Yet there is one need, says the Aneri- eantAnalyst, which they arealnost ' vaable to supply. We .refer to the "family laxative.' The family phy skiaa is able to prescribe for the most complicated and obscure of maladies and yet is often puzzled to know just what to gire when asked, for a remedy which, can be kept in the house for ', family ase as a laxative, that shall be effecthre,free from .danger, and not un pleasant to take. "When absent on our summer vacation we were asked by four different parties, representing as many families, what We -thought of the "Syrup of Figs." Not one word did we volunteer on the subject, and we were somewhat surprised to find that there was this small token of the very gen eral use of that preparation. These parties said they derived more benefit from it and found it more pleasant to take than anything of the kind they had ever used. The simple question with them was, is it a dangerous com pound? We informed them that its active ingredient was a preparation of senna, and that it was entirely free from danger. With this assurance they volunteered the information that they should continue to keep it in the house. The therapeutical properties of senna are so well known that comment on this seems unnecessary. It might be well to notice, however, that Bartho- low says it is "a very safe and service able cathartic," and that it is "highly prized as a remedy for constipation." lie also makes the important observa tion that its use "is no followed by in-' testinal torpor and constipation." The simple truth of the matter is, we have altogether too few preparations which we dan recommend to our families as effective laxatives. But the Cali- f ornia Fig Syrup company has one of the most desirable combinations for this purpose with which we are famil- iar The Fig Syrup company gives to the profession the composition of this preparation, therefore there is no secret ; about it; the persons who use this laxa tive speak in the highest terms about it; and we are pleased to notice that a large number of physicians are pre- scribing it. Viewed from the narrowest and most selfish standpoint the physician will lose nothing by recommending suck a preparation as Syrup of Figs to his pa tients; while viewed from the highest . standpoint of doing the best possible . by those who place themselves in our care, we would say the profession can not do better than give their indorse ment to such a preparation. "German Syrup" My niece, Emeline Hawley, was, 'taken with spitting blood, and she became very much alarmed, fearing that dreaded disease, Consumption. She tried nearly all kinds of medi cine but nothing did her any good. Finally she took German Syrup and " she told me it did her more good than anything she ever tried.

The wild waves dashed ag-ainst its feet; the sea-gulls came here to perch for " a while, as they scanned the vast waste of waters below, looking for prey. The sky was dark and lower ing, with a storm coming np slowly from the darkening west, where the sun had already sunk from sight. A gloomy scene, and not one to attract, yet Therese Vaneourt seemed perfectly entranced as she stood there alone; a slim, white-robed figure, sharply out lined against the dusky background of rock and gloomy sky. Belle and beauty, queen of the fashionable set which held sway over the Sea-side house, one would scarcely expect to find her alone, at this hour, the fashionable Miss Van court But she seemed wholly ab sorbed in thought as she stood on the cliff, her small golden-crowned head half drooping, the great purple blue eyes gazing before her out at sea; the redlips half parted; the small white hands folded loosely. She was evi dently watching something away out upon the water. The object material ized at last, and-proved to be a boat, a little boat, which came "dancing lightly over the billows." A man was rowing with slow, easy strokes; a .man with a bronzed, handsome face, deep gray eyes, .and close-cropped dark hair. A swift, sudden light leaped into her groud eyes. None of her legion of admirers down at the hotel had ever caught a glimpse of that light in Therese Vancourt's splendid eyes. She had laid aside socictys mask, and out here, alone with nature, she dared be true to herself. Swiftly the little boat came over the waves; the man within lifted his head at last and saw her., A dark crimson flushed his tanned cheeks for an instant; then he bit his lips as though angry or impatient, and turned away.. At that moment his eyes fell upon the fast-darkening skj- the approach ing storm signals. Turning his boat n bout, -he made straight for the cliff, for a certain point at which a landing could-be made. Three minutes later he was at her side. "Miss Vaneourt," his voice was low and full of music, "there is a storm coming; did you not observe it? Al low me to escort you safely back to your hotel. My boat is below; the landing accessible, may I conduct you to it? Storms upon this point are dangerous; you will be swcot out to sea." She shivered and turned pale. "Even so," she returned, in a falter ing voice, "it would be better than to live and