THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fio Sstrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fio Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fio Stkup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which tho genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the Dame of

Castelar patriotically refused. to head
J0)000 republicans who desired to take
advantage of the foreign complication
and overthrow the monarchy. Castelar
Is now 00 years old. He inherited his
invp of liberty from his father, who
lived in England an exile under sent
ence of death for agitation, and who
tiled destitute in 1830. The son was
given a flue education and was for a
time professor of philosophy In the
University of Cadiz, the town of his
birth and heart. He lost his place
when he founded the newspaper La
Democracia of Madrid. His conduct
with this paper earned him the sent'
i uce of death, but he escaped to Swlt
garland and France. When Isabella
II. was dethroned he returned to Spain
ind labored for a reublic. Restored to
Ids professorship he resigned in 1875.
King Auaadeo resigned in 1873 and
i'astelnr became minister of foreign af
fairs of the republic, and later in' the
same year was the executive head of
the republican government, Castelar
has been in and out of cortes for years,

supposed to be far ahead of his coun

Modern Methods in the Old World. I
The lighting of the tombs in the in
terior of the pyramids and the outlin
ing of the tops of the pyramids with
arc lamps has brought home to West
ern minds the fact that eleotricity is
rapidly being adopted in the far East
ern countries. . The Western Electri
cian in a recent issue states that elect rio
lighting, especially for household pur
poses, is rapidly progressing in Egypt.
It is offered at cheap rates, and is far
preferable in the Egyptian climate to
the very ordinary quality of gas sup
plied by the gas company at Cairo,
which has been granted a concession to
supply electrio light. Only two trains
on the government railway are at pres
ent equipped with eleotrio lights, but
other installations are proposed. The
gas company mentioned has contracted
to light all Cairo by eleotricity in lieu
of gas, and it is confidently expected
that Alexandria will soon adopt the
same method.

The Man Who Did It Famed Chiefly
for Hia Integrity.
Irving M. Scott, the man who built
the battle ship Oregon, is the head of
the Union Iron Works, San Francisco.
He is a native of Hebron Mills, Balti
more County, Md., and is CI years old.
His father was a Pennsylvania Quaker
clergyman ami his mother was a de
vout Quakeress two facts which ac
count for the soundness of the Oregon's
boilers and her trustworthiness aa a
ship. Young Scott was educated at a
public school in Baltimore and at Mil
ton Academy. In 1854 he began the
study of mechanical engineering, and
In 1858 he went to San Francisco to be
a draftsman for the Union Iron Works,
then the property of Col. Peter Dono

manufacture of mining machinery and
Poor digestion often causes irregular
ity of the heart's action. This irregu
larity may be mistaken for real, organio
heart disease. The symptoms are muoh
the same. There is however a vast
difference between the two: organic
heart disease is often incurable; ap
parent heart disease is curable if good
digestion be restored.
A case in point is quoted from the
New Era, of Greensburg, Ind. Mrs.
Ellen Colsom, Isewpoint, lnd., a
woman 43 years old, had suffered for
four years with distressing stomaoh
trouble. The eases generated by tiie
indigestion nressed on the heart, and
caused an irregularity of its action
She had much pain in her Btomaoh and
heart, and was subject to frequent and
severe choking spells which were most
severe at night. Doctors were tried in
vain; the patient became worse, de
spondent, and feared impending death,
