Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many physical ills which vanish before proper efforts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rigidly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of fcLkness 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 whoValue good health. Its beneficial effects are due to ti e fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organ on which it acts. J t is therefore ell important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to rote when you purchase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California I-'ig 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, enc may be commended tothc most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the lest, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used a nd gives most general satisfaction.

Friends of the Koatl. The spirit of unfriendliness that for a time threatened to produce strained relations between the horse and the bicycle is being softened by the Might of time and a clearer realization of the mutual Interests and purposes of the two types of steeds. The horse no longer shies at the wheel and the wheel no longer presumes to crowd the horse quite off the earth. They have mutually agreed that there will be room and use for both, though the former's sphere promises to continue the shrinking process it has for some time been undergoing. Hut while the sphere of the horse may grow smaller, it will surely grow smoother iiuJ better, and the horse himself will improve to the extent that his surroundings are improved. Iticyeles will bring good roads. Good roads will bring horses.

The Chief Road-Maker. The bicycle, which at first was seen

only iu the important cities and cen

ters of population, soon wandered beyond the smoothly paved streets out

into the highways and byways of the

world.

The wheel, which is the most nearly

natural of all artificial means of loco

motion, inspires in the breast of its rider a deeper and broader love of na

ture. It moves too fast and too far to

be hedged within the confines of a

city's walls. Its mission is to "go," and

it has gone to the uttermost ends of the

world.

At some time or another the bicycle

has threaded its way through every hidden lane and by-path, in every nook

and corner of the land, and wherever it

has gone it has sown amid the rough

clods and muddy wastes of the high

ways the seeds of discontent with existing conditions. Those who watched it

patiently feeling its way, for the first

time in their lives realized that the roads were rough. And from that seed

of thought has grown the now general

movement to mend the public high

ways.

lioad Improvement has followed In

the track of the bicycle. Wherever it has gone it has served as a forerunner.

of progress, and to Its presence thö

many and lasting joys of good roads

may be very largely ascribed.

The bicycle is the good road maker of

the world.

Suing lor Half a Mustache. A singular story is reported from St. Calais. A few days ago several persons were sitting at a table in a

local hotel when the splendid mustache of a horse-dealer became the subject

of conversation. One of the inember.1 of the party complimented the horsedealer, and asked him for what prieo he would sell his mustache. 'Ten francs,' replied the latter, laughingly. I will buy half of them," said the would-be purchaser, placing 5 francs on the table. The horse-dealer put tho money in his pocket and later in the evening left the hotel. Not quite appreciating the joke, the man who was minus the 5 francs sought the aid of the County Court process-server, and, having laid the Information in regular form, brought action against the horsedealer for r0 francs damages for nor.execution of his contract.

Capture of Hare Hirds. Two rather Interesting birds hare arrived at the Ixtndon Zoological Cardens. These arc two young specimens of the king penguin, which may grow, Bhould fortune favor them, to a height rather more than three feet. These penguins come from the Antarctic regions, and when the large species wa? first discovered the discoverers thought that the land was inhabited by a iot of nice children, neatly attired In pinafores, for the white breast of the bird, tied round tho nook, as it were, by a white line, gives this impression. An Klectrie Hen. An electric hen has recently been Invented which is claimed to be superior to tho natural article of Mesh, feathers and blood, except that It cannot lay eggs. When tho electric incubator has produced the chickens an electric foster mother takes them in charge.
