Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the man}' phys­ ical ills which vanish before proper ef­ forts--gentle efforts--pleasant efforts-- rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis­ ease, but simply to a constipated condi­ tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt­ ly 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 remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene­ ficial effects, to note when you pur­ chase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep­ utable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa­ tives 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. which England has reason to be proud.

One of the courts of New'Jersey has decided that a husband who drives his wife from home is guilty of abandon­ ment, and that the wife has the right to control the domestic atfairs of the family, notwithstanding the opposition of the husband or any of his relatives-- and the woman in this case was a sec­ ond wife, at that. An enthusiastic horticulturist, when he heard of the massacre of the Eng­ lish missionaries in China, wrote in his farm journal: "While we deplore bloodshed, it must be confessed that the English and American missionaries are a selfish lot. lacking in patriotism.

The new municipal technical school opened the other day at Birmingham, England, contains 134 rooms of which 116 are devoted to teaching, occupies an area of 2,000 square feet and has cost £89,000.

Anatole France, the latest addition to the ranks of the Forty Immortals, is best known in this country as the author of "The Crime of Sylvestre Bon- nard".and "Thais."

A railroad company, in enforcing its right of way over the lands of others, and in constructing its road, is bound to leave the adjoining lands and fields which it crosses in the same condition as regards the'facilities of cultivation and as concerns the utility of those lands to their owners as they were be­ fore the entry of the company. Hence a railroad company which constructs an embankment on the lands of a plant­ er, and thereby stops up his ditches and other artificial drains, is responsible to such owner for all losses of crops and other damages occasioned by such in­ terruption of drainage.

The - Home Upon Which Diimaa Squandered a Fortune, At his architectural folly of Monte Cristo, .near St. (Jermain-en-Laye, which he buiit at a cost of upward of 700,000 francs, and sold for 3(5,000 francs in 1S4S. Dumas had uninclosed grounds and gardens, which, with the house, afforded lodgings and entertain­ ment not only to a host of Bohemian "sponges," but to all the dogs, cats, and donkeys that chose to quarter themselves in the place. It was called by the neighbors "la maison de Bon Dieu." There was a menagerie iu the park, peopled by three apes; Jugurtha. the vulture, whose transport from Af­ rica, whence Dumas fetched him. cost 40,000 francs (it would be too long to tell why); a big parrot called Duval: a hiacaw named Papa and another chris­ tened .Everard: Lucullus. the golden pheasant; Caesar, the jjame-cock; a pea­ fowl and. a guinea-fowl; Mysoul' II.. the Angoracat; and the Scotch pointer Pritclia rd. This dog. Wits it character. He was fond of canine society, aifd used to sit in the road looking out for other dogs to invite them to keep him company at Monte Cristo. He was taken by his master to Ham to visit Louis Napoleon when a prisoner there. Tlie latter wished to keep Pritchard, but counted without the intelligence of the animal in asking Dumas before his face to leave him behind. The pointer set up a howl so piteous that the governor of the prison withdrew the authorization he has given his captive to retain him. Some of the dogs that Pritclia rd invited in stayed altogether; others re­ mained only for a meal. One day Michel, the gardener, .said to his employer, "Does monsieur know how many dogs there are in his prop­ erty'/" "No, .Michel. I don't." "Weil, there are thirteen." "An unlucky num­ ber. Take care that they don't all eat together, for if they did one would be sure to die in the year." "Oh, it's not that that troubles me." pursued Michel. "What is it. then'/" "I'm thinking that all these brutes are able to devour in one day a whole ox. horns and all." "You don't mean to say that they'd eat the horns'/" "Oh. if monsieur takes the matter as a joke. 1 have nothing more to say." "But I don't see any joke in it." "Well, then; just let me lay the whip on twelve of them, and the house will be rid of them right away." "Wait a bit. Michel. You see that all these dogs, in quartering themselves here, pay a compliment to the house.' (live them it grand dinner to-morrow and at the end of the-dessert tell them to clear out. If thev don't go. show severity." Michel was withdrawing when Dumas relented. "Hold!"' he cried. "You see, when the bou Dieu gives us riches, a line house, and posi­ tion. he also imposes charges upon us. Since the dogs--which, after all, are his creatures, too-are in the house/ 1 prefer that they stay. I don't believe that any one was yet ruined by what poor brutes ate. However, see that the number of thirteen is changed." "Will monsieur let me turn one away, and then there will be only twelve?" "Xo; encourage Priteliard to invite another, which will bring them up to fourteen." "But it will then be a pack." "With all my heart, provided the dogs don't quarrel and go mad." They never did bark and bite, but lived iu fraternal kindness until Monte Cristo was sold. Dumas, before he left it. got thirteen friends to take as many dogs, and kept Priteliard, who died with him of old age.--Century. The Boer and His Rifle.

We had only to name our buck --lirst, third, middle, tail of the line-- and that buck fell. He rather enjoyed banter about boing born with a gun in his hand, saying that it was little short of actual fact, for almost before he had ceased to crawl liis father would seud him out into the veldt with a muzzle-loading gun containing a bullet and a single charge of powder. With this he had to bring home a buck: and since the penalty for missing consisted in going supperless to bed, with the application of "strap" frequently thrown in. it followed that his misses were few.
