lends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet-

I less expenditure, by more promptly
1 adapting the world's best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form moat acceptible and pleas

beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and levers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and

MAID MAKJ0RY,
Marjory Elis was verily the sweetest
little hoyden that ever handled the till
er of a cat-boat.
l!oy and chubby anil cute was she,
w"th a dangerous pair of wonderful,
sparkling, Irish eyes, vivid blue, sur
rounded by sweeping midnight lashes.
Marjory well deserved her wide re
putation as the most beautiful girl on
Long Island.
Tray, Majory. take heed whither
thou goes!. I have no desire to end my
I life in a watery grave." said Isabelle.
as Majory jibed the Wing, and came
near upsetting the treacherous little
' craft.
"The saints protect usl" murmured
Elizabeth, with a feigned shiver of ap
1 prehension, "if Marjory S'.'cs a young
I man in a passing boat she is quite
I equal to dumping us out io lighten her
load to that she may beat Uini."
' Just as that moment a. small sloop
summing along wan an sais sei, pass
ed quite close to them, and vitti a sud
den cry of "low bridge Marjory
brought the Wing sharply about and

the graceful, tossing sloop.
"Uiris, did you see that fcSlow? He
was as handsome as an Adonis, with
the proportions and apparent streugth
of a j'oung giant."
"Ye gods and little lishes. hear Mar
jory gush," laughed Isabelle. when she
recovered her breath from the sudden
duck of her head, which was neces
sary iu order to clear the swinging
boom.
"She met her fate on the broad, blue
sea.
And a jolly young sailor, bold is lie."
sang Elizabeth, tcasingly.
"Stop your nonsense, or I .will give
you a taste of the 'broad blue sea,' " re
turned Marjory.
Almost as she spoke, the great sail,
with a breathless rush, flapped upon
them, then jibed with a creak and a
f.!"'.
' III13
and ail in a monieirt. three pret-
es were llounderiiig iu the wa
ter.
t.us- Marvin heard a voilej of shrill
shrieks ami turned iost the gfYls fran
tically clutching their Lobbing boar,
and sending cries of terror and despair
in his direction.
It was oniy a few minutes .work to
coino about and sail over to the .wreck,
v.lore ho rescued thrc dripping dam
sels, whose spirits. ike 'heir garments,
were sadly dampened by their suddeu
cold plunge.
Marjory was the only one who rV
tainul even a semblance of composure,
as she said:
"Mhiij- thanks, kind sir. for your
liinely assistant' v You have rescued
us from certain dentil, and we are grate
; ful accordingly. I tssure von we did
I not do it on purpose o make your ac
' qiiaintance. even though men aro de
i plorably mm rev at the hotel. May
1 we know the name of our preserver":"
Gus paused in his work of bailing out
j the overturned boat, and with an anius
I ed grin, fished a soiled card out of his
1 jacket-pocket, and doffing his yacht
ing cap. prevnted it with all the courte
sy of an ancient courtier.
I 'Thank-, noble lord." said Marjory:
1 b;U after this she subsided under the
' fierce glances of the oilier girls, who
! w.re sad in the consciousness of the
j sorry, even ridiculous, aspect thov must
present with their dripping garments
' anil straight bangs.
1 Gus bailed out the Wing and lowed
it in to the "Grand Pier" dock, where
i he deposited the three Graces, alas!
deprived of their well-known attrib
utes. For not one of the girls felt the
i slightest stirriugs of either faith, hope
1 or charity in their disgusted persons.
"Such abominable luck!" moaned
j Marjory, as she led the cold wet pro
cession up to Greycliff. the Ellis Yilla.
"Well. I should say so!" interrupted
J Isabelle. "You will never get me to
set foot in vour horrid little boat again,
Marjory Ellis."
Elizabeth only groaned. It was a
groan born of her uncomfortable state,
and meant disapproval of Marjory and
her boat.
"Oh. girls, .rirls. who do you think he
is?"
"I don't know, and not giving you a
short answer. I don't care," returned
Isabelle.
"Gus Marvin!" ' '
"The owner of Heartsease? Oh, Mar
jory!" said Isabelle. breathlessly.
"The gentleman himself," answered
Miss Ellis, bitterly.
"But you don't care. Marjory, you
were determined not to marry him,
oven 5f your father and his had made
such an arrangement when you were
babies." said Elizabeth slyly.
"But I didn't know he would be so
handsome." moaned Marjory, disconso
lately;" and he liardlr looked at me at
all."
It was three days after the imnromn-
tu ducking, and
Mnrjory was pouring
tea on the lawn attended by Isabelle
and Elizabeth, her school-friend visi
tors. "Marjory." said Isabelle. gushingly,
"you aiv adorable in an apron. You
would make a lovely maid."
"An idea. I've an idea!" said Marjory
clapping her dimpled hands.
"No? The first one you've ever had,
isn't it?" said Elizabeth, conveying a
big. golden olive to her roy lips."
"Hush! don't be ridiculous. I really
mean it. Girls. I'm in love with Gus
Marvin. No joking. I'm in sober earn
est. Now. I'm afraid if he meets me
when he calls, as probably he will con
descend to do evei.tiially, he will recog
nize me as the leader of our moist es
capade of the other day. and will be

