The Eqziipmen? of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the scientific attainments of its chemists have rendered p&isible the production of Syrup of Fig3 and Elixir of Senna, in all of its excellence, by obtaining the pure medic inal principles of plants known to act most beneficially and combining them most skillfully, in the right proportions, -with its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of California Figs. As there is only one genuine Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna and as the genuine is manufactured by an original method known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the genuine to get its beneficial effects. A knowledge of the above facts enables one to decline imitations or to return them if, upon viewing the package, the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found printed cn the front thereof.

A Whistler Jlorjr. Charles L. Freer of Detroit Is America's leading collector of Whistler's paintings, among Sir. Freer's treasures being the famous Feacock room decorations from the dining rooom of the Leyland house In London. Sir. Freer is also a collector of "Whistler anecdotes, one of which he told me at :i recent dinner. "Whistler," he said, "once undertook to get a fellow painter's work into the autumn Salon. He succeeded, and the picture was hung. "Bui the painter, going to see his masterpiece with Whistler on varnishing day, uttered a terrible oath when he beheld it. "'Good gracious!' he groaned, you're exhibiting my picture upside down!' ' "'Hush.' said Whistler. 'The comn;ittee refused it the other way." More Information.

ICivil War StonesJ Allatoonn. The morning of October 5, 1SG3, dawned brightly. The Confederate army under Hood had advanced to the picket lines, and firing along th.? outposts warned Allatoona's defenders that deadly work was in store for them. The guards around the railload shed had been withdrawn to the forts on the hilltop, at the right and 'eft of the railroad. The first artillery practice from the fort on the left of the railroad, facing Atlanta, resulted in dismounting a Confederate battoryman and battery planted near the railroad by the Johnnies; then the bloody work of the day began. I do not wonder why the battl-3 of Allatoona has not been written up by some one of the survivors of that dreadful carnage which lasted from dawn till four o'clock in the afternoon. The great mistake of General Hood in attacking Allatoona is this: The Confederate scouts reported to Hood that there were but two or three regiments guarding the place and the million rations stored there, whereas there were two brigades of the best troops In the field that had quietly arrived in the night before the battle, and nobly did they resist the onward charges cf the Southern ho?ts and storming parties, until the leading Confederate officers were fully convinced that instead of two or three regiments a whole army of Union troops had in some mysterious manner, suddenly come to the rescue of Allatoona and the rations. The fact was that the troops coming from Rome, by order of General Sherman, for the defense of Allatoona just fooled Hood and the officers under him, and it was another George Washington military movement. The fore-' sight of General Sherman in ordering plenty of men to defend Allatoona proved one of the greatest galas to his success "through Georgia." And though the people of this age may never realize the Importance of the, defense of Allatoona," Ga.. I am sure the troops engaged in that defense will fully sustain me In the statement that had General Corse surrendered on account of the "useless effusion of blood," as General Hood expressed it, the "march through Georgia" would have been delayed many moons. I always admired General Sherman, and saw at once as I gazsd at him for the first time that he meant business; and