THE EXCEIENCE 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. 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 California Fig Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other parties. The high standing of the California Fig Syrup Co. with the medical 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 weakening them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate., In order to get its beneficial " effects, please remember the name of the Company CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. ■AN FRANCISCO, Cat LOUISVILLE.

Milch Goats.

The goat ought to do a great deal to relieve the scare which has been produced by the reports that we have been habitually drinking milk infected with the tubercle-bacilli d, as it Is said that very few cows are free from tubrecle. In Sicily, Naples, Leghorn, Hyeres, Avignon, goat men go about from door to door and sell milk freshly drawn from the goats—a flock of ten or twelve goats. At Leghorn and at Avignon I myself have bought fresh goat’s milk at the door. No doubt in many other continental towns a similar goat’s milk trade is carried on. The English, however, are slow in quitting their usual groove, however advantageous and wholesome the quitting may be. Many years ago I suggested to the British Goat Society the advisability of importing some milch goats from Malta. I have nowhere seen finer milch goats than those of Veletta, taken round the streets, and the goats milked at the door of each house. The finest are white, with small ears, and pink udders, reaching almost to the ground. Comparatively speaking, they give a larger quantity of milk than cows, and the goats are much more economically fed than cows. In Calcutta there is a pretty small goat —a sort of toy goat—which gives good milk. The inhabitants prefer goat’s milk with their tea to cow’s milk, and those who have tried it think so also. Then on the highlands of Naples and Rome they have a milch sheep, from the milk of which the famous “Rieotta” (cream curds) is made,—London Spectator.

A Sensible Young Wife.

“How do you like my cooking? Come, now, give me your honest opinion. How does it compare with your mother’s?” “If you want my honest opinion. I will say your cooking is very fair, hut it is not quite equal to mother’s.” “1 did not expect it would be quite equal to your mother’s, but I wish you to remember that your mother had many years experience before you were capable of forming a judgment of her cooking.” “By Jove, you are right, I never would have thought of that, though I assure you 1 would have made no comments on your cooking if you had not asked for my honest opinion. The point you have made is a good one, but it is entirely overlooked by young married men.” ' ' “It is, and, unfortunately, it is not thought of by young wives. The idea of any man saying to a girl just a year or two out of school, ‘You can’t cook as well as mother,’ and never taking into consideration that mother has had an experience of forty or fifty years! Suppose the young wife should turn round and retort, ‘You’re not half as skillful a workman as my father” ” . “And I wonder she doesn’t. It’s a poor rule that won’t work both ways,” And so it is, when you come to think of it.—Saturday Evening Post.

THE RUSH FOR GOLD.

From the Times, Bluffs, 111. The rush of gold seekers to the Klondike brings thrilling memories to the “forty-niners” still alive, of the time when they girdled the continent or faced the terrors of the great American desert on the journey to the land of gold. These pioneers tell some experiences which should be heeded by gold seekers of today. Constant exposure and faulty diet killed large numbers, while nearly all the survivors were afflicted with disease,

"I finally pi acini my case with several physicians and doctored with them for some time, but they failed to do me any good. Finally, with my hopes of relief nearly exhausted I read an article regarding Dr. Williams’ Pink l’ills for Pale People, which induced me to try them. I was anxious to get rid of the terrible disease and bought two boxes of the pills. I began using them about March, 1807. After 1 had taken two boxes 1 was completely cured, and the pain has never returned. 1 think it is the best medicine I have ever taken, anil am willing at any time to sign my name to any testimony setting forth its great merit."

HUNDREDS DIE IN A HURRICANE.

Terrific Storm and Tidal Wave Sweeps Over the West Indies. A summary of the work of the hurricane that swept the West India islands includes the following losses: Persons killed, 531; persons rendered homeless, <>0,000; buildings destroyed, 12,000; ships wrecked, 3; small vessels stranded and missing, about 15. The hurricane-swept islands are in the Windward group of the Lesser Antilles. The storm was”accompanied by a tidal wave, and the islands of San Lucia, Barbados and Guadeloupe also suffered loss of life and property from the heavy weather. Kingston, the capital of St. Vincent, is totally destroyed. It is estimated that 300 lives were lost on that island, and that the homes of 20,000 people were destroyed. Bodies were buried in trenches. Thousands are starving or being fed at the public expense. Every small house on the Island of St. Vincent is down and many large ones, including churches and public buildings, were razed. Three large ships were blown ashore on the Windward coast, and many smaller vessels are stranded in, shoals and on rocks where they were either blown by the hurricane or washed by the tidal wave. An estimate places the number killed on the Island of Barbados at 200. Tremendous rains and the tidal wave caused numerous landslides, in which houses, bridges and cocoa estates were destroyed. The total estimated loss of life on all the islands is 531, and the loss of property aggregates millions.

