cisterns of amusement.
An ignorant mans practice of piety
does more good than the most learned
mans philosophy of religion.
He is proficient in self-denial who
can silence the mean things he had
thought of saying of another.
Nature provides that if we make
life a dream of pleasure we shall
awaken by stubbing the toe on a
pain.
Some think that when they've
rounded off the corners of rottenness
they've polished impurity into
purity.
When you go out in another's wis
dom dressed, be sure that truth will
blow and you will stand fool con-
tessed. Herald.

Ozone Ventilation,

A new idea in ventilation seems to
have given excellent results in the
Royal theater at Stuttgart, at low
cost and without draft or the usual
heating OF fresh air supply. Within
few minutes the air of the entire
building is purified by means of a sup
ply of ozone. A small electromotor and
a transformer convert continuous
current into an alternating current of
the necessary tension and another
motor and an air blower force the air
through the field of electric discharge,
where the oxygen is converted to
ozone.