what little of a warrior I ever had in my make-up was inspired in me by General W. T. Sherman; for I considered him all that man could desire as a soldier, and a man desperately determined to do all in his power to show to tbe world that the American army ns not a pack of bloodhounds, tut gentle and kind In peace, and, in war, furious and unrevengeful. That the whole Southern army, na--y and Confederate States were deceived in fighting the Government of the United States is exemplified In the terrible carnage of Allatoona. The troops under Hood were shamefully deceived, for there were too many troops defending the place, as they bitterly realized at the time. AVn Poor Tont A-CoM f "Vets" and those who like good word painting will enjoy this from the San Francisco Examiner; The night of Dec. 21. lSf3. was exceedingly cold In the vicinity cf Murfreesboro, Tenn. The first day's battle at Stone River had been fought, resultins in disaster to the Federal army, which had been driven from Its original ground at every point except its extreme left. The weary troops at that point lay behind a railway embankment, which had served them during the last hour3 of the fight as a breastwork to repel repeated charges of the enemy. Behind the line ol ground was open and rocky. Great bowlders lay about everywhere, and among them lay many of the Federal dead, where they had been carried out of the way. Before the embankment the dead of both armies lay greatly thicker, but they were not molested. It was not a dark night, being clear. Among the dead in the bowlders lay one whom nobody knew a Federal sergeant, shot directly in the center of tl.3 forehead. One of our surgeons, from idle curiosity, or possibly with a view to the amusement of a group of officers during a lull in the engagement (we needed something to divert our minds), had dropped his proce clean through the head. The body lay on Its back, it3 chin in the air, and with straightened limbs , as rigid as steel; frost on Its white face, and its beard and hair. Some Chrlsttaa sou! had covered it with a blanket, but when the night became pretty sharp a companion of the writer removed th;. and we lay beneath it ourselves. : With the exception of our pickets, who had been posted well In front of the embankment, every man lay silent. Conversation was forbidden; to have made a fire or even struck a match to light a pipe would have been a gravi offense. Stamping horses, moaning wounded everything that made a noise had been sent to the rear; the silence was absolute. Those whom the chill prevented from sleeping, nevertheless, reclined as they shivered, -r sat with their heads on their arm?, suffering, but making no sign. Every one had lost friends and all expected death on the morrow. These matters are mentioned to show the Improbability of any one going about during those solemn hour3 to commit a ghastly practical Joke. When the dawn broke the sky was still clear. "We shall have a warm day," the writer's companion whispered as we rose In the gray light; "let's give back the poor devil his blanket." The sergeant's body lay in the samo place, two yard3 away. But not In th3 same attitude. It was upon its right side. The knees were drawn up nearly to the breast, both hrnds thrust to the wrists between the buttons of th; jacket, the cellar of which was turn d up, concealing the ears. The shoulders were elevated, the head wa3 retracted, tho chin rested on the collar one, the posture was that of one suffering from Intense cold. But for what had been previously observed but for the ghastly evidence of the bullet-hole one would have sworn the man had frozen to death. Dear 3X other. I was in Company II. One Hundred and Forty-eighth Xew York Volunteers. Eighteenth Army Corps, and among the skirmishers at early dawn June 3, 18G4, at Cold Harbor, Va. My brigade (WIstar'tj) charged "en masse" and

