MOTHERS MUST GUIDE. Should Watch the Physical Development of Their Daughters. Information They Should Furnish at the Proper Time —Knowledge by Which Suffering May Be Avoided. Every mother possesses information of vital value to her young daughter. When the girl’s thoughts become sluggish, with zSSJx headache, dizziness, and a dis- V position to * H

* MmRSWi XOIO^® n/ r^J /^K i&wfl Wu^^HZ Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many physical ills which vanish before proper efforts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual disease, but simply to a constipated condition of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, promptly- rcuiovcs. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note when you purchase, thatyou have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxatives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere. Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction. RRR CUBES AND PBEVKNTS Colds. Coughs. Sore Throat. Influenza. Bronchitis, Pneumonia.

THE COTTON BOLL WEEVItThie Peet Has but Recently Appeared > in the United States. The agricultural department of the United States government considers , the cotton boll weevil, a picture of which is here shown, to be one of the most dangerous pests that has evet made its appearance in the United States. It has so far confined its operations to Northern Mexico and a limited area in Texas. It has in some localities shown a tendency to spread rapidly, while in others it is said to have been at work for years in very small anas, and shown little signs of ex-

Department experts have been at work investigating his bugship for some months past in the neighborhood of Brownsville on the Bio Grande. So far no cure has been discovered, and many acres of cot- 1 ton have been abandoned in conse- '

quence. Au extraordinary thing about this creature is that it will live in a cotton boll and nowhere else, and once secreted inside of these shells it Is safe from enemies and snug and comfortable in a bed of softest down. The appearance of this insect is dreaded later in the year. Current CondeneatiouH. There must be some mistake about orange Juice being good for you; it is so pleasant to take. There is one old-fashioned thing that Is quite common: the house that is as cold as a barn in winter. The man who hasn't sand enough to refuse a Leap Year proposal deserves the kind of a wife he will get. The woman who goes around solicit ! i lug aid for the poor is sometimes a ; great bore, but she is not a bore to the । l>oor. A girl should bear lu mind tiiat her lover will overlook her faults, but she ' Is lucky If her btislmtid does not find, them. A tanning concern In Seattle has re ceived in one consignment 115 bales of deer skins, weighing eighteen tons, and representing, probably. several thousand dead deer. The herring have turned their no«cs iu the direction of the Eastport, Me., sardine factories and busiuess is rushing among the packers. The price, however, is very low. An association has been formed In ! Paris of men who left that city in bal j loons during the siege. The number of । these daring aeronauts was 16S, but the association consists of only twentylive. It has been discovered that tiie new election law in California, which denies ' registration to those who cannot read or write their names or read the constiI tution, will disfranchise many illiterate J Portuguese and Italians, despite the ’ fact that they are naturalized citizens. The youngesi daughter of a revolutionary soldier, so far as known, was ' discovered nt Lebanon, Conn., recently.

Tiie exports of wheat in ISS2 werel 1.700 tons, and in P-sl the hr-; shlptmutM of Hour were 3,734 tons; in ISW the totaß had reached 327.89* tons of wheat amg 12.117 ton-of flour, ami in IMM 1 ims.itrl^ tons of wheat and ."a;.Sig lulls of (Mui. Mr. Mulhall, the well known shuisucian of the London T ines, is also editor of tiie linen.>s Ayres Standard, and he gives it as his opinion that the urea in wheat in the Argentine Republic in 1895 was more than double that of 1593. The following are his estimate- of the wheat acreage for the last three years, and they will give some idea of the niaguiinde as well as the growth of the industry in that country ami what our wheat fanm rs are to expect in the future: Years.

It is important also to cons,‘hr that the cost of raising shear in tiie Argentine Republic will .n erage 25 jot e»n: h -s ".ban in the United States, ami that the average cost of transporting it from the frrmer’s cart to tiie hold of the s’tawer is only | about 10 per < ent of the market value at I the seaboard.
