The many, who live bet* ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the'needs of physical being, will attest die value to health of the pure, liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is dne to its presenting la the form most acceptable and pleasant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect laxative ; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers ana permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because' it acts on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels without Weakening them and it is perfectly free from , every objectionable substance. Byrap of Figs is for sale by all druggists in 60c andfl bottles, bnt it is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered. . The Greatest Medical Discovery of the Age. KENNEDY’S MEDICAL DISCOVERY. DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, MASS., Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures every kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple. He has tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases (both thunder humor). He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates pf Its value, all within twenty miles of Boston. A benefit Is always experienced from the first bottle, and a'perfect cure is warranted when tne right quantity is taken. When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; tne same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being . stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking It. If the stomach is foul or bilious ft will tause squeamish feelings at first. No change of diet ever necessary. Eat the best you can get, and enough of it. Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bedtime. Read the Label. Send for Book. It is very difficult

To Remove Tattoo Marks. There have been many operations and applications recommended for the removal of these disfigurements, but most of them are either very painful or entirely unsuccessful in achieving the result desired. A new procedure is recommended by fPaschkis, who would remove the tattooing or pigmentation of the skin by a sort of counter tattooing. The remover used by him has been baryta white, stained to the color of the surrounding skin by the proper admixture oi browns and reds. An artist with a good eye for colors would be successful in this operation. A method described in the Pharmaceutical Era involves a new principle, viz.: the digestion of the subcutaneous pigments by papoid. The tattooed part is well washed wit® soap and water, a bunch of six or eight cambric needles bound together with silk thread is dipped in glycerine of papoid and driven wth a sharp blow tho tattooed part. This is repeated over tho entire slain and must bo thorough to beeffective, and a peculiarity of the method Is said to he that it causes no inflammatory reaction. The digestive principle of the papoid is disseminated about the

deposit es pigment, thus liberating it, a portion is absorbed In a finely divided state by the lymphatics, another part probably finds its way into the upper layers of the epidermis ana close to the surface, and hi this manner the pigment disappear*. Do Yon Know Her? The most salient point in Mrs. Biand's character Is her capacity for forgetting. She makes an engagement with you to day and forgets it to-moyrow. When reminded of her uelinquency she is profuse In apologies; she is so sorryl Will not some other time do as well? She borrows of you from five cents to five dollars and “forgets” to repay you—a thing which is her bus ness to remember. She asks you to please get her a lace jabot like yours, or. “since you are tgohig to the store,” to purchase a few articles for her, but never offers you the money, and would be highly offended if, knowing her of old, you retuse to get them until she does so. She cannot tell a story accurately to save her life; and if you, at the end of your patience, perhaps, are impolite enough to trip her up on her statements, her cheerful, “Well, it’s a trifle anyway,” co,wu'"you into silence. As for depending upon her to act in accordance with her own previous arrangements—why; she has “changed her mind” without the formality of letting you know. You might as well rely on the immobility of an eel or try to pick up quicksilver with your fingers. To be “slippery in money matters” is among business men a disgrace. The undependable woman thinks of it as an amiable weakness, if she thinks of it at all. Sfie pays her butcher, her baker, and her candlestick-maker if she has the change just then; il noh she doesn’t. When you try to sell her tickets for the church fair she is enthusiastic over the project and takes a couple right away, but doesn’t pay frr them at the time, nor the next time you call, nor the next, nor when you write—until in mortification you pay for them out of your own pocket tend charge the money in your account book to “one lesson in human nature.” And, oddly enough, she knows nothing of her unenviable reputation, but goes on her wav smiling, unconscious of the execrations she leaves in her train. Mongols of Ko-ko Nor. Our road first lay through the district inhabited by the agricultural tribes on the frontier. Then we entered the country occupied by the Mongols of the Ko-ko Nor. The pasture there was the richest I have seen in any part of Thibet: but an idyllic pastoral life is by no means practiced by the inhabitants. Brigandage is the general profession. The young men spend their time either in making raidson travelers and on the encampments of their tribes, by which means they mostly acquire their cherished horses, or in practicing the art of warfare. I witnessed a military tournament, at which some riders at full gallop fired one after another at a small given mark. These Mongols are tall and tierce looking, though they proved amiab e when friendly. The men shave their heads. Both men and women dress in a gown of sheepskin, girded round the waist, high boots of felt and skin, bound below the knee with a leathern strap or cotton garter, and long white felt coats, which they wear over the sheepskins when it rains. Their Summer bat is of white felt, in shape something like the top hat worn by the old Welsh market women. The cap they wear in winter is of white astrakhan, shaped like a sugar loaf, with a red and green cotton brim. The women dress theirhair in little plaits, more than a hundred, caught together at the ends in a wide band of colored cloth, which is embroidered with gay silks and gold thread, and studded with coral and turquoise, silver coins and brass buttons, which they get from Lhassa. The tents are round; the inner sides of trellis-work, the top of wooden ribs, giving an umbrella shape, and tho whole covered with white felt, with an a: erture for a small door of wood, and a hole in the roof to let out the smoke.—The National Review. Sentiment and Chicken. A man 1 knew kept fowls for the table—pure Dorkings. As they grew plumper every day he would take a basket? with food in it, scatter it among them, and sigh deeply. After a few days of this, with a mournful countenance he would give the order for a couple to be placed in the fitting coop: then, when he had satisfied himself that they were just right, he would sena for a man to wring their necks, giving him a shilling for the job, and while the deed was doing he would go off on a long walk. His'wife and daughters were as tenderhearted as he was; it ran in the family. Yet the servants always noticed that, whatever they might eat or leave on the dinner table, they invariably finished up the fowls. This was, possibly, on the same principle as actuated one of the kings of the Cannibal Islands, who ate his grandfather out of respect.—Macmillan’s Magazine. She Needed It. A middle-aged woman called at the chern st’s shop the other evening and asked to be served with morphine, and the assistant replied to her request with: “Is it for your husband, madam?" “Oh, no. sir, I haven’t one.” “You don’t think of committing suicide?” “Far from it.” “What do you want it for?” “Must 1 tell, sir." “You must,” “Well, then, don’t you think that a woman 40 years old, who has had her first offer of marriage less than a year ago, naturally wants something to quiet her nerves and give her a good night’s sleep?" The chemist thought so and she got her nerve-soother. —London Telegraph. • Telephoning from Ship to Shore. The lighthouse board has demonstrated that telephone iximmunication may be established from the shore to vessels near shore.