if

was repulsed, as indeed was the whole Army of the Potomac. After our repulse we were ordered to fortify.

A battery of artillery in our rear was firing over our heads, its objective being a point of tho enemy's works;. Suddenly an explosion occurred, enveloping our whole righc with powder smoke, hurtling iron, and dust. As the air cleared we know that a shell from the battery In our rear had burst just over us, either by mistake or faulty manufacture. Some one said it had killed a man In the next company. Passing along Into and among the next company, I saw a fine-lcoking young may lying partly against the breastwork, apparently unconscious. His uniform was torn from his left breast and left arm, and his flesh, lacerated and torn, hung in shreds, exposing his ribs. I remember noting the pulsations of his heart as seen between the bare ribs. The surgeon was quickly called. lie came reluctantly, looked an Instant, and turned on his heel and retired. The murmuring of the rren became decidedly emphatic over his apparently brutal conduct. Soon the hospital steward appeared with a sponge and a bottle of colorless liquid. Saturating the sponge he held it to the unconscious soldier's nostrils. The brave heart soon ceased beating forever. A sheet of paper was in his hand, headed: "Cold Harbor, Va., June 3, 1SG4 Dear Mother." His comrades said they would send his unfinished letter to his mother, of whom he was thinking at the Instant he was scniiten down. Imagine her reception of that last letter, accompanied by the explanation of its unfinished state. Iii rioyi. There are tim?s when the so-called "red tape" cf the army gives way under the stress of circumstances. At tho battle of Chickamauga, Gen. Willich. who was commanding a brigade, incurred the displeasure of General Rosecrans, the commanding general, by some very slight omission. General Will Ich was sent for, and Informed by the general commanding that he must consider himself under arrest fDr the present. "General," said Rosecrans. sternly, "consider yourself under arrest, and leave your sword here until your case is tried." "Yes, general, I will consider myself under arrest," was the reply, "and shust so zoon as dis right's over I'll come and fix him up.""But, sir," said the astounded Rosecrans, "I want you to consider yourself under arrest noir." "Of course I do." responded Willich, prcmptl, "and so zoon as I get off dis fight, I'll be up and settle him." "But, sir," expostulated the commanding general, "I can't let you go Into this fight. You are under arrest. I will assign an officer to your brigad?." "You send an officer to fight my boys!" cried Wlllich, indignantly. "He can't do it; they don't know him. Me they know; I teach them. I fight them, and none of the boy? would know how to fight or what to do, only when I go with them. My boys belong to me! yes, me, General Willicli. I command the brigade, and I must fight the brigade!" General Rosecrans gave It up. General WUlicih was requested, to return and "fight his boys." which he did most successfully. And that was the end cf the matter. Jnekrnliltlt IHuner. I was one of abou: a dozen to spend the fall and winter of '04 near Cleveland, Tenn., repairing an old sawmill. We were out one day felling some trees for the foundation of the sawmill, when suddenly the teamster cam-? and told me he had shot a sheep and wished I would go quick and skin It. I did so, and soon that sheep wns skinned, quartered and in a bag. The teamster then took the bag of mutton to camp and our good old cook prepared it for dinner. During the forenoon one of the boys had been out around camp shooting jackrabbits. He had killed. quite a number of these Hesperian creatures when he had come into camp, but he and the cook preferred them for supper, so the rabbits were laid away and the mutton was used instead. The sergeant of our little squad had ofttimes said that he could not eat mutton. This, of course, gave chance for a good joke. The table was set, the boys called and before they sat down to "feed" each had been given the wink. The sergeant seated himslf with the remark, "I am. Indeed, fond of jackrabbit," and in fact, he ate as though he was. After dinner the boys told him ot the huge joke played on him; but he swore It was jackrabbit. This, of course, made the laughter so much the more, and the sergeant was led to the bag and shown the three remaining quarters. Throughout the remainder of our stay at Cleveland our "dude" sergeant could eat as much mutton as any of us. Wouldn't Surrender With a Loaded Gnu. At the battle o Cloyd's Farm an incident occurred the like of which I have not seen recorded in the annals of the war. The Confederates were outnumbered and flanked, beaten and many of them captured. II , a private In the Forty-fifth Virginia, had just loaded his gun and was putting on a cap when Yankees came up in front and in rear and on all 'sides, and ordered the Confederates to surrender, which many of them were doing, while others were dodgipg about and trying to get away. II couldn't bear the idea of throwing dovn a loaded gun, so without raising it to his shoulder he pulled the hammer back and fired, sending a ball through a Yankee not ten feet In front of him, and at the same instar.t dropping the gun and throwing up his hand3 he mingled with the other prisoners and in the turmoil and confusion the circumstances was not loticed by the captors. II was uneasy about .the affair all the way to prison, but tie boys kept bis secret and he returned homo at the end of the war. Why She U(. Mr. Styles What are you oryhr' about, dear?

