viii Try to Swim Channel.

Miss Lillian Smith, captain Of the
Ladies' Perseverance Swimming club
of England, has just declared her in
tention of trying to swim the English
channel during the present season.
Though she is only 18, she has already
performed some remarkable feats as
a swimmer She accompanied Jabez
Wolfe in one of his attempts to swim
the channel and remained in the water
Az hours. She is not the first woman
to make the attempt. Last year An
nette Kellerman of Australia made a
valiant effort to reach Calais. but failed.

Likes Bibles Bound in coIors.

Why should our Bibles always be
bound in black? was very pertinent
question put by Bishop Tugwell, fresh
from his field of labor in western equa-
torial Africa, at meeting in connec-
tion with the Religious Tract society's
one hundred and ninth anniversary.
The bishop viewed with satisfaction
the many Bibles and prayer books of
the society bound in bright red cloth,
instead of the hitherto invariable
black, color which is mostly associ-
ated with what is melancholy. Bishop
Tugwell would no doubt appreciate the
brighter and more attractive colors for
his heather converts more especially.
One is reminded of this in connection
with the almost extinct black gown, to
which objection has been taken for the
same reason, the donning of which by
the parson before delivering his SER
mon savored so much of the judges
putting on the black cap before pro-
nouncing the death sentence, whereas
the gospel message is one of peace
and life.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Tr1Ifb and
Quality

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk Of life and are essential to permanent
success and crcditable standing, Accor-
ngly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debiltating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

CURIOUS CUSTOMS IN HOTELS.
Where Every cuss Word Costs a Pen.
ny-DriS.k for Church Attendants.

A curious custom prevails at an
Edinburgh hotel. Whenever a custom.
er is heard to swear he is required
TO place a penny In box on the bar
counter. 1t is not a matter for sur.
prise that the landlord hears much
less bad language than some of his
fellow publicans in the capital OF
Scotland.
The following is a quaint idea for
providing funds for picnics and social
evenings. 1t is carried on with much
success at an Ashton.on-Me inn.
A knocking club" is connected with
the inn, and when customer calls for
refreshments he is expected to knock
on the table or counter before drink.
ing. II he fails to do this he is fined
one penny. Any one who wrongfully
accuses another of breaking this
unique rule is also fined. The money
thus obtained provides funds for many
enjoyable outings and pleasant eve
nings during the course of the year.
AT another hotel, known as the Old
Hundred, customers are allowed only
one drink. II one is not sufficient to
quench their thirst they are obliged
to go out of the hotel and take walk
before they are allowed to have an
other.
TIL recently the proprietor of an old
time hotel in Warwickshire used to
invite all his customers to accompany
him and his wife to the service at the
parish church on Sunday mornings,
which was situated ON the opposite
side of the road, the house being
closed while they were away. On re.
turning each customer was invited to
partake of refreshments offered by
the hospitable landlord free of charge.
Visitors to certain hotel in Aber-
deenshire who wear brown boots must
remember to keep them in their room
overnight. Otherwise the boots will
be blacked, regardless of the original
color of the same. In one of the rooms
of Dumfries public house is an old
armchair which is said to have been
frequently used by the poet Burns.
All who sit in this chair are expected
to treat every one who is in the room
at the time, and often the immortal
memory of the famous Scottish nation
al poet is drunk. r
A small hotel in Wales until quite
recently was used by the Catholics
as place of worship on Sundays, and
police court proceedings were held on
the premises during the week.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.