marry old Effingham. Oh, Laurence, Laurence!" she caught his hand with a mad grasp in both her own: then dropping it she turned away. "I hate him hate him hate him," she panted wildly. Laurence Dale bit his lip, and his .eves grew dark with pain. " "Why marry him, then?" he asked, coldly. She flashed swiftly about, and faced him pale and still; in her purple blue eyes a dangerous light was shining; her breath came quick and fast. - "Whv?" she cried, exciteaiy. "lie- cause I am a poor dependent, and obliged to obey my aunt's wishes. Aunt BrauscGinbc has decreed that I shall become that man's wife. I am dependent upon her bounty; I must obey her, or be turned adrift upon the world all alone. "Xo! oh, no!" he cried, wildly, "surely it is not so bad as that, Miss Vaneourt Therese!" The name fell from his lips before he was aware of his own temerity. She lifted her eyes to his. She was pale as marble, her glorious eyes shin ing like stars. "It is as bad as that," she returned, in a low voice. "My aunt knows how to torture me with the very keenest, crudest torture. She has promised old Percy Effingham that I shall marry him, and she will keep her word." "She shall not! Oh, Therese, Therese! you may send me from you. if you like you cannot prevent my loving j'ou! Yes I the poor no body only a farmer who makes his living out of the ground. My darling, if yon could only care for me, I would save you from this horrible marriage. Forgive me, dear heart," checking the mad words epen his tongue. ;I I have no right to offer you pov crtj'; only my heart is very rich in love for j'ou! Can you ever pardon roy presumption, darling? 1 have loved you long ever since the first time 1 looked into your sweet face. Of course, I had never thought to tell you this. Only say that you forgive me She checked him with a low cry, laying her bit of a white hand upon his arm a white hand crowned with a magnificent solitaire diamond old Effingham's gift "His ring!" she said, as the young man's eyes fell upon it '"I cannot wear it it hurts me. It feels like a brand of shame! Laurence, listen!" Her eyes met his, then drooped slowly. "I love you!" "Therese!" "I love you! Don't ask me how I know, or why I love you. Ask nothing. I only know that every throb of my heart is for you.' "Heaven bless vyou! But oh, my darling!" stopping to press his lips on the white trembling hands, "this is madness! I must not permit such a sacrifice!" The beautiful eyes flashed into his. "It is no sacrifice," she said softly. Cannot you understand? I love yon! I have loved you for weeks. Lau rence, I will never marry old Effing ham never?' At that very instant the gathering storm burst forth; a hurricane wrhose horrors had never been surpassed upon that coast It swept the bare brown cliff with mad, remorseless fury, and dashed those two, clinjring wildly together, into the deaths of the sea. lie held her close to his heart Her lips rested upon his in a tender, clinging kiss. "Better death like this," she said, softly, "than life with old Effing ham." But it was not to be death.' With a. mighty effort he managed to "hold her above the waves, and so fought his way, inch by inch, to land. Spent and breathless, he dragged his weary lirabsupon the beach, that slender fig ure still claspaj. in his arms, and sank down upon the sand, insensible. Hal f an hour later the fury of the storm had subsided, and a party from the hotel, armed with lanterns, set forth in search of the missing girl. Thi;y found her, quite unconscious, lying clasped in Laurence Dale's arms he. too. oblivious to all outward affairs. Mrs. Branscombe, tall and stately, cold and cruel, a living exponent of fashion and conventionality, took in the situation, her lip curling with client scorn. In a glance she com prclfended all, and memory rushed to the fore with many half-forgotten in cidents which pointed to the unpala table truth; she set her teeth hard to gether, and her steelv eyes glittered. "I'll see her dead 'first! she mut tered, sharply. Then she turned to the others. "i'Thank heaven! she is alive! This WosTZ'saan, a worthy fellow who lives 4BB -smWsTJWCy'03TI down the beach a mile or? so, has vi- dently rescued her. Keally.Tie 4-' serves mylife-loBf; gratitode wiit hers!" , And inwardly Mrs. Branscombe was congratulating herself over; old Effing' ham's absence, from the.; scene.. Bis rheamatism had kept him indoors If. he only need never know the particu lars of this rescue. The next morning, Laurence Dale presented himself before Mrs. Brans combe, and in a manly, straightfors ward way revealed his love 'for her niece, and his wish to make ber bis wife. Positively paralyzed with amaze ment, that lady could paly stare in wordless wrath. When at last she could find speech she pointed to tbe door. "You impertinent clod-hopper!" -she panted, if yon ever dare, enter the presence of my Biececagin, I will make yon regret it to the day of your death-" "Aunt Branscombe!" , - There before.her, pale and defiant, stood her niece. "I shall be 21 years old to-morrow. I love Laurence Dale. I am going to marry him.'t "At vour peril!" "I am determined the