Protection from I.lsrlitnlttjr. As from 700 to S00 people are killed, twice as many Injured and an immense amount of property destroyed by lightning every year, Trof. Henry of the weather bureau thinks more attention should be given to protection from lightning. The professor has recently prepared a paper on this subject, and it ha3 been published as Farmers' Bulletin No. 3Ö7 of the United States Department of Agriculture, and will be sent free. A AVnrnlns. I warn my countrymen that the great recent progress made in city life is not a full measure of our civilization; for our civilization rests at bottom on the wholesomeness, the attractiveness and the completeness, as well a3 the prosperity, of life In the country. The men and women on the farms stand for what is fundamentally best and most needed In our American life. Upon the development of country life rests ultimately our ability, by methods of farming requiring the highest intelligence, to continue to feed and clothe the hungry nations; to supply the city with fresh blood, clean bodies and clear brains that can endure th? terrific strain of modern life; we need the development of men in the open country, who will be in the future, as in the past, the stay and strength of the nation in time of war and its guiding and controlling spirit in time of peace. Theodore Roosevelt in Outiook. Pro (It ft in Dairying. The man who is carrying on diversified farming can not keep one cow for each acre of land he tills, but a dairyman can do so, and many of them do. They do not raise all tho grain used, but let their neighbors do it for them. They know that they can purchase grain for 100 cents cn the dollar and that their good dairy cows will return $2 In product for every dollar's worth of feed. They can better afford to spend their time In caring for the cows than in raising the grain. In alfalfa sections the man with forty good dairy cows on forty acres of land can furnish all the roughage required the year around. He can not afford to give his cows pasturage, but this is the most expensive feed anyway unless a fellow has open range close by, and such things have become mighty scarce around where civilization pre vails. We will assume that five acres of a good forty are used for the build ings, yards, roads, line fences, etc, This leaves thirty-five acres of land for actual tillage, and by having a silo and soiling in the summer time the question solves itself. Agricultural Epitomist. Pot nine Grown In n Hnrrel. A sensation in potato growing has seen created in the neighborhood of RIdgley, Md., or at Richardson, a sub jrb, by the discovery that potatoes 5rovn in a barrel yield enormously The experiment was put to a local test there this year, and during this iveck the experimenter, Oscar Meeds, mvited his friends and neighbors to rome In and see what the barrel con Uiln?d. Meeds, early in the spring jad planted the eyes of one whole po tato in a barrel which had contained 'me, but in which he threw some fer timed earth. As tne vines grew. Meeds added dirt, and occasionally added water when the lack of natural substance of the mother earth caused the dirt to appear dry. i'otato bugs could not reach it, and the paris green men. It Is said, were gloomy as the neighbors arrived to see what the old barrel contained on "digging day, Meeds carefully removed the earth i from the dead vines, and there, sure enough, and all connected to the vines by Dame Nature an1 not by a trick, i were 125 prime potatoes, or enough i to fill a peach basket, and leave a half j peck of small unmarketable potatoes in the barrel. Now it Is claimed at Ridgely that one man has given an order for 5.000 barrels to be made for him next season. The Delawarean. liar red Plymouth Itoekn. The breed of chickens one keeps Is a matter of perr nal choice, for any of the standard breeds well cared for will return good profits. Among the American breeds, usually termed gen eral purpose fowls, the barred Ply mouth rocks are very popular. Tho barred Plymouth rock chicken ha3 many good qualities for making it an ideal farm fowl. It Is a fairly good layer and the eggs are large and of a beautiful light brown color. In dividual members of this breed, under expert care at the Maine experiment station, have beat the world's record for egg laying. The hens are excellent setters and good mothers. Young barred Plymouth rock chicks develop rapidly, mature early, are of beautiful appearance; their meat Is of the finest texture and flavor and they command the highest price on the market for broilers and roasters. Capons of the breed are unexcelled and are preferred on some markets to all other breeds . Cockerels from 10 to 12 months old are of the fine flavor and make ex cellent roasters. Both sexes weigh heavy for their size, hence the breed is one of the best market fowls. The breed is popular an ong fanciers and eggs and stock of high scoring birds bring high prices for breeding pur- , poses. All of the rocks take on fat readily ! when given fat forming feeds, which makes them ideal for market purposes. but hens for laying should be given I plenty of range and their grain feed should be scattered In litter to Induce them to exercise for the promotion of egg laying. Fattening Chicken. Fat Is worth enougli cn market poultry that some men are making a business of buying fowls from the farmers and fattening them for market. It is an indisputable fact that the average lot of fowls marketed frc.ni the farms has received little or no attention to fattening. The farmer simply picks them out from the main fiock uhen the huckster comes around in hid wagon, and the birds arc weighed

