iMITATED
TEE EXCttLEKCE CF 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 Fig Syrup
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 Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding- the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pa
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fro Sykup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Fig's has
jriven to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a g-uaranty
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 irritating1 or weaken
ing1 them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

PECULIAR CHINESE CUSTOMS.
The Young Are Burled with Few Fu
neral Rites.
The customs of the Chinese in the
matter of death and burial are certain
ly peculiar. Infants are buried sum
marily without coffins, and the young
are interred with few rites, but the fu
nerals of the aged of both sexes are
elaborate in proportion to the number
of the descendants and to their wealth.
When a childless married man dies, his
widow may perform all the duties of
a son' toward him, may remain in his
house, and may t'dopt children to rear
as his heirs, and as worshippers of the
family manes. If his widow purposes
marrying again, a young male relative
may, with the consent of senior mem
bers of the clan, undertake the services
expected from a son, and may inherit
the estate of the deceased. When one
is about to die. he is removed from his
couch to a bench, or to a mat on the
floor, because of a belief that he who
dies in bed will carry the bedstead as
a burden into the other world. He is
washed in n rteiv vessel, in warm water,
in which a bu::c!!e of incense sticks is
merited. After the washing the vessel
and the water are thrown away togeth
er. ITe is then arrayed in a full suit
of new clothing, that he may appear
at his best. He -breathes his last in
the main room before the largest door
in the house, that the departing soul
may easily find its way out into the
air. A sheet of spirit money (brown
paper having a patch of gilding on one
surface) is laid over the upturned face,
because it is said that if the eyes are
left uncovered the corpse may count
the row of tiles in the roof, and that
in such case the family should never
build a more spacious domicile.
TOLD
HIS CLAM STORY.
How
Funny Detroit Man Won Hia
Case With the Jury.
Marshall P. Wilder, the funny little
man, is charged with - having with
malice aforethought and evil intent
sprung a few of his tales on a jury and
thereby turned their verdict in his di
rection, says the Detroit Journal.
A few weeks ago Marshall came to
town and in tbe circuit court sued Dr,
Hercules Sanche on a promissory note
for $1,000. He won the case, and now
the counsel for the defense has applied
for a new trial on the ground that the
jury was improperly influenced.
The lawyer says that during a recess
Marshall went out into the hall and
told the jurymen a lot of funny stories
including that one about the New Jer
sey clam digger who fed his family on
clams so long that their stomachs rose
and fell with the tide. That settled it,
the Sanche lawyer says, and the t lan
who laughs was solid as a boarding
house biscuit with the jury. They went
into court, he says, and chuckled out a
verdict in his favor.
Tbe counsel for the defense says
Wilder's jokes would win a favorable
verdict from a jury of pine stumps,
hence the application for a new trial.