Indestructible I’a'nt. A German chemist has invented and perfected a process which, it is claimed, will revolutionize) the method of docorating buildings as at proaent followed. The moat Important feature of the process is that it is applied in as simple a form, and at as inexpensive a cost, as common house paint, and ia an readily applicable to inside walla and ceilings. From a sanitary point of view the new medium forms one of the most important advances of tho times. Once applied, the fresco coating ia said to be almolutely indestructible, being unaffected by temperature or chemicals. It is impervious to damp, and will admit of an indefinite amount of scrubbin" and cleaning. Walls and ceilings tnus treated can lie rendered free from disease germs by washing with acids. The Smart Little Boy. Teacher Now, dear children, as you nave been good to-day, I’ll give you a conundrum to answer. It is this: “When wo are young we want to have it and when we have got it, we no longer have, any use for it." Tommy I know what it is. “What is it. Tommy?” “It is a wife.” “Who told you that was tho answer?” “I heard my father say so.” Teacher (thoughtfully) That Is not bo far out ot the way, after all, but tho answer I meant was maturity. When we are young we want to be older and when we have attained age wo no longer want it. but as your father remarked, Tommy, it is the same with a wife. Tho class is dismissed.- Texas Hittings. . ICngliKh Mourning Ettqnet. The period of mourning for a father-in-law is twelve months ten months black, two months, half mourning; crepe is seldom worn, although the erepe period was formerly six months. Fora parent the period is the same as above. Tho longest period for a brother is six months live months black, one month half mourning. The crepe period was formerly three mouths; it is now almost discarded. The shortest period is four months black, no half mourning. We may remark that the period of mourning for a father-in-law is often shortened to six months when relatives reside at a considerable distance from each other, — London Times. Underground Canal Sixteen Miles Ix>ng. The canal between Worsley and St. Helena, in North England, is probably the longest and most remarkable canal of the kind in the world. It is sixteen miles long and is underground from one end to tho other. Many years ago the managers of tho Duke of Bridgewater's estate filled its old mines with water that they might transport the coal under ground instead of on the surface. Ordinary canal boats are used, the pow.er being furnished by the men. The tunnel arch over the canal is provided with cross pieces, and the men propel the boats along as they lie on their backs on the loads of coal. — Pittsburgh Dispatch. Catehing Stray Dogs with Lariats. Poundmaster Creech and his deputies were astir early this morning. The deputies were two colored men who evidently were adepts in the business of dog catching. The way t hey lassoed the curs was a sight worth witnessing. In most cities scoop nets are employed for this purpose, but the dog catchers of Butte are graduates of tho plains, and instead of the net a piece of rope is employed. Standing several yards away, they deftly throw the coiled rope at a cur, and before the latter realizes his danger he is entangled in the lariat — Butte Inter Mountain. • He Got a Place Near the Furnace. He had been talking with St. Peter, and was sent down to the other gate, where he was warmly welcomed. “Why are you here?” asked the fallen angel who stood guard. “I don’t know,” he replied. “I never did any wrong. I nevei- said an unkind thing about a person in my life. ” Then the angel smiled. “That’s all right,” he said, “come in. You will find the cage for the hypocrites at the end of the lower corridor next to the furnace.” Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that tout aim Mercury* Ab mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely der&uge the whole system • when entering it through the mucous surfaces.

