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 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 : medy which promotes internal clean less, without debilitating the organs on which it acts.

J LONDON’S MONSTER GLOBE. Will Show All the Geographical Features of the North. London Is now erecting a globe the like of which has never been seen. It will be the largest terrestrial globe ever constructed. It will be one live hun-dred-thousandth as big as the earth itself—that is, it will be eighty-four feet in diameter, and the earth’s surface I will be shown about eight miles to the ■ inch. i To find a city or town on this giant ' globe will be as easy as falling off a log. Every geographical feature, every town of as many as 5,000 inhabitants can be found. The surface of this globe will contain 22,000 square feet, and would, if developed into a band one foot high, measure over four miles in length. The man who has made the plans for this giant globe is F. Ruddiman Johnston, F. R. G. S., F. R. S. G. S. He lias developed plans by wliich the globe can be constructed in less than two years. The globe will open for observation parties, who will have place on a gallery runmag around it. To the up‘w IMi I J&slnA Yj 1 L $ 1 GIANT GLOBE BEING BUILT IN LONDON, per end of this gallery the spectators will be taken by an elevator, and as the globe is slowly revolved every por- ! tion of its surface will bo made visi- । ble. Various colors can be employed । in the making of the globe. Rivers and J lakes will be shown iu blue and mountains in their natural color. The colors on all the mountains and plains will be made to suggest conditions of temperature. As an aid to study this globe will be the greatest thing ever devised On the oceans there is ample room to show currents, prevailing winds, tempera - I ture, salinity of the sea, the depth and I nature of ocean beds, pressure of the J atmosphere and variation of the com- | pass, but on the land, though the gepg- | raphical distribution of plants and aniI mals, and even other matter, may be i indicated, It should not be forgotten that the globe is not intended to supcrI sede atlases and reference books, but I to encourage their use, and that the general public will it more for j general Information than for scientific research. Mr. Johnston has had six sections of the globe prepared. These sections, which include Egypt, England, France, j etc., are at present on exhibition at | Mr. Johnston's establishment in Ixm- ! don.

EFFECT OF AN.ERUPTION. People and Cattle Buried Under a Shower of Stones in the West Indies. But the bombardment in some places must have been terrible. I have seen tracts of land, once smooth and fertile plantations, now covered with the great rugged stones so that you have to pick your way among them as you pass. Many of them are four or five feet broad. Os course, these are only the larger stones; the little ones were buried under the soil long ago. Stones seem to have fallen all through the eruption, sometimes in one place, sometimes in another. Not long after the first expulsion of smoke, a 'negro boy was tending goats on a hillside; I have seen the place often. Suddenly a small stone fell near him, and, then another. He thought that some of his playmates were pelting him from the bushes, and so began to throw stones in return. But the contest was too unequal, for it was the mountain that was throwing stones at bim;^ad| ere long lie fled in terror, leavl gents to their T have no space to tell y^ story of this great eruption; li^TrTwßy' plantations were ruined by the sharer of stones, and, far worse, how fifty or perhaps a hundred people were kill^Kl by them, with great numbers of obi Ue and horses; how the lava damned back a stream and formed a bdin#£ lake, which broke through afte Ji month and came hissing down the Ymley, overwhelming a whole negro tlement; how ashes were carried i or six hundred miles out to sea aip Bardos, eighty miles on, was darkened by the cloud, so that people had to. grope their way at noon and use candles in their houses; how the explosions wore heard hundreds of miles away, and it was thought that they were the guns of a great fleet or army. But one tiling I must tell you. M hen the eruption was over and people could ascend the mountain again, they found the crater —the one Dr. Bell bad visited all changed. Instead of the smoking cone, there was a lake of water nine hundred feet below, filling the whole area, and so deep that no one has ever been able to fathom It. And beside this, separated from it only by a thin wall, they found a new crater, even larger; it was marly a mile long, three quarters of a mile wide, and eight hundred feet deep, with sides like walls. That pit was Wown out by the great explosion, I have stood between the two craters. and looked down into them. The new one is green and pretty now, with bushes and ferns, and no signs of fire; but the old one is a hideous depth of gray green water, through which bubbles are always ascending and burst- • Ing Into sulphur fun’es at the top.

St. Nicholas. Seems to I low < p Hilt. The historic Welaka River, the mod- j ern St. John's. Is to the stranger on - ’ of the most interesting rlvi i’s on the ' American continent.

