THE EXCELLENCE OF SYBCP OF FIGS in due not only to arUrin&Iity and simplicity of the combinai'rr nt also to the care and skill with whica it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the Calipokxxa. Fio Sykcp Co. ouly, and we wish to imp ss upon all the importance oi purri.abinjf the true and original remedy. As the fj-enuine Syrup of Figs la manufactured by the California Via Stkcp Co. July, a knowledge of that fact will isfcist one in avoiding the worthies mitations manufactured by other paries. The high standing of the Cauvobjsia Fio brkCP Co. with the medical profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs ltas given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a fuaranty of the excellence cf its rtrcody. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weakening them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate.

The telephone has becoms a business necessity ir. every con? iderable commnni'y and the people are entitled to the best audcheape.t service that can be had. The country is to be congratulated on the result of the content in the sen ate over the peace treaty. The ratification was p.b important an American victory as the destruction of Cevera's fleet. The victory was won by a nar row margin. All the straight Repubpnblicans in the senate v.ited for the ratification except Hoar and Hale. The vote stood &7 to 27. As two thirds were necessary to ratify there was only one vote to spare. While the margin arm fniu, small it was enouch. Thn war with Spain is now Over i the settlement of the questions grow ing out of it is in the hand's of congress where it belongs. The first thing to do will be to settle ARUtnaldo and his barbarian mob. They must be speedily taught that the United Ststes has the right and the power to dispoie of the Philippines without asking permission of that gang. Representative Roots is preparing a bill, says the Indianapolis News, for the equalization of salaries of state officers, that is causir.g some of the officers, particularly the secretary of state and clerk of the supreme court, to haunt both branches of the general assembly. It will, it is understood, meet the approval of the ways and means comaittee and the finance committee in reducing salaries in some quarters and increasing them in others. The idea is that none of the state officers should receive more salary than the governor, who gets $3,000 a year. This would reduce the pay of the secreta;y of state $1,500 a year, and the hardest fight will be made on that office. It ia asserted by those favoring a redaction of salary that the secretary's office, so far as Indiara is concerned, is practically a useless office: that it could be abolished en tirely as far as any actual need of it is concerned, and that there are plenty of good men in the state who would be glad te accept it for $2,000 a year The argument against the redaction, it is asserted, is that the office heat's the state ticket in off years, and that neither Republicans nor Democrats would be willing to pay tte heavy assessments and make the political fight unless the effi were a good paying one. There is cot much inclination to reduce salaries in the auditor's office for the reason that this is considered an of fiee of importance, and good men, it is argued, mast be elected to manage it xhe orhee oi attorney-general pays $7,500 salary and large salaries to the deputies and a good bit for expenses, It is ironed by Mr. Roots that the opinions and nearly all the work of the office have no binding effect, and that the legal work would be well paid for less money. The cletk of the supreme court gets $5,000 a year, which is more ttan is paid to the supreme judges, and there is a feeling that thi amount should oe recucea, as wen as the $4,000 that is paid the reporter of the supreme court. Tha siate treasurer receives $7,500 a year, ard there is a desire to cut this down, on the theory that the treasurer of state is able to make a good deal more than that sum out of his office, and that the salary is the smallest consideration. The best way to avoid sicknes is to koep yourself healthy by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla the great blood purifier. 3

It is headed by such a well known character actor a3 George F. Nash, who has been seen here many times. Ia the role of Benjamin Bachelor, Mr. Na-h is confident that he has tha most congenial part of his career, one in which he is in his element.

James S-hlater of Richmond was in the city last night, says the Anderson Bu'.ktin, and stated that the natural gas ques.ion was the an-aosoiDiEg topic of conversation" in that city at present. There is the same shortage there whieh exists here and the people are loud ia the ir complaints. They are. as here, obliged to pay the full gas rate and are making a desperate kick to gt t out of it. Also, as in the case of Anderson, the shortage ex sts in spots and this cannot be accounted for. Mr. Schiater states th an effort will b3 made by the citizens down there to ficrht the charges for a full suprly as are specified on their con tracts when they are only receiving one half what they need. The people will find out as have the Anderson people that it does co good to kick; the best thing to do is to pay your bill aud say nothing; that is what it will re solve itself into in the long run.

