When twentieth Century Began.

When Twentieth Century Began.
The twentieth century began on the
first day Of January, 1901. In com.
mon usage the first century means the
years A. D. loo; the second cen.
fury the years A. D. 1Ol-2OO; and
the nineteenth century the years A. D.
lSO1-l9OO. The fifth century before
Christ was 506-t6f B. c. A century
begins with the beginning Of the first
day in It's first year. and does not end
until the close OF the last In its hun.
dredth year. This mode OF reckoning
Is often confused with the common
mode Of stating the age Of person.
A person born at the beginning OF the
Christian era would. be called one
year old during his second year, that
Is during the course Of the year two:
he would be called two during the
years three. alb forty during the year

MADAM! IF YOU DON'T FEEL RIGHT
 TAKE DELICIOUS SYRUP OF FIGS"
Waste clogged Bowels Torpid Liver and Decayng Food in Stomach Cause the Sick Headache, Gas, Back
 ache, sallowness, Biliousneas and Indigestion

All women get bilious, headachy and constipated-sinap1y because they don't exercise enough. They don't eat coarse food, or enough fruit and green vegetables. Those are natures ways of keeping the liver and thirty feet of bowels active; but very few women employ them. The next best way is delightful, fruity Syrup of Figs.
 Nearly all ills of women can be overcome with Syrup of Figs alone. There is no need to have sick head ache, baekache, dizziness, stomach sour and full of gases, bilious spells, sa11owness, coated tongue, bad breath, bad complexion, nervousness and de- preston. The surest and safest rem edy is one or two teaspoonfuls of de- Hcious Syrup of Figs. Try this to- night-you'11 feel splendid in the morning when the sour bile, clogged

 Our continent has monopoly of humming birds. the gems of tine feath- cred creation Of these there are said to be as many as 400 species. most of which confne themselves to the tropi- cal regions,
 Only eighteen varieties live farther north than Mexico. 1t is generally thought that humming birds live upon honey Tilis. however. is q mistake. They do deFogIr some honey. it is true. but most of their food consists of inc small inses.tS which inhab-t certain flowers.
 The little bird is therefore useful as well as beautiful and has been called a flower fo which God has granted wings
 Running birds are so small that when they are caifured for commercial purposes ii is impossible to nse even the smallest shot for fear of iniuTing their skins. They are thersfore stunned with Il drop of water fron a biowgUn or syringe and fall into a net, when they are quickly poisoned.
