Leschetizky, the famous teacher of
the piano in Vienna, often brightens
his talk with reminiscence. "I al
ways practiced a piece with six dried
peas," he said to one pupil. "When
I began I would lay the six peas on
the piano rack side by side. Then
when I had played the piece through
perfectly, or a part of it, I would put
one of the peas in my pocket. And so
X would go tin until 1 had played it
through perfectly six times in sue- j
cession and all the peas were in my !
pockets. But if I made a single mis- j
take, say in the third playing or the
fourth playing, I would put tho six I
peas on the rack and begin all over
again. Whoever practices with six
dried peas is sure to play as well as
he can."—Ladies' Home Journal.

Eyes Like Telescopes.
It has often been remarked that
civilized people tend to become short
sighted. This is because in towns and
cities their vision is mostly confined
to short distauces. Savage races, on
the other baud, are generally gifted
with remarkably keen sight, and few
tribes are more noteworthy in this re
spect than the African Bushmen,
whose eyes are veritable telescopes.
This power is, says a writer, no doubt
a wise provision of nature, for the
Bushmen are a small race, and if they
were not able to see danger a long
way off they would soon be extermi
nated by their various enemies,
whether savages of other tribo3 or
wild beasts.
A traveler in South Africa relates
that while walking one day in com
pany with a friendly Bushman, the
savage suddenly stopped, and, gazing
across the plain, cried out that there
was a lion jihead. The traveler gazed
long and earnestly in the direction in
dicated by the Bushman, but could see
nothing. "Nonsense," he said,
"there's nothing there." And he went
forward again, with the Bushman fol
lowing at his heels, trembling and un
willing, and still asserting that he
could see a lion.
Presently the native came to a dead
stop, and refused to budge another
inch; for this time, he declared, ho
could see a lioness with a number of
cubs, a fact which made tbo animal
more dangerous than ever. But the
European, who could see no lioness,
much less its cubs, pushed ahead, de
' claring the Bushman was dreaming.
After walking a quarter of a mile, how
ever, he could dimly make out an ob
ject moving ucross the horizon. Still
doubting that it could be the object
! which the Bushman said be had seen,
he contiuued to advauce, and at last
was able to distinguish a liouess, with
her cubs around her, walkiug leisurely
toward the woods.—Pall Mall Ga
zette.
Make* of Itare Hirtls.
In these times, when such rarities
as the egg of the extinct great auk are
constantly chauging bauds, the prices
running into the hundreds of pounds,
it is interesting to learn that there is
in Paris a man who makes an excel
lent living by manufacturing the eggs
of rare birds and selling them to pub
lic institutions and amateurs of orni
thology. He seems to be a workman
of exceeding skill. A visitor actually
saw him make a penguin's egg that
could not bo distinguished from tlie
genuine model displayed before him.
The shell was made of plaster of pans,
which after being cast was hardened
by burning and then glazed. Another
of his methods is to turn the eggs of a
common species into those of a rarer
one. For instance, the eggs of a com
mon fly-catcher are almost worthless,
but treated with chemicals they ac
quire the bluish-green, shining color
of the high-priced eggs of the silk
tail. A common duck egg is stained
a silvery green and is then passed oil
as the egg of a falcon, which is worth
from $8 to §lO. Pigeons' and wood
pigous' eggs are also easily trans
formed into the eggs of scarce birds.
The ordinary lark's egg, colored a
dusty brown, becomes the egg of the
nightingale, which is difficult to pro
cure and therefore very expensive.
The Origin of Writing.
The origin of writing is a subject
tbat has much exercised the learned of
late, and Professor Houimel, of Mun
ich, lias communicated to the Society
of Biblical Archaeology some further
proofs of his theory that the Egyptian
hieroglyphics were imported from
Babylonia, where picture-writing is
known to have preceded the cunei
form. In the discussion which followed
the reading of Professor Hommel's
paper, the Rev. C. J. Ball, chaplain of
Lincoln's Inn and a distinguished
Babyloniau scholar, said that he had
QO doubt that the ancient Babylonian
picture-characters were the origin of
the Egyptian hieroglyphics and of the
Chinese characters as well. As these
three scripts, the Babylonian, the
Egyptian and the Chinese, are im
measurably older than any other yet
discovered—and Mr. Bull is generally
held to have proved his case so far as
Chinese is concerned—we may look
upon the ; Babylonians as the first in
ventors of the art of putting thoughts
on paper.—Pall Mall Gazette.
Honors to a Monkey.
A lady of Sharon, Mass., buried her

coffin lid fcoTe the name "Peppo." A
handsome monument will be erected

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 CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. onl3 T , 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 CALIFORNIA FIG 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 CALI
FORNIA FIG 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

