Who Enjoy the Choicest Products
of the Worlds Commerce
Knowledge of What Is Best More Im
portant Than Wealth With
out It
It must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest order are neces
sary to enable the best of the products of
modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance However loudly
heralded they may not hope for world wide
preeminence unless they meet with tho
general approval not of individuals only
but of tho many who have the happy
faculty of selecting enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts Their commendation consequently
becomes important to others since to
meet the requirements of the well in
formed of all countries the method of
manufacture must be of the most per
fect order and the combination the most
excellent of its kind The above is true
not cf food products only but is espe
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter of a century of
growth and general use the excellent
remedy Syrup of Figs is everywhere
accepted throughout the world as the
best of family laxatives Its quality is
due not only to the excellence of the
combination of the laxative and carmin
ative principles of plants known to act
most beneficially on the system and pre
sented In the form of a pleasant and re
freshing liquid but also to the method
of manufacture of the California Fig
Syrup Co which ensures that uniformi
ty and purity essential in a remedy in
tended for family use Ask any physi
cian who is well informed and he will
answer at once that It is an excellent
laxative If at all eminent in his pro
fession and has made a special study of
laxatives and their effects upon the sys
tem he will tell you that it Is the best
of family laxatives because it is sim
ple and wholesome and cleanses and
sweetens the system effectually when
a laxative is needed without any un
pleasant after effects Every well-informed
druggist of reputable standing
knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel
lent laxative and is glad to sell it at
the regular price of fifty cents per bot
tle because it gives general satisfac
tion but one should remember that in
order to get the beneficial effects of
Syrup of Figs it is necessary to buy tho
genuine which is sold in original pack
ages only the name of the remedy
Syrup of Figs and also the full name of
the Company California Fig Syrup Co
printed on the front of every package

was a well man I recommended it to
several of my friends and all speak the
highest praise for it There is nothing
like Peruna for catarrhal afflictions

When Ir Miles assistant secretary

whom he had seen on the Key West
steamer came up to him on the train
and began a conversation with easy
familiarity Get any cigars through
asked the affable young man Oh

boxes Didnt pay any duty on em
I hope Yes I paid duty said Mr
Ailes sadly Oh pshaw said the
young man Youre dead slow I
got 250 through and they didnt pay
duty You see said Mr Ailes
the difference between us is that I
am an assistant secretary of the treas
ury The young man vanished and
Mr Alios did not see him again during
tho trip to Washington
Took Howells for a Crook
A Boston business man who has a
very poor opinion of the detectives in
that city sent for two of them recently
and showed the photograph of a rather
tough looking person whose identity
he seemed anxious to learn One of
the sleuths at once identified the man
as a noted bank robber the other in
clined to the belief that it was an
equally notorious forger They finally
agreed that it was the bank robber
i whereupon the business man showed
the back of the photograph on which
they read the originals name Wil
liam Dean Howells When the author
heard that he had been mistaken for
a noted criminal he thoughtfully ob
served that he could not blame the
detectives
Pharoahs Chariot Found

pharaoh rode at Thebes The actual
find was made known not by Mr
Davis but by Howard Carter inspec

We Are Great Apple Eaters
The latest estimate places the total
number of apple trees or bearing age
in the United States ar something
over 200000000 This is nearly three
trees to every person These trees
yield more than 175000000 bushels
Not all of these apples are consumed
at home for in years of full crop
more than 3000000 go abroad Yet
the apples kept at home are more
than two bushels to every adult and
child
To those who work the world owes
all its progress

prices
HOGS There was a very light run of
hogs but as other markets were quoted
lower the tendency was in the direction
of lower prices At the start tho market
was just about steady but toward the

Where Toads Are Respected
At the ancient church or St Mich
ael at Schwatz in Tyrol the sacred
edlflco Is invariably kept secretly
closed on the evening before every
great festival and the simple peas
antry of tho district are convinced that
on these occasions when no one is
present an immense toad comes
crawling before the altar whore it
kneels and prays weeping bitterly
for the population is imbued with the
belief that toads are for the most part
good Christians who have made vows
to go on pilgrimages and who have
died without fulfilling their pledges
So the poor creatures go hopping
about astray bewildered and per
plexed striving to find their way to
shrines which perchance have long
ceased to exist