The intense cold of winter ts a strain at best, and followed by the enervating influence of spring, pulled me down completely. My nerves became in some way disarranged and the result was most annoying. I was induced to try Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, after my physician had plied me with drugs to no purpose, and the Nervura did the business.

She attained a si-el of S.5 miles per hour. The eugine was subseiuenlly transferretl to the 1'iiited States Naval School at Aiiitajolis. Fuel, up to the year lS3t, was wholly pine wood, tliouh up to that time some owners of steamboats commenced e.inri!ncntiug upon the practicability of using anthracite coal. A Steamlioat on her route of six or more hours could not have the capacity in her fireroom to contain all the wood required, and was compelled to pile it u;m.ii her side houses, and such boats as were 011 a long route, as from New York to Providence, wore compelled to invade their upper deck wii wood, and ujou leaving the city had somewhat the semblance of a floating woodjard. Iu is3t anthracite coal was introduced iu the furnaces of the steamboat North America, plying on the Hudson Itiver between New Y'ork and Albany, ami, to aid its combustion when a hiiih pressure of steam was required, a fan-blower, driven by a belt 1 rum the wheel shaft, was first resort d to, but soon afterward a small Independent engine, was used, connected by a !o!t to the blower. Anthracite coal was soou afterward burned without auxiliary draught in the open furnace of a steam boiler. IV by at HIM and it. Why do otherwise well bred cats hiss and spit when enraged? Dr. Iouis Kohinson says: The hissing and spitting of young kittens, even before they see, was, iu the first place, probably an attempt, to intimidate enemies by making them th.nx that the hole where the helpless wild kittens resided contained a venomous snake. It is a very curious aud remarkable fact that many different kinds of creatures which have their homes iu shallow holes have a similar habit of spit ling when an enemy approaches. Kurthermoi'e. I think it probable that the expression of a cat at bay is part of the same instinctive stratagem. We know how general is the horror of the serpent tribe throughout all nature, and hence it seems likely that the serpent-like aspect of the head of au enraged cat, together with its threatening hiss, might disconcert an enemy suriicieiitly to give mi advantage to the cat. Curiously enough, cats of all species have their tails marked transversely iu a way wlncli resembles tne marking of serpents, and several naturalists have remarked how similar are the sinuous, waving movements of the tail of any angry cat to the movements of the tail of the snake iu a state of exis curieu lip asieep nas a curious re semblance to a coiled serpent, and the same is true of many wild cats of different varieties and coming from dif ferent parts of the world. If this really is an instance of protective mimicry. think it is possible that the chief foe guarded ugainst was the eagle. Kaglcs are very fond of cat's flesh, and it has boon remarked by naturalists in var ious parts of the world that these for midable birds habitually make war up on the smaller feiidoe.''

