Lowell Mass Hv nilr the best family cathartic flood S FllIS and liver stimulant 25c MPflflRE Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills which vanish before proper ef fortsgentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system which the pleasant family laxative Syrup of Figs prompt ly removes That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health Its beneficial effects are due to the fact that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts It is therefore all important in order to get its bene ficial effects to note when you pur chase that you have the genuine article which is manuf actured by the California Fig Syrup Co only and sold by all rep utable druggists If in the enjoyment of good health and the system is regular then laxa tives or othor remedies are not needed If afflicted with any actual disease one may be commended to the most skillful physicians but if in need of a laxative then one should have the best and with the well informed everywhere Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction

SWALLOWS CHARGE A SHIP Hundreds of Thousands of the Birds Iaternlly Overwhelm the Vessel It is often said that one swallow does not make a summer It can also be truthfully asserted that one swallow cannot cause a shipwreck but what a multitude of swallows may do in this line is another thing These birds came near being responsible for running a steamer on the rocks of the Spanish coast near Malaga A Russian steam er hailing from Odessa has for some time been engaged in the Mediterra nean trade principally carrying passen gers between Leghorn and Malaga On one of the recent trips it encountered an adventure which will never be for gotten by either the crew or the pas sengers The passage had been a stormy one but the day of the occur rence was unusually fine Though a rather heavy sea was running most of the passengers were on deck Sudden ly the lookout called Hurricane cloud leeward At once there was great consternation aboard and a num ber of people sought safety below The Captain however after glancing at the barometer gave it as his opinion that it was no hurricane cloud The black mass that they saw hovering near the horizon was he thought a particularly dense volume of smoke from some steamer But the solution of the mys tery came much sooner than they had expected The threatening mass grew larger and larger and soon was seen to bear down in the direction of the ves sel with terrific speed Everybody both crew and passengers became frightened at the mysterious cloud which seemed to move with great ra pidity notwithstanding that a perfect calm prevailed Then came the solu tion The vast cloud that they had seen was composed of swallows The fore runners a small detachment of some 10000 swooped down on the deck to the bewilderment of the people on board These were soon followed not by thousands but by hundreds of thou- 1 - herits his fathers propensities except in his inalienable love for nature in her wildest expressions Tall and thin but rugged as the little peaks that leap into the sky around him he is as picturesque and full of color as any hunter drawn by Cooper or Ileid He never knew a days illness and never will His taking off will come some night when he lies dowTn to sleep in the mountains heart and slumbers forever Out of the hunting season the old man works a wee bit of a ranch in the canon and sells the product in Santa Monica

Boers who defeated the British under Dr Jameson in their intended in vasion of the Transvaal is a Pennsyl vania n Gen Jouberts parents came SWALLOWS ALMOST CAUSE A WEECK AT SEA sands The birds literally overwhelm ed the vessel The man at the wheel lost his bearings and the wildest dis order prevailed The birds poured into every available opening hatchways windows and everywhere else They got tangled in the ropes and sails and clustered about the rigging Even the smokestack was so filled up at one time that the fires were nearly extin guished The most amazing part of the whole thing was that the birds did not evince any disposition to leave To heighten the confusion the steamer had got out of its course and ran ashore However on account of going very slow no material damage was done though the passengers were badly frightened When the crew had re covered from their amazement they be gan to clear the deck and the vessel in general of these unexpected and not at all welcome guests The Captain ordered the men to use shovels and whatever they could to throw the birds overboard After getting fairly in shape the vessel proceeded on its voyage having been delayed for nearly eight hours on account of this singular expe rience The Captain could not offer any theory as to where this vast army of swallows came from All he said was that the birds evidently were ex hausted from a prolonged flight during the storm of the previous day and sought rest on his vessel KIT CARSONS SON Me Lives Like a Hermit in the Wildest Part of the Sierras In the wildest part of the Sierras

James Flsk Jr Mr Jor dan was first attracted to Fisk when the latter came to his store as a ped dler to replenish stock The rich mer chant was so impressed with the young mans shrewdness that he engaged him as a clerk In a little while the very qualities of character which brought Fisk to his benefactors notice made him also a good deal of a load to carry Demands for increased pay followed each other fast and before long Fisk was drawing the largest salary in the establishment and one which would iave been considered enormous any where else The next step was the en trance of the high salaried clerk into partnership with his employer and he etained this position as long as it was deemed safe New York Evening Post Walter Baker Co Limited Dorches ter Mass the well known manufactur

my stomach was very tired so that when I did eat I ate too much and that resulted in a condition which was followed by severe neuralgia in my head My experience with Ripans Tabules previously taught me that possibly the trouble might be remedied by treating the stomach Before I had taken the third Tabule my neuralgia had gone and I was feeling pretty well I had neuralgia very bad and I could feel
