BerxeficiaJly ; truly as a Laxative . Syrup of Figs appeals to the cultured and the well-informed and to the healthy , because its com ponent parts are simple and wholesome and be cause it acts without disturbing the natural func wholly free from every objectionable quality or substance. In the process of manufacturing figs are used , as they are pleasant to the taste , but the medicinal virtues of Syrup of Figs are obtained vv from an excellent combination of plants known to be medicinally laxative and to act most beneficially.

Doan's Kid ney Pills cured me , and time has not diminished my estimation of this prep aration. Not only did Doan's Kidney Pills cure me at that time , but although over three years have elapsed , there has not been a symptom of a recur rence of the trouble.

A Reliable Preparation A Respon sible Firm. ' Of the many remedies before the pub lic there is , perhaps , none that has given such uniform satisfaction as Ely's Cream Balm , the renowned specific for Catnrrh and kindred diseases. For over a quar ter of a century it has stood the good test , growing in popularity as the years roll by , until the fame of the good work it has performed has made it a household word the country over. A soothing , efficacious and entirely harmless balm , it is easy to apply and brings relief and comfort to the thousands who are sufferers from catarrh in this climate during the fall , winter and spring seasons. A more re liable nor honorable firm than the pro prietors , Ely Brothers , whose name the celebrated remedy bears , cannot be found in any business or profession , so that in recommending this preparation to suffer ers it can truthfully be said that it is not only meritorious as to the ingredients of which it is composed , but that it is hacked up by honor and integrity as well.

"The 'lost and found' columns of the newspaper is responsible for a rather peculiar habit. " said an observant citi zen , according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat , "and it produces a rather singular mental condition. It has caused a great many persons to make a rather close study of the side walks of the city , and no doubt many of them live in the constant hope of picking up something very valuable. They have all sorts of wild dreams about finding jewelry , more or less val uable , and big rolls of money and things of that sort. I am not speaking of the unhappy and extremely unfortu- J I 1 nate class whose life is spent in search- Ing the sidewalks and the gutters for whatever trifle they may pick up. I have in mind a different sort of people , ( people who are more cultivated and 1 more refined , and whose minds have by degrees bent into the groove. Maybe some of them have found something at some time or other , and this has caused them to search , more or less diligently , the sidewalk as they rush along the I street. I know of one case of this sort , I a young man who has been so influ- ! c-nced by the habit that he goes along the street with his head down , often passing his nearest and closest friends without seeing them. He made the statement to me a few days ago that during the last year he had found six silver dimes on the sidewalk , and he had gradually drifted into the habit of searching the sidewalks with his eyes as he passed along the streets. 'Be sides , ' he said , 'I am always reading the lost and found column in the news papers , and the thing has a sort of fas cination for me. It has produced a perpetual condition of mental excite ment , and of course I get a great deal of pleasure out of it. ' Now , here is a curious thing. Men for some time have indulged the foolish habit of counting cracks in the sidewalks or telegraph poles , and touching things with their hands , but few of us have been aware of the existence of a class of men who are constantly trying to find something as they brush along the street. When we have found men looking intently at the sidewalk we have supposed that they were counting cracks , or trying to keep from stepping on cracks , or mak ing some sort of curious study of the sidewalk's topography , but instead we now learn that they are actually look ing for wealth , trying to find some thing that somebody else has lost. What strange flights fancy doth take In these latter days ! " MISSION OF THE CHEAP CIGAR. Method in the Madness of Selling for Absolutely Low Prices. "So you are going to try to force us retailers out of the business ! " ex claimed an irate little cigar man , bris tling with Indignation and addressing the manager of one of a number of cut-rate cigar stores. "Nothing of the kind , " replied the manager , bustling about his work. ' And the tobacco trust has put you up to this and is footing the bills ! " was the cigar man's second explosion. "Now , see here , " said the manager , taking the angry little man by the buttonhole and leading him out of the way of customers , "you don't under stand the game. We're increasing the consumption of tobacco. We're build ing up your business. " "Don't see it , " said the retailer , "when you sell a standard 3-cent cigar j five for 12 cents. " "That's just the way we're doing it , ' ' replied the manager. "The man who smokes two j-cent cigars a day comes in here and takes five for 12 cents and smokes them all in a day. A few weeks of that , and he wants his five cigars every day. He gets tired of coming around here to look for bar gains , and in a few weeks he begins to stop at your stand , as he used to do , but instead of buying 10 cents' worth of cigars , he leaves a quarter in your cash register and carries away half a dozen cigars. We've increased your trade 150 per cent. " "I hadn't looked at it that way , " said the retailer , calming down. "And here's another scheme of ours , " continued the manager. "Hundreds of smokers never treat themselves to a 10-cent cigar. We offer three 10-cent- ers and three fivers for a quarter. The smoker takes them and gets the taste for the better cigar. When he comes back to your shop he wants a 10-cent cigar. " "By Jove ! it's a great scheme , " said the cigar man , quite appeased. New STork Times. The Motion Prevailed An old town official of the city of Macon , Ga. , says in Short Stories that during the night of the earthquake disturbances of 1SSG the city council was in session. j When the quake shook the city hall' ' from basement to attic the council-1 men ran out , thinking the house would topple over. Whereupon the wag who who kept the minutes of the meeting concluded his record with the follow ing sentence : "On motion of the city hall , the council adjourned. " Her Explanation. "Women are an uncharitable lot , * ' re- 1 marked Hawkens as he laid aside his paper. "Because why ? " asked the other balf of the matrimonial combination. | "Because , " replied Hawkens , ' "every ; j : time two of them get together they talk ! 1 j about some other woman.