Important Charge to a Jury.
Judge Monks, of the Supreme
Court of Indiana, Judge Wright, Su
preme Court of Now York, and Judge
Woodward, of Luzerne County, Penn
sylvania, are said to ka\e concurred
in the opinion that grand juries are
legally able to indict Boad Commis
sioners who fail to keep the roads of
their districts in good and proper
order.
Judge Wright said, in charging a
grand jury at Bome, N. Y., "Every
Commissioner of Highways is answer
able if he fails to perform his duties
properly, and all who are guilty of
criminal neglect should be punished.
It is your—the grand jury's—duty to
inquire into the conduct of public
officers and bring bills against any
guilty of criminal neglect. It will be
your duty, gentlemen, wherever the
old labor system prevails, to seo that
the Commissioners do their duty faith
fully."
Continuing, he said that the people
of Oswego County are helping to pay
for their good roads in other counties
of tho State which have taken advan
tage of tho Higbie-Armstroug law.
Fifty per cent, of the cost of the con
struction of a road is paid by State
taxation, thirty-five by the county in
which the road is located, and fifteen
per cent, by tho petitioners for the
improvement. He then explained the
Fuller law, which provides that a cer
tain per centage of the cost of high
way improvements in towns adopting
the money system is paid by the
State. In this country the residents
of the several road districts work out
their tax.
Oswego County was paying its share
for the improvements to roads in
other counties of tho State that have
adopted the system named, and a
careful inquiry should be made to as
certain if the Highway Commissioners
and Fathmasters of Oswego County
were honestly discharging their duties
here.—Oswego Daily Palladium.
Clcnu Koad Metal.
A principle learned from Mac Adam
was that "broken stone, p~?.sed and
j compacted, would cohere together and,
! by the mutual friction of its parts,
: bear and distribute heavy pressures
i as well as if it actually were the smooth
and solid slab it seems." But when
I earth is mixed with the stone the fric-
I tiou is reduced by nearly one-half, tho
| material is less compact and firm and
I is much less capable of bearing heavy
loads. Moisture affects the volume of
' clay. Roads in which it is used rut
badly in wet weather, even though
they are very thick, while thinner
roads in which it is not used, but in
which the stones are pressed together
by their own augles through adequate
rolling, remain firm and smooth. Road
metal should he clean, and free from
clay. The use of clay is attractive,
because, with it, light rolling seems
to give a good smooth surface, hut
this is only temporary and is unsatis
factory and expensive in the end.—
L. A. W. Bulletin.
A Good Example.
An enterprising paper iu an Illinois
city offers to donate SIOOO to tho cause
of road improvement "in order to se
cure hard roads for the benefit ot the
farmers" of the county and for the
city in which it is published. Tho
sum of SIOO will he given on the com
pletion of one mile of gravel road on
each of ten roads, on the following
terms:
"This amount of SIOO shall be due
and payable to the Commissioners of
Highways of the township in which
said one mile of road is located for the
particular purpose above mentioned
when one mile has been completed
from the city limits of the city on
each road respectively. Tho one mile
on each read must be built in a sub
stantial manner, of good material,
• under the supervision of competent
engineers, and must be completed
within three years from January 1,
1899, and under specifications agreed
on by three practical Lard road au
thorities."
Improving Now Jersey Highway*.
The annual report of tho Commis
sioner of Public Roads in New Jersey
shows a gratifying continuance of the
good work of improving tho high
ways. Since the passage of the State
aid law there have been built 325
miles of road at a cost of $505,820.
Tho economy to the farmer in hauling
products to railway or market is clear
ly demonstrated, and tho profit to the
community at large of this investment
of public money may bo studied to ad
vantage by the Legislatures of other
States. The report directs especial
attention to the experiment that is to
be made of laying steel roads for heavy
traffic, as suggested by Secretary Wil
son, of tho Department of Agriculture.
The progress of New Jersey in road
building has earned in particular the
approval and appreciation of bicyclists,
who can now wheel with comfort from
New York to Philadelphia.

AN EXCELLENT COMBINATION. I
SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE BASED ON
MERITS.
The Importance of lniormlng the Public
ol tlie Value of an Art.cle Through
lite Leurilng; Newspapers.
The few remedies which have attained to
wide-world fame, as truly beneficial iu ef
fect and giving sutiafactlou to millions of
people everywhere, tire the products of
the knowledge of the most eminent phy
sicians, and presented in the form most
acceptable to the human system by the
skiil of the world's great chemists: and one
of tho most successful examples is the
Syrup or Figs manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Svrup Co. Unlike' a host of
imitations and cheap substitutes, Syrup of
Figs is permanently benetioial in its effects,
and therefore lives and promotes good
health, while inferior preparations are be
ing cast aside ana forgotten. Iu olden
times if a remedy gave temporary relief to
Individuals here and there, it was thought
good, but liow-n-dnys a laxative reni"<ly
must give satisfaction to all. If you have j
never used Syrup of Figs, give it a trial;
you will bo pleased with it, and rec
ommend it to your friends or to any who :
suffer trom constipation, over-feeding,
colds, headaches, biliousness, or other ills 1
resulting from an inactive condition of the ,
kidneys, liver and bowels.
In the prove.-.s of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
California Fig Syrup Co., and named
Syrup of Figs, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste; but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained from '
an excellent combination of plants known
to te medicinally laxative and to act most i
beneficially. As the true and original
remedy, named Svrup of Figs, is manufac- i
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co. J
only, a knowledge of that fact will assist
in avoiding the worthless imitations manu
factured by other parties. The Company j
has selected for years past the leading pub
licatious of the United states through which
to iuform the public of the merit* of Its
remedy.
Greece liars die Theater Hat.
The first official act of M. Trianto- ; \
phyllacos, the Grecian minister of the j ,
Interior, was to issue an order forbid- !
ding the wearing of hats at any theat
rical representation. This met with
unanimous approval from the men and ;
a storm of protests from the women. ,
One of Athens' leaders of fashion ap
peared at the theater a short time ago
with her luxuriant tresses crowned 1
with a very minute bonnet. The of- j
fleer on duty politely called her atten
tion to the printed notices forbidding
the wearing of hats, and she was j
obliged to remove the objectionable '
headgear, all the while vowing to be
revenged. The next evening the wom
an arrived at the theater bonnetless,
but her hair was arranged In such a
manner that it was little short of a
monument on top of her head. Those
of the spectators behind her deeply
regretted that the law had not also i
forbidden monstrosities of the hair- |
dresser's ait.