FACTS ABOUT FLIES

ADV1R43LY CONSTRUCTED FOR THE PURPOSES OF THEIR CREATION. Theory at lta AntlMj ta Walk ea tne 1 eil lac Kxplalael Of rea Valaa to HinuliT aa a kcatHtfr Hit Thaua4 Eye. The humble housefly is one of the oldest aud always has le-n oue of the most distinguished of insects. He was worshipped by the ancients and placed as a constelkition In the heaveus. Th- rhilistir s sacrificed to Beelxebub : s goi t t and the t'yreneans to Aehrtr. Tiie ;wts offered an ox every year to Zeus Apomyis in homr of the gl of files, ami tsie Romans sacrificttl yearly in the temple of Heracles Victor in Home. The Jyrl ans. too. tried to apilease the troublestme god. The Korau of the Mohametans p-omised that "'all flies shall perish except oue. and that is the beefly." lespite their antlqnity, flies are still something of a mystery, mid it was not until l."iS4 that Dr. J. Uombout. a French entomologist, discovered and advocated the correct theory of how a housefly walks on a coiling. Ir. Komlvout proved that the fly clings to a smooth surface bv capillary force, the molecular action ltwecu solid aud liquid substances. The insects" feet are covered with many thousands of fine hairs, each of which terminates in a bulb. Through these hairs run a thin liouid that seeps through m a tiny drop at the end. When several thousands, of these drops have been fastened to a window pane or ceiling there is uo difficulty at all for the fly to hang u and no difficulty for him to release himself Instantaneously. This Is the theory of Hombont. obtained after some fine calculations. A once popular idea was that the feet of the fly, lieing cup-shaped, enabled him through what is called suction to cling to the eeiliujt'. l!ut rilackwell puts flics iu a glass vaccuui. where they climed the sides as easily as In the open air. llooke next tried to prove that the fluid the feet of the fly sent out was viscous, and held the Insect to the surface like mucilage. This theory was exploded by Komltout. who proved that tne fluid was not viscous. Ami if it were, said he, it woulu tx absurd to KupMst that a fly. after resting in one itosition for an hour and giving the thick liquid time to harden, could release b.mself instan taneously when alarmed. Then Komltout set alout formulat Ing his own theory. He examined the tracks of flies on a whitlow pane, an the idea, of capillary force impressed him. He dipped the end of a hair In oil of olives and succeeded in suspending the hair from a clean glass pane. Water brought the same result as oil of olives. 15y a series of fine cal culations IiomlHMit found that a fly could walk upward on a vertical glass pane supporting an increase over his own w eight of .02 of a grain. He then weighed down flies with papers attached to thoir backs aud found by experiment that his reckoning was correct. llombout. In the course of his experiments, discovered other Interesting things aliout the fly. Each of the two wings of the insect is provided with hairs on the undersole that serve as a fine brush to clean the feet. When a fly rubs his legs he is not always wa hing Ins hotly, but is often removing the dust particles from the hair in his feet that the fluid may run better. The feet must be kept clean or the fly cannot cling to a surface. He finds it impossible to walk across a pane covered with dust, ami oily surfaces cause the liquid from his feet to run together, so that he is apt to slip. I'nder the wings of a fly is a pair of -jUUunjAU. lilthj. iairca.d4.lhat terminate each In an oval biitton.Svher the ny is on the winj these buttons expand and guide the flight. A fly has no lungs, but breathes by spiracles or breathing pores that lie open all over his Inidy and connect with au intricate system of air tubes. These spiracles are protected from the dust by networks of i,no. filmy, fibres that look something like exquisite lace-work. The chief value of a fly lies iu his scavenging qualities. Indeed some scientists say that without his assistance man would not ! able to live in the temperate zone. The fly feeds on1 both liquids ami solids. Hi's mouth is' shaped something like a pump, and he sips perspiration and saliva, his favorite foods, through fine and cun ning tubes. Solids he reduces to liquids before he swallows them by a process of secretion. He is a voracious cater, and lives largely on the Juices of decaying moat, fruit and vegetables. Linnaeus, the Swede, asserted that three Cios with thoir progeny could devour a dead horse as quickly as a lion could. It lias Ix'on estimated by scientists that a fly can multiply himself times "every twenty four hours. Each new born fly becomes full grown in four or five days. Nature has provided well for the fly in bis powers of Sight and ability of escaping from danger. He is supplied with T.OOO separate eyes that never sleep and can look either In front or behind. Each eye is separate and of peculiar construction, shaped like a hexagou. When alarmed the fly leaps sw iftly from his" resting place into the air. detaching his legs with no apparent difficulty. After the first bound he Is generally out of danger, and resumes his leisurely flight. If be chooses, however, he can fly twenty-five or thirty feet in a second. Kntlr.ly Snfo.