There is a value to everything , and the Italian is cognizant of the fact , al though the value is small. He gathers cinders , wood , rags , bottles , paper , rubj ber and leather shoes , and old tin cans , all of which have been thrown away by others. Sometimes two or more fam- ilies unite in making their collections and disposing of them , forming in a small way a trust or co-operative Indus- try. I The coal and wood they utilize for fuel in their homes , and turn trie other products of their labor into money in the following way : The old shoes and rubbers are sold to a shoemaker , usually another Italian , 1 and bring from f to 2.1 cents a pair , the prices varying according to their con dition. The shoemaker repairs them nnd disposes of them again as second- hand. The rags and paper are sold to the wholesale junk dealer , and usually bring about (5 cents a hundred weight for old paper and anywhere from 10 to 80 cents a hundred weight for rags. The bottles are washed and disposed of through the same agency. The price of bottles fluctuates , an average being $1 a hundred : but the Italian seldom sells on a ' 'bear" market. ' The bones are sold to the fertilizer factories , $2 a ton being paid. The tin cans are sold to foundries , .where the solder and tin are melted off and the iron sheets are melted up and sash weights made from them. Old tomato cans and fruit cans bring $ , ' { a ton , and it takes more than 4.000 of these cans to make a ton. There must be some money made in this business , for an Italian residing in .New York city pays to that corporation the sinn of $ . ' 10,000 a year for the privi lege of picking tho above-mentioned commodities ( trimming , they call It ) 'from the sfows that bear the city's ashes and garbage to the sea. Chris tian Endeavor World. IT'S UNNECESSARY TO SAY. Many Remarks that Are Entirely Sn- perflnonH at All Times. A new society is proposed to have for its title "The Society for the Suppres sion of Obvious Remarks. " A list of speeches is to be prepared which the so ciety binds Itself not to use , thus ele vating the character of general conver sation. Here are some of the speci mens of obvious remarks : "It is not the actual degree of heat registered by the thermometer which makes it so un comfortable ; it is the humidity in the atmosphere. " "I don't mind the money ; it's the principle of the thing. " "One never understands the name when one is introduced to a per son. " "If the water were filtered it would be just as good as the water of any city. " "The trouble al > out going to summer gardens is it takes you so long to get home. " "You can put on two fresh collars a day and then never have a clean one on. " These are statements over which no one disputes and they may be increased to an almost unlimited degree. The ob ject to be gained in refraining from them is rather indefinite except that they waste time , but as everyone has immeasurable quantities of time to waste , and no gain can be shown in saving it , the work of the S. S. O. R. society seems an idle expenditure of ef fort. If everybody carried on a thought ful conversation a state of mental ex haustion would soon be brought about where all conversations would cease , and silence in company , as everyone knows. Is more rasping on the nerves than an o'-can of commonplace re marks. The babling of tongues is an excellent deadenor of thought and no one should permit his thoughts to work overtime if he desires to be happy. Chicago Chronicle. Not a Chinese Word. "It's a mistake to suppose that 'joss' is a Chinese word , " says a retired ship's carpenter. "I've traveled a. good bit in the orient in my time , and among the odds and ends of interesting infor mation I picked up was a knock-out of the genuineness of 'joss' as a Chi nese word. Chinamen only know 'joss' when they come in contact with Europeans. A Chinese priest that I became chummy with in Hankow told * me that there was no such word in Chinese. He explained that the word was a corruption of the Spanish word 'Dios' and had come into use through the missionaries. Many early mission aries , he said , were Spanish priests , and their ' ' pronunciation of 'Dios' was speedily corrupted into 'joss' by na tive tongues and applied to the Chi nese dieties. It's only on the Chinese seaboard that the word is understood by Chinamen. In the interior , the priest told me. the celestials had no knowledge of It. " Tin ; Mourning Evil. The use of crepe for mourning veils is becoming less every day , and in summer the crinkly fabric is scarcely seen. Many physicians protest against women wearing crepe veils at any sea son of the year , and the nun's veiling , grenadine , and similar materials have to a large extent , replaced the crepe drapery ( that formerly wa. a distinctive badge of bereavement. For widows or other women wearing crepe mourning it is the fancy at pres ent < to wear a short veil of fine grena dine < or gauze , falling in graceful folds at the back and draped on a bonnet frame of light weight , edged with a narrow band of crepe. A bow of crepe adorns the front of the bonnet It is as important that a man should acquire new ways of complimenting as that a woman should learn new ways of cooking potatoes. | 1 ! i ST.