Prof. Gross, a leading scientist, says: “Catarrh is a constitutional disease which manifests Itself by local symptoms." Dr. Dio Lewis says: “Catarrh is not a disease of the man’s nose; it Is a disease of the man." Therefore be says snuffs and other loaal applications are useless. Second —It requires a constitutional. remedy, like Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which reaches and cures Catarrh by purifying the blood and building up the system. a so as to throw off the disease.

To fttob a Trolley Car Instantly. A Rochester man has devised a plan by which a trolley street ear can be stopped almost instantaneously, or within a space of throe feet., while the car is going at full sp«j<xl. His device is operated by a lever in the motorman'scab. It is, generally speaking, a steel shoo, upon which the rear wheels of the car ride, the under side of which is corrugated sous to produce groat friction upon the rails of tho track. On the top of tho shoe is an arrangement which, as soon as the wheel rises upon tho shoe, clamps the outer rim of the wheel and at the same time grasps the inner edge of the rail. Tho simple weight of the ear crowds down the shoe upon the rail and at the same time clamps together, as in a vice, the wheel and the rail; and all this by a single movement on the juirt of the motorman. Howed a Straight Furrow. It is related ot ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown that once when ho was Judge of the Superior Court be had occasion to fine a man who years before was a neighbor to the Judge in the days of his struggle with poverty. The irate farmer came out of the court-room swearing like a trooper, and the first opportunity he had. said to the Judge: “Jedge, I don't think you orter fined me. I knowed ye in the days when you had to plow a little bull fora livin'.” “Yes,” replied tho “Jedge,” “but I always made it my business to keep the little bull in the row!”— Chattanooga News. On One Condition. John had been going to see Mary for some time, aud was now getting down to business, as he explained. After telling her of Pis scanty income and the size of the lot -the very small lot —he wanted her to share, he asked: •fCan you sew, dearest?” “A little,” “And cook?” “Oh, yes.” Ho was delighted. She would be a perfect treasure. Then he asked airily in the Way of a final argument: “Cau you keep house'?” “I can.” she said looking him over, “on certain conditions.” “Name them, dearqst.” “I must have a house to keep.” And another man's hopes were crushed. New Fire Engine. A St. Paul engineer has just completed a model of a new electric fire engine, a patent for which will shortly be obtained, that seem destined to work a revolution in lire extinguishing apparatus. It does away with the use of coal, and can he put in action with one horse, and one man less than the engines now in use. The engine weighs but 4,500 pounds, and is of 70 horse power. This makes the machine weigh 9,000 to 10,000 pounds less than the apparatus now in use while its efficiency is claimed to be much greater. The Life LineIt is evidently a veteran sailor who makes the suggestion that, as a vessel always goes ashore to leeward, and the lifeline shot, from the shore must therefore be fired against the wind, and with all the difficulties which this implies, every vessel should carry a supply of rockets, which attached to deep-sea log line aud signal-halliards, would connect them much more speedily with the shore. Signaling at Night. A fire balloon is a recent invention for signaling by night. The balloon is made of paper, is portable, and is- inflated by burning spirits or even straw or wood. When ready to ascend a message string is appended. This is made of combustible beads strung at intervals on a piece of quick match. Different combinations of largo and small beads are used to express the signals. ■ An Animal Worth Having. “Tom,to lookat that dog you'd think ho didn't know nothin’, but he's worth more’n a dollar a day to me durin’ crab season.

“August Flower” “ For two years I suffered terribly with stomach trouble, and was for all that time under treatment by a physician. He finally, after trying everything, said my stomach was worn out, and that I would have to cease eating solid food. On the recommendation of a friend I procured a bottle of August Flower.
