The petroleum habit is said to be assuming alarming proportions in Par is and the medical societies demand of the authorities immediate steps for its abatement. Some have as cribed this habit to the increase of the alcohol tax. but an investigation of the vice shows that it was prevalent long before alcohol tax was imposed, and that it has been growing all the time. Physicians do not agree as to all the effects produced by it, but they do agree as to its general harmfulness. It is said not to make the victim brutal, but stupid, despondent and morose. That in France, the land of cheap and good wines, men Bhould take to drinking petroleum as a bev erage is passing strange, not to say, incomprehensible. Sour Grapes. The elder Dumas once was wearing the ribbon of a certain order, having recently been made a commandant, and an envious friend remarked upon it. “My dear fellow,” he said, “that cordon is a wretched color! One would think it was your woolen vast that was showing!” “Oh, no, my dear d'E-,” replied Dumas with a smile, “you’re mistaken. It’s not a bad color; it is exactly the shade of the sour grapes in the fable.” Few Old l«en Can Say This. Lakefleld, Minn., Feb. 2d.—Wm. R Gentry of this place makes the follow ing statement: “For over forty years I suffered with misery in my back and at times i could not pass water without great pain and a burning sensation. I have had to make water as often as sixteen times during one night—Just a little at a time. I tried many kinds of kid ney medicines, but all without any good result, till at last I tried Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and my pains are all gone.” “I took six boxes and I am cured completely. ! am 77 years of age and 1 feel better now than I have for over fifty years and I attribute it aU to Dodd's Kidney Pills.” Dodd's Kidney Pills have made some remarkable cures In this part of thy state, and many old men and women are praising them highly as a cure for lame back, kidney and bladder trou bles. Jealousy is not so much a heart dis order as it is a case of out-of-date liver. A WORD IN SEASON IMPORTANCE OF GOOD ADVICE, COURTEOUSLY GIVEN. Whole Current of Young Man’s Life Probably Changed for the Best by Weil Meant and Kindly Admonition Gently Offered. It is impossible to correctly value a good word spoken under lavoring con ditions. An illustrative incident is related in the experience of Hon. Johu Mahin, the veteran editor and pub lisher of the Muscatine Journal, whose sturdy antagonism to the liquor traffic and the drink habit is of more than state-wide knowledge. Some fifteen years ago, traveling upon a train fro.«i Muscatine to Kansas City, Mr. Mahtn entered the lavotory of the sleeper ss the train approached the latter city. Hanging from the wall was the coat of a young man from West Virginia. In the pocket was a flash of liquor. The West Virginian, au intelligent, manly appearing fellow, courteously offered Mr. Mahin a drink, which, of course, was declined. When their toil ets were completed and they were again seated in the coach, near each other, Mr. Mahin, attracted by the young fellow’s gentlemanly bearing, ventured a kindly word of admonition against the practice of using intoxi cating beverages. "That is what my mother has been telling me," said the young man. "And where will you find in all the world any one more deeply Interested in your welfare, one who loves you more devotedly, than your mother?” inquired Mr. Mahin. “That is true,” responded the West Virginian in reroguition of the kindly intent of the advice of the older man, “and the young lady to whom I am naying attention has also given me the same advice." “Then you have the most powerful of ail motives for breaking away from the habit,” said Mr. Mahin, "and let me urge upon you the great import ance of such a course and its influence upon your future career;” and a con versation ensued, in which the young man promised to abandon the drink habit. Three weeks later Mr. Mahin was traveling over the same road on a train from Kansas City and was ac- j costed by the West Virginian, who rec- j ognized him. “I have kept my prom- i ise,” said the young maa. “1 was vis iting an uncle in Kansas City. There was a social gathering at his house at which wine was served. All partook but myself. Afterwards my uncle, vvho uses beverages, commended me for j declining, so you see I had not low ered myself in his esteem by refusing to drink.” Fifteen years rolled by and the Christmas-tide of 1902 was approach ing. One day there came to the resi dence of Mrs. John Mahin at Musca tine an express package from Chicago. It contained a beautiful mantel clock, and with it a note recalling the cir cumstance on the train which we have related. It was lrom the West Vir ginian, now a successful western man ager of a large manufacturing indus try in the east. He had steadfastly adhered to the promise he had made to her husband fifteen years ago and in grateful remembrance asked the ac ceptance of a memento to mark a kindly deed that affected a turning point in his life. The incident reveals its own moral. , It is found not only in the wisdom and firmness of purpose of the young West Virginian that made a man of him. but in the kind and discreet counsel . given him by one whose advice was not obtrusive, but was none the less iu-uicst, earnest and effective.