girl's sweet I voice went on nrmiy, "i wui not marry that old man!" She drew the diamond from her finger and tossed it contemptuously upon the table. But Mrs. Branscombe's temper was at white heat now. She was quite dan gerous. She turned to Laurence Dale, her eyes fairly blazing. "Leave!" she commanded. "My niece is as yet under age. Until to morrow I control her! She shall obey me! And to-morrow she marries Percy Effingham! That is settlea!" "I will die first!'' But Mrs. Branscombe held her peace, having sent forth her edict Preparations were made for a hasty wedding the next day in a little church near the hotel. Therese mean time was to to kept a prisoner in her BTILI. CLASPKD IN HIS ARMS. own room, until the hour appointed for the ceremony. She looked strange ly resolute, when she heard her aunt turn the key in the lock. No wonder Mrs. Branscombe was so determined upon this marriage. Old .Effingham had already executed a deed of gift of a large sum of money to be paid her as a yearly income, the same to take effect as soon as the marriage was performed. Through the key-hole of the door Mrs. Branscombe watched her niece array herself for the bridal and an expression of satisfaction crept into her eyes. "She sees that she must submit," was Mrs. Branscombe's verdict, "and wisely resigns- herself to the inevita ble." The hour appointed for the cere mony came. The bridegroom, "in bridal array," was fuming impatient ly outside, a feeling of uncertainty troubling his elderly heart Mrs. Branscombe unlocked the door of the room. One swift glance, and she fell back with a cry of xagc. The bride was gone! A duplicate key had opened the door on the out side, a closed carriage had taken her and the man she loved to the next town, where they were made man and wife. 'She's o'er the border and awa', "With Jock o" Hazcldean." The Valno or Advertising. A wcaltliv man endeavored to show That Fortune comes to those who advertise.

Somo notion of the enormous con sumption of beer in the civilized countries of tho world may bo gained from tho fact that last year no less than 3.000,000,000 gallons of beor were imbibed in Europe alone. Ger many, of course, ncaded the list of consumants with 1,051,000,000 gal lons, Great Britain being a good second with 855,000,000 gallons; third came Austria with 300,000,000 gallons, while Franco and Belgium wero "bracketed fourth" with 220, 000 gallons apiece. Denmark "tails" tho list with a miserable 145,000 gal lons. Of extra European countries, the United States and Canada, of course, como first with an annual consumption of 800,000,000 gallons, Australia taking second place at 22. 500,000 gallons. The above figures, of course, represent round numbers. The Itattle of tl-e Rattlesnake. The growth of tho rattle of tho rattlesnake has been studied by a Gorman scientist,, who finds that tho rattle is frequently shed, and, after being shed (his snakes wero kept in a very warm, room), in three or four months two rattles wero present, thcirappcarance having nothing to do wh tho casting of tho skin. Tho snakes wero mado to register the vi bration of tho rattle on smokod pa per, an3 it was found'that tho vibra tion was a compound ono, consisting of tho vibration of, tho tail as a whole, and of the rattle independent ly of. tho tail A-ibrations. Tho ap proximate figures of vibrations were, for the tail, 75; of vic rattle, 110 a second. I.artl Cancn tn St. JVtersbiirg.

WAYS AND MEANS OF ENJOY ING LIKE ON A FARM. dabs aa Defeatta SswUtUs S ef Her Carters Cisrrs Majr . Am Acre or He Perk 0aseksM. Helps. gochULUe Aamawjr T Enough is written., sad' suggested how to do farmers' work, hsw to sow or plant and how to reap and garden and how to buy or sell in fact to do anything and everything to -make money. And it is true that, that is desirable. But that is not all of- farm life. It is in order to take into con sideration ways and means within reach of the poorest and humblest of how to enjoy life not' only to eat. tdrink and sleep, but to enjoy what ever has been provided mentally, physically and socially. Yea.-s ago farmers' clubs were in order. Farmers would meet at the district school house and discuss, modes and methods of how to do this or that particular kind of work. But the farmers' wives and daugh ters were not "in it," so the clubs wero invited to meet at private houses. Tho eyjeuing meeting was turned into a day meeting and the membership inclnded a larger, num ber and the outsido circle grew larger in proportion. 'The informal "talk11 developed into essays. Music and refreshments wero introduced and, a right good -time they had of it Sometimes men of mark, successful men, visited these clubs, and editors and correspondents of agricultural and scientific papers addressed the clubs. Tho farm or nursery or dairy was looked over and many a. mental note was taken and reduced to prac tico on other farms and the reverse was also noted, and had it been writ ten out it would have read: "Things to be avoided if you desire success;" No farmer who loved his calling was ever tho poorer' for what outlay he mado to entertain his neighbors and friends.