lv. "What do vn:i think nf m- nlanv
and she gazed proudly about at her
friends, who. in absolute horror and
amazement, were regarding her atten
tively, as though in doubt as to her
i sanity.
t'us Marvin banged into the library in
' a beastly bail humor.
In the first place, the weather was
abominable, and in the second place, he'j
hail been oblined lo drive across the j
country for a dozen miles in an open
trap: and ktVi. but not least. Bess, his
favorite mare, had gone lame on Hie
way. and there was no telling when .
she would recover. Hence yon will see
that he had every excuse for his ill
temper. "I'reat Scott!'" he ejaculated, as he
paused in the center of the big room.
l And he gave vent to a low whistle of
j astonishment as he contemplated the
unusual aspect of the usually gloomy
apartment.
On the hearth a bright, cozy, crack
ling lire was blazing, not at all resem
bling the smoking, sooty affair which he
was in the habit of anathematizing
every evening.
This in itself was perplexing, but
' there was more. Drawn tip to one
side of the fire-place was a snowy tea-
, table laid with sparkling glass and
flashing silver, the candles burning
I cheerfully, anil chasing away the gray
shafts of gloomy daylight which pene
trated the corner. A shining samovar
hissed appetizinsly. and the fragrant
odor of spicy oolong greeted his nos
trils. "I wonder what has come over old
MargotV he thought, as he divested
himself of bis soaked mackintosh and
ensconced himself in his favorite chair,
which was dmfvn up to the fire in read
iness for him.
"Bring along the stuff: lni as hungry .
as a bear!" he called as the door gently j
swung open.
"Oh!"
This was an Involuntary exclamation
ns a slim, prettily rounded little figure
appeared before him, and. with a re
spectful courtesy, proceeds to busy
two dimpled, sun-bronzed hands among
the dclier.te china.
- At last, when a steaming cup of tea
had been poured out and presented to
him bv this charming new maid, he
recovered himself to the extent of say
ing: "Would you inind telling me who you
are;
"Betsey, the new maid, sir," with an
other low courtesy.
It had nover occurred to Gus before.
but he now decided that Betsey was a. 'j
very pretty name, especially when be
longing to a rosy-cheeked, blue-eyed'
lassie with long black lashes.
Gus felt a sudden happiness permeate
his being. The old place would not be
half so lonely if this charming vision
was to stay there and anticipate his
wants.
This happiness deepened as the days,
slipped away, and he became accus
tomed to be waited upon by the
dainty maiden. He never recognized
her as the sailor girl he had rescued
that blustery morning.
He began to have a half guilty feel
ing about the return of his father and
mother from their summer sojourn iu
Europe. He did not want to think of
his little maid waiting on any one else,
even lus beloved parents.
And then all of a sudden one early
autumn day. Frank Weston, his old col-
'. lege chum, descended unannounced up-
'on him as tap stood smoking and talk
ing to Betsey on the slue porcn.
."Hello, old fellow." said Frank, as.
he came up the steps. "Why this must
be Miss Ellis!" with a surprised glance
at the coquettish mite of a cap, and.
the snowy apeon.
Gus turned to her in amaremeut.
only to see a vivid blush creep over
her fair white fliroat, and ihen she ran
into the house wiithout a word for
Frank, with whom she had flirted all
through a cotillon one evening the piv
ious winter.
Gus could not understand the mystery
and thought Fran must be mistaken in
insisting that Betsey, the maid, wis the
wealthy Miss Ellis, but at luneJiioon be
found a tiny note of explanaition 011
his plato from Betsey, alias Marjory
Ellis, in which the jewel of a maid
resigned htr position, and asked for a
reco.nmeqdatiou.
A" recoarmendation.. indeed." he mut
tered as he read the apologetic little
note: "I will go over inunediatHy and
bring ber back, under promise ot pro
motion to housekeener-in-cbtfef."
And regardless of poor Fratiit. he
started immediately for Greyfcliff. and i
stayed until Marjory had promise! to
accept the promotion, and resivne her
duties in tsiting care of Mr. Ararviiu
or "Dear Gus." as she now called .hiw.