Magician Puzzled a Select Company of Bohemians. Not many months before his death the magician was a guest at the fa mous but now defunct Whitechapel j club, the rendezvous of Chicago Bo hemians. On the night in question a venerable Japanese priest was pres- j ent. In the course of a few tricks Hermann picked up a deck of cards and asked some one to select a card. The seven of clubs was the card drawn from the pack and it was shown to the spectators, but not to the magician. The card was replaced in the deck, which was shuffled and then handed to one of the spectators. “Look through the deck, please,” Eaid Hermann. The holder of the cards did as re quested. "Is the card that was drawn in the pack?” asked the wizard. "No, sir,” answered the spectator. “What was the card?” "The seven of clubs.” "Well, gentlemen, if one of you will kindly unlace the prelate’s shoe, you will find the card that has vanished from the pack.' After a smiling protest the Japanese priest unlaced his shoe, and there, to the amazement of all, was found the seven spot of clubs. Where Silence Was Golden. “Did you know that I passed your door last evening?” said the young man tenderly. "Of course,” replied the beautiful girl, wL’n reproach in her glistening eye?. "Do you think I would not know your step?” "Certainly,” said the happy young msn, as he directed the conversa tion away from the subject and avoided remarking that he passed the door in a cab. A Lover of Habit. ixivp of habix was pushed to an ex treme degree by a wealthy grazier near I.e Mans, of the name of Chape lain. fn order to avoid the uprooting from Ills habits that in his opinion death might eause he had a utile chap el built over the family burying place, grd so arranged that he could use it every day as a sitting room. He used to spend In it the early hours of the afternoon reading his paper, going over his account books, and writing letters. His coffin contained a com fortable mattress, and he used it as a lied. When the rare came to admin ister the last sacraments. M. Chape tain said, on being asked whether he felt comfortable: "Absolutely so, M. Is Cure. In dying, you see. I shall not break with my habits and in the grave 1 shall be in a home that I am us< d to.” He begged that his old pipe .’'nil tobacco pouch, his penholder that lie had used thirty-five years, and gome other familiar objects should be buried with him. Justice Harlan’e Caddy. Caddying o» the links of the Co lumbia a^d Chevy Chase Golf clubs is a favorite method for getting spend ing monev urrnr>rr Washington boys pf high and low decree alike. A few cays a-o Justice Itnrian of the su preme court who is a golflac. hired a bright-eyed youngster about 12 years if a"o to caddy for him. The boy ivas polite and attentive, and was an ■vrentionally good caddy. Justice Hailan encaged him to caddy for him the following day. When the justice i-ached the links the boy was not to be found, and he tool: another tiny. ,'s Justice Harlan approached the i mrteenth hole the handsome victoria r; a ri< it senatorial family drove up. Vnc boy who had been the justice’s «?ddy ihe previous dav jumped out. Hi run up to Justice Harlan, cap in band, and said: “I ant awfully sorry ’ couldn’t get, here at 2 o’clock; but, you see, mamma had a luncheon for Senator Depew, and I just, couldn’t ret the carriage to come out in any poner.” Had Mice in Her Hr.t, A New York street car Incident a days ago should furnish a dreadful warning: to women who wear last veai a hats. A tolerably young and charming woman boarded a suburban car on the other side of the river, and after having seated herself discov ered that her hat was alive. The next instant saw the millinery on the Hour and tlte woman standing on the floor with shirts lifted rather indecorously high. Four mice scampered around the floor of the car In great conster nation at having been dispossessed of their tenement. After the ruiee were killed the woman explained that the hat was an old one which she had not wont for a year. Was Spooner’s Tender Point. Senator Simon of Oregon is the only man in the senate who is shorter than Senator Spooner. The Wisconsin sen ator is inclined to bo touchy about his stature. A short time ago he was sit ting reading a book in his committee room, when Dr. Heenan, consul at Odessa, was brought in by a friend for an introduction. Heenan is a giant, six feet four inches tall and broad across the shoulders. When Senator Spooner arose to be present ed Heenan looked down on him and said: “And this is Senntor Spooner?” “Great Scott!” flared Spooner, "you don’t think every United States sen ator must be seventeen feet tall, do ycu?” In the search for sensation few of us will be able to emulate Gates by losing $7,000,000 in one day—at least, before next pay day.

Wonderful yields THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the frames which they play and the enjoy ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is— Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please to remember, the full name of the Company — CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.- is printed on the front of every pack age. In order to get its beneficial effects it is al ways necessary to buy the genuine only.