Murtfeldt in the St Louis Republic. When properly conducted they are of immense benefit Man is a social being; ho needs rest and recreation II is ambition should be directed in a proper channel. Looked at as an animal only, man is the only animal that laughs, and he should laugh; indeed, if ho laughed moro and often or he would need less physic. Man need not smirk and snicker and grin continually, but when wit and humor incites, let him laugh heartily and loud as if ho enjoyed it. The proverb-says: "Laugh and grow fat." Now, a good debating society does at times offer great inducements to exercise this faculty. Again, if good shall result it may and should incite to reading and study. "Wonder where that little follow got all that information," you may here ono or the other remark. Or someone else who came prepared will startle the society by exclaiming that a certain quotation was incorrect and ho has the documents to proye it Parlia mentary rules are 'studied, not so much to govern that particular so ciety, but to fit men for the common council or the legislature or the bar. Many a lawyer or judge got his start first in that direction from a local schoolhouse debating' society. The charm'of social life in the sub urbs is enhanced by clubs, where questions of tho day are brought forward by essays and papers, which generally arc discussed by membors .present This kind of entertain ment is possible in .every neighbor hood of intelligent people.

There may bo an executivo committeo to arrango for topics and places, and also a committee on music. !No fees are required. It is hoped that those hints, briefly given, may induce'many to employ the means at hand for social and musical im provement and thus make the winters pass pleasantly and profitably. S.ivo This for .Reference. Symptoms of hog cholera are de scribed by the Iowa state board of. health as follows: The presenco of tho disease is indicated by a cold shivering, lasting from a few seconds to several hours; frequent sneezing, followed by a loss of appetite; rough appearance of the hair, drooping of the cars, stupidness, attempts to vomit tendency to root tho bedding to lio down in dark and quiet places, dullness of the eyes, qften dim; some times swelling of tho head, eruptions of tho ears and other parts of tho body; dizziness, laborious breathing, vitiated appetite for dung, dirty and salty substances, accumulation of mucus in inner corner- of- tue-eye -dischargo from tho noso, fetid offen-: sivo odor of tho discharges from the- bowels, offensive exhalations; diar-4 rheal discharges aro semi-fluid, of grayish, green color and often mixed with blood. In many cases tho skin on tho belly between the hind legs, behind the ears and even tho noso has numerous red spots which toward the fatal termin ation turn purple. As tho discaso progresses, the animal becomes slug gish, the head droops with tho nose near the ground, but usually will be found lying down with the nose hid in the bedding. If thero has been costiveness, about two days before death there will be offensive fetid discharge; tho voico becomes faint and hoarse; the animal is stupid, emaciation increases rapidly; the skin becomes dry, hard, and very unclean; there is a cold, clammy sweat, and death soon follows, with convulsions, or gradually by ex haustion, without a struggle. In chronic cases, or those of long du ration the animal becomes weak, lies down most of the time, eats but little and has the diarrhea. These cases may linger for weeks, scatter ing the poison of the disease in "the dischargo wherever they go. Col man's Rural World. As Acre of Hens. Go ahead and build one house that will accommodate 100 fowls. Put s partition through the middle and keep your fowls in two flocks of fifty each. Divide your acre into four yards and use the yards alternately.,. In the fall plow up two of tho yards and sow to rye. As soon as it is up a few inches put your fowls in those yards. The rye will furnish green t - ras)n - Csutil: saew comes in winter wsirvfrt'h;fowls can get at the grmsVMd the -first thing in the spriag. Should the rye, be likely to grow too high in the fall, just turn your cow in for a little while oc casibnslly, and lot her feed it down. -IKeepyour hens on these yards un til plowing time next spring, then turn them into the other yards where the grass will be nice and fresh. Plough under what is left of tho rye and plant the yards to corn and sun; flowers. We have kept hens in this way f fty in a flock, 100 in one houso and there was hot a case of sick ness among the cd fowls during the entire winter.. And we made over $100 in clear cash from tho sale of eggs from those 100 hens, so we do not hesitate to declare that moro than twenty-five fowls can bo kept profitably in one flock. No, wo didn't sell any of the eggs at fancy prices; they were sold at the average price of twenty cents a dozen. Ask your self if you have an acre within the limits of your farm that pays $100 or even fifty dollars. Fannio Field in Prairie Farmer. The Clever Hay Worm. Tho farmer who finds in his mow the webs of the