General Demand

of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
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
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

The article in the State yesterday
telling of the suspected hunt for a
"pot' Of gold, started many reminis-
ceaces. There have been score Of
such hunts for buried treasure. Soma
times the search is inspired by a di-
vination conceived in dreams. One
man in the lower part Of this coun-
ty dreamed that between three stumps
he would find buried treasure. The
man found three stumps which cor
responded with his dream--and then
ho went TO work. It is said that he
dug out every foot Of earth included
in the lines embracing the stumps
and perhaps went down until he
struck water, aad-but what's the
use to tell The result.
"Onca upon q time,' as the story
goes, treasure was buried in the
woods where now is thc warehouse Of

and field men than the announcement Of
the new departure of the Mutual Bcpeft

praise is given the Mutual Benefit Life

THE GREEN SUN.
II Was Noticed and Commented Upon
by the Ancient Egyptians.


The appearance Of a green light at
sunset was noticed and commented
upon by the ancient Egyptians and
more particularly 80 because in the
clear air Of Egypt the tints Of sunset
are peculiarly distinct
As the sun there descends nearer
and nearer to the horizon and Is i'm
mensely enlarged and flaming, it sud
denly becomes for an instant bril-
liantly green color. and Immediately a
series Of green rays suffuses the sky in
many directions. well nigh TO the re-
NTH The same phenomenon appears at
sunrise. but to a smaller extent. Some
times, just as the last part OF the suns
disk vanishes, its color changes from
green to blue and 80 also after it has
disappeared the sky near the horizon
often rs green. while toward the zenith
it is blue.
This was alluded to in Egyptian
writings. Day was the emblem of life
and night that OF death. and the noe
turnal sun. being identified with Osiris
thus rendered Osiris king of the dead
The setting sun was green; therefore
Osiris. as the nocturnal deity Of the
dead. was painted green. The splendid
collins OF the high priests Of Ammon
frequently depict the green sun and
the funeral deities are all eolored
green.
There are innumerable instances in
the Egyptian relics of representations
relative to death being colored green
The practice undoubtedly arose from
the green tints of sunrise and sunset
