The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
Califohnia Fia Syrup Co.,- illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
- them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing- the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per

every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of .manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatie plants, by a" method
known to the California, Fie Syrup

TREATY WITH THE SULUS.
President Sonde All the Correspondence
. w - ' . to i-khe Senate.
Washington, Feb. 6. In compliance
with a resolution of inquiry, the presi-
dent'has sent to the senate a copy of
the report and all accompanying papers
of Brigadier-General J. C. Bates, in
relation to the negotiation of a treaty
of agreement made by him " with the
sultan of Sulu, last August. In reply
ing to the request the president says:
"The payments of money required by
the agreement will be made from the
revenues of the Philippine islands, un
less congress shall direct otherwise.
Such payments are not for specific ser
vices, but are a part of the considera
tion going to the sultan, tribe or nation
under' the agreement, and they are
stipulated as subject to the action of
congress, in conformity with the prac-
tice of this government from the earliest
times in its agreements with the vari
ous Indian nations operating and gov
erning portions of territory subject to
the sovereignty of the United States.!
General Otis in transmitting the
treaty, August 27, says: .;
: "The attitude of these people has
been a subject of apprehension for sev
eral months, and by this agreement,
believe, the apprehended pending - dif
ferences are happily adjusted."
Secretary Boot, in a reply dated
October 27, tells General Otis that
the agreemnet .is confirmed and ap
proved by the president, subject to the
action of congress, and with the under
standing and reservation, which should
be distinctly communicated to the sul
tan of Sulu, that this agreement is not
to be deemed in any way to authorize
or give consent of the United States to
the existence of slavery in the Sulu
archipelago. 'At the same time-when
yon communicate to the sultan the
above mentioned -understanding, the
president desires that you should make
inquiry, as to the number ; of persons
held in slavery in the archipelago, and
what arrangement it may be practicable
for their emancipation."
In his instructions to General Bates,
under this direction, General Otis says:
"It is believed that the market price
of slaves in the archipelago is insigm
Scant, ranging from $30 to $90, Mexi
can, and that in some Instances own
ers will be pleased to grant freedom to
their slaves if they can escape the
burden of supporting them. ,
General Otis continues to the effect
that the character of the domestic slav
ery existing in the archipelago differs
greatly from the former slavery institu
tion of the United States, the slaves
becoming members of the owner's
family. . .. - . v J . ..
General Bates, in his report, stated
that when he first asked to see the sul
tan, the latter sent his greetings, say
ing he could not come to the general, be
cause he had boils on his neck, and could
not put on his coat, but that he would
recognize the protection of the United
States, requesting as a favor . that he
might hoist his own flag alongside that
of the" United States. -.The sultan's
brother went to Jolo to meet General
Bates, and the sultan afterwards joined
him. ; General Bates states in this con
nection that the Sulus are very jealous
of their institution of slavery.,-;-- ..
In his original instructions to Gen
eral Bates, General Otis instructed him
to push to the front the question of sov-
ereigntyfand told him be eonld promise
for the United States not to interfere
with,' but to protect, the Moros in the
free exercise of their religion and cus
toms, sooial and domestic, and to re
spect the rights and dignities of the
sultan. - In return they must ' acknow
ledge the sovereignty of the United
States. ". He also instructed General
Bates that it 'was important that the
United States should ocoupy the prin
cipal distribution centers of trade, and
that .Siassi, the. capital, should be occu
pied by our troops at no distant day.

WOOLEN GOODS ACTIVE.
Prove an Exception to Dullness Shown
in Other lines. '
Bradstreet's revievrsays: , '
Exceptions to the quiet and even
dullness shown by the -many lines of
trade and speculation are found in the
acte demand . for woolen goods ' for
next fall's delivery, and in the active
call for dry goods on spring account.
In the latter direction, prices show
special strength, and the bulk of the
business placed in woolens has been at
an advance of 25 to 40 per cent. : In
other lines, notable steadiness is shown
ia prices. Weather conditions through
out the country part Of the week, have
been against trade in seasonable goods,
apd there is very general complaint of
large stocks of winter goods in the
hands of this branch of trade. Another
effect of the usually mild, weather is
that shown in the Northwestern . lum
ber business. The lack of snow will
probably insure a reduction on the cut
of last year.and this, combined - with
smaller stocks, points to at least t
maintenance of present lumber quota
tions..;.; . ;.: ' : ;:-
Woolen manufacturers have consti
tuted an exception to the general quiet.
They opened their order books this
week, and an unusually heavy volume
of business is reported to have been re
corded. Cotton goods are reported in
good demand in nearly all markets,
and the confidence as to spring business
in dry goods-and clothing is .a notable
feature, m gTJtfp contrast, in lact.witn
the rejwrts received from retailers as to
the prssent season's business in winter-
wear goods. Scarcity of water is com
plainod of as limiting the output of
New England cotton mills, which are
reported as backward in deliveries.

' The Months of Madness.
Contrary to the general opinion, more
people go mad during the summer
months than in the usually gloomy and
dull months of November, December
and January, when times are bad and
the general conditions appear more con
ducive to insanity. Not only in this
country, but also in many others, it is
found more people go mad during May,
June and July than during any other
portion of the year, and that suicide
which is due to some form of insanity
is also. : more prevalent during the
summer. ;., ' . . - -

When a man gets one, he becomes a slave
to his bowels. Every person ought to have
control over the different parts of the body,
and it is the easiest thing in the world to
educate the bowels, make them do their duty
naturally and . regularly, . and keep them - from
becoming a source of misery and a deformity
as well. '-. . '. - - .
Educate your bowels! . ' '
Don't neglect the slightest5 sign of irregularity but
see that you have at least pneriatural asinpvementj;
SLiayTiite, salts and black draughts are dangerous
because they - strain and weaken the bowels. What
you want is a mild but sure laxative, that tones and
strengthens the bowels and stimulates their movements. ..
Such a laxative is CASCARETS, and when you
try them, you will find that it is the easiest thing in
the world to make and keep your bowels clean and,
regular, strong and healthy.; By keeping the. bowels1