clover hay worm should 'read and act upon tho advice of Professor Osborn, of tho Iowa agricultural college, who says Where, these webs are found I would advise thorough cleaning put of the infested mow and burning of all the webbed and worthless hay con taining tho. worms. Otherwise there will he developed an enormous num ber of moths to lay eggs in the com ing seasons crop of hay and tho probability of worse damage another, year than has occurred heretofore. It is exactly under such conditions, the holding over of masses of in fected hay, that the worms find tho best opportunity for increase, and, while it may involve some labor and apparent loss at the time, it may be considered, as. next to throwing hay away to store it. over a mass of hay previously infested, except that the upper portion will probably escape any 3erious damage. It is possible that worms could bo killed by use of bisulphide of carbon without remov ing the hay, but I hesitate to recom mend it, as 1 know of -no caso where it has been used for this pest and be cause of the danger connected with its use, especially in a barn whore lanterns may be brought, making possible tho ignition of tho fumes. Farmer's Review. Pork Pointers. Keep close supervision of tho swino so that they may get all thoy want to eat and no more. Some people seem to be afraid to apply whitewash to tho hog pon. It is a good cleanser and is cheap. Don't complain that your sows eat chickens and hens when you throw dead chickens or offal from them in tho hogs' way. AVhy does tho sow stray away from the herd to find a secluded placo to farrow? Seo to it that you have a quiet placo provided 'or her. Tho small, unmarketable potatoes should bo boiled, mashed and mixed with bran and fed to tho hogs. Don't allow anything to go to waste. In ' all litters aro uneven, weak and altogether unsatisfactory the sire is at fault; if but ono or two lit ters are in such condition tho fault is more likely with tho sow. Don't bo hasty in shifting from one kind of stock to another. Tho man who sticks either to hogs, shoo p or cattle through thick and thin, will generally como out all right. Never feed lice ou the swine, and lice must be fed if they aro on tho hogs. Carbolic acid in water say three tablespoonfuls to a half erallon 'of water sprinkled on tho swino, is a good remedy. It is frequently the case that fat tening cattle or hogs become dis gusted, with food because it is kept by them. Feed only what tho stock will eat up clean. People would "lose their appetites" if thoy had food constantly kept beforo them. There is often complaint that tho siro obtained from a breeder is too fine or too coarse, and wo admit thero is much in the law of heredi ty; but let us be wido awake in tho selection of our sows it is over half tho work and-then bo careful how we grow them. lloiineliolil Helps.

The management of the canal say that several steamers have already engaged, to bring cotton from New Orleans and Galveston to Manchester direct, and &3 'spinners, owning more than -0,-000,000 spindles and consuming about 350,000 tons of raw cotton yearly, have signed a statement booming the new route. They pledge themselves to give preference, when buying to arrive, to cotton shipped direct, and when buying on spot to cotton imported direct and stored in Manchester. A Timely Bit ef Advlee. In these times of grip and pneumonia it is of great importance that we should know where to looic for a safe and sure remedy. A slight cold may become a serious one, the scarcely noticeable pain in the chest is too often the forerunner of pneumonia. The first cough may lead to- consumption (a cough is always dangerous.)

It should bo kept in the house regularly to avoid delay when needed. It is sold at all the drug stores. Why Bird Ecv Are Leas;, Dr.-Nicalsky of St Petersburg at tributes the form of birds' eggs to graity. lie thinks that every egg not yet coated with a solid shell departs from the spherical form and elongates simply because of pressure on it by the Walls of the ovary. In birds which keep a vertical position when at rest (such as the falcon and owl), the soft egg becomes short through the bird's weight acting against the ovarian pres sure. In birds which, like the grebe, are nearly always swimming, the egg lengthens, because the weight of the body acts in the same direction as the ovarian compression." THE MODERN MOTHER Has found that her little ones are im proved more by the pleasant laxative, Syrup of Figs, when in need of the lax ative effect of a gentle remedy than by any other, and that it is moro accepta ble to them. Children enjoy it and it benefits them. The true remedy, Sjrup of Figs, is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only. A Fatal Scare. Sunday, while a young man, aged 17, and his mother, named Peters, residing ten miles east of Macon, were on their way to church, they overtook Miss Mag gie Pierce, aged 10, who was also going to church.

Young Peters drew his revolver and fired at the young woman The ball took effect in her head on the side of her nose. Her wound is considered fatal.
