THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CarLirorNiA Fie Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CavirorNia Fie Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par-
ties. The high standing of the Carr
roRNIA Fie Syrup Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken-
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company —

HER DECISION,
The Problem Was a Perplexing One, But She
Settled it Speedily.
In charming Indecision she gazed at
the two portraits, The uncertainty in
ner heart clouded her eyes just enough
to soften and render more bewitching
their splendor,
“Which shall # be?’ she murmured.
From one to the other of the ple-
tures her glance wandered, Now her
countenance would for a moment
beam with the joy of a settled choles,
only to darken again in a moment with
perplexity.
“It I could only say which one!
A sigh fluttered within the tender
bosom and escaped {rom the rosy
lips.
“Will is dark. 1 love dark men.”
She clasped her hands and raptu*-
ously scrutinized the nearest portrait,
“But Henry Is noble aud good.
A faint flush crept into her cheeks,
Her thoughts were with the other pie
ture,
“One of them 1 must marry.”
Rising to her feet she paced the
floor nervously, It was a life's hap
piness that hung trembling in the bal
ance,
“I am sure that both men love me
with all their hearts.”
Hand was pressed in hand, until the
bloed forsook the taper fingers wito
the frantic pressure,
“Both of them—but stay.”
It was a startled look that flashed
“Yes, ves it is surely so.”
Relief succeeded anxiety, and a
smile of sweet content flittered abomt
her lips,
“If I marry Will, Henry"
She leaned forward fondly
the portraits.
“Henry will give me a wedding
present. If 1 marry Henry, I just
know Will would be huffy and never
give me a thing."
She pondered a moment in silence.
“Yes,” she softly whispered at jast,
“I shall marry WIL"

A Kissing Nation.
In no other part of the world is kiss

From time immemorial it has been the

mustaches kiss; whole regiments Kiss

On a holiday or fete day the young
and delicnte mistress of a house wil
not only kiss all her maid servants
but all ker men servants, too, and |
the gentleman does not venture abov:
her hand, she will stoop and kiss his
cheek.
To judge, also, from the number o
salutes, the matrimonial bond In thes
high circles must be one of uninter

enters or leaves the room without kiss

TALKS A HOLE IN A BOARD.
———
Edison's Latest Javention Makes the Old
Jocular Saying Come True.
Mr. Edison has devised an lpstru-
ment for talking a hole through a
plank, says the Washington corres-
pondent of the Boston Traascript.
This sounds like a joke, but it is a
fact, nevertheless, and it affords one
of the most interesting illustrations of
the power of sound waves, When the
wizard was In Washington 8 while
ago an examiner of patents spoke to
him casually on the subject, and,
struck by an inspiration, he sat down
and drew ua sketch of the apparatus in
question, which consiéls primarily of
an diaphragh, a ratchet and a toothed
wheel. When one talks to the dia-
phragm its vibration causes the wheel
to revolve, and through the familiar
contrivance called a “worm gear” a
gimlet is turned, which bores its way
through a board.
Indeed, the device here described
has been patented by Mr. Edison, but
not for the purpose above described.
It appears in the records of the patent
office as a contrivance for winding a
clock. All you have to do In order to
wind this sort of a clock—a class of
apparatus notoriously obstinate and
untrustworthy—is to storm at it a bit
ana call it some names. Without any
more to do the obedient timepiece
starts itself agoing, and is good for
twenty-four hours.
It has been suggested that Mr, Edi.
son's Invention for causing the human
voice to accomplish a boring might be
utilized to advantage in the congress
of the United States, where the loug
speeches of certain members would
serve not merely to wind the capital
clocks, but also to run much of the
elaborate machinery required to ven
tilate and otherwise manage the build.
ing occupied by the national legisla
ture. The Idea is susceptible to inde-
finite expansion, but it has remalned
for an Elkhart (Ind) man to conceive
a scheme of a vastly more remarkable
description. It may be sald of him
that he will exalt his horn far above
the rest of mankind, inasmuch as he
proposes at the Paris expo-
sition a tuba with a mouth diameter of
fifty feet. As he expresses it, he pro-
poses that all the before the
great French fair is over shall know
that he makes horns, The tuba will
be blown by a steam engine, and will
produce music audible at fifty miles,

ardous in the extreme, was finally de-
cided upon, rather than allow the pa-
tient to die by rupture of the sac and
bleeding to death. The patient being
cognizant of the fact, submitted to
the operation. After being anaesthet

from near the collar bone to about

can scarcely be got to show animation
enough to be decently killed. But one
bull that I saw yesterday was gplen-
didly savage, and fought almost to the
inst, running about the arena with the
sword between his shoulders, and that
great red line broadening down each
side of his neck on the black; like a
deep layer of red paint, one tricks
one's self into thinking.
He carried two swords In his neck,
and still fought; when at dast, he, t
got weary, and he went and knel
down before the door by which he had
entered, and would fight no more. But
they went up to him from outside the
“barrier and drew the swords out
of him: and he got to his feet again,
and stood to be killed.

.. AS the Queen's Bxpense.
The prince of Wales occasionally en-
joys a joke over the queen's propensi-
ty for giving away Indian shawls At
one Henly regatta he was on 4 steam
launch with a merry party, engaged in
scrutinizing the other craft om the
river. Their attention was especially
drawn to a boat containing a pleasure
party, che member of which was an
elderly lady bearing a remarkable re-
semblance to the queen, and she seem-
ed bent upon doing all in her power
to heighten the resemblance. One of
the company on board the launch ap-
proacied the prince and ventured to
draw his attention to the Iady in gques-
tion, jocularly suggesting that it was
the queen viewing the regatta incog.
Just as his royal highness was leveling
his fleld glass upon her, she rose, and
taking the shawl upon which she bad
been sitting, threw it about the shoul-
ders of the young girl who was with
her. “It is undoubtedly the queen”
replied the prince quietly: “I see that
she has just presented one of her In-
dian shawls.”