i5 W If cap

and sent off in a half-fat The expert fattener figures that If ha can make only 10 cents a bird profit in the process it is a good scheme for him, because he can pick up an unlimited number of fowls In poor condition and put a pound or two mora weight on them within a very few days or weeks. Hence his operations are limited only by the amount of cap ital he has to Invest, and the fattening business is a method of "turning over money ramdlv. The lesson in this for the farmer is that he might as well be making this extra money as the other man. In a limited way, no special appliances are required for fat tening fowls, and if each farmer were to make only a few dollars annually in this way, considering the thousands of them that read this paper, the aggregate amount would make a very nice "nest egg," indeed. Agricultural Epitomist. The "WorlfP Wheat Crnp. For every 1S.000 pounds of Wheat that goes to the city there will go back to the farmer one pound of gold, says Herbert X. Carson in Harper's Weekly. For every loaf of bread upon a Londoner's table there will go a cent and a half to the man behind the reaper. And so the sale of every wheat crop means that the gold will come throbbing out into the arteries of business, like the blood from the heart, and on its way back and forth nourish the whole body of the nation. More wheat and a more efficient organization of wheat agencies that is the program of the future. Already one unsuccessful effort has been made to hold an international wheat congress, and the second attempt .may end more happily. Not that the world has become so small that a cable dispatch flashes completely around it in twelve minutes; now that there are forty-four nations united bv The iiacu ennfer - ences asd fifty-eight by the Postal Union now that war has grown to be so expensive that one cannon shot may cost as much as a college education and one battle ship as much as a first class university, it is quite probable that the march of co-operation will continue until there is a congress, and a central headquarters and tribunal, which will represent nothing less than an international fellowship of the wheat. 1.1 ft In i; Grapevinen. The best time to lift old grapevine for transplanting is in the late fall or early winter, while the vines are tn dormant condition. The work must not be delayed till late winter or early spring, as the necessary cutting back of the branches Is very likely to caus-s tho plant to bleed or lose sap at the fresh cuts. In lifting and transplanting old grapevines dig up the plant with a ball of earth holding the roots together two or three feet in diameter. Start to dig well out from the base of the vine and pry the root mass up in one solid piece. If the ball of earth holding the roots together has a tendency to fall apart It may be bound together with canvas or old grain bags. The more fine roots that can be taken up and preserved from exposure the better chances there will be for the vine living. If the work of lifting can be done when the soil is frozen rom six inches to a foot deep nearly all of the small roots can be secured unharmed. Have the new hole for the reception cf the vine prepared beforehand and fertilized at the bottom with well decomposed stable manure. Old shoes or old leather makes a good fertilizer for grapevines. Place the roots of the vine with the adhering soil mass in the new hole and fill about with as fine soil as can be secured, pressing down firmly as in the planting of ordinary vines for the first time. When old grapevines are lifted and .mi. ed they should be trimmed back severely, and no fruit need be expected the following season, owing to the shock ol transplanting, but after the vine begins new growth and becomes reestablished good results will follow. N Feed luff Kation. There are five classes of materials in feeding stuffs, viz., protein, carbohydates, oil or fat, minerals, and water. The mission of protein is to produce lean meats in the body, make blood, build up ew tissues, etc. I3y carbohydrates we mean the starchy materials, which give heat, fat and energy. They represent simply that part of hay, corn, potatoes and bread that go to keep the body warm, produce energy for work and fat whera the animal enlarges. Cotton seed has a good deal of fat, or oil, while corn has a .moderate amount. The latter constituent, like starch, will also furnish heat, energy and fat, and, being more concentrated than the starchy materials, will afford more than twice as much heat, fat or energy as will an equal amount ot starch or sugar. Mineral substances make teeth and bones, and to a certain extent contribute to muscle and flesh. Prof. Burkett of the Kansas experiment station says we take the bran from the wheat and give it to our cattle and pigs, giving only the soft, white part of the wheat to our children, which is lacking in mineral materUJs. This Is often the way with a good deal of our food. That explains why our children often have poor teeth and wTeak bones. Plain, common water Is an important ingredient In our foodstuffs. We must have protein for bone, muscle and blood; we must have the starchy materials and fat to keep the body warm, to create energy and to cnake fat. In corn alone there would not be sufficient protein to supply the wants of the bod-. To add timothy hay, for Instance, to corn, as is so often done in feeding work horses, there would ttill be a lack of protein, as there is very little protein in timothy. 15ut if, instead of feeding all corn, a few pounds of bran, or cotton-seed meal, or linseed-oil meal would be added, then we would more correctly balance the ration, supplying the protein needed. If the farmer will keep himself booked upon the analysis of the various feed stuffs (and this Information can be secured in bulletin form, free cf charge, by writing to the state experiment station) he will know exactly what articles are best suited for his purpose, and be more successful in the growth and production of his tarm animals.

the secrets cf suffering, and they have

R. V. Pierce in the hope and expectation of advice and help

That few cf these women have been disappointed in their expectations ia proved by the fact that ninety-cilit per cent, of ell wcuicn treated by Dr. Pierce have been absolutely and c!tosth?:r cured. Such a record would be remarkable if tho cases treated were numbered by hundreds otdy. But whea that record cpplies to the treatment of more than hdf-a- million women, in a practice of over 43 years, it is phenomenal,

Every sick woman may consult Dr. Pierce by letter, absolutely without charge. All replies are mailed, sealed in perfectly plain envelopes, without any printing or advertising whatever, upon them.