quite interested to read in a ew loric
paper recently that a party of explor
ers in Palestine has discovered a huge
he.ip of bones, which, from th'ir size
and quantity, are sup-posed to be of the
children which HercUl ordered killed.
They were found in .i cave, Avhich had
been closed for cent.ttries. which ac
counts for their preservation."
"Indeed!" replied one of the clergy
men, much interested. "I hid not heard
of it. Tt is certainly a surprising dis
covery." "Yes." continued the drummer, "and,
oddly ftnough, while nearly halt" the
bones aao bleached white, the rest were
as black" as ebony."
"RemaEkablo." ejaculated the clergy
man, wbo had already spoken, wlnlo
the other" looked at the drummer sus
piciously. "What is your theory." he continued.
"Do you think It possible that the
bleached bones couM be of males, and
the black of females?"
"Possibly." replied -the more commu
nicative clergyman. "I am not an an
atomist. However, and can't say what
effects long exposure Lias on the bones
of the sexes."
"And you." persisted the drummer
to the other. "What is your opinion?
Do you think it possible that the white
bones belong to mal infants and the
black to female, or vico versa? That Is
the problem that now excites the dis
coverers." "Heally." replied the other. "1 don't
know. but. possibly, us you first put it,
the white bones may be of the male
children, and the black of the female."
Shortly after this the clergymen
reached their destination and left the
train. Just as it was about- moving off,
the drummer who had been chuckling
to himself the meanwhile, t'arust into
the hand of one a card, upon which,
was written the words:

FRANCE'S COLORS.

to He elerfeil. j
Some 70 or SO years before France
was involved in the flames of the revo
lution that is. at the epoch of the war
of the Succession, when she was in
close alliance with Spain and Havana
it was thought desirable to distinguish,
the allied soldiers b. a cockade, which,
combined the colors of the three na
tionsthe white of France, the red of."
Spain, md the blue of Hawiria. .
lo none ot these uienieius However. :
would it be wis.' to attribute the orient J
or tiie Historic tricolor ami coeK-nh-
adopted by revolutionary France. Au !
the outset there seemed a IiKeiihootf
that green, which ('ainill- Desmouliiis
had populorized at the I'ulais lloy.il.
would have become the national color:
but men remembered in lime that ir.
was of ine livery of ine '"unite d'Arto! .
the most unpopular of the loiiriou
princes, and it was thereupon discard
ed. A proposition was then made to as
sume the colors of the city of Paris
blue and red. as Duma reminds us
in his "Six Ans Apres." To these was
added the "white" of so many glorioiu
memories, because it had always been
selected by the national guard always
faithful to the throne and its traditions.
Not until some months after the cap
ture of the Bastile was the tricolor defi
nitely adopted, when Bailly and Lafay
ette presented it to Louis XVI.. in the
great hall of the Hotel de Ville. and the
convention issued a decree in which ir.
was described as consisting of three col
ors "disposces en trois bandes egales.

"He was the best surveyor and.
draughtsman in my employ," said a
well known civil engineer of this city
a few days ago, referrinfg to-ja man
whom he had just discharged. "1 dis

I again learning mat. ne was. continuing
tbe practice, I was obliged to uischarge

I asked the gentleman to explain
what he meant by "keeping a private
note book." '
"A surveyor," said Oie, "in doing al,, rauc irei

as is not necessary for tne arawing or
his plans, but alsc iqrcldpntally that,
which may aid him in the case of any
li other survey being made later on.
S "This data, yew see. really constitutes
I a sort of capital or stook in trade, for if
I tho party owning the land ever wishes
another survey of it Ibr any purpose he
will naturally apply to that same sur
veyor, who having these old memor
anda, can do the wrjik easier and more
cheaply than any -other surveyor.- Of
ten times, after mbny years ha vq elaps
ed and old landmarks have, passed
away, those minutes become Verv val
uable, t
"Consequently a civil engineer always
wishes to keep these in his own hands,
and men in his emjiloy are not allowed
to make cojdes of minutes of surveys
which they mabQ -while ;n his employ.
Otherwise, an old employe, in leaving
and setting .in in business for himself,
could carry away a largo slice of his
employer's businessi.
