• JOYS OF MATERNITY. VIGOROUS MOTHERS AND STURDY CHILDREN ADMIRED. Why •• Many Women Are Childless—A Problem That Has Puzzled Physicians far Centuries. Reproduction is a law of nature, and no picture of joy and happiness can equal that of the vigorous mother and furdy child. Mature makes but few mistakes, and every thoughtful person must admit that a ■a use exists, why so many women are jhildless. The subject baffles the ries of phyians. Such sare curable times out of as evidenced housands of ; on file at ’inkham's ofSlany a dar>aby owes its ence to Airs, ham's advice 1 the Vegepound. This is not to be wondered at when such testimony as the following explains itself: “I have taken three bottles of your Vegetable Compound, one package of Sanative Wash, one box of Liver Pills; and now I have a dear little babe four weeks old, and I am well. I have to thank you for this. “ I have spent $200.00 for doctor’s bills without obtaining any relief. For my cure I only spent $5.00. “I had been a victim of female troubles in their worst form; suffered untold agonies every month; had to stay in bed. and have poultices applied, and then couSd not stand the pain. . “ Aly physician told me if 1 became pregnant 1 would die. 1 had bladder trouble, itching, back- - ache, catarrh of ) the stomach, hys- y- y teria and heart jQ trouble, fainting V o, spells and leu- ■ * j . corrhoea. Can you wonder that K ’ f I sing the praises of a medicine that has cured me of all these ills?’’—Mrs. Geo. C. Kircuxkb, 173 Belmont Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y. 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 removes. That is whv 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 tlie 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, that you have the genuine art icle, 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 ■sed and gives most general satisfactioa.

OWNS PART O c MELBOURNE. New York Woman Coheir to an Estate Worth $24,000,000. Mrs. A. S. Rosenthal, wife of a New York silk merchant, recently received news that she and five other members of her family are heirs to property in Australia worth something like $24,000,000. The story of tills amazing windfall runs back to the days of-’49, and is thus relatetl by Airs. Rosenthal: "My grandfather was Isaac Lincoln, lie was of a roving disposition and went to Melbourne in the early days when the gold mines were thriving, and set himself up in business. He secured considerable land, and his interests increased, but his roving disposition got the better of him and lie kept looking around for the other laud. I One day news came from .California I that a great gold deposit had been struck; ami my grandfather gathered all lie had and sold^out his real estate with the exception of one tract of land that no one wanted to buy. After an uneventful passage he arrived in San Francisco bay and before many days had located himself on Telegraph hill, lie opened a ston* and made money, but his wife found she could not stand the hardships the pioneers hail to undergo. and after two years of the rough Western life he longed to get va*? nA 1 ' SIRS. a. s. ROCIMIf AL. back to Melbourne and his old friniils. He had a large family and found it to his advantage to charter a small sailing vessel nanied the Mamkadel, which was putting out fc" Australia. He had a son named John, my father, who insisted on remaining in San Finn cisco, having faith in the future of the West, and particularly California. He was allowed mdo so. nd his father and tlie rest of the family set sail for home. 'l'here is nothing more to tell of the Manikntb 1. She was m-v< r heard of again, and doubtless went down with all hands. In after years John Lincoln made money in San i'raneiso. I and, having no other home, remained then*, marrying my mother, and brim^ i ing up six children. entitle property, and tt hm^ii^^won i father died six years ago. it revert.st * ■to us and we st 1 ,11 own it. We knew i that grandfather had property in Aus I tralia. but did not believe it amount* d । to much. I “Here .-omes the jwetdiar part of the story. A Mr. Heath, of t hico. Cal, i went to Melbourne i-'cest’y on a trip. 'After Ite returned my brot her in-law ! was talking . with him concerning i grandfather's property, and mentioned i in a casual way that it was in a little ’ place called Mudgee. Mr. Heath said j that Mudgee was by no minus a small : place, but was a very tine suburb of ■ Melbourne. This set us to thinking I and also to work, with the result that j the property turns out to be the tract of land that Isaac Lincoln w;m unable to sell when he left Melbourne for Cal ifornia over fifty years ago. Almost the entire village of Mudgee is loeat- d on it, and a portion runs right into the city. My huslmml shortlj after that received letters from a Melbourne firm of lawyers, and I have since proved my identity ami relationship to grand father Lincoln, as well as to his son and my father. John Lincoln. There . are six of us altogether, ami we expect j to come into our fortune very soon. ' Current Condensations. Austrian law permits boys and girls - to marry at the age of 14.

MAMMOTH PARADES. SOLD AND SILVER HOSTS 0^ CHICAGO MARCH. The Mightiest Demonstrations Eve* Seen Upon This Continent—Tens of Thousands in Line, Viewed by Half a Million —City Suspends Business-

A Memorable Day. < Friday was the twenty-fifth annivoryary ] of the burning of Chicago and the day was । commemorated in that city by two of the ( greatest political demonstrations ever ) witnessed in this country. The day was given to a mammoth procession of gold men, and at night an army 20.000 strong of those favoring silver marched the I otreets w’ith flaming torches and lusty ( shouts for their candidates. । Over (10,000 men on foot, on horseback, on tloats, in carriages, all of them directly identified with the industrial and com- 1 mercial activity of Chicago, occupied the ' down town streets from 111 o’clock in the I morning until 4:15 o'clock in the after- 1 noon. Some of them were millionaires, some of them day laborers, many of them employers and thousands of them wageearners. This was the composition of ( what was admittedly the largest, best- ( managed and the most successful parade । ever witnessed in the city. It was Chi- , cage's own day, the twenty fifth uniter- ( sary of tlie tire of ISil and the quarter । centennial of tin* upbuilding of the city. । Ten o’clock was the hour designated by ( the Chief Marshal as the time fur' the ( movement to begin.

The slightest delay was prevented.