Finding its source in the far | South, It flows northward for nearly all i its length until, reaching the metropolis : of Florida, it turns eastward and pours i its great valume of waters into the | ocean. Tills fact seems the more j strange since the universal opinion | prevails that the extreme south Is low ' and flat, and would leave the impres- ■ sion that the river ran up bill ns It ; cuts its way through the much higher | lands of the northern boundary. This, however, is a minor point of interest compared witli the wild appearance it I presents to the eye of the stranger as first he beholds it, with Its sombre cypresses, almost awakening superstition, and the swamp hickory, with Us peculiar foliage and small but rich sweetnut, upon which the far-famed razor-backed hog and the beautiful gray sqtiirrel'fi ast in pr< but doubtless with voracious appetite.

Exit the Blue Jacket. A proportion of the blue jackets of any full-rigged ship were necessarily athletes. The “upper yardmen” in a line of battle ship orn frigate were exceptional men in-this way, and much more so, perhaps Just about the time that sail power was receiving its death warrant than ever before. These young men had to race aloft to nearly the highest points, at top speed eight or ten times a week when the ship was in harbor, to keep their heads and maintain their breath while holding on by ‘•their eyelids,” as the phrase gees, and manipulating with a careful and measured order of action the various and intricate arrangements for “crossing” or “sending down” the royal and topgallant yards. It was all done at full speed, for it was universally held that the upper yardmen gave a character

to the whole ship; and that one which was foremost in this exercise was ever considered the smartest ship In the fleet. The upper yardmen were always the coming men. They had the most opportunities for distiiiguishing themselves, were the best known, and were most under the eye of the authorities. They developed great muscular power in chest, shoulders and arms. Their lower extremities suffered, and one always knew the men who had been upper yardmen by their tadpole-like appearance when they were bathing. But in the modern steam line-of-battle ship and frigates these extremely ath^etic specimens formed a very small minority of the ship’s company, and none of them could lose his turn at being upper yardmen so long as the ship’s reputation depended on the speed with which the upper yards were crossed and sent down. In harbor the rest of the blue jackets had the handling of yards and sails for exercise once or twice a week, but at sea the use of j^ails for propulsion grew loss and less funportant, and most of the work aloft Wy more of an exercise and less of a .necessity.

Prof. Woodrow Wilson’s sympathetic and dignified magazine articles on George Washington are about to be published in book form.

The poems of Johanna Ambrosius, the German peasant poetess over whom the critics have been so wideeyed, are to be published in English. The translation is made by Mary J. Sa fiord. Sir Richard Temple's autobiography, ' "The Story of M.v Life," s >on to appear ' in two volumes, covers an active public career of nearly half a century.

In League with Satan. Almost every renowned man of nn- | tiqnity In the Middle Ages was be--1 llevcd to be In league wish Satan. I’robi ably the oldest legend of wliich the 1 Faust legend Is a continuous thread Is ■ that of Slmeu Magus. According to | Justin, he was a native of Gitton, a < village In Samaria; he was, no doubt, I a man of great Intellectual powers, lie i was the father of the school of the Gnostics. It Is also reported of him | that he could make himself invisible, i that he could pass through flames uni harmed, could transpose matter, make ! g 4d, and exorcise demons; in fact, he | ' 1 d claim to all these powers, and his ] name as a miracle worker lived ; through many centuries. Unusual ac- ' complisbments, great erudition, were j attributed to the supernatural influence, and the general disposition to superstitious assumption was strengthened on the one hand by dogmatic affirmation on the part of the church of the existence of a personal Satan, with his numerous household, and on the other hand by incorporating the magic arts among the practical sciences, of which astrology and alchemy occupied no mean part. She Was a Heroine. Among a party of young men and women who were taking an evening ramble the other day near the village of Clandy, in County Derry, was a young man from Belfast who had come to marry a Derry girl, one of the party. In crossing the River Faughan by a wooden bridge he missed his footing and fell into twenty feet of water. In vain the distracted girl besought the men around to rescue him, but no one was willing to court an almost certain death. As he rose to the surface fcr the third and last time she leaped into the river herself and, clutching her now exhausted lover with one hand, swam with great difficulty to the river side, where willing hands received them both. teacher's Saying, “More pic, Johnny?

A Tenacious Clutch Is that of dyspepsia. Few remedies do more than palliate this obstinate complaint. Try Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, however, and you will find that it is conquerable, along with Its symptoms, heartburn, flatulence, nervousness, and loss of flesh and vigor. Biliousness and constipation frequently accompany It. These, besides malarial, rheumatic and kidney complaints, are also subduable with the Bitters.
