ABOUT PUBLIC UNTIDINESS. A mcrlcii ti SlrcetN Dirt)', SIiUmviiIUi KoitKh anil 1'iirliN ltt-K' The average American Is pretty wel satisfied with his own country and peo pie. However small his knowledge o) foreign lands, he has always at leas' until recent years been noted for hh confident assurance that his own lan is the best that the sun shines on. lit has been wont to look upon the ol world as "effete" and to resent crltl clsm of American ways ; retorting usu ally uixm such criticism by shlftlni the Issue to something on which lu, could advance a tu quoquc to the advo cate of the British or German or Italian example. This provincial com placency has, however, received many rude shocks of late years and tends to disappear through larger contact with the world about us. Wider hori zons are already beginning to broaden our views of our own institutions and we are occasionally subjected to searchlngs of heart which are no doubt good for our souls. Amid the varied shocks which our national self-satisfaction is bound to receive In the process of our gradua tion from insularity to world power, there Is one preparation which may come as a surprise, oven to well-educated Americans, although Its cause has long been a matter of painful con sciousness to Individuals, especially to Americans who have traveled abroad. We are slowly learning that wo are tho most untidy among all tho great na tions of tho world. Wo are gradually awakening to the humiliating embar rassment of one who, entering a com pany of his fellow men, discovers that he alone among them Is shabby and unkempt and that he has entirely fail ed to apprehend the Ideas of dress and the standards of personal appearance that prevail among those whose com pany he Is to frequent. The discovery that there Is more of filth, squalor and general slovenliness in public places and '-' vks, lu streets, Bquares, river sides, docks, quays, roads and bridges In the United States than In any other country of the first or even second rank Is a humbling but salutary experience. In what may be called our public housekeeping, in tho outward appearance and maintenance of places and works administered by public or semi-public enterprise, we rank with Turkey rather than with England or Germany. Oriental Japan, tiny Switzerland and slow-going Hol land stand far ahead of the United States In this respect. Our national slovenliness Is seen In dirty streets and uuslghtly water fronts ; In Ill-kept squares, ragged side walks and abominable pavements; in shabby railway stations and embank ment walls built up of rotting sleepers ; and m a thousand shiftless substitutes for solid permanent works. The un speakable country roads which abound In so many regions not only Illustrate the existence, but also demonstrate the folly of this seml-barbnrous slack ness of administration, for they consti tute the most costly means of trans portation possible, Impose a heavy tax on every farmer and other residents, and are a clog upon the general pros perity of the regions they traverse. Tidiness and the efficient nmlntenanco of public works cost more In the first outlay than negligence, but they save tills excess many times over in the end. Dirt has been defined as "matter out of place"; disorder as "things out of place." When both "matter" and "things" are out of plnce we have In the combination of dirt and disorder one of the commonest manifestations of untidiness. Now, untidiness Is the unfailing concomitant of wastefulness and we are a notoriously wasteful peo ple. We possess abundance of energy, but perhaps little thrift, says A. D. F. Hamlin In tho Forum. Tidiness, like thrift, requires attention to details; wastefulness scorns details. Rut un tidiness is also often, and largely, dur to Ignorance, and is thus amenable to the corrective Intluence of education. fironl Scheme, Cyrus--1 hear Haul: Crawfoot lh making barrels of money hiring out 1 opera glasses.

FAMILY'S FAVORITE MEDICINE I wWf,, CANDY CATHARTICT 1 BEST FOR THE BOWELS HMMMMMMNMMlHMMMMHn There are two classes of remedies; those of known qual ity and which aro permanently beneficial in ofiect, acting gently, in harmony witli nature, when nature needs assist ance; ami another class, composed of preparations cf unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo rarily, hut injuriously, as a result of forcing tho natural functions unnecessarily. One of Ihe most oxceptio ..1 of the remedies of known quality and e.xcelleiico is tho ever pleasont Syrup of Figs, manufactured by tho California Fig Syrup Co., which represents tho active principles of plants, known to uct most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which tho wholesome Californian biuo figs aro used to con tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is tho remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanso tiio system gently and naturally, and to assist ono in overcoming consti pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi ples and quality aro known to physicians generally, and tho remedy has therefore met witli their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience hat it is a most excellent laxativo remedy. Wo do net claim tliat will euro all manner of ills, but recommend It for -what it really presents, a laxativo remedy of known qualily and exccllcuco, itainiiig nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. Thcro aro two classes of purchasers; tlioso who aro informed as to tho quality of what they buy and tho reasons for tho exccllcuco of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack conrago to go elsewhere when a dealer ofl'ers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, thero aro some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to bo imposed upon. They cannot expect its benoflcial effects If they do not get tho genuine remedy. To tho credit of tho druggists of tho United States bo it said that nearly all of tiism value their imputation for professional integrity and tho good will of their imitations of tho Genuiii'e Syrup of Figs manufactured by tho California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy th3 geuuiuo articlo u.tu to get its beneficial effects, ono has ouly to note, when purchasing, tho full nanio of tho Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on tho front of ovory package.