TO BE MADE A CARDINAL.

This Signal Honor Will Be Conferred on Archbishop Ireland. The announcement that Archbishop Ireland is to be made a cardinal directs attention anew to the gifted and aggressive churchman. The archbishop is thoroughly American. Born in Ireland in 1838, he early emigrated to this country and settled with his parents in the Northwest., Even as a boy his ability was so great that he was sent to France to be educated, after he lmd decided to choose the profession of the priesthood. He refused to take orders in France and returned to St. Paul to be confirmed. The outbreak of the civil war found the young priest filled with patriotic ardor and eager to go to the front. He went as chaplain of the Fifth Minnesota regi-

ment and soon had gained the love of ail the soldiers with him. In battle, however, he laid aside' the clerical whenever he could help the fighters on the tiring line, and did not resume it till the wounded and dying needed his ministrations. Home from the war, he became rector of St. Paul’s Cathedral. In 1875 Dr. Ireland was appointed n bishop and assigned to the vicarate of Nebraska, but this assignment was changed nnd he was made coadjutor bishop of St. Paul. Nine years later he succeeded to the see of St. Paul, and in 1888 he was elevated tQ the archbishopric.

Premier Sngastu’M Daring Suppresses Spanish Agitators. By proroguing the Spanish Cortes iu th« midst of a heated and violent discussion over the war, Premier Sagasta ended a stormy session of the senate and probably saved his queen and country. Gen. I*imo de Rivera and Count Almenns were the leaders of the turmoil, and while it lasted the chamber was a wild scene of uproar nnd disgraceful disorder. Bagnsta, with the decree of the suspension of the session of the Cortes, ascended the tribune. He mounted the rostrum nnd read a decree proroguing the Cortes, and the law forbids any one speaking after the queen’s decree has been read. His pluck saved the country nnd his queen.

Dahlia a Popular Flower.

The dahlia, named after the famous Swedish botanist Dahl, appeared early In this century, and was as popular in the flower garden as were the camellias and fuchsias In the greenhouses, and still holds its o-wn. This plant, which is a native of Mexico, was practically introduced Into England by Lady Holland in 1804, as it had been lost since its first appearance some fifteen years previously, when Lady Buie imported it from Spain. During the first forty years of its popularity double dahlias were all the fashion, and since then the single varieties have had their day, while at the present time the new cactus kinds hold the foremost place. A florist writing about 1830 compared the fashion for dahlias, which was then at its height, to the tulip mania two centuries earlier, and, although the comparison is hardly correct, It shows the dahlia craze muss have been very marked to have even suggested it. — Longman's Magazine.

How Denmark Treats Her Poor.

Denmark makes a clear distinction between the thriftless and the respectable poor. The former are treated like English paupers. The latter never cross a workhouse threshold. If destitute, they receive a pension ranging from sl4 to SB4 a year; or, if too feeble to look after themselves, they are placed in an old-age home.

DECORATE YOUR HOMES.

Beautiful Representations of Wild Ducks, Pheasants, Quail and Snipe. Probably at no time in the world’s history has us much attention been paid to the interior decoration of homes as at present. No home, no matter how humble, is without its handiwork that helps to beautify the apartments aud make the surroundings more cheerful. The taste of the American people has kept pace with the age, and almost every day brings forth something new in the way of a picture, a draping, a piece of furniture or other form of mural decoration. One of the latest of these hns been given to the world by the celebrated artist, Muville, in a series of four handsome porcelain game plaques. Not for years has anything as handsome in this line been seen. The subjects represented by these plaques are American wild ducks, American pheasants, American quail uud English snipe. They are handsome paintings and are especially designed for hanging on dining room walls, though their richness and beauty entitles them to a place in the parlor of any home. These originul plaques have been purchased at a cost of $50,000 by J. C. Huhiuger Bros. Co., manufacturers of the celebrated Elustic Starch, and in order to enable their numerous customers to become possessors of these handsome works of art they have had them reproduced by a special process, in all the rich colors and beauty of the original. They are finished on heavy cardboard, pressed aud embossed in the shape of a plaque and trimmed with a heavy band of gold.